Human Life for February.

Unusual interest attaches to the
February issue of Human Life on &C
count of three remarkable articles
dealing with vital issues in American
civil life. The first is the story Of
Charles S. Whitman, the new District
Attorney for New York, and the mas
terly manner in which, in the past, he
has beaten Tammany at its own game
the second relates to Edwin I. Earl,
a millionaire wielder of the "big stick,
and his wonderful battle against the
gang of boodlers that dominated the
city of Los Angeles; and last, but far
from least of the trio is the third in
stalment of Alfred Henry Lewis's IA
nous series, Travelling with Taft y
with its amazing revelations of the
robber interests" that are growing
fatter and more arrogant than ever
under the paternal wing ofthe Payne
Aldrich tariff.

The whole value Of history, of biog-
raphy, is to increase my self trust by
demonstrating what man can be and
do This is the moral of the Plutarchs,
the Cudworths, the Tennemanns, who
give us the story Of men or of opin-
ions. Any history of philosophy forti-
fies my faith by showing me that what
high doGmas l had supposed were the
rare and late fruit of a cumulative
culture and only now possible to some
recent Kant or Fichte were the
prompt improvisations Of the earliest
inquirers-Of Parmenides, Heraclitus
and XenOphanes.
In view of these students the soul
seems to whisper: There is a better
way than this indolent learning of an
other. Leave me alone. Do not teach
me out of Leibnitz or Schelling, and 1
shall find 1t all out myself"
Still more do we owe to biography
the fertilization of our hope. If you
would know the power Of character
see how much you would impoverish
the world if you could make clean out
Of history the lives Of Milton, Shake
speare and Plato, these three, and
cause them not to be. See you not how
much less the power Of man would be-

She controlled her sorrow very well,
however, until the actual moment of
parting came, and then she wept as
though her heart would break. The
cruiser was to leave the navy yard
early next morning, aud the lieutenant
had gone to report for duty.
In the midst of her lamentations the
young wife heard a shifting and sob

"Jim sent for me-" she said simply.

"Yes; at least he is charged with

catching at the legal term that sound

witness who could clear him of the
charge. Pat you-what are you-what

faltered.
Then, recovering his composure, he
told her what the charge was, stating
substantially what he had been in
formed by the chief.
Suddenly Jim pushed forward, ex-
citedly luterrupting. "You mustn't
mind my buttin' in," he begged. "I'm
goin' to tell you all jes' how 1t all wuz.

Of irritation.
81 DO" Jim replied doggedly. ANY
ways till my witness comes"
Ford turned to the unfinished work
at his desk, but his thoughts refused
to dwell there. In spite of himself his
mind reverted to events of the past
two years, with all Of which Jim was
so intimately associated. He recalled
| the pathetic circumstances that brought
the ragged. poverty cursed boy into
his life and into that of another. The
death of Jim's parents, his legacy OF
abiect poverty, the unselfish determi-
| nation of Miss Talbot. the teacher Of
the little west end school, to care for
| him instead Of sending him away to
an orphanage; the alternate care Jim
involved and the amusement he af-
forded. the friendship and the more
than friendship Ford entertained for
the lovable teacher, her final consent
! to let him share the burden Of the
boys support, the happy days that fol-
| lowed, the fond dreams Of the future
and then the abrupt ending Of it all.
All these things flashed through Ills
mind and smote him with a pang OF
regret.
A wave of pity for the boy swept
over him. Could Jim, good, faithful
boy that he had been-could he do such
a thing as that? And then that trace
of cynicism that had of late crept into
Ford's mind began to assert itself.
"Heredity and crime are closely bound
together" he thought to himself. This
boys father may have been a crimi
nal. Nobody knew anything about
him. He wandered here, shiftless
without energy. died, and in all proba
bility left to the boy no heritage save

SYMMETRICAL MANHOOD"
SUBJECT OF LECTURE

Symmetrical Manhood" was the sub
jcct OF n lecture delivered by DR.. Thomas
Nicholson. secretary Of the general board
OF education OF the Methodist Episcopal
church In the First Methodist Episcopal
church In this city, Thursday evening
There was large and Interested audi
ence present. and DR.. Nicholson treated
his subject in a most interesting manner
The principal theme OF the theologian's
address was the cultivation OF morality
In manhood and womanhood. The prob
lem OF today. he contended, was not q
physical financial or commercial one,
but a moral problem. What was needed
was II higher education in the moral
problems that confront, not alone this
nation. but also all nations: higher
ideals, and a greater. higher and purer
conception of citizenship. The lecturer
argued that he did not care how much
mineral. or wheat. or fruit, was export
ed from commonwealth; what counted
In the end was the pure. noble, idealis-
tic citlzenry of a state or nation.
DR., Nicholson was frequently applaud
ed by his audience.
