THE INCIDENTAL MORALS OF
MR.. LOCKE.


One doesn't look for a moral in the
tales of William J. Locke and. in
deed, Mr.. Locke makes no pretense
OF writing with a purpose; yet,
sometimes the moral is there. Just
as we find the moral in the lives
around us-to be gathered from the
context. II We have the vision. and
according to our lights, but only in
Icidental and not a necessary condi-
ton. There is no mawkishness about
Mr.. Locke's writings. In fact, his
vein of satire inclines him to take
liberties with propriety: but in
"Simon. the Jester" he has pointed
a moral barbed with superhumar
, satire. II is the story of man Of
the world. socially among the elect
politically with a future. financially
independent; but stricken with a
fatal malady. He gives up politics
and devotes HIS last days to the
qualification OF whimsical humor
for making people happy. He be-
stows his money lavishly. pauper-
izing himself; ne undertakes the
delicate mission OF breaking OF an
undesirable match between a young
friend of his and a beautiful animal
trainer, only to temporarily wreck
his young friends political career.
to earn the ingratitude OF the
youths mother. to fall desperately
in love with the woman himself, and

outcast, politically a discard. and
lpenniless.
Only his humor did not desert
him. and he gave up playing deputy
providence" as he called It, and sur
rendered himself to be the sport Of
fate. He tried Journalism, but II
palled on him, and the woman went
to the continent to DISPLAY her per-
forming animals rather than marry
him fearing to ruin his prospects
He followed her, and one OF the ami
mails tore out her eye and marred
her beauty. But Simon, who in the
meantime had Interested himself in
slum mission work, married her. and
together they took up the work.
Here is a humorous picture Of
Providence bending and breaking a
man TO its purpose; making a mess
of his wilfull plans for the benefit OF
his fellowmen; rubbing the cher
ished beauty from a woman's cheek:
taking away from her petted
favorlte the toys that amuse him.
the wealth that separates him from
his work. the social life that hedges
in his view, crushing in him the
self-asserting force that makes in
herent gifts brilliant, but unavailng.
and placing him properly before his
duty. The human will is stubborn
thing. and Mr.. Locke in his laugh
ing way has presented one aspect Of
life as 1t seldom has been presented
before.

no reason why Mr.. Hannah should
vacate the chair until after the trial
and the charges found true. Mr..
Hannah was willing TO yacate the
chair. but he was assured that IL
was agreeable for him 10 preside
over the session. Mr.. Campbell ex-
planned that in case of any contro-
versy that II would affect only the
vote of Mr.. Hannah.
The trial was set for tonight at a
special session OF the aldermen. MIR.
Hannah announced that he waived
all right OF notice, and was ready
for the trial last night II the alder
men desired. City Treasurer George

cute the cases before the aldermen.
