Government by part of the people

Government by the whole people is the

One time when Mary Anderson was
playing In 1.-THE Winters Tale" in
Dublin, William Black. the novelist.
who was very intimate with Miss An
derson and her family. insisted upon
assuming the part of one of the supers,
who was dressed as very old man
with venerable beard and locks that
fell upon his shoulders. When Black
went upon the stage in this disguise
he walked about among his fellow
supers with unceasing restlessness
and. judging by the wild motions of his
arms, seemed to be addressing to each
in turn an impassioned harangue. The
audience began to wonder who the
new actor was and what on earth he
was doing in play in which neither
Shakespeare nor the stage managers
ever intended him to appear.
Presently came the time when 1t
was the business Of Perdita to distrib-
ute flowers among the peasants, among
whom Black had his place. Miss An
derson, carrying on the practical jokes
Of the family circle. had prepared
surprise for this moment, and. having
distributed flowers among the less IA
vored supers, she handed to Black
large cake crowned with wreath of
laurel saying as she did so. "You take
it." in allusion to his triumphs In the
contest of wits at the supper table.
To her CONSERVATION, Black showed
that he was quite prepared to carry
out the jest. for. taking the cake from
the hands Of Perdita, he Immediately
distributed it in substantial portions to

HIS SECRET.
How a Bank Clerk Eventually
Became a Director.
BY JOHN JONES.

ciationl
The lot Of younger son in England
is usually hard one because the boys
are brought up in affiuence only to be
turned out with pittance when they
come of age.
Clarence Meldron was one of these
younger sons, and at the age of nine
teen position on a high stool in the
Bank of England was obtained for
him. There has never been the chance
for young man in England to rise as
In this country, and when Meldron en-
tered the bank to begin life Of drudg-
cry he felt like one on whom the doors
Of Jail had closed. What especially
filed him with melancholy was that
he loved the daughter of a baronet
whom her family considered sufficient
ly attractive to marry the frstborn
of duke. And so she was. Lady
Emily Twiss was extremely pretty, ex-
tremely kind, extremely bright. In
deed, she possessed every feature to
recommend her as wife.
Young Meldron had been in the en-
ploy of the bank two years with a
few pounds year increase in his sal
airy when he received a note from
Lady Emily bidding him a sad fare
well. The Marquis of Stanforth had
proposed for her hand, and there was
no choice for her but to accept him.
On receipt of Lady Emily's note Mel
dron suffered that agony which only
young lover knows who sees the
girl he worships pass to another man.
Before leaving the bank that after
noon Meldron was notified that he was
to deliver box Of papers from the
strong room of the bank the same even

At the appointed time the young clerk
went to the bank, got the box and

Elephants Love For Finery.

Strange as it may seem, the elephant
Is passionately fond of finery and de
lights to see himself decked out with
gorgeous trappings. The native princes
Of India are very particular in choos-
ing their state elephants and will give
fabulous sums for an animal that ex-
actly meets the somewhat fanciful
standards they have erected. For these
they have made cloths Of silk so heavi-
ly embroidered with gold that two men
are hardly able to lift them.-Pearson's

Discussed Hands Away. Bad.

"Here is a truth" says handwrit-

the ether: A disguised hand always
tries to be poorer than the real hand.
That axiom is great help to us ex-
perts. For instance, when a letter
done in a disguised hand is brought to
us we always know that the writer OF
the letter is in a higher station thar

in our detective work we are able to
save much valuable time by eliminat-

Doctrines of Men.

All doctrines which cannot show a
foundation and full authority in the
teaching of Jesus and the Apostles and
Prophets, are doctrines of men. The
teachings from above come to- us
through heaven-appointed channels.
The jargon which prevails in Christen-
dom in respect to Christian doctrines
proves that they are of human origin.
The Scriptures alone furnish to us
The Doctrines of Christ.
Briefly stated they declare, ITO us
there is one God, the Father. and one
Lord, Jesus Christi q Corinthians viii,
81. To us here is one Holy Spirit; to
US there is lone Church of the Living
God, whose names are written in
heaven" to us there is zone Lord and
one faith and one baptism; one God
and Father of all'' (Ephesians iv, 4-6).
However impossible these statements
may have appeared during the dark
ages. they are no longer so. The light Of
Divine Truth is now shining. God has
not only put into our possession won
derful Bibles, and wonderful helps for
Bible-Study but has also given us the
ability to read, to study the Word crit
icaliy. And he is pleased now to as
sure US through the prophet that we
are living in the time when "the wise
shall understand" the mystery hid
den from past ages and dispensations,"
which could not be understood previ-
Ously without working an interference
with Gods eternal purposes.
What, then, dear FRIENDS. shall we
do? Shall we float on ingloriously.
daily, hourly coming closer and closer
to the great cataclysm which is swal-
lowing up so many now in infidelity,
called HigherCriticism? Or shall we
accept Gods Helping Hand, the doc
trines of Christ, and know the Truth
and be made free from the error and
be brought into fellowship with our
Redeemer on the highest plane? Let
us, as the wise virgins" of our Lords
parable. wa1e from sleep and trim our
lamps, and, in the light thereof, see
Gods wonderful riches of glory as
they stand revealed on the threshold
