Didn't Know Who hlt Him.

ODon't know WhO f51t HIm.
 In the Harlem court 1t was no easy matter for a negro porter to explain just what had hit him, says the New York Sun. His head was neatly bound fn the gau1y whiteness of first aid, and but for brace of dark and indignant eyes which flashed from the front of the medical bundle and a pair of large and dark ears protruding from either side, he would have resembled care fully molded, bullet.shaped snowball. Through slight slit in the sanitary headgear the negro explained that he had been hit from 35 directions while at work in . cafe. At the time he as serted he was engaged In "scolding the bcsa' about his smail@ wages. the class of persons who came to the cafe and the superiority of the negro race over the white in every detail except their genral color scheme. "Well, who hit you" asked the magistrate. "We-l-l," said the porter, II don't know jes' who all took slam at me, but what know Is dis: In dat store at dat time they were about 35 men, an whi.t I do know IS that was walloped at least 35 times. Yer honor, jes' use your own judg. nIent."

Curiously enough, 1t appears to have value in chronic diarrhoea and even irritable stomach, although it would seem to be contraindicated. Where there is danger of dehuency disease, as in the case ot bottle fed infants, sailors, etc., the value of fruit juices is also well- known. Hence certain classes of sub- jects profit by being fruitarians to a considerable extent, but exclusive fruitarianism is a chimera for many reasons.

Why We Are AT War

R,v. w. F. Atkinson last Sunday
evening in Emmanuel Church preach
ed a very instructive sermon from
Psalm 100. Deliver My Soul, o
Lord. From Lying Lips and a Deceit
full Tongue. / Am For Peace, But
When l Speak They Are For War;"
Surely the case of David was the
same as what President Wilson has to
contend with in this great world crisis.
He showed that our nation had stood
for t~enaciously and spread world wide
consistently three great principles.
1. The Monroe Doctrine by which we
mean to defend the New World from
European aggression and by word and
deed we make It clear that we would
not interfere in any European dis
pute.
2. The Freedom of the Seas. Any
law to be just must have the consent
Of the governed. The seas belong to
all who travel upon them and must be
maintained by the International laws
agreed to by all nations using the
highways of the seas.
3. Arbitration. By experience we
have secured peace at home by refer
ring interstate disputes to the Federal
JARIEi4G ooAIL. We iiEGu q SlilliidE
settlement Of international co~ntrovers-
les. Our ideal is a permanent World
Court. Making treaties with more
han thirty nations shows our belief
in equality of all nations, small and
great. Our purpose 10 forestall all
wars was made clear to small and
great.
Germany has not only refused, but
sparned these principles and shown by
Iinsidious hostile actions did oppose
-hem. Consequently war was the only
course to take to defend the principles
dear to the national history and hope
Of our future security as free people
