not the Overwhelming importsn that
they possess in America. Much less of

While the sale of titles and orders is
not conducted in England in such a
barefaced manner as obtains In some
European countries, it undou BITE dly
exists. The presence of several large
brew ers in the House of Lords tempts
unkindly souls to refer to that noble
body as the beerage. But granting the
existence of this traffic, 1t is obvious
that man who has been made peer
in return for campaign contributions is
by no means so dangerous to the COM
mOnwealth as man who has contrib
uted to party funds without any return
appearing on the surface. In the
House of Lords, it is almost impossible
to acquire power or reputation. Such
great statesmen as have ruled their
party or welded influence from the up
per chamber, have either graduated
from the lower House or served long
apprenticeship in diplomacy or the ad
ministration of dependencies.
The e,hoes of colonial politics are
very indistinctly heard in London. The
great nations, Canada, South Africa anC
Australia are for all practical purposes
independent of the home government
which, however, rules India, Egypt
and the lessyr dependencies with a roc

The talk of an Anglo American al

 Well, this beats the devil" said the departed.

It is the wish of every pat riotic parent that his child shall stand in the front ranks of the business world. To these results the teacher, the parent and the child must work to gather. Open nut iny with the school means intolerance to the child to at tain this high standing. There should be close unity.

If your child is not doing well in school 1t is your duty to see the teacher and help her to devise plans which will remedy the evil. Don't Don't pour out your wrath on the teacher at the supper table ill the pre- sence of the children. It only means that your child ren will reap what you SOW for them.

American tourists in Eur ope, if they mention the small standing army of the United States to a German, Austrian, French or Italian officer, will meet with the reply, "You have very small army, it is true, but a very large pension list, and your pension list is more expensive thanany army in Europe. It is 45 years since the war ended, and yet the cost of 1t climbs steadily. In 1870 the government paid to pensioners s27,7So,SI1; i'll 1880, s57,24o,54o; in 1890, s1o6,493,89o; in 1900, S13o,- 3SI,522, and in 1909, SI6I,- 973,7o3."
 President Grant and Presi- dent Garfield were both in favor of reducing the pension appropriations. President Grant in a message to Con- gress, held that thirty millions was too much. When Gar field was in Congress a nd chairman of the appropriation committee, he apologized for a thirty million appropriation bill and pledged that 1t would not reach that amount again. Then the pension arrears bill was brought in by a subse- quent Congress, and thus the appropriation has been in creased from less than thirty millions i'll 1870 to I62 mil lion i'll round numbers in 1909, forty-fve years after the last gun of the Civil War was fired.

Some wears ago a Washin!

Some years ago a Washing ton journalist read in a paper a statement to effect that the last widow of the war of 1872 had died. He went to the pension office in order to get matter for a good story for his paper. When he explained his object to the Commission CT of Pensions, he was told that instead of there being but one widow of the war of the war of 1872, there were some 500, and that there were still four widows of the Revol- utionary War receiving pen sions. He called a clerk to verify his statements and was told that few weeks previous ly an application had come from a widow of the war of 1872 for a pension. On ex- am'ning the case he found a very well-preserved woman on the sunny side of forty. She had married a veteran nearly eighty years old. In another case a very old soldier married girl of seventeen and died after fourteen days of married life. She has been drawing. a pension for thirty years and is not an old woman yet. She has already collected nearly S3,ooo consequent on her fourteen days of married life. There is no country in the world that so prodigally

The upheaval which took place in the House of Repre- sentatives last week will fur nish matter for reflection for the lion hunter who is just emerging from the dark conti- nent. He and Uncle Joe, If rumor is correct, were never more than politely tolerant of each other. The younger man and the veteran are both astute politicians, but of diff ferent types. They were alike in at least one particular, each was determined to have his way. It is not expected that the ex-President will shed tears over the situation in the house.

 Whereupon Harry frightened his hold on his aunt's hand encouragingly.
 Don't be afraid of the oxen, auntie," said he. They won't hurt us. The first time came down here I was afraid of them. I didn't dare to go back of them, and I didn't dare to go in front of them. But I thought of way at last-I simply crawled un- der them. ."-Harper's Weekly.
