Straw is brittle that it is frequently referred in figures speech a a symbol of weakness. When man loves another man almost much as she does her husband the chances that she will soon be loving him

holy light and the consciousness of the
deepest realization Of life. Then came
strong mothers Of youth, leading hap

a sense Of power. buOyant with hope

Solons In an Uproar,

Some years ago the Spanish cabinet
decided to take legal proceedings
who were suspected of misusing pub
lie money. The opposition resolved
at all costs to prevent this, and for
forty hours on end they kept up most
amazing uproar. They cheered and
shouted, and sang litanies in chorus.
The effect OF the latter performance
was extraordinary. One deputy would
loudly intone a verse. all his friends
chanted the response. and so they went
on for nearly two days and nights un-
til truce was proclaimed.-Pearson's
