ToDAY's BIRTHDAY PARTY.
BY o. Terence.
siIas K. Hooking, English Novelist,
65 Today.

SiIas x. Hooking, English Novelist,
65 Today.
This is the 65th birthday of Silas
Kitto Hooking. the English novelist.
who has a wide following on this side
of the Atlantic, as we'll as in his ma
tive land. Mr.. Hooking was born in
st. Stephens, Cornwall. and was
educated by private tutors and in the
grammar school of his native town.
He early decided to become clergy
man, and at the age OF 20 he was
ordained to the ministry. He con-
tinued in the clerical profession until
1896, holding pastorates in Liverpool,
Manchester and other cities, but fcT
nearly 20 years he has devoted him
self wholly to literature. His first
novel was published in 1873 and bore
the title OF ALEC Green" 1t was
fairly successful, and inspired the
clergyman-author to continue his
literary ,endeavors. Since then he has
written nearly two-score volumes and
has become one of the foremost novel
lists of the day. Goods Outcast," 1.-The
Silent Man." THE Flaming Sword
Yours and Mine" and Smoking
Flax" are among the most popular
of his numerous productions. Mr.
Hooking has travelled extensively in
Lle OIllleu otdIeS anu Sd1Idud, AS wen
as in Europe and Africa.
The novelist is onesof a very few
influential Englishmen who have de-
Tended George Bernard Shaw's mani
festo, Common Sense About the
War" While he deplores the excess
of cynicism" in that famous work, the
novelist said:
Much OF it Is eminently wise and
sane. He said many things that badly
wanted saying, and which few people
appear to have had the courage to
say. He put his finger boldly on the
weak places in our armor, disturbed
not little Of our selfcomplacency,
pointed out dangers we tried to ignore,
brought us down from our high
falutin to praise facts, and has shown
us a good many things that had got
out of focus, in their true perspective,
for all of which we ought to be truly
thankful. But his incurable habit of
poking fun at everything often runs
away with his judgment. Some of his
criticisms are not only farcical, but
unture. This is a pity. He says so
many things that are wise and true
that it is annoying to discover so
much that will not bear close exami-
nation"

might be wiped out by labor troubles

Mr.. Taylor was personally prac-
teal Brandeis. He could actually do
wonders with men and a stopwatch.
But how many men are like HIM:
How many manufacturers have the
cold.blooded persistence to exact per-
lection from themselves and their en-
ployees? How many employees would
; consistently seek perfection?
We hear repeatedly OF the eff
cheney test being made in this or
that factory. We rarely or never hear
of the system being permanently
adopted. On this record alone Mr..
Taylor's campaign might be con-
sidered failure. And yet here and
there and elsewhere 1t has actually
resulted in the saving of vast total
sum of money. 1t is not because any
one concern has lived up to his stan-
dard. 1t is because his campaign
brought suggestions to very many men
who never even saw him. Efficiency"
may be catchword; but 1t has caught

men and individuals, with profit to
each, according to his limitations

Sir Pertab carried the body OF his
friend out of the palace and placed

Sir Pertab's friends and subjects were
aghast at this act, and the following
morning several hundred Brahmtn
priests appeared at the palace. They
were there to degrade Sir Pertab-to
reduce him to the station of the humb-
lest scavenger. The soldier drew
himself erect and laughed at their
threats. II belong to caste you can
not degrade" he declared. Il belong

Napoleon's genius for organization
soon succeeded in bringing order out
of chaos in the army, but in the do
main of politics he was foiled at every
turn. Carnot raised the threat of civil
war while Napoleon was feverishly
preparing to face the armies of his
foes. Fouche proved a traitor. and
Napoleon ordered him shot, but was
dissuaded from taking that extreme
measure at such a critical time. So,

FREDERICK W. Taylor, who died in

Frederick w. Taylor, who died in
Philadelphia Sunday, was man with
q mission. Like most such men, he
failed to see, perhaps, that what
seemed to him SO simple a thing to
ask the world to do measured the diff
ference between his own personality
and that of those to whom he ap-
pealed. To reduce every human mo-
ton to q mathematical formula is to
make. man an automation. 1t requires
supreme intelligence, supreme
conscientiousness and fidelity to little
details that is more often associated
With failure in large things and with
real success.
There are probably a million peo-
pie In this country who are trying
TO do their work well and economical
". Their average efficiency may not
be over 80 per cent. But the point IS
that they are trying, and the same
! lack Of perfect intelligence which pre-
vented their finding out for themselves
the Taylor methods of economy are
likely to limit the success of those
methods whenever a Taylor is not at
hand to apply them.

reached an agreement to combine their
armies, which were still under arms,
and march against the Corsican, "in
order to prevent him from again
| troubling the peace of Europe" Each
of the powers agreed to supply 100000
men, and more IL necessary. Russia,
Prussia. Great Britain and Austria
were the parties to this new treaty,
made on the basis of that of Chau-
ment. On the following day the
formal treaty was signed and an inter-
national declaration declaring Ma
poelon an outlaw was issued. On the
same day a secret agreement was
concluded by which each of the four
powers promised not to make a sepa
rate peace, but to continue the war
until Napoleon's power had been
nnally destroyed. IN THIS secret QoCu-
ment, 1t was provided that England
should finance the war. All the
smaller countries of Europe agreed to
these treaties, and Napoleon again
faced Europe in arms.
The declaration branding Napoleon
as an outlaw and common disturber
of the peace was in part as follows:
THE powers which signed the
treaty of Paris, reassembled in con-
gress at Vienna, being informed of
the escape of Napoleon Bonaparte,
and of his entry at the head OF an
armed force into France, owe it to
their own dignity and to the welfare
of the nations to make a solemn an
nouncement of their sentiments on
the occasion.

prived himself of the protection of
the laws. and made 1t evident. in the
face of the world. that there can no
longer be peace or truce with him.
