Miss Emmeline read no further. With
trembling hands she picked up the sec

the envelope. Yes, it was the hand
writing of the man she loved that
stared back at her. She had not cried
for years, but now she felt the sharp
sting of tears behind her eyelids. The
brassy clang of bells turned suddenly
into the droning of bees. She was walk

garden.

LIFE ALWAYS OF INTEREST
To the Thinker, at Least, the Events
Of Past Years Must Stir
the Memory.

Life Is Interesting, If not happy, said
a great thinker the other day. and we
all admitted the truth and felicity of
the phrase on the instant. We Ind

been waiting for someone else to
say II.
liza Is always interesting. because

ought to see it just as they do, and
whoever does not is hammered at,
without mercy. Such uncharitable
zeal provokes opposition. 1t excites
all the friction of the natural heart.
Men will not appreciate the truth pre-
sented when they are repelled by the
spirit in which it is presented. Let us
speak the truth in 1ove.-Babb.

orthodox holly and mistletoe were
scattered in vases and behind picture

But of the Christmas peace and
beauty there was no trace in Miss

far and wide. With an impatient
movement Miss Emmeline turned from

fell on the morning mail, lying, as was
customary, awaiting her attention in q
neat pile on her desk.
A disdainful smile curved her lips
as her long thin fingers turned ovel
the envelope. Then suddenly her face
changed. 1t was as if summer WIND
had blown little pink into its cold

frosty look came back into her face

After fve-year-old Willie had gone

went into the room to see if he had

MR.. sRANDEls
APPROVED.

The confirmation Of Louis d. Bran
deis by the senate, which seems as
Sured after the favorable report OF the
judiciary committee. represents a
triumph of public opinion. Mr.. Bran
deis will take his seat in the supreme
court of the United States, in spite Of
the most powerful opposition ever en-
erted against nominee for such a
position. simply because the American
people have demonstrated that they
want him there.
1t has been an open contest between
class overwhelmingly unconscious
bu. none the less real-on the one
side, and democracy with a llttlo I'd"
on the other. And as inevitable when
ever such contest is fought to fin
ish in America, democracy has won.
Never has a nomination sent to the
senate provoked such interest. Let.
tiers from constituents have poured in
upon the senators by tens of thou.
sands. And It is reported that 95 per
cent were favorable to Mr.. Brandeis.
A very large part of them, too, were
obviously from men not accustomed
to letter-writing-spell out laborious-
ly on cheap stationery, with scratchy
pen by stiff fingers. AS a natural re.
suit, one senator after another con-
cluded that Continued opposition TO
the confirmation would not be JUST.
fled in the public mind"
II is to the honor of President
Emeritus Eliot of Harvard that in this
case, as in many others, this leader
OF American thought has aptly inter
preted the sentiment of his country
Admitting that Mr.. Brandeis "has
sometimes advocated measures oil
policies which did not commend them
selves to me-" he declared that he had
never questioned the nominees hon
esty and sincerity and his desire fol
Justice" He recognized Mr. Bran
deis's "keen intelligence, his quick ant
generous sympathies, mis- remarkable
capacity for labor, his gentleness ant
courage, his practical altruism ant
public spirit, and concluded that his
rejection by the senate would be ''r
grave misfortune for the whole lega
profession, the court, all American
business and the country"
