HISTORY NOT MERE RECORD
Writer, to Set 1t Down Successfully,
Must Use His Constructive
Imagination.

There is no commoner cause of his
torical misjudgment than the ten
dency to read the events of the past
too exclusively in the light of the
present, and so twist the cold and I'M
conscious record into the training
service of controversial politics. And
yet history is inevitably to a great ex-
tent a work of the Imagination. No
good historian is content merely to re-
peat the record of the past. He hos
to understand it, to see behind it, to
find more in it than it actually says.
He cannot understand without the use
of his constructive Imagination, and
he cannot imagine effectively with
out the use of his experience. / b..
lieve it is one of the marks of a
great historian to see both present and
past, as it were, with the same un-
clouded eye, to realize the past story
as if it were now proceeding before
him, and envisage the present much
in the same perspective as it will bear
when it is as one chapter, or so many
pages, in the great volume of the past
We know in Gibbons case how
much the historian of the Roman EN-
pire learnt from the captain of the
Hampshire grenadiers. And 1t would
surely be folly to tell man who had
lived through the French or Russian
revolution TO forget his own expert
ence when he came to treat of simila;
events in history-Gilbert Murray.

Piece of Ancient Meteor.

Meteorites of indicated great age are
conspicuous by their absence from mu-
scum collections, and it is suggested
that such specimens may disintegrate
and disappear from the rocks within
a relatively short time after falling.
The British museum. however, has late
ly acquired slice of somewhat less
than pound from a meteoric iron
that is believed to represent an ancient
fall. The slice is from one of two SIM
liar masses that were found in Janu-
ary, 1905, within a few miles of Daw-
son, Klondike, and that from their
position deep in the oldest gravels Of
the district are thought to have rested
there since the Pliocene age or before.
From his study of the original speci-
mems in the Museum of the Geologi-
cal Survey at Ottawa, R. A. A. John
son concluded that they are part of
single meteoric shower Of Tertiary
time.

Dantzlo.

The old fortress of Dantzig is rich
in Napoleonic lore. 1t was here that
the Man of Destiny failed to heed the
intimations of grand council of his
marshals-Murat, Ney, and the rest,
that his star had passed perihelion; II
was here that he upbraided them for
having grown soft in prosperity. and
for opposing the invasion of Russia (;
and it was from Danzig that his le-
gions Jumped off, for the Inflated
Moscow campaign.
In later day Dantzig was the
background and the base for the north
ern shear of Mackensen's gray-green
pincers that took Warsaw. Look al
the map of the blunt salient that Rus
sian Poland made into the heart Of
the central empires in the days before
the war, and the strategic value Of
the fortified city In the rear Of the in
vading Germans can readily be seen.

CHAPTER viii.

A few days after Georges return
to the university it became evident
that not quite everybody had gazed
with complete benevOlence upon the
various young collegians at their
holiday sports. The Sunday edition
of the principal morning paper even
expressed some bitterness under the
heading, "Gilded Youths of the Fin
de-Siecle"-this was considered the
knowing phrase of the time, espe-
cially for Sunday supplements-and
there is no doubt that from certain
references in this bit of writing some
people drew the conclusion that Mr..
George Anderson Minafer had not
yet got his come-upance, postpone
ment still irritating. Undeniably
Fanny Minafer was one of the people
who drew this conclusion, for she cut
the article out and inclosed it in a
letter to her nephew, having written
on the border of the clipping, Il won
der whom it can mean"
George read part of it:

in few years public affairs may be in
the hands of the f1n-de-siecle gilded
youths we see about us during the Christ
mas holidays. Such foppery, such luxury,
such insolence was surely never prac-
ticed by the scented overbearing patrl-
clans of the Palatine, even in Rome's
most decadent epoch. With his airs of
young Milford, his fast horses, his gold
and silver cigarette cases, his clothes
from a New York tailor, his recklessness
of money showered upon him by indulgent
mothers or doting grandfathers, he re-
spects nothing and nobody. He is blase,
If you please. Watch him at a social
function, how condescendingly he deigns
to select a partner for the popular waltz
or twc-step; how carelessly he shoulders
older people out of his way, with what
blank stare he returns the salutations of
some old acquaintance whom he may
choose in his royal within to forget

new generation. OF such as these the re-

George yawned and tossed the clip
ping into his waste basket, wondering
why his aunt thought such dull nom
sense worth the sending. AS for her

like mother who has a son home
from college, except another mother
with son home from college. Yet
they give up their sons to the daugh-
tiers of other mothers, and find it
proud rapture enough to be allowed
TO sit and watch.
Thus Isabel watched George and
Lucy dancing as together they danced
away the holidays Of that year into
the past.
''They seem to get along better than
they did at first, those two children,
Fanny Minafer said, sitting beside
her at the Sharons' dance week
after the Assembly. "They seemed to
be always having little quarrels of
some sort at first. At least George
did: he seemed to be continually
pecking at that lovely, dainty little
Lucy, and being cross with her over
nothing"
sPeckingY Isabel laughed. what
word to use about George! / think
/ never knew a more angelically
amiable disposition in my life!"
Miss Fanny echoed her sister-in-
laws laugh, but it was a rueful echo.
and not sweet ''He's amiable to you !"
she said. "That's all the side of him
you ever happen to see. And why
wouldn't he be amiable to anybody
that simply fell down and worshiped
him every minute of her life? Most
of us would ~
isn't he worth worshiping? Just
look at him !"
"Oh, I'm not going to argue with
you about George" said Miss Fanny.

matter. He can be charming, and he's
certainly stunning looking, if only"

suggested good-naturedly. Lets talk
about that dinner you thought l
should"
''I?'' Miss Fanny interrupted quick
ly. Didn't you want to give it your
self?"
Indeed l did, my dear" said Isa-
bel heartily. 81 only meant that I'M
less you had proposed it perhaps
wouldn't"
But here Eugene came for her to
dance, and she left the sentence I'M
completed. Holiday dances can be
happy for youth renewed as well as
for youth in bud-and yet it was not
with the air of a rival that Miss
Fanny watched her brothers wife
dancing with the widower. Miss
Fanny's eyes narrowed little, but
only as if her mind engaged in hope
full calculation. She looked pleased.

Il don't think l should have called

thoughtfully. mo. l don't think he

"Only when he's cross about some
thing?' Morgan suggested. with a
semblance of sympathetic gravity.
"Yes,' she said brightly, not per-
ceiving that his intention was humor-
Gus. "All the rest of the time he's
really very amiable. OF course he's
much more a perfect child the whole
time than he realizesl He certainly
behaved awfully tonight" She
jumped up, her indignation returning.
HE did, indeed, and it won't do to en-
courage him in it. l think he'll find
me pretty cool-for week or so!''
Whereupon her father suffered a re-
newal Of his attack of uproarious
laughter.

DISCRIMINATING Pests.

Uncle Sam employs approximately
300 professional trappers and hunters
to assist western stockmen In exter-
minating wild predatory animals from
the range country. These hunters
have killed 70,715 predatory animals
In the last three years, which has re-
suited in direct saving estimated Mt
nearly 515 million dollars a year to
the stockmen of the Rocky Mountain
section. The total XII! consisted OF
60,473 coyotes, S,094 bobcats, 1929
wolves, POI mountain lions and 1877
bears. The pelts of the animals kill
ed were sold for approximately $780,.

killed by trapping and shooting, great
numbers of coyotes have been killed
by the carefully organized poisoning
campaigns conducted by the biological
survey.

''Look herei" George said quickly.

Knocked him; and her suppressed We
hemence betrayed surprising acerb-
ity. "See here. George Minafer, /

George was so astounded by this
outburst that his indignation was de-
iayed by his curiosity. why, what
upsets you this way?" he inquired.
II know what you mean," she said,
her voice still lowered. but not de-
creasing in sharpness. You're trying

Beyond doubt that was what Miss
Fanny meant. She gave him a white
hot look. You attend to your own

swept away.
George, dumfoundeG. returned TO
his room for meditation.
He had lived for years in the same
house with his Aunt Fanny, and 1t
now appeared that during all those
years he had been thus intimately as
sociating with a total stranger. Never
before had he met the passionate
lady with whom he had just held a

But presently, at the thought of the

solved upon line Of conduct for the
