BITS OF PHILOSOPHY.

All truth is limited, and facts are
seldom backed down.
Every thought should be the era
die in which to rock new infant.
Every wolf that yelps at the door
is coward and can easily be kicked
away.
A lot of dead ones in this world
belong elsewhere, but haven't
moved yet
If at first you don't succeed, spit
on the bait and drop the hook in
a new hole
We cannot remember anything
quite so well as the thing we
would like to forget
The errors of indiscretion pillow
burrows in the face of beauty and
the harrow of unhappiness finishes
the job.

CHINA MAY soon HAVE
4 POPULAR PARLIAMENT
Such a Step Would Mean
Great Advance in the Civil
Iization of the Empire

PEKING., Oct. SLIT is believed the
throne has decided TO accede 10 the de-
mand OF the senate and the provincial
delegates for the early convocation of
a popular parliament.
In the senate today and in the pres
,enee of the leading grand counsillors'
Prince Yu LANG. member OF the grand
council, said the entire nation from the
highest to the. lowest, has agreed upon
the necessity of the early establishment
of a general parliament. @
The senators understood this to mean
that their memorial would be granted.
/ The Importance of this concession can
scarcely be overestimated, in view of the
thrones recent refusal to entertain a
similar request made by the provincial
assemblies last June.
The program fixed by the late Empress
Dowager provided for the constitution
of a general representative legislative
body to be known as the imperial par
lament in 1915. at the end of nine-year
period of preparation. No sooner had
this plan been made known In decree
than popular agitation was begun.
