gun, two PAGES, three PAGES, ten per-
haps, before a great cock-grouse blum
dered up from the brake and burst
through the thicket fringe toward the
deeper growth. There was a fash and
puff from my gun, a crash of echoes
among the low wooded cliffs, and
through the faint veil of smoke some
thing dark dropped from mid-air amid
a cloud of feathers, brown as the
brown leaves under foot.
'Fetch!"
Up from the ground sprang Voyou,
and in q moment he came galloping

a mass of mottled bronzed feathers.

silky ears across his paws, his muzzle

that the symmetry Of tree and lawn

of natures accidents. I had never be-
foreseen this glade nor had I ever
heard it spoken of by either Pierpont

mond clear basin, regular and grace

of crimson cardinal-fowers glowed, or
where one long dusty sunbeam tipped

pool, turning them to palest gilt.

the dim avenues of trees like jets of

A gilded fly alighted on my hand-a

first time noticed what wonderfully
beautiful spot | had chosen for a
nap. 1t was an oval glade in the
heart of the forest, level and carpeted
with green grass. The trees that sur
rounded it were gigantic; they formed
one towering circular wall of verdure,
blotting out all except the turquoise
blue of the sky-oval above. And now

that the color had fled from her

hands over her eyes as if to shut

hands, she sat down on long square

Easy Road to Fame.


At this season of the year, "introduc-
ing a bill' is the shortest of all roads
to fame, declares the Boston Trans
cript. Any member of a lawmaking
writing materials at hand may do this.
For some reason the reading public
takes the act with tremendous serious
ness. 1t is not uncommon to hear that
they are going to do so and so in
Washington, or in the legislature, and
on investigation it turns out that the
indefinite they are" merely means
that some one man has introduced a
bill to make the change in question.
This is a very long distance from
legislative enactment. The bills that
session will run up into thousands;
the number involving important
changes that will be actually passed
Is decidedly small, particularly in the
congress of the United States. How
easy it is to introduce a bill was illus
trated by an experience of Senator
Blair At the request of a constituent,
with whom he had but slight acquaint-
ance, and in the closing hours of ses-
sion of congress, he introduced, with
out reading, a bill which, as it proved,
would attempt to divert the Gulf
stream, by some engineering feat, so
that it would warm up Labrador and
incidentally the regions to the north
commonly referred to as the bill for
heating the north pole" Many of the
bills introduced this winter are quite
as far removed from the statute books
as was that famous measure. Labra-
dor is still cold.

Can the ethically right be economi-
cally wrong? Could any indictment of
our present competitive system be
more terrible than the following: ut
is necessary to realize in the world of
business, as in the battlefield, world
outside the direct control of the
Christian ethic." We should be CRATE
full for this frank utterance by Mr..
Masterman. 1t is simply in line with
Mr.. II. II. Rogers when he said, "Busi-
ness is war" We need not quote the
well-known words of Gen. Sherman re-
garding war. Men are beginning to
understand the anti-social, anti-reli-
gious, anti-ethical nature of capitalism
and its destructive power over the
worker. writes Rev. George r. Lunn
in the Homiletic Review. The condem-
nation of capitalism, however, is not
the equivalent of condemning capital
lists in toto. They are victims of a
system which we have outgrown and
ought, in the interest our Christian
faith, to abolish.

Finally, after years of suffering, we
read of Postum and the harmfulness
of coffee, and believing that to grow
we should give some attention to new
ideas, we decided to test Postum.
when we made it right we liked it
and were relieved of ills caused by
coffee. Our friends noticed the change
-fresher skin, steadier nerves, better
temper, etc.
These changes were not sudden.
but relief increased as we continued to
drink and enjoy Postum, and we lost
the desire for coffee.
