Sylvia's Song. The streams that wind amid the hills And, lost in pleasure, slowly roam, While their deep joy the valley fills, Even these will leave their mountain So may it, love, with others be, But I will never wend from thee. Th leaf forsakes the parent spray, The blossom quits the stem fast, The rose enamored bird will stray And have his eglantine at last. So may it, love, with others be, But I will never wend from thee. George Darley.

THE GADFLY ON BOOKS

If you have a passion for novelAmerican History, you will find Coniston, Mr. Winston Churchill's latest work, much to your taste. Richard Carvel and "The Crisis" were exponents of the revolutionary fever. While they exhaled a fair amount of skill, they can best be described as "good reading;" there has never been a display of high art, but his climaxes are so excellently fiery and his tricks of speech and action so catchy, that his novels are the wellof romantic actors and his themes have been worked to death. As a tired creature standing close to me remarked when shown "Conis"I don't want any more of his stories; too much war for hot weather." While Mr. Churchill's acare all closely related, we do become tired of his aptitude at rushus into a legion of strenuous events, whenever he becomes tired of expatiating upon his characters for all the world like a talkative showman. However, "Coniston" promises coninterest along other lines, and may secure for the author a new clientele among those men absorbinterested in all which pertains to politics or finance. The story deals primarily with the arrival, methods, and evil of the boss in American politics. Mr. Churchill dis

claims any intention of making his

hero the counterpart of any one politician of local fame. Naturally, each one will be busy fitting prominent politicians into this new niche, but the strain and methods characterthem all with the exception of some trifling difference of breeding or education. It is common talk that this leading character is a penof the present head of Tamhall.

A Doubter. I wonder (said the pessimist), Not meaning to offend, If there are men who like to fish Or if they just pretend. It may be sport to work all day To land one shiny fin. But tell me, you who play the game, Just where the fun comes in. The fisherman with ancient clothes And tackle bright and new Starts out before the break of day And walks an hour or two; Then he must stand and let the sun Beat down upon his back, And in the evening with three fish Or four he travels back. Perhaps he rents a heavy boat And for a weary day Pulls several times around the lake And calls the labor play, And when for all his work and pain He doesn't get a bite He must invent a batch of lies To tell the boys at night. I can (he grumbles) understand, If there is on the side An ice cold jug that to the face Is frequently applied, But just in fishing by itself, In landing three or four, I wonder if down in their souls The thing is not a bore.

Missed a Grand Chance. We can deeply sympathize with the Vienna man who was challenged to fight 151 duels. A man would have to take more than a passing interest in any cause to be anxious to die for it 151 times in one day, but as only his honor was involved he didn't feel like standing up to be shot at that many times. It may be great for the honor, but it is mighty poor for the digestion to have a man trying to give a good imiof a sieve and partially succeedBut as we understand the Euroduel there was not much danger of that. In fact, if all accounts are true he would have been safer on the field of honor than at home, for at the latter place he might catch the measles or the whooping cough. On the whole it looks to us as though the gentleman in declining has overa bet. Think what a figure with the ladies the hero of 151 duels would have cut.

HILE with us the church and state are separate and

should so continue, the Christian church is nevertheless a powerful agency in the support of a free state. It

presided at the birth of the republic and has been its

faithful guardian angel from that hour until now. It inculcates among the great body of the people that wholesome respect for the rights of men, THAT REGARD FOR LAW AND ORwithout which the state cannot long survive. "The United States," said De Tocqueville, "must be religious to be free. Furthermore," said he, "DESPOTISM may govern without religious faith, but LIBERTY cannot." The socialistic tendency in certain quarters has not escaped the atof the most casual observer of current events. Its growth canbe viewed except with concern, for it bodes no good to our country. The church may well concern itself with all those things which affect the temporal welfare of this great people. It may well concern itself with those things which menace the state, which tend to JEOPARDTHE INSTITUTIONS which came to us from the hands of our fathers. The movement is yet in its incipient stages, and it is well that its pernicious influence should be understood. Socialism is at war with our most cherished traditions. It is hostile to the enlightened principles of our growth as a great people. It is a peril to our social and industrial development. IT WOULD PARAINDIVIDUAL INITIATIVE, which has been the most potent factor in our upbuilding. Here, amid the unsurpassed advanwhich a kind Providence has placed at our hands, the individual counts for more than anywhere else beneath the sun. Here, no matter how humble his station, he is able to devote his genius for accomplishthings, for subduing the wilderness, for building great cities, for spanning the continent with the evidence of his power, for improving his environment and making better the home and stronger the state. But this were endowment enough. It has been the touchstone of OUR NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT. It has given us countless communities, happy, self reliant, prosperous, brave and patriotic. Soseeks to level down and NOT TO LEVEL UP. It is alike at war with the best interests of both capital and labor. It seeks to restrict each in the exercise of its natural functions. It puts limitations upon each which are contrary to American genius and spirit. In the United States the laborer of today becomes the capitalist of tomorrow. Such has been our experience from the beginning until now, and it will be history of tomorrow. Neither constitutions nor statutes, though they were framed by men with the wisdom of Solomon, can establish and maintain EQUALAND ABSOLUTE JUSTICE among men. We must look to the persuasive power and influence of the Christian church to bring

them to a complete realization of their true relationship to each other;

to their primary duty to deal fairly with one another, to carry into the various relations of life the principles of that brief and splendid code,

the Golden Rule. No political law can maintain ENDURING relations of amity between capital and labor. No HUMAN law can bring them into such harmony as perpetually to avoid friction and collision. The Christian church can do more than all the measures framed by the hand of man to maintain industrial peace, for it teaches the BROTHOF MAN and inspires men with a sense of justice and fair play which is the ultimate foundation of good relations. IF MEN DO NOT HAVE WITHIN THEM THE SPIRIT OF LOVE AND JUSTICE, IF THEY DO NOT HAVE IN THEIR BREASTS THE SPIRIT OF DIVINE LAW, THERE IS LITTLE HOPE OF ENDURING CONCORD.

Philanthropy and Business By Dr. FREDERICK A. CLEVELAND of New York

HILANTHROPY and accountancy have a direct relation in

fact, one which requires CO-OPERATION. In a society like our own philanthropy must deal through institutions and organically take on corporate forms. It has estates to

be administered and corporate functions to be exercised and controlled.

ADMINISTRATIVE CONTROL is the professional field of ac-

countancy.

Now, a philanthropic institution differs from a commercial or joint

stock company chiefly in this, that the element of PROPRIETARY

CONTROL is lacking. In such a society there are no stockholders

and therefore no proprietors to whom the trustees are bound to report;

there is no one by whom the acts of the trustees are to be reviewed. The beneficiaries have no claims which may be enforced; neither have donors any guarantee that the terms of their gifts or bequests will be complied with except such guarantees as are found in the integrity AND ACCOUNTABILITY of the trustees. In the past corporate trusteeship has been too lightly regarded. It has been customary for religious and philanthropic enthusiasts, as well as designing promoters, to seek out men of reputation as stool pigeons to sit on corporate boards. When asking persons of prominence to ac-

Making the Shy Girl Talk. The girl who knows herself to be tongue tied, though she regrets it, need not despair of popularity. Nobody is socially more disagreeable and more dreaded than a woman who talks too much, monopolizing the conversation and giving no one else a chance to speak. People fly from this overgifted and aggressive talker. A mere chatteris equally disliked. A good listener is always sure of appreciation. If you can but master the fine art of listening to each person with an air of deep injust as if there were nobody else at the moment in the wide world and as if your greatest wish were to understand what the other is trying to tell you, you will have the effect of talking well. All that is really necesis not to let your attention wanand at the right moment in the right places make some brief rejoinder or affirmation. You need never fear that you will le thought too silent if you listen well and say yes or no at proper intervals. A good listener is never a bore, while a great talker freently gains that unhappy distinction. irls are sometimes tongue tied beof indifference. A bashful manup to a certain point, is attractive, but when it has its root in a hampering elf consciousness which makes one awkward and clumsy or surly or defiit is a fatal handicap.

Blunder of Democrats. According to the idea of many leadcitizens the Democrats of Indiana made a monumental blunder when

they included in their state platform

a declaration for a tariff for revenue only. Commenting on this, CongressJames K. Watson says: "If they had declared for tariff reand stopped there they would have been in a much better position to wage a campaign. By declaring for a tariff for revenue only they put themselves on record as indorsing the issue upon which Grover Cleveland was elected president. When Clevewas a candidate Indiana resoundwith the cry of a tariff for revenue only, and after Cleveland was elected soup-houses were opened in all of the leading cities of the state. "It will be an easy matter for Reorators in Indiana this year to point out the intimate connection between tariff for revenue only and soup-houses. The Democratic leaders in congress are wiser than the Demoleaders in Indiana. No one has heard John Sharp Williams declare for tariff for revenue only. His cry is for tariff revision.

FREAK "BUBBLE" IN TOWN

Only Way. "He was badly injured in a French duel." "What did he stumble over?"

Hammond is used to about anyin the way of an automobile, but the machine that stopped in front of Summers Pharmacy last night was certainly a freak. It was made by the Holsman people, and was being delivered by one of their representto Dr. Shafer of LaPorte.

About a hundred bystanders, inDr. Sharrer, who is an auto enthusiast, gathered to see the fine points of the wagon. It was a small runabout entirely without gears the shaft from the motor being connectwith the large narrow wheels by a heavy wire rope that gave the machine its odd appearance. There were no foot levers and the speed was controlled by a small lever attached

to the tiller. The entire mechanism of the machine was throughout very simple, yet at the same time it was built for speed, judging from the way the "chuffer"' hit the pike for the south.
