MacKnight flung out a question In

OLD THINGS UNDER THE SUN
Democracy In Ancient Jewish Days and
the League Of Nations,
Are Two.

The democratic idea is Of great antfq-
uity, the Christian Herald reminds Its
readers. Under the prophets and
Judges. Israel was a democracy. 1t was
not until they were fascinated by the
barbaric splendor and unrestrained IL
cense of the heather nations around
them that they began to be dissatisfied
with their own simple ways and to long
for a king and q snowy court. 1t was
the lure Of sin and worldly vanity.
Samuel warned them against courts
and kings and told them Of what would
happen, but his warnings went unheeo-
ed The vision Of the age OF peace
beean az early as eight centuries b. O.
hnt II was not until the Christian era
that the world change In the existing
order fully dawned upon the minds OF
men. The idea Of league OF nations
"a not new. Such a league was fore
shadowed by Jean Bloch. in his re-
markable book, "The Future OF Wal"
issued 20 years ago. 1t was also fore
seen by Emanuel Kant, who. in his es-
saw on perpetual Peace" wrote that
the law Of nations must be based on
the federation Of free states. At DIFF
forent times leaders In national and
international reform have had visions
of such league. but always as pos
sibility of the remote future. 1t has
remained for the United States to
nromulgate 1t at time when the
world seems prepared to listen.

Art Of Literature.

L'art de bien dire Is but a drawing
room accomplishment unless 1t is
pressed into the service Of the truth.
The difficulty Of literature Is not to
write, but to write what you mean; not
to affect your reader, but to affect him
precisely as you wish. This is COM
monty understood in the case OF books
or set orations; even In . writ
ing an explicit letter, some difficulty
is admitted by the world. But one
thing you can never make Philistine
natures understand; one thing, which
yet lies on the surface. remains as un-
seizable to their wits as high flight
Of MISUNDERSTANDING, that the bust.
ress Of life is mainly carried on by
means Of this difficult art of literature.
and according to mans proficiency
in that art shall be the freedom and
the fullness of his intercourse with
other men.-R. L. Stevenson.

He Shrieked aloud. rushed IN :

He shrieked aloud, rushed to the
rail-, and In the delirum of his mind
crouched low to hide himself from this
dead throng that rnved like demons
FOR medicine. ran screaming forward
TO where the ships boat bumped mo-
notonOusly in it's rise and fall against
the vesers hull.
He hurled himself over the side,
cast the boat loose, and snatchIng at
the oars began to pull like q mailman
away from the ship. Two hundred
yards off he stood up and shook both
fists and yelled tauntingly-theyc could
not reach him now. But why not?
Suppose they should swim after him
He flung himself to the seat again and
piled the oars fur:ously.
And then slowly the strokes les
sened, and presently an car fell from
his grasp, and after that, with a moan,
he pitched forward into the bottom
of the boat-and all was blackness.

had got him. And he could not fight
there was no one to fght-he could
only die like trapped rat, while this
Drink-House Sam laughed a thousand
miles away!
Hin know, him know, him know
the words cOursed like fire through his
brain. He shouted aloud, and the
! nails Of his fingers in his clenched
fist bit into the palm of Lis hand. He
could not choke the life, as his own
went out, from this devil in Singapore
that he had never seen-he could only
die.
The uplifted arm, as though too
heavy for him. fell to his side, ghast-
ly whiteness spread over his face, he
reeled, clutched at the skylight for
support. and slipped prone upon the
deck. 1t was the nausea upon him
again.
The virulence Of the attack passed
lay where he had fallen, weak and
exhausted.
He was semi-delirious when he
stood up again, and hung Imply
against The skylight. Medicine-yes
that was what it meant-that stuff
there spilled all about. He put some
into his mouth. His eyes fastened on
the ships log open in front of him.
What kind of book was that? What
was it doing there? Had he been read
ing? He couldn't read when he was
sick.
1t was very strange. No; he re-
membered now. he had been writing In
1t. Whenever any Of the crew died
he wrote it down In the book.
And now the crew was all dead, and
