A Historic Weapon.

Mons, which henceforth is en-
shrined in British hearts, has long
been a household word for Scotsmen.
Every boy insists on an excursion to
Edinburgh castle to see Mons Meg.
For Meg was made in Flanders, and
did much havoc at the siege OF Scot
fish castles as well as in wars of ad-
venture into England. Partly of wood
and partly of iron, the great gun was
put together late in the fifteenth CEN
fury. Cromwell captured it and listed
it as "the great iron murderer, Meg.
While firing salute for the duke Of
York, in 1852, Meg burst. A century
later it was banished from Edinburgh
TO the Tower of London as useless
gun; but Sir Walter Scott saw ro-
nance and patriotism in Mons Meg,
and persuaded the war Office to send it
back to the castle.-London Chronicle.

Chance of Denomination.

The collector of bridge tolls IN a
Scottish border town was quite char
acter in his way. Upon one occasion
a large party of American clergymen,
who were visiting Scotland, came to
survey the classic Borderland. The
end of the bridge bears a notice that
not more than ten people are allowed
on 1t at once, but the clerics chose to
diregard this, and went on in a body.
The collector saw them from his
little sentry box, and rushed out.
Back off that bridget he shouted,
but unused to such tones the clerics
pressed on.
"Back off that bridget" shouted the
collector again.
"But, my good man. expostulated
the foremost, "do you know that we
are members of the Pan-Presbyterian
congress?"
eye may call yourselves Pan-Pres-
byterian or pot-Presbyterian," roared
the collector, "but if We no gang all

German war machine that it isn't

with half a dozen other nations drag
ging along behind its wheels.
Now, we think, if the Times-Union
will consult history and its own files
a little, it will acknowledge that the
horns of the dilemma it has presented
to the Star are made of gingerbread
and easy to knock off.
The Star has observed all the
Times-Union has to say of the diff
culties of America preparing for
war-of the manner in which money
is squandered by corrupt politicians,
of the indifference of the mass of the
people, of the difficulty of keeping
up the present small army, and other
things, all or most of which the Star
must sorrowfully admit are true,
However, this is a great country, and
the great majority of its people are
Of patriotic as any people, it has the
greatest resources, and is the best
able to handle them. How any Amer
lean can look at his home and those
of his neighbors, can think of the
women and children he cares for, and
then refuse to do all in his power to
make them secure from the hell OF
a foreign invasion, is more than the
Star can understand. We can over
come all difficulties, we can make
ourselves safe, if we will. IL we
won't, may the devil help US, for the

only those who are willing and able
to help themselves.

Credit

Credit is an estimate of your ca
pacity to worry about paying your
bills which is held about you by lot
of total strangers. Credit is also a
belief held of your ability to pay for
something long after you have ceas-
ed to derive any benefit from it..
Credit is likewise a gauge of your
willingness to deceive yourself into
the belief that you can afford to buy
something because you cannot pay
cash for it. If everybody paid cash,
there would no bond issues, no
huge clerical forces, no national
debts, no armies or military systems,
no schools such as exist today, no war,
no degenerate fashions nothing but
plain, everyday living. Credit en-
ables everybody to live a fictitious
existence. Nothing exceeds like
credit.

But Vivian and Blair had pleaded
with significant hints that they had

patient be not unduly excited while

that this was to shield Esther from
the knowledge Of the drug weakness;
that she had learned. despite the eff
