MR.. JAMES BRYCE.

Washington will be very sorry in
deed to lose Mr. James Bryce, should
he adhere to a long-cherrished desire
to retire from diplomatic life and de
vote his time in future to literary
work. 1t has been so refreshing to
have as head of the British embassy
man who is intensely human, although
profound scholar and diplomat on
a scale that has never been reduced to
inches.
1t is no wonder, then, that the do
NAL of the report that he was about
to resign his post at Washington and
return to England has been hailed
with JOY by a large section Of the con.
tinent.
Shortly after be was named Ambas-
sador succeeding Sir Mortimer Du-
rand, Mr. Bryce refused a title because
Of his essential Democracy. And
promptly he became the next friend of
every one at Washington and almost
every one in New York.
Rather short at active. with
crisp gray whiskers and a pair Of
bright eyes he threw the fine old crust

Notwithstanding all the talk about
Congressman Hughes being a friend
to the tariff on coal, the fact remains
that he voted to reduce the tariff from
siXty-seyen cents a ton to forty-fve
cents a ton If tariff is a good thing
then why did he vote to reduce it?
Another thing to his credit is his I'M
waYering vote for Cannonism. VIII

II he were found guilty she would be

The sheriff dismounted and
sighted his rifle to fifteen hun

Many a man would have been de-

find its billet.
And, more to give notice of his
approach than with any prospect
of finding his target, the sheriff
fired. The bullet kicked up a

THE FIFTH VOYAGE OF
SINBAD THE SAILOR

We set sail for my next trip
with fair wind blowing in the
riggings and a goodly cargo in the
hold. We anchored one evening
at large island. Here the men
saw lying on the beach a huge
roc's egg, and, contrary to my de-
sires, they broke the shell, pulled
out the young roc inside of it, and
roasted it.
Hardly had we finished our re-
past when we heard terrible
screams in the air and saw the
parent rocs coming near. With all
possible speed we set sail and tried
to escape, but the rocs dropped
large pieces of stone on our ships
and managed to sink them. BY
good fortune | found a timber on
which l floated all the night, and
in the morning came ashore at
beautiful land where | found plen-
ty of fruits and clear water. Along
came across an old man who
begged me to lift him across the
water for he was too weak to do
so himself. 1 gladly went to help
him and lifted him carefully to my
shoulder, bidding him Irvine his
legs around my neck for greater
security. But when we had
crossed the old man refused to
move. So all that day / had to
carry him about, and the longer
did so the stronger he seemed to
become. Every night he lay
down with me and every morning
he kicked me until l Weakened and
began carrying him about for the
day. One day l took some fruit
and squeezed the juice into an
empty gourd and drank it. 1t made
me feel better than l had for
days. Then happy thought
struck me. / filled the gourd
again and let it stand in the sun
for while. Then when it had
fermented, l offered it to the old
man, who drank it greedily. After
a little while the wine went to his
head and In few hours / was able

NEW YORK, Sept. THAT a
bachelor is, per Sc, an uncivilized
creature, is the contention of the
Rev. Anna Shaw. She holds that
marriage Is the only thing that
can avail to make the poor thing
either comfortable or civilized.
"Of course" she says, 1.-The COM
mon idea that marriage is the con-
summation of womans life more
than it is of a mans is absolutely
baseless and foolish. AS matter
of fact man needs marriage and
home more than does woman. A
woman can make a home for her.
self whether she marries or not,
and she can also keep her char
acter. A man can do neither. He
needs to be married in order to be
either comfortable or civilized. He
needs the restraints of home life
with his family to keep him
straight.
81 don't meant that naturally
and originally woman was one bit
better or purer than man. In fact
they probably were created with
stronger passions because other
wise they would not be willing to
suffer their pain But for many
centuries men have insisted ON re-
straint and control in woman,
lotherwise refusing to give them
support, so that woman has been
forced to higher plane by a CON-
'bination of heredities and environ
ments. Now they are where they
can get along better without the
refining, controlling influence oil
home and children than can the
