A little while back I dropped into a
secondhand bookstore, and while rum.
maging among the dusty books opened
one which contained the dream of Mos
lem Hindoo. The dream was that he
saw the human raeeIed out to its vari-
Gus fortune; first he saw men bitted
and eurbed, and the reins went back
to an iron hand. His dream changed
on and on, until at last he saw men
led by reins that came from the brain
and went back into an unseen hand.
The dream expressed the type Of gov
enments. The first a government of
despOtisms, palpable iron; and the last.
the government of the United States
a government of brains, of public opin-
ion.

arrived in the United States a very dis

the editor of the London Times. At
that time Delane was the oracle of the
newspaper profession in Europe. Al
friend asked the editor proprietor Of
the paper to accompany him to hear a
lecture by Phillips. He declined the
invitation at first but on the urgent
request Of his friend he consented. The
friend asked the famous editor how he
liked the lecture and if he was pleased.

To cherish good thoughts and to have
liberal spirit towards men and women
Of our own race is some positive proof
Of culture, education, and refinement.
Our progress is steady and permanent,

part Of many to pursue the worthwhile
things Of life We should be proud, be-
cause they are making sacrifices we hit

bright tints of goodness that cause
