There is little doubt that one of the
most oppressive, injurious, detestable
forces in the world is the force of
conventionality, that instinct which
makes men Judge character and an ac-
ton, not by its beauty or it's merits,
but by comparing it with the standard
Of how the normal man would regard
it, writes Arthur c. Benson. This vast
and intolerable medium of dullness,
which penetrateS our lives like thick,
dark mist, allowing US only to see the
object in range of an immediate vision,
hostile to all originality, crushingly
respectable, that dictates our homes,
our occupations, our amusements, our
emotions, our religion. is the most
ruthless and tyrannical thing in the
world.

WANTED TO SHOW LOYALTY
esthos in offer Of Burmese Villagers
to Come 20 the Assistance Of
Great Empire.

T.. p. Jacks tells this well-authenti-
Gated story in the Yale Review. Il
comes from a civil officer in remote
part of Burma.
One early morning not long ago
this officer found an ancient Burman
squatting on his heels in front of the
bungalow whom he recognized as the
mead man of a village distant 80 miles
away in the hills.
Questioned by the officer as to the
purpose for which he had undertaken
so long a journey through the jungle,
the old man replied as follows:
"Thakin (master), my villagers
wish to make some return for the ia
vors bestowed upon us by the British
government.
And now am come to tell you that
we have in our village eight guns, an
cient and well tried and all held under
n license granted by the most honor
able Thakin: we have also four
pounds of excellent gunpowder in a
bottle and bag of bullets; these be-
ing neither more nor less than the
Thakin's license permits us to hold.
Moreover, there are in our village
Two crackers who have proved their

The Peacock and Juno.

The peacock made complaint to
Juno that, while the nightingale
pleased every ear with his song he
no sooner opened his mouth than he
became a laughing stock to all who
heard him. The goddess, to console
him, said, "But you far excel in beauty
and in size The splendor Of the
emerald shines in your neck, and you
unfold a tail gorgeous with painted
plumage." "But for what purpose
have l." said the bird, this dumb
beauty so long as ! am surpassed in
song?" "The lot of each" replied
Juno, has been assigned by the VIII
of the fates-to thee, beauty; to the
eagle, strength; to the nightingale,
song; to the raven, favorable, and to
the crow, unfavorable auguries. These
are all contented with the endow'
ments allotted to them. From
Aesop's Fables.

Sheep Made Much Trouble.

The exploits of the proverbial bull
in the china shop have been emulated,
If not surpassed, by the raid Of
sheep on the Rugby (Eng.) branch of
Lloyd's bank. The sheep dashed in
to the rear Of the bank premises, with
two drovers in hot pursuit. Gaining
entrance to the kitchens, it made
terrific clatter among the pots and
pans, and then leaped through a win
dow and turned on a water tap. The
drovers were capsized in the struggle
which ensued, and the sheep bolted
through another door and got into
the main office. A dozen bank clerks,
aided by rulers, induced the animal to
return to the kitchen, where it was
eventually cornered, trussed up, and
ANONYMOUSLY carried away, after hay-
ing kept the bank staff busy for nearly
two hours.
