breaths of the frosty air. does it look
like q cold-blooded attempt to burn

That's our solemn opinyun!"
Mr.. Bowser was about to protest
and increase his cash offers when the
two gentlemen with burned vitals fell
upon him. The three went down to-
gether and Mrs. Bowser, looking from
a back window. and the cook and cat
! looking from the back door. could see
nothing for the next two minutes for
the cloud Of snow in the air. Then
the two trampS detached themselves
| from the circus and climbed the yard
fence, and the household went out to
| look for Mr.. Bowser. There were
thousands of traces of him on hand,
| but 1t took three minutes to discover
his actual presence and dig 1t out
from under the snow. He had been
thumped and kicked and choked. but
life had not departed. He soon rail-
| lied and sat up, and after being helped
to his feet he made his WOODY way to
the kitchen and thence upstairs. He
did not ask what had happened. and
Mrs. Bowser gave him a rest of fif-
teen minutes on the lounge before she
said:
with your temperature at the
point it is do you think you can reach
the north pole?''
He lifted up his head and glared at
her.
Il suppose the government ought to
be notified at once, and il you don't

Another glare. followed by a grit
| ting of his teeth, and it was ten min
utes before she observed:
I've told the cook to heat witch
hazel to wash or the blood. Do you
wish for any particular temperature? ''
But Mr.. Bowser had grown weary
OF the north pole and fallen asleep,
and she counted seven different
scratches on his nose and wondered
how he'd look on the street on the
morrow.-(Copyrig 1915. by the

AS Mr. Bowser was not experiment

to the warm atmosphere of the kitchen
and took his stand at a window. He
had scarcely begun his observations
when one Of the tramps rolled over
and began to kick like horse tan

sprang to his feet and spattered and

DREAMS OF EUROPEAN FEDERATION.

Many excellent scholars and thinkers hold that
the only way 10 peace is in world federation.
They realize that it may be long in coming, but
they still feel that nothing else will accomplish the
end sought by the unlailing lovers Of peace.
The advocates of world federation condemn
nauonalsm and assume that sovereign states will
surrender their sovereignty by becoming members
Of the federated states of the world
The idea is not a new one, but it proceeds on
the doctrine that has found any sort of foot
hold IN humanity. The Roman empire ~ the near
est approach the world has yet seen to dead level
in government and surely no one is arguing for a
world federation on the strength Of the Roman
example Quite the contrary conclusion ought to
be drawn
The progress of the world depends quite as
much upon rivaries and frictions and emulatons as
upon anything else. II does not depend upon war,
in spite Of the praise Of war that we hear though
at times nothing but war removes the oppressor.
In such case there is nothing TO do hut fight
and the more successful the fight the better. But
the idea that progress may be had under the dead
level of uniform rule and regulation is unoueston
ably mistaken one. II is overlooked in our own
country when every effort is made to carry promo
sitions by way Of amendment TO the national CON.
stitution in disregard Of the wishes and feelings Of
states
The union was founded on the idea that vari
ous sovereignties might get together upon thing,
Of common interest for their protection against ont
side interference and for freedom OF trade within
the national limits

FAVOR THE CERTIFICATIoN PLAN

There il something practical in the offer of the
treasury department to examine and certify on ap-
plication from the owners shiploads of non-con-
traband goods destined for Europe The action is
a concrete indication that the note Of protest to
Great Britain is something more than faultfind-
ing complaint and that the American government
is ready to cooperate in a friendly way in ameh-
Grating an unfortunate and difficult situation
At the same time the government confines IT.
self within bounds 1t does not try TO compel ship
owners to submit to an examination OF their car
goes 1t is offering a service which may be ac-
cepted or refused.
1t is perhaps too much to expect that Great
Britain will waive its right of search for Amer
lean government guarantee because, az has already
been pointed out in England, there is always the
ingenuity of smuggers to be reckOned with and
the possibility of transhipments at sea s well.
More than this definite agreement to waive the
right of search might easily create needless mis-
understandings and complications. Britain has,
however, indicated its appreciation of the efforts
Of the government in Washington and it may be
assumed will meet Washington half way in any
thing that may be done
If the arrangement proposed by the American
government can be carried out even cOndtionally,
it ought TO relieve immensely the shippers Of cot
ton and other non-contraband articles, and do away
with much of the present complaint by manufac-
turers and merchants
On the other hand il will not act against those
adventurous spirits who may desire to try their
fortunes in the smuggling trade, except Of course
Ms the lack Of certiication on their cargoes may
arouse the suspicious of British agents However
Il contrabandist can scarcely complain because the
American government does not take proper care tC
protect his irregular business

TAKE THE SCARE OUT OF RELIGION

The pale student who writes these lines has no
desire to rob any man of his shuddenng belief IN
hell or his JOYOUS hope of heaven but there are
times when it would be better, it seems to us TO
promote religion for the sake of the good 1t will
do on earth and not so much IN the hope of re-
ward in the next world.
Far be it from us to involve tins community
in another discussion AS 10 whether or not there is
"A place of future punishment Such Is not the III
trntou Of these few remarks on the subject. There
are thousands Of men, however, who have reached
or are approaching the age Of forty who ito not
find the religion Of the present day, as 1t IS handed
out to them from the pulplts as satisfying as 1t
might be-
I'm other words they refuse to be scared INTO
the churches They would gladly embrace re
gion that is tangible and that means ior them
brotherhood among men. They want religion
that will induce men to practice the common de-
cencies of life and teach them to be gentlemen IN
the fIuest sense of the word. Such a religion
would result in greater good right now on earth,
and il would be something that could be grasped
by a practical man.
There are those who believe that the preachers
have not kept pace with the trend of the world.
At least they believe that this is true of those who
lnger in the rear Of the procession and shout their
frightening words into the ears of those who VIII
stop to listen In these days there are many men
who read and think and who are capable of form
ing their own opinions
Such men would be willing TO embrace re
luion that is reasonable and sensible and practical
for everyday use They want a religion that is
good for humanity and devoid of any fantastic
frils. If they practice such Il religion they will
be prepared to meet any contingency that may
arise after they have crossed the dark river and
stand before their maker for the final judgment
