Most of us are always trying to boss
somebody else, and order the lives
of those in any way connected with
US. That's why so many of US are I'M
happy. If we'd let people alone, al
low events to take their natural
course and trust to the Lord a little
more, we'd all of US be better off.
These few remarks" are called
forth by a recent marriage in which a
dear old lady of 20 and good old gen,
tleman of II united their lives. They
love each other-I defy anybody to
prove that age isn't capable of love
and most probably warmer and more
faithful love than that of hotheaded
youth-they are we'll enough endowed
with this worlds goods to live in com
fort; neither one is doddering and
they have found through several
years of acquaintance that they are
entirely congenial
But it does seem that when parents
are not putting obstacles in the way
of their children's marriage, the chill
dren are Directing TO the re-marriagt
| of a parent In this case it is {
daughter who would like to have the
marriage annulled because, as she i:
reported to have said: Mother is toe
old to marry"
Too old? Is anybody too old t
marry, to have a companion through
ones declining years-somebody will
similar tastes, somebody intimate
and dear, who will fill a want tina
grown-up children cannot and seldom

In referring to the tension between
William II, and their heir to the Ger
man throne, the Vienna Zeit says:
Verbal communication between the
kaiser and the crown prince has al
most ceased" In varying shape diff
ferent reports of this sort have been
carried in the cable gossip of recent
times. Except in the detail of names
and dates, however, it is an old story.
1t is the divergence between the ms
and the outs, the old and the new,
the generation which is passing and
that which is coming, and which is
impatient at the delay of the present
one in making its departure. On his
mattress grave Heine made jokes
about the Unfortunately long time ip
which he was dying, but in such a

Such breaches have been the regu-

William /. for that son of his whom
we know as Frederick the Great, and
which the latter hurled back in full
measure. has been related by many of
the chroniclers of Prussian history OF
that time. There was a broad d.
vergence in sentiment between the
earliest of the monarchs of the pres
ent German Empire and his son and
successor Frederick, who reigned for
few months, and there was a still
broader difference ia temperament
and in policy between Frederick and

like absence of harmony was seen
between the kings of France in the

of Victoria and the succession of Ed

change of rulers. 1t marked transi-
