Senator Beveridge in one of his many eloquent Independence day addresses compared the critics of America to an admirer of the poet Whittier.
 These critics" be said. "fail to bring the necessary sympathy and knowledge over with them, and hence they are unsatIsfactory-like the Whit. tier pilgrim.
 Pilgrims used to visit Whittier con- tinually. A typical one came from Missouri. Though told that Whittier had a headache. he forced his way into the poets study, where he de clared, that be adored all Whlttier's works, which he knew almost by heart. He asked Whittier to write his name several hundred times on large sheet of foolscap, so that he could cut out and distribute the auto graphs among his Missouri friends fin fact. 1t was all the poet could do to keep the enthusiastic Missourian from clipping all the buttons from his coat as souvenirs

 "The theOlogian of today is ac, Quainted, as theOlogians of former days were not, with the reality and vitality of the nOn.Christian religion and in the investigation of the old Testament religion it has been found that many of the clements were derh' ed from Israers contact with Babylon.

Heart Disease and Sudden Death.

Heart Disease and Sudden Death.
A man rushing to catch train the
other day fell dead. In this instance
It Is fair to assume that the strain on
weak heart might fairly be held re-
sponsfble. In view Of the fierce COM
petition in life and the undue strain to
which the masses of men are subjected
1t is of the highest Importance that
people known to be affected with heart
disease should exercise the greatest
care as to overtaxing their physical
strength in view Of the danger Of sud-
den death, instances Of which are so
common today. Inasmuch as few peo-
pie are aware Of having weak hearts,
safe rule for all men over forty is to
avoid the perils Of haste and undue
strain, as in lifting, rushing, etc. An
other important factor, many people
over forty indulging in excessive eat
ing are in danger Of arterio-sclerosis,
or hardening Of the arteries, which re-
suits In sudden death from apoplexy,
kidney or heart disease. To sum the
matter up, people over forty must linz
It their table indulgence and avoid
sudden and undue haste or strain If de-
s1rous Of attaining ripe old age

Made tho Most Of His Hats.

+ When Lord Miner held his first re-
ception at Pretoria the officers and
legislators were given to understand
that frock coats and tall hats were ex-
pected Of them. There was only one
shop in the place in which silk hats
were sold, and this had but four Of
them. The Transvaal legislators rush
ed off In body to buy these four, but
the halter, not being mad, saw his
opportunity in their extremity. He
knew there was no time to get hats
from anywhere else, so he resolved not
to sell. He offered to let them out on
hire at the rate of 10 shillings for ten
minutes. His shop was close at hand.
-Four gentlemen could present them
selves before his excellency. After ten
minutes they must silently steal away
and hand over their hired finery to an
other painting quartet. It was done,
and the halter still repeats dream1ly as
he recalls the moment Of his life, 1T
would not have been fair to have sold
them, not fair to my customers and
not fair to myself."-Pan Mall Ga
