 The little black-draped figure of the little old lady in the high backed pew strengthened perceptibly at the words of the minister as he read his Easter text
 For an instant her face against the crepe of the mouring veil she wore gleamed like lamp of alabaster; then the flame went out in grief, for the losses of the years; the husband, the little ones, and bitterest loss of all, the boy-her first born-who died at Siboney

Henry James Moral World

 According to the more usual opinion . passion that has it's reasons for secrecy can almost never escape baseness. In Henry James we are often invited to feel that the necessary sacrifices, of scruple. of good faith. of elementary straightnesa and rightness of relation precisely where the lovers are most bound to so straight. serve to measure the passions intensity and to justify the lovers in giving rghA of way to their central loyalty. Any ones moral code. no matter what else 1t consists of, Is sure to contain an ar. ticle forbidding us to treat a human be- ing as a convenience. and another for4 bidding us to pretend while doing thi0 that we are doing something else Both articles are violated in these novels. but to call the result merely base and crua would be absurd.

uation as the dismissed employe re- pline
 Marcus M Marks president of the borough of Manhattan of the city of New York, realized the truth of these observations regarding the arbitrary exercise of the power of dismissal. He accordingly has established joint trial board consisting of two officials se- lected by himself and of two employees of the same rank as the accused, se- lected by lot
 President Marks has referred to the trial board more than 50 cases in which he possessed the arbitrary power of removal. In every case the judgment of the trial board has been unanimous, the two fellow employees in each case reaching the same conclusion as the representatives of the president
 The effect of this joint trial board upon the discipline of the department has been most salutary. Instead of dis torted descriptions of the star chamber proceedings which preceded the arbi- trary dismissal of guilty employe. the employees who have served on the joint trial board have returned to their fellow employees with the doctrine of the square deal No innocent empIoye can lose his position while his fellow employees sit upon the trial board to protect his interests. but his fellow employees cannot undertake to protect him if he has really been guilty of serious misconduct. In each case thus far the employe has been found guilty.
 The abolition of the fining system in the fire department and the estab- lishment of the joint trial board in the office of the borough president have greatly improved discipline in these two branches of the New York city administration. Should this not teach lesson to other cities and to

WRITES ASPIRING SONG AT AGE 0F 92
Lady Lennard's 'sThe Cana. dian Guns," Is Popular
 in England

London, April 10.-(Special) )-One of the most popular of the war songs and
 marches in London is "The Canadian Guns composed by Lady Barrett Lem
 nard, the S2-year-old sister of Field Mar
 shal Sir Evelyn Wood, who spends all
 her time in devsing measures for the
 benefit of Canadian and other overseas soldiers. The well known verses were in- spired by the now historic feat of the Canadians. when they recaptured the guns which were lost when the British line temporarily broke at Ypres. Lady
 Barrett Lennard set the words to some very spirited music, which quickly tickled
 the ears of the Canadians and added ths song to the programme of the concerts for the overseas troops. It became so immediately popular that all the Canadian bands had orders to make it a regular | item on their program ammes. The Royal artillery bandmaster, and the bandmas- ] ters of the Australian and New Zealand ] forces, took it up, and the result is that any military band you hear in London will probably play this march As a | song it has proved equally successful. Captain Mackenzie Rogan, the well known military bandmaster, who, with the famous Coldstreams band has been a | frequent visitor to Canada, has taken the | march with him to France, and Paris l has confirmed the favorable opinion of London judges. The march is now be- l ing played within sound of the guns, | near the scene of the great event which | it celebrates.

ALLIANCE UPHELD BY 'OKUMA'S OPPONENT.
Leader of Opposition Joins Premier in Approval of the
 Anglo-Jap Understanding

Tokio, March Correspondence ot the Associated Press )-Baron Korekiyo Takahashi, former minister of finance, and leading member of the opposition in the House of Peers, has upheld Premier Count Okuma in defense of the Anglo Japanese alliance He planes internal politics for the press agitation on the subject He says:
 The opposition press and, indeed, many of the members of the opposition have gone so far as to openly assert that Baron Kato the former minister for for eign affairs and the leader of the gov ernment supporters in the last Diet is completely under the thumb of Great Britain-private secretary to Sir Edward Grey'-as one speaker said. Now, if this is said in the Diet, and the dependence of Baron Kato upon British influence Is popularly believed, it gives the press a peg on which to base attack. Hence, in this acute state of public opinion, it is not difficult to understand how an op- portunist cry may secure a vogue for a short time.'
 But Baron Takahashi declared that while he doubted the ability of the pres- ent ministry, he affirmed that the loyalty of Japan to Great Britain and the Anglo Japanese alliance Is as fixed as any great principle of the nation Therefore the agitation need not cause Japan S friends moments uneasiness. He was convinced that the leading men of Japan the men of all classes, occupation and political leanings-are in sympathy with Great Britain and the allies and that a consensus of the well-balanced opinion of the empire would show the whole peo- pie to be in perfect accord as to uphold ing the Anglo-Japanese alliance.
 The ex-minister concluded: "Frendshir for Great Britain, France, America and the allied countries is not a policy in- augurated by this cabinet and the fall of the cabinet would not change the for eign policy of the government by one hairs breadth"

Improved Discipline
 For City Employes

By LEONHARD FELIX FULD, PHI. D. Assistant Chief Examiner Municipal Civil Service Commission, New York. tExclusive service the Survey Press Bu- beau.)
 When man punches your nose, do you go home and beat up his wife :? If not why did the city of New York formerly deprive the wife of a fire man of the necessities of life when ever he violated regulation of the department? When fireman was fined this action of the fire commissioner caused the fireman to, sit up and take notice because it affected his earning capacity. To this extent it was very effective. ss,
 From social and from an admin istrative point of view it had two se- rous drawbacks. however. There was always feeling of suspicion among the firemen that fines were inflicted to swell the revenues of the pension fund, It inflicted punishment upon in- nocent victims-the wives and the chil : dren of the men who had violated the regulations of the department
 When these arguments against the fining system were brotIht to the at tcntion of Robert Adamson, the fire coiniHiSSioHef or NeW OrK, ne pfOmpt- ly abolished the fining system in his department Bremen in New York who violate the rules of the department are now required to work longer hours instead of being fined. Working long CT hours punishes the fireman and not the innocent members of his family
 Most men have whims and preju- dices Heads of city departments are no exception to this rule and city em- ployes resent the fact tat their well fare and the welfare of their fam lilies so frequently depend upon the whim or prejudice of the head of department. If they rub the head of the department the wrong way they may lose their ioh.
 Few people, on the other hand rec ognize and acknowledge ones own shortcomings. City employees are in- cliped to ascribe their dismissal to whim or prejudice even when 1t is based upon sound disciplinary grounds. What a dismissed employe thinks of the man who dismissed him may be Of comparatively small importance but the fact that his fellow employees gem, orally take the same. view of the sit.

 Titus is one of the large class of sur names derived from an earlier Chris tian name. It was not until the fifteenth and sixteenth century that the adop- tion of surnames became general, and before that persons were for the most part called by their first names with some modifying adjective or other noun added
 When it became necessary to choose last names. many persons simply took their last name from their first-and that is what the first Tituses did. The name, as first name, is an old one.
