A Love Story.

Prof Henri Bergson. at dinner in
New York, talked of love with that
gay and sparkling philosophy which
has made him famous in Europe.
Love, in the sense of passion" he
said, love does not live long. There's
a little fable above love which has a
deal Of truth in it.
Love. so the fable runs, bent over
a beautiful maiden, when Cynicism
sneered and said:
"'Oh, yes. her eyes are stars, and
her mouth is rose. but twenty years
hence she viii be fat and round-back
ed, with a double chin, just like her
mother. You, though-ha, ha. hal
you, though, will be blind eh?'
NO Love answered. calmly. ]
simply shan't be there to see'"

WON BY WOMAN'S WIT
CUNNING DECIDES CONTEST FOR
HAND or BEAUTY.
Father Chose Among Many Suitors for
His Daughter. but the Girl Her
self Took Hand in Final
Selection.

There was, once upon time, Sem
egal tailor, who had daughter az
dazzling as the sun. All the youths
in the neighborhood were in love with
her beauty, and two of them went to
her and asked for her hand. The girl,
like well-trained daughter, made
them no answer, but called her father,
who listened to them and said:
TT is late; go home. and come again
tomorrow will tell you then which
of you shall have my daughter"
At daytreak the next morning the
young men were at his door.
Here we are" they cried; 'remem-
Der what you promised US yesterday"
Wait" said the tailor; Il must go
out and buy piece of cloth; when ]
return you will hear what expect you
to do"
He soon returned, and calling his
daughter said to the young men:
MY sons, there are two of you, and
j have but one daughter. cannot give
her to both of you and must refuse
lone. You see this piece of cloth
] will cut from 1t two pairs of breeches
exactly alike; each OF you shall make
one OF them. and the one that finishes
first shall be my son-in-law."
Each of the rivals took his task and
prepared to set to work under the
tailor's eyes. The latter said to his
daughter: Here is thread; you can
thread the needles for the workmen."
The girl obeyed: she took the spool
and sat down by the youths. But the
pretty witch was full of cunning; her
father did not know which one she
loved, neither did the young men, but,
for her part, she knew very we'll The
tailor went out. the girl threaded the
needles, and her suitors set to work.
But to the one she loved she gave
short needlefuls, while she gave long
needlefuls to his rival Both sewed
zealously; at eleven o'clock the work
was scarcely half done, but at three
in the afternoon the young man with
the short needlefuls had finished his
task, while the other was far behind.
When the tailor returned the victor
carried in the finished breeches. His
rival was still sewing.
my children" said the father, Il
did not wish to show any Partially be-
tween you, for which reason divided
the cloth into two equal parts and
gave each fair chance. Are you sat
tsfied?"
Perfectly" answered they. I'VE
understood your meaning and accept
ed the trial; what is to be will bel"
But the tailor had reasoned to him
self: HE who finishes his task first
will be the better workman, and con-
sequently the better fitted to support
his household" 1t did not occur to
him that his daughter might outwit
him by giving the longer needlefuls to
the one she did not wish to win. Won
ans wit decided the contest, and the
girl chose her husband herself.-Alice

MN OPINION NF KINGS.

Kaiser william, in his letter to
President Wilson, written on August
10. 1914, which has been disclosed by
ex-Ambassador Gerard in his memo
IRIS. quotes King George of England as
having sent him information that he
had ordered the British government
20 use every means possible to avoid
war. Our British allies have been
quick to deny that any such language
was used by their sovereign, and it
seems that the Kaiser Is not entirely
familiar with the status of the King
George has no opinions on political
matters aside from those of his adj
visers. IL he has, he keeps them to
himself. This is not merely matter
of royal modesty, but is due to the
British constitution The King of
England could have made the stste-
ment attributed to him only with the
consent of his premier. Given that
consent. he would have worded the
message differently. The King of
Prussia may order" his government
to do things. but the orders of the
king Of England originate with minis
ters selected from the political party
victorious in English elections. and re-
sponsible to the electorate. A very
good reason why British Kings can
do no wrong" is that they are not

small and not essential feature, but
this plate had been set on true, and
then the screws by which it was held
in place had all been turned up until
the slots In their heads all showed
