Going the Limit

Jones was one of those men who grumble at everything and everybody. He was once at- tackled by inflammatory rheuma- tism and was carefully nursed by his wife, who was very devoted to him, in spite of his fault-fnding disposition. His suffering caused her to burst into tears sometimes as she sat by his bedside.
 One day a friend came in and asked him how he was getting on.
 Badly, badly!" he exclaimed; and its all my wife's fault"
 "Is it possible3" asked the friend, in surprise.
 "Yes. The doctor told me that humidity was bad for me, and there that woman sits and cries just to make it moist in the room. ''

THE ULTIMATE END OF IT ALL
(By Victor Hugo.)


 "A day will come when you, France-you, Russia-you, Italy you, England-you, Germany-all you nations of the Continent, shall without losing your distinctive qualities and your glorious in- ,dividuality, blend in a higher unity, and form a European fraternity, even as Normandy, Brittany, Bur guudy, Lorraine, Alsace, all the French provinces, blended into France. A day will come when war shall seem as impossible be- tween Paris and London, between St. Petersburg and Berlin, as be- tween Rouen and Amiens, between Boston and Philadelphia "A day will come when bullets and bombs shall be replaced by ballots, by universal suffrage of the people, by the sacred arbitra- ment of a great sovereign senate, which shall be to Europe what the parliament is to England, what the diet is to Germany, what the leg islative assembly is to France. A day will come when a cannon shall be exhibited in our museums, as an instrument of torture IS now, and men shall marvel that such things could be.
 "A day will come when we shall see those two immense groups, the United States of America and the United States of Europe, in face of each other, extending hand to hand over the ocean, exchang- ing their products, their commerce, their industry, their art; their gen. jus clearing the earth, colonizing deserts, and ameliorating creation under the eye of the Creator.
 "To you l appeal, French, En- glish, Germans, Russians, Slavs, Europeans, Americans, what have we to do to hasten the coming of the great day?
 Love one another!"

If you want a plain, every day samples of what law can do when properly mixed with money, gaze on the Harry Thaw case. Put your money down and guess ac- cording tu law whether he is crazy or not. It has taken a half mil lion dollars or more to find out how many thousands more it would take 70 prove that he was either broke or crazy. No one will ever find out for dead cer- tainty that he is crazy until he is flat broke. Money sure makes the ego go.
