IN BANCROFT.S DAY.
The count referred 10 the days whe
the United States was represented in
Berlin by George Bancroft. whose at
titude, continued the speaker, as
sured him a cordial acceptance in Ber-
lin. He was received into the inner
circles of scholarly, social and politi-
cal life, and formed habits of friend
ship with Bismarck and MOltke The
political situation in Europe was such
that Bancroft regarded the Unitarian
tendencies in both countries as CORE
lating." He then quoted Bancroft as
declaring: But for the triumph of the
Union in America, it could never have
succeeded in Germany" Noltke was
quoted to show the friendship between
the Germans and Americans The
count then recalled a dinner given by
Bancroft in Berlin the day OF the in
auguration of President Grant Bis
marck was among the guests" related
the ambassador, and held a short
speech. After referring TO the times
of Frederick the Great, Bismarck con-
tinued: AS to the subsequent rela-
tons between the two countries. ii
gives me the greatest pleasure TO be
able to state as a fact not only from
my personal experience as a minister
of Prussia, but from the archives of its
history, that the cordial understand
ing, so happily inaugurated by Wash
ington and Frederick, has never suf-
fered even the slightest jar. Not only
mas no difference ever arisen between
the two countries, but nothing has
ever occurred between them which SO
much as called for an explanation "
After this quotation from Bismarck,
Count Bernstorff concluded with the
hope that this bond Of friendship
would remain unbroken.

the Germans saved Missouri for the
union. Germany" he continued,
gave not only her sympathy. but her
gold in defense of the Union. and the
purchase of United States bonds in
the German financial centers contrib
uted very largely toward sustaining
the union"
CONFLICT INEVITABLE.
Again referring TO Lincolns cour-
age when war drew near. the speaker
said:
He did not indulge in the delusion
that the Union could be maintained
or restored without a conflict of arms.
Although he abhorred war for any
purpose, the firmness Of his moral
courage enabled him TO take the great
responsibility Of leading the nation
into a war for union and for freedom
and through weary years of alternat.
ing success ard disaster. He did not
waver for a moment when many anti
coercion meetings were held and a
cry for peace at any price arose on all
sides"
Applying this thought to the pres,
ent day the ambassador declared:
In our day there is a strong peace
movement sweeping over all countries
and who will deny that it seems a
beautiful idea to save the world for.
ever from the mighty scourge Of war
On the other hand We must no, forget
that peace should never be bought al
the price Of sacrificing our ideals
There is always a danger that We
might regard material prosperity as
our chief aim and object Every mar
should be ready 10 give his life for
something beyond his selfish inter
ests."

1t was only a short time after Lulu
Mcstubbins was married that the
stratling truth was forced upon her,
that her young husband was not ex-
actly teetotaller One evening few
weeks after the wedding that strict
cold water crank, Papa McStubbins,
dropped in to call. He found his
daughter all alone. After while he
asked:
"Where is Christopher"
"Well, the fact is, Christopher isn't
feeling very we'll this evening"

"And to be near is to be close, isn't
it?"

SITTING IN JUDGMENT.
People Think it Would Be Easy to Do
the Other Fellows Work.

How easy it is to map out the lives
of others for them, with the scale of
distance and the points of the COM
pass clearly indicated! How simple,
to point out when they have wandered
inextricably from the directions of the
chart, the other better way we would
have taken in their shoes! The busi-
ness of other people would be pros
porous in our minding. We would
have avoided by our astuteness, that
abject and crying failure. We know
just the short cut to take-or else the
suitable, tactful,. roundabout way; We
were aware of the psychological mo-
ment and the striking hour; We could
have advised the sapient plan, the
forethoughtful method; we could have
divided infallibly tie right thing to
do and the right effectual fashion of
doing it. With the whole record Of
another's life spread out before US,
albeit in an almost illegible scrawl, it
is no hard task to point out the
abounding errors in grammar and in
spelling. In the fair copy we would
have made, the orthography would
have been faultless. The firm-handed
transcription would have mirrored
life at peace with itself, moving from
strength to strength, making few
errors and those excusable. We look
first on the picture of the wreck that
is due to piteiabl mishandling, then
we contemplate with satisfaction our
own contrasting mental vision of shin
ing success and luminous victory. If
we only had their chances, what would
we not do with themi Isn't it pity to
see them spendthrifts Of their golden
opportunities. With all they do or
say or think We are at variance. At
the risk of giving pain, we must dis
