Walter Kitchener at Disadvantage.

Gen. Walter Kitchener, who is sta
toned at Bermuda, is a brother of
Lord Kitchener. and this fact has
worked against him rather than for
him. He is considered a clever SOL
dier in England, and at the time of
the war in South Africa 1t was
thought that he would receive an i'm
portant post that would become va
cant. He was passed over and his
brother. Lord Kitchener. was asked
for the reason. ut should have gone
to my brother" he said, but If l had
given it to him everybody would have
yelled .favoritism' at the top of their
voices, SO picked someone else"
Walter Kitchener was expected at
Cape Town at railway station once
when an old lady rushed in excitedly
and asked at what platform Lord
Kitchener was expected to arrive. No
one seemed to know anything about
his visit until it finally dawned upon
the STAFF ofiicer that she had heard of
the arrival OF his brother. He In
formed her that this was only Kitch-
ener that was expected. Il call it a
shame that this man, whoever he may
be. should be allowed to use Lord
Kitchener's name; the government

1t has been shown by experiments
that this form of structure will stand
the greatest amount of puncture from
shots before 1t collapses, and SO the
navy department is replacing the more
or less solid structures with this
grapevine arrangement.
The new mast, while rising to the
height of the topmast Of the old style,
is only about one-fifth of the weight,
averaging about 1000 pounds, as
against $4,000 pounds of most masts
of the old style. The height of the
new masts from the water to the look.
out is about 120 feet. or approximately
the same as the old ones. but the
"eye" of the ship is infinitely safer on
the top of the new masts than it was
on the top of the old wooden topmasts.
The illustration very adequately
shows the masts on the battleship
Missouri recently fitting at the
Charlestown navy yard, the foremast
being the new model and the main
mast the old.

 I'm very sorry to trouble you, madam" said the bank teller politely, ''but you'll have to be identified" He pushed the check across the marble slab toward her as he spoke.
 "Identifled?' repeated the lady; what does that mean? Isn't the check good?"
 The bank man did not smile. for this question that day.
 ''I have no doubt 1t is," he said, "but don't know you. Do you know any body in the bank?"
 'Why, I'm Mrs. Weatherlyt" exclaimed the check? See-here 1t is" The teller shook his head wearily.
 You must be identified" he insisted; you must bring somebody who knows you" The lady drew herself up.
 That check" she said with dignity, was given me by my husband. There's his name on it. Do you know him7''
 'T do," said the teller. ''but don't know you"
 Then" said the lady, "I'll show you who am. My husband is a tall man with reddish hair His face Is smooth shaven. He has a mole on one cheek and looks something like gorilla, some people say, but don't think so. When he talks he Twists his mouth to one side and one of his front teeth is missing.

THE KING GAN Do NO WRONG.
Correct Application and Significance
 of the Expression.

From the Boston Transcript.
 It is astonishing how frequently the familiar phrase, "The king can do no wrong" is misapplied. It is supposed to be the motto of an unlimited despotism
 and in some way associated with the doc Urine of the divine right of kings. Rep resentative Fowler uses the phrase Tn this sense in his recent attack on the Speaker of the House. Nothing could be further from the real meaning Of the phrase It is the symbol of system in which the sovereign reigns, but does not rule Nowhere can 1t be more f1ttingly applied than to the English government. The king can do no wrong simply be- cause 1t Is his ministers who do right or wrong and when the people are dissat- isfled with the ministers they chage them, not him. He simply expresses the will to the dominant party. During her protracted reign Queen Victoria changed parties a half score of times; not be- cause she changed her mind, but because she was the simple mouthpiece of the partv that happened to be in power. President Taft can do wrong, because his cabinet according to the theory of the constitution, are merely secretaries who follow his instructions. and carry his will into effect If they do wrong he Is re- sponsble for 1t, for he can displace them at any moment. He has absolute exec utive power only partially modified by possible senatorial action It was for attempting to exercise that undoubted constitutional right that an enraged Con- gress sought the impeachment of An drew Johnson. Fortunately. seven re- publican senators helped defeat this rev. olutionary measure. Although they were politically slaughtered, the right of the president to control his cabinet has never been seriously called in question. In England 1t Is said that the lord chancel- Tor is the Keeper of the kings consci- ence" If this had reference to his pri- vate and personal ethics there have been English monarchs who would have made his lordship's office no sinecure! But. of course, 1t only has to do with the sover- eign's political duties and responsbili- ties Happy the land in which the 'king

John Calvin.

" ENEvA, the city of his activities.
 has been celebrating the 4O0th 0 anniversary of the birth of John Calvin.
 "Why, John Calvin burned servetus at the stake, says some one. "Why should anybody make a fuss over his memory"
 Which indictment Is good. Nevertheless the hard headed theolo- gian of the reformation was considera- ble force for righteousness in his day He had great brain and will like hard ened steel
 He made people behave thmselves, even if he had to roast them. Many of them needed roasting.
 Bigoted? Intolerant?
 Yes. he was both, but he lived in the age of bigotry and intolerance, as well as superstition and wide ignorance. He lived a number of years before our fathers burned the witches in Massachusetts
 Calvin literally crushed the people of Geneva into decency to which they had been unaccustomed. He went too far In his crushing. but so did Savonarola in Florence. So did Cromwell in crushing the mobs of London.
 There Is one great redeeming feature in John Calvin
 Behind his convictions was his life
 Call him narrow-minded even cruel. You must concede he had always the courage of his convictions. It was the TO- bust intensity of his beliefs linked to the power of his life that caused him to be great.
 Most of us moderns are weak in this very thing.
 We do not more than half believe what we believe. and many of US are not quite sure that we really believe anything worth while. We believe, or affect to be- lieve, in the beliefs that are most current.
 Calvin staked his whole life on his be- liefs. Running counter to the doctrines of his time, he put himself back of his creed and powerfully compelled his world to accept his thinking. And thousands after 400 years still accept that teaching It Is easy to criticise. Persons who have no abiding faith in much of anything and who, if they did profess creed, would scarce endure the sacrifice of an hours pleasure for the sake of it point to Calvin as narrow bigot
 We'll
 The stern old Genevan certainly did lack sweetness in what MT. Arnold eulogized as the doctrine of sweetness and light. But 1t does not lie in the mouth of re- ligious mugwumps to ridicule man or power and right motive who. whatever his failings was no insipid critic A little transfusion of Calvin's stern ad- 1 herence to what he conceived as duty would greatly invigorate our blood.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1909-09-12
The Three Circles.

We live Inside of circles.
 In our thinking each of us Is accus- toned unconsciously to draw about us certain circles of which we are the cen- ter.
 For instance
 Each individual is bounded by small circle which represents the relation and duty he holds toward himself and his family.
 Then outside this narrow circle is a larger one, which stands as the limit of his relation and obligation to the commit nity in which he lives.
 And then the individual draws with a wider sweep the arc of a circle the full circumstances of which he can never know, which represents his duty and rela- ton to all men everywhere.
 And
 small, the geographical center of It Is al- ways the same-self.
 Which fact naturally trends us more or less toward selfshness. Being born in the center of all these circles and liv- ing always as the hub around which they must revolve, the tendency Is for us to live mostly in the smaller circle.
 We are prone to care only for our own, to seek for benefit of our own, to mar row our ambitions to the circumference of the little circle.
 Education must tcke us out of the nar- row into the larger circles.
 IL, besides living in the smaller world of self, we live also in the wider one of community interest, then we have wid- ened our ambitions and our sympathies and got into the field of civilized living.
 And if, besides living in these two cir cles, we also live in the great wide circle of human brotherhood we have come Into the realm of real manhood and woman hood.
 But
 Suppose we live only in the small circle of self or in the circle of community life only to exploit humanity for our own benefit, or in the wide world circle only to extort from 1t more than is our share John K. L. Baron has ftly answered these questions when he puts 1t this way:
 "To benefit self alone is greed. To ben eft self by wronging others Is crime. TO benefit mankind is glory"
 That Is 1t. To live only In the narrow
