on Gladden's discourse, at Columbus,
in which he took the position that
the closed shop is wrong Here is a
paragraph:
mo: the principle OF the closed
shop is wrong everywhere; in reli-
gion and in industry. II is bad and
foolish business trying to gather to-
gether a group of your young friends
larger or smaller. and to push their
interests at the cost of the rest OF
your neighbors; to win success or
prosperity for your own group by
crippling or furnishing or shutting
out those who do not belong to IT,
That is the game, unfortunately, that
nations and classes and sects and
guilds and unions have been playing
through all the centuries of history;
but the thing that Jesus Christ came
into the world % do was to stop that
game, to make men see that the
right way to live together is to be
friends, to help and serve one an
other 1t has taken the people who
profess to be His followers an un-
consciously long time to find out
tnat that is what He came to do, and
there are plenty of them yet who do
not believe it; who still suppose that
war and strife and competition are
the ruling principles of the social or
der: but II is beginning TO be evid-
ent to some, in these days, that this
is all wrong, and that the Christian
way of living together is the right
way and the only way. That is the
thing we have got to learn,-the
Christian way OF living together.
THE very fear and peril of war is
heaping huge burdens upon the
shoulders of the industrial classes.
The mere possibility of war costs all
the great nations of the world today
an enormous sum every year, ana
every year the cost is increasing. 1t
is bound to increase by leaps and
bounds. just so long as war is nat
ional possibility. That crippling,
crushing load will grow heavier every
year. That is what it means to
have the nations of the earth keep
on in the old way.
And II is just so with our indus
trial strife. The cost OF that Is be-
coming terrible. The old way is the
only way, men say; and so we go on
pushing, scrambling, crowding,
Itrampling-man against man, group
against group-trying TO get the ad-
vantage of one another, to outwit
and overreach one another, till class
es stand over against each other,
Icompactly organized for warfare and
ready to inflict deadly injuries on
one another; till the hot struggle for
mastery eliminates in commercial
crises and collapsed industries-and
all over the land machinery is rust
ing in the mills and miles of cars
are motionless on the sidings, and
pale-faced workmen stand at the
doors OF their homes listening to the
voices OF their little children who
are crying for bread within"

MAKE FRIENDS
WITH CATS
Rats are so Tame that Their
Old Enemies Pay no At
tention to Them.

London, May 1S. The Peterbor-
ough district is suffering from a
visitation of rats and mice, which
are present in such large numbers
as TO amount to a serious plague.
Farmers speak of tneir corn stacks
as being quite undermined, and at
the threshing the produce is found
to be earless and well-nigh worth
less. In the city, and especially in
the older parts of the neighbOrhood
of the cathedral the residents are at
their wits ends TO know what TO
do to check the rayages of the ver-
min. Traps are useless. although
mice are being caught by hundreds
in them.
"They don't come sinsly, but in
big battalions," said one worried
householder. Cats are at a premi-
nm and are glutted with mice. The
sport for them, however, loses much
OF its zest because the vermin have
become so tame that residents speak
of them as roaming about the floors
and over the tables as If they were
part of the domestic establishment.
Their latest raid has been on the
postoffice. where they appeared in
force.
Recently the city council debated
the question ON a petition from a
number of citizens, and IL was de-
clared that, as far as the rats were
concerned. the nuisance would not be
abated until several streets of old
were pulled down.

FOR SIOUX
Band Which Rescued Six
Whites is to be Remem-
bered with a Shat.

Aberdeen, s. D., May 1S.-After
the lapse of well nigh half a century
the band of young Sioux Indians,
known as the Fool Soldier band,
which in November, 1862, at great
personal risk to themselves, rescued
at spot near the Missouri river In
what Is now walworth county, South
Dakota, two women ana four chill
dren, whites, who had been abducted
by rowing band of Sioux from their
homes at Lake Chetak, Mimi, are
to be remembered and their heroic
behavior eommemorated by suit
able monument.
Under the ausplces OF the South
Dakota Historical Society and the
South Dakota Pioneer Association, a
granite shaft will be erected on June
q, mile from NIobridge, s. d.
where the rescue was effected.
The Fool Soldier" band consisted
of eleven young Indian braves, and
their act was one OF the exceptional
deeds of the aborigines in which the
whits were befriended at the risk of
mourning ostracizatlon and the en-
nifty of not only their own tribe,
but the entire Sioux nation, at that
time powerful and warlike.
After conceiving the idea OF saving
the white captives, the young braves
| watched with unceasing vigilance
until the opportune time came, when
they secured possession OF the cap
tives and rushed them to a white
settlement whence they were re-
turned to their homes.
Walworth county was at that time
totally unsettled by whites. but at
ter the whites settled the country the
members OF the band were always
welcome guests at any white mans
house, and after the Walsworth Coun-
ty Old Settlers Association was
formed, the survivors or the band
were features OF every reunion Of the
association.
The monument erected TO their
memory will be a plain granite shaft.
standing upon two mammoth native
bowlders and suitably inscribed with
the account OF the deed which won
the Indians Immortality. Doane
Robinson, of Pierre, s. D., state his
torian, will deliver the address at
the dedication of the monument.

forth to ignite the powder in the
magazine of a warship, fifty miles at

An etheric wave goes any place It
pleases, and it penetrates an armor

goes through French glass. A war
ship may send from far at sea an
undulation that will set a city on fire
or blow up its bulwarks.
There is no end to the awful fancies
one may build on the little fact that
a fire may be lighted by an etheric
wave started six miles away. Just
watch and see what human genius

WITH HER
OWN FLESH
Indian Mother Feeds Her
Children Until Relief
Came.

Traverse city, Mich, May 49,
Hilton George, of Lake Nipigon, in
the Algoma district of Canada, who
is here visiting relatives, tells a
story which fully illustrates the
strong mother love which exists
among savage women.
Mr.. George, who has been with the
Hudson Bay company for four years.
has charge of an important post.
Hearing that one of the company's S
indians had died and his family was
in bad shape, he set out for the wig
wan, travelling by snow shoes and
with a dog team pulling the supplies
on a sledge. Because OF the deep
snow he was delayed two days and
when he reached the wigwam in the
dense wilderness terrible sight
greeted him.
The mother had known that the
trader was coming and had doled out
the provisions carefully, seeking to
make them last until his arrival
The delay had been too long, how
ever, and the mother, taking the keen
hunting knife that had belonged tc
the father, cut several strips from
her thighs, and upon her own flesh
fed her children.
George loaded the suffering woman
upon the sledge and, taking the chill
dren, dragged the woman TO the
post, sixty miles distant. She stood
the journey well, and is now making
a brave fight for life. The children
are well and strong.

THEY CAUGHT THE BEAR

Our British cousins are having as
much trouble and ferment with what
they call their "budget"--their gov
ernmental receipts-as our country is
having with the liquor question AMI
the tariff. In fact they seem to be
all torn up about It. The chancellor
of the exchequer, Lloyd George, faced
a deficit of SSOOOO,O 900, largely occas-
toned by the financing OF a dozen
new battleships 1t appears that this
program was insisted upon by the
aristocrats and men OF wealth who
are chiefly Conservatives or Tories.
This party is now out of power but
the members thereof did a large share
OF the clamoring and the program for
the additional Dreadnoughts was in
augurated. That made an opening
for the able and adroit manager of
the national finances and he met the
situation in turning movement that
has eclipsed all similar efforts in
modern history. Lloyd George
brought in a budget that quite took
their breath away. He proceeded
to lay every section OF the wealthy
class under contribution. He increas-
ed the inheritance or death taxes and
to prevent the transference of prop
erty before death he raised the time
to five years from one year, That
is property must have been trans.
ferred at least five years to escape
the inheritance taxes Then he
gave the income tax a hitch to swat
the rich a second time. If a man
lives in town and owns a house he
must pay a tax on 1t and il he has
a window he pays tax on it and
il he has n horseless wagon he must
give down heavily for that privilege
Higher taxes are levied on his gin
and whiskey and on the man who re-
tails them. The brewers catch the
raise and even uninhabited land is
levied on to such an extent as to
make the owners angry enough to
fight A heavy levy is made on leas-
ed properties and the hotels are soak
ed to the limit which, il the budget
carries. will necessitate a raise in
rates. The government is thus reach
ing out for share Of the rents which
have heretofore gone into the pockets
OF rich landowners.
There is some opposition on the
part of the Liberal forces as there
are some men OF wealth amongst
them and the Irish are opposed to the
heavy increase of the liquor taxes
But Lloyd George is a man of nerve
and he sits on the throttle of public
opinion and lets the kickers kick.
The wealthy people wanted the
Dreadnoughts, now let them pay the
bin. Why not? The chancellor
seems TO have the best OF the argu
ment and these Tories are for once
beaten at their own game 1t is be-
lieved il this bill goes through that
considerable American travel will be
driven away from London on account
OF Increased cost OF living. Anyhow
this bin has precipitated a heated
discussion both in Great Britain and
Ireland and it is probably more in
tense than anything in our own
country except the clashes engender-
ed locally by the problem OF the re.
tail sale of intoxicants.
We call attention TO 1t because it
Is unique in the history of legisIa-
tion so far as our reading extends.
We don't remember of a class OF
people calling for something so Justify
having been saddled with the expense
thereof so promptly.

INSURANCE LONG Ill FORCE
First Introduced When Sea Voyages
Were Accompanied ~ Many
Per!lS.

The practice Of insurfng originated
from marine insurance, for merchants
sending goods by sea in early times
usually accompanied the ship them
selves, and were liable to capture by
Moorish or Turkish pirates With a
view to providing the necessary ran
som to secure their release it became
customary before embarking to pay
an agreed premium to certain indivi-
duals called underwriters who were
willing to guarantee payment of the
ransom in the event of the merchant
being captured. From this beginning
the practice was gradually extended
to insurng the lives, first of mariners
and then of other persons.
In 1874 Queen Elizabeth granted
patent to Richard Chandler under
which he established q Chamber of
Insurance in London with the object
of regulating all contracts OF insur-
ance, but this Chamber, with prob
ably all its records, was destroyed by
the great fire OF 1866. The earliest
recorded life policy was issued in June
IS, 1888, and provided that if a GER
tain William GIBBONS, shall die with
in II months the underwriters would
pay G3S3 IS. Sd, the premium being

Natives of Dutch East Indies Have

CT Brute Creation.

THE natives Of the island of Bali

Superstitions about animals" says a
writer in the Wide World Magazine.
Dogs, for instance. are never de-
stroyed. and, much to the annoyance
Of the European residents, the pariahs
are allowed to increase to an unliu3-
tied extent. According to Balinese
ideas, dogs are the reincarnation OF
those of their poorer brethren who
were buried after death instead of be-
ing cremated, which is the more luXu-
rious method Of getting rid of the
dead. TO kill q dog, therefore, is as
great sin as killing a poor fellow
creature. With regard to the tiger,
the natives believe that that animal
is also the reincarnation of another
caste of the community, and nothing
will induce them to shoot it,
They tell, with great impressive
ness, the story Of an CID Baiinese man
who once came face to face with a
ster fixedly he addressed it as follows:
What have | done to thee that thou
lOOkest so ferOciOusly at me? Have
ever done thee any harm: and art
thou not my brother clad in the skin
OF a tiger? | pray thee so thy way
in peace, and leave me alone Where
upon it is said. the tiger turned tail
and walked away majesticaliy into
