All the stories now arriving from
Cambo, where the family of Edmond
Rostand is sojourning; have the char
acter of the heroic legend. The fam
lily of Rostand, now more united than
ever, was to attend a cinematograph
performance at Cambo. At nine
o'clock in. the evening the hall had
long been filled with people, but the
show did not begin. The audience be-
gan to exhibit strong signs of impa-
tience. The proprietor came to the
front and announced that the Rostands
having retained three places, the show
could not decently begin before their
arrival. The audience was of quite
different mind. 1t took the announce
ment in bad temper, and some mo-
ments later when the illustrious tardy
ones came in, making a sensational en-
try, they were received with mur-
murs and with exclamations far from
complimentary. Nine. Rostand frown-
ed, but Maurice Rostand called
the proprietor, and giving. him fist
full of louis, said: Fill the jaws of
these fellows with champagne" This
was done. The entire audience drank
excellent champagne. The murmurs
Of disapprobation died away and the
family received a warm ovation.-Le

TO MAN OF WEALTH..
Plain Old countrywoman Had Poe
sessed Something Greater Than
the Riches He had Spent His
Life In Gathering.

John Hull found the telegram at his
office. AS he read the words, the
busy scene about him faded away, and
he saw himself once more little,
ragged. frightened boy, who heard
with terror the word "poorhouse"
whispered by the neighbors. Then
Aunt Rachel had come in. She had
stood a moment looking at his moth
er's still face; then she had crossed
the room and gathered the boy into
her arms. "He isn't going to the
poorhouse," she had said, quietly. II
am going to take care of him"
1t was an odd "caretaking" in some
ways. Aunt Rachel was an old maid,
and knew nothing of a boys heart.
And yet-how good she had been
how good and patient! In the last ten
years, although he had seen her only
twice, there had been no word of re-
ploach, only the same unchanging
love and faith. A blur came over
John Hull's eyes, and calling his sec
retary. he gave rapid orders. He was
going to Aunt Rachel. He hoped she
would know.
Nine hours later he was alone with
Aunt Rachel. AS he looked at the
great peace Of the small, worn face, a
strange feeling swept across him. He
never saw a look like that in Wall
street! This little, plain, old country
woman had possessed something
greater than riches!
Later, they brought him her papers
and letters. They were very few, but
among them were her account books,
and John Hull realized that in those
careful figures he was reading the
story of her life. He was amazed
to know how tiny her income had
been. And of what she bad had. .
tenth had gone to her church, a fifth
to her missionary society, and nearly
all the rest for a boy who was not
even related to her.
And he had thought her life pitifully
poor and narrow! Now in his hour of
vision he saw that his was the poor
and barren life-with its careless and
spasmodic giving, its absorption in
"the game" He understood at last
the generous and unselfish investment
Of this life and all it's possessions. And
suddenly there came to him the men,
ory of a hot summer Sunday of his
boyhood. and of the minister's voice
as he read his text: "Well done, thou
good and faithful servant: thou hast
been faithful over few things, will
make thee ruler over many things"
Could that be said of tho uses ho
had made of his own life?
Alone in the April night John Hull
faced himself.-Youth's Companion.

Chairman Hilles, and many replies

choice of a candidate.

THE RESULT IN CUBA.

1t mattered nothing to the United
States whether General Menocal or
Mr.. Zayas was elected President of
Cuba So far as we know, both are
fit, in character and ability, TO fill the
office TO the satisfaction of foreign ma
lions and particularly Of this nation,
which has special relations with the
insular republic. Either, that is to
say, would realize the ideal which was
expressed at the time of our interven-
ton in 1898 as the object of that act,
"to establish stable government
capable Of maintaining order and OBJ
Serving its international obligations,
"insuring peace and tranquility and
"the security of its citizens as well as
"our own" The United States asks
nothing more than that and could be
satisfied with nothing less. Whether
General Menocal or Mr.. Zayas would
serve the purely internal and domestic
interests of Cuba the better was Il
question for the Cubans themselves to
decide, with which we had nothing
TO do.
But It did matter greatly 10 the
United States that a President should
be chosen in Cuba in a constitutional
manner and without breach of the
peace. If there were apprehensions
here that such would not be the case
they were not gratuitOus or unwar-

THE FALLACY.

The fallacy of Colonel Roosevelts
attitude toward the judiciary was
brought out with startling clearness in
his own speech in Madison Square
Garden on Friday evening. After Sc
verely criticising several decisions OF
the state Court of Appeals he said
Now, Of course, friends. here again
have no doubt those judges decided
with the absolute purpose to do justice,
as they saw justice. The trouble was
that they knew the law, but didn't
know right.
Under every known political system
rights are made by the law. Society
expresses its view Of what is right by
establishing laws, and those laws must
govern in the administration Of JUS
tice as against any idea Of right not
vet formulated into law. That is the
rule Of all human progress, ana only
anarchy can result in community in
which a citizen or a judge is allowed
to set up his own personal notion OF
right as superior to codes and statutes.
Judges are elected for the sole pur-
pose of interpreting according to set
tied legal principles and enforcing
laws made by the people for their own
government 1t is not the fault OF the
iudee il the Law is defective. The
fault lies with the voters, who can
change il, and who can also amend
constitution if that instrument has i'm
posed q limitation on legislation Of
particular sort. 1t is paradoxical to
criticise a Judge for making certain
decision and to admit in the same
breath that he knew the law and in
terpreted it with technical correctness.
That is exactly what a judge ought
10 be commended for doing He Is not
chosen to bend the law so as to make
il accord with his own personal view
or the personal view Of any citizen or
body of citizens.
It was probably Colonel Roosevelts
purpose TO excite prejudice against
Judges who respect the law instead OF
overriding it in accordance with their
private opinions. But that purpose
must defeat itself, for on sober second
thought nearly every citizen will agree
that ii is far better to have the law
interpreted with fidelity and exacu-
tude than to have it wrested from It's
true meaning in order TO further some
end of social justice which can be at
tanned and ought to be attained
through political action.
