A PRACTICAL PEACE PROMOTER.
 Some weeks ago we believed we were on the verge of frightful war of our own. It was promptly averted, largely through the Presidents pacific method. There is no danger of an Amcriean-Mexiean warfare now Even though fighting may stlll continue In Mexico 1t will presently wear itself out,
 Mir. Wilson has done much to bring about this happy conclusion, He is very evidently a practical peace pro- moter.-Elizabeth (N. Y.) Times.

HIS JOB A THANKLESS 0NI
German Emperor Thinks His Efforts
Are Misunderstood by His
Subjects.

The fourth volume of the speeches
of Emperor William, delivered from
1906 to 1912, has appeared, its 1926
pages crowded with addresses and
toasts on all kinds Of subjects, sus-
tanning his reputation as the greatest
royal speechmaker of the era.
Among the most interesting and
characteristic passages in the collec-
ton is the following, says an ex-
change:

had even secretly thought Of retiring
from science to devote his life to her;
but scientist though he was he was
also human being.
Then in moment he had forgotten,
for he saw curious movement among
the animalculae in the jelly drop, and
his eye was glued to the glass again.
"a shameless self-worshiper,
Streets voice continued. "He lives for
himself alone"
No, there you do him an injustice"
Mary responded. HE lives for
science"
And, like a Moloch, 1t mandates
its victims upon its affairs. You are
the victim, Mary"
Professor Singleton sat bolt up
right in his chair. For moment he
had forgotten his researches. He
looked around him. His eye fell upon
a Malay kriss hanging upon the wall,
which friend had sent him from
Borneo. 1t was long, with a keen,
jagged edge. waved like the edge of a
bread knife. If such weapon as that
were plunged into mans heart now
The professors eye returned me-
chanically to the microscope. The
spiranthea was emerging from its
pupa. Undoubtedly this proved his
contention. The existence of winged
form among such microscopic crea-
lures would revolutionize biology. He
had proved it. A little longer-half an
hour of watching
How long will you suffer in this
way, Mary? You are fifteen years
younger than he. You have made a
CHASTITY error-but why should 1t ruin
your life?"
1t shall not" Professor Singleton
heard his wife whisper.
The professor rose noiselessly out OF
his chair. He took down the kriss
with trembling fingers. Once it was in
his hand he felt strange strength
which seemed to flow into his fingers
from the steel, into his blood, renew
ing its power. His muscles quivered
as he bent his arm. Then, holding
the weapon, he hesitated.
He seemed to realize in that mo-
ment that all his future was at stake
On the one hand was his treasured
science. If he left the microscope for
ten minutes the conditions might new
er again recur and all would be wasted

AFTER HIS FASHION
BY HAROLD CARTER.


Professor Singleton sat crouched
over his microscope. To the observer
he would have seemed to be studying
only tiny spot of jelly upon a slide.
The professor, however, was looking
into. thickly populated world. The
drop of jelly, like the world, was
round, and within it several millions
OF the spiranthea Jacksonii were put
ting on wings.
This transformation Of the spiran-
thea, which identified them with an
other species hitherto believed to be
separate, had never before been Wit
messed.
Singleton was forty-two. A rich man.
he had devoted himself for years to
his scientific investigations. OF late,
however, ever since his marriage, the
year before, to charming society girl,
who had devoted her whole care to his
welfare, he had insensibly been drawn
away from his hobby. That he had
shamefully neglected Mary did not &C.
cur to him. He lived for his research
es. Mary lived for him. She had
abandoned all her old friends, except
the Streets. George Street and she
had been great friends before her mar
riage, and surprise had been felt that
she had chosen the professor.
For two whole days and night Sin
gleton had bent over his microscope.
He had not slept; he had eaten there,
slipping beef tea and hot milk which
his wife brought him. Now at last he
was to be rewarded Spiranthea was
undoubtedly passing from the larval
into the pupal stage, and from that
into the full-ledged image. Ten gen.
erations had died while he sat there;
ten had been born, and the tenth was
accomplishing what every scientist
had denied.
Suddenly Professor Singleton heard
George Streets voice in the next room,
and Marys answering. There was
nothing strange in that, except for the
tone and the hour. The hour was mid
night; the tone low and impassioned.
IAN old man." Street was saying
Mary, you have tied yourself for life
to one who can never appreciate or
understand you. Your life Is one long
sacrifice"
Il know It," answered Mary, ever so
softly.
The professors heart was thump-
ing against his ribs. He had loved his
wife devotedly, after his fashion, he

On the other-well, he was a man

The voices seemed louder now and
shamelessly Indifferent. Professor
Singleton crept stealthily to the part.
ly opened door. The room beyond was
in darkness. His foot creaked upon
the boards, but neither seemed aware
of his presence.
II love you," he heard reiterated
through his maddened brain, and he
was standing in the room now, and
still the sounds continued. They
seemed to elude him, travelling from
corner to corner The professor lunged
forward, his outstretched hands en-
countered soft object with flying
draperfes, and with a yell he thrust
the kriss upward, turned it, and thrust
again. Then he fell senseless upon
the floor.
Norning-a culver of sunlight
voices in the room. He opened his
eyes, to find himself lying in bed in his
own house, and his wife bending over
him.
What is it? Where did you come
from?" he muttered, half unconscious.
Hush, dear!" Mary whispered.
The tragedy loomed in his mind, but
dimly, curtained off by the black un-
consciousness from which he had
emerged.
"You have been ill, DEAR" said Mary.
George Street. Where is he?" he
asked.
George? My dear, don't you re-
member that he sailed for the Philip
pines month ago-three weeks be-
fore you were taken ill?"
What did do? killed someone?"
"You were found lying upon the
floor of the living room. You had ia
ken Mr.. Humphreys kriss and dug a
hole in the armchair. You must have
lain there for hours before l came
home and found you. l thought you
were in your laboratory"
That reminded him. "The micro
scope!' he exclaimed. 81 must 60.
How long have been ILL.,"
about week, dearest"
The professor sank back groaning.
A week! Fifty generations of the
spiranthea must have been born and
died, and there would be years of pa
tient work before he could renew the
conditions which had existed before
the illusion dragged him from his
chair.
He remembered all now: Georges
departure, Mary's absence that eve
ming at neighbours house. The voices
had been born of his own conscience,
and, weakened and overstrained, he
had heard them externally. Unless
unless they had been sent by some
beneflcent power to aid and warn him.
Mary" he said later that day,
when l get well | think shall give
up my researches. Let younger men
take up the work. I have done with
them"
He saw the tears In her eyes.
I'm a selfish old beast, my DEAR"
he added. Butt think I'm putting
on wings now"
But only the professor understood.

Why He Chuckled,

The elderly stout man in the fourth
row was attentively following the pas
tors sermon.
LET us them" said the exhorter,
break the bonds of custom and throw
off the shackles of self, and acknowl-
edge our debt to life's fundamental
lessons. Let US deduct from the years
balance sheet those obligations which
we are morally bound to assume"
At this point the stout man sudden
ly chuckled and slapped his leg with
considerable force.
After the sermon he was overtaken
by the pastor.
"You seemed greatly pleased with
one section of the sermon" he said.
"Yes." replied the stout man. What
you said reminded me Of ripping new
scheme for beating the income tax"
