AN EAST INDIANS IDEA.

DR.. Krishna of the dethroned dy-
nasty of India, scholar, literateur, and
intimate friend of Pierre Lott, Anatole
France and other European brilliants
is In the United States, and his por-
trait of an American is nothing like
the reflection the delighted gentleman
draws from his own mirror.
In recent interview DR.. Krishna
said:
"The American lacks spirituality.
He is material. He gives his wife
of 40 $4,000. Now, you take a. go
to hell for what I care he tells her.
I must have little bird around that
can fatter and be flattered BY And
he gets his divorce"
To this cavalier treatment of the
lady of 40, the American adds a fawn-
ing for anything British, and an anus
ing ingenuity in twisting scriptures to
condone whatever he wants to do, said
the distinguished East Indian.
DR.. Krishna, dark, polished, and Of
excellent diction, spoke with contempt
of Americas degeneration to a. mere
colony of England, gladly restoring the
yoke that Washington and other
heroes had cast of: at great cost of
blood.
ENGLAND says, I must control the
seas and America says, yes, it is
right that you should and America
supports her. And yet, in 1912, your
country fought England for just the
reverse principle. There was man,
by name George Washington, and you
call. him the father of this country be-
cause he demanded and, somehow,
won free home for his people.

A REAL PHlLANTHROPlST.

One of the most pleasing things we
have heard Of lately is contained in
the will of the late Andrew Freedman
of New York, the bachelor who left
an estate valued at 100000, the
bulk Of which is to be used even
tually for the establishment Of a
home for the aged on original lines
which the founder himself had for
mulated. It will be- known as the
Andrew Freedman Home. It will re-
ceive aged persons in INDECENT cir
cumstances without regard to race,
sex or creed, and especially will it
care for old couples who, in the even
ing of life might otherwise be forced
to live apart. Mr.. Freedman selected
twenty-four persons, who will be re-
quested to act as trustees Of the
home. They represent various races
and religions and their selection
shows that the testator intended that
the institution should have a repre-
sentative board. Mr.. Freedman, evil
