Heart to Heart Talks. By EDWIN A. NYE.

THE WAT OF THE CROSS.

X dr (o!d lady want me to wrtta

omathing on the ministry of pain.

j gbe asks why there should be pain In ftne world and, being here, bow it can

(minister to good.

) Of coarse I do not know why pain tfcboald be in the world except as X can

bee Its ases.

1 The poet says, "Ifo pain the body Suffers that the soul may not grow y," which is to say the spirit may benefit by the travail of the body. By 'overcoming, the spirit may strengthen

itself. j A brutal view? Mot necessarily. But if so it la In

"eritable. None of us can escape pain

of the body or suffering of the mind.

In every life there must be sorrow and

change and loss and decay.

How shall one grow strong except one shoulders his cross? Bow find the

virtue of endurance save by depriva tion and agony of mind?

Being human, there Is no other way.

You may or may not accept the religious view. You may or may not take up the challenge of the Nazarene

"He that would be my disciple, let

him deny himself and follow me." But You cannot escape the vicissitudes of mortal life. If pain and struggle do not come to you today they will come nevertheless. The blight of loss no less than the joy of increase is part of your mortal heritage. How will you meet the crisis? Stoically? That may be for some rare souls. Certain it is that, no matter bow yon may strive and cry out, yon cannot change the decrees of destiny. Why not try patience and submission and courage and faith? By so dolog you transform the struggle from despair to hopefulness. You give your brave spirit a chance to fight its battles. And that chance for high courage is one of the ministries of pain. Why not accept that view? Toucansot disdain your trouble. But you need not cringe, and cower under its load. Pain is a barrier against which fortitude and patience and faith may cast themselves and in the spirit of the overcoming life become valiant, though chastened. "Whom the Lord loveth he ctaastentetb and scourge th every son whom he recelveth." That is one way. It is the way of the cross.

New Government For Richmond? It Is quite probable now that after this year the affairs of the city of Richmond will be administered under the commission form of government. YeBterday Stotsenburg's measure providing home rule for third claBS cities, which includes Richmond, Anderson, East Chicago, Elkhart, Hammond, Lafayette, Marion, Logansport and Muncie. passed the senate by a large majority, indicating that it has more than favorable prospects for passage in the house. So far as known Governor Ralston entertains no opposition to the measure. Richmond at least has no objections to having municipal commission government in Indiana experimented with in the third class cities, for this system has long been advocated in Richmond, and only a few days ago was officially indorsed by the board of public works. Remedies for the three greatest evils in the present system of municipal government are offered in the Stotsenburg measure: First, abolition of party politics in city elections; second, simplifying the management of municipal affairs by reducing the number of executive officers, and, third, depriving municipal officers of their arbitrary power of granting public franchises, by extending to the people the initiative and referendum on such matters. The Stotsenburg bill provides that the city shall be governed similar to a large corporation Its executive officers shall Include a mayor and four commissioners, who will combine the functions now exercised by the city council and the board of public works. Of course there will be the usual compliment of minor officials and an appointed police chief and a fire chief, but the sole legislative and executive power will be in the hands of the mayor and his four commissioners. For any third class city to establish the" commission form of government, which is copied after the Des Moines plan, a special election must be held, after a petition for such an election has been signed by one-fourth of the registered voters. (The Palladium believes it is correct in the number of signatures required to such a petition, although it has not been fully Informed In this respect). If at such an election the citizens declare for the commission form of government another election is held in November for the election of a mayor and four commissioners. Under the StotBenburg bill's provisions party emblems do not appear on a municipal election ballot and any citizen may become a. candidate for mayor or commissioner, providing he ob- ' tains the required number of signatures, Just how many the Palladium is not informed, to a petition to place his name on the ballot. The citizens then vote for the men they believe best qualified for the offices and the five candidates receiving the highest number of votes are declared elected. To guarantee the citizens that the five men they have chosen to administrate the affairs of the city will properly perform the duties intrusted to them a recall of city officers is provided for in the Stotsenburg bill. There may be defects in the system of government provided in the measure which passed the senate yesterday, but Richmond citizens, as a whole, are willing to take their chances in experimenting with the new plan, secure in the belief that it can be no worse than the present syBtem of city government and reasonably confident that it will prove much superior, because of the success it has met with in cities in a large number of Western and Southern states.

CROSS OR FEVERISH HALF-SICK CHILDREN

Mean their bowels are wasteclogged; liver sluggish and stomach sour.

NEWS OF THE LABOR WORLD

Your child isn't naturally cross, irritable and peevish, Mother! Examine the tongue; if coated, it means the little one's stomach Is disordered, liver Inactive and Its thirty feet of bowels clogged with foul, decaying waste. Every mother realizes after giving delicious "Syrup of Figs" that this is the ideal laxative and physic for children. Nothing else regulates the little

one's tender stomach, liver and bowels

so effectually, besides they dearly love its delightful fig taste. For constipated bowels, sluggish liver, biliousness, or sour, disordered stomach, feveriehness, diarrhoea, Sore Throat, bad- breath or to break a cold, give one-half to a teaspoonful of "Syrup of r igs," and In a few hours all the clogged up, waste, sour bile, undigested food and constipated matter will gently move on and out of the system without griping or nausea, and you will surely have a well, happy and smiling child again shortly. With Syrup of Figs you are not drugging your children, being composed entirely of luscious figs, senna and aromatics it cannot be harmful. Full directions for children of all ages and for grown-ups plainly printed on the package. Ask your druggist for the full name, "Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna," prepared by the California Fig Syrup

Co. This is the delicious tasting, gen

uine old reliable. Refuse anything

else offered. (Advertisement)

THfllFTY NAPOLEON. Me Mad 8ur of Being Served With Honesty and Eeonomy. Emperor Napoleon I., dressed in plain clothes, often visited the markets of Paris In order to learn the current prices of food and find out whether his household officers served him with honesty and economy. In "Foreign Reminiscences" Richard Lord Holland, saya that this was only one illustration of the emperor's thrift and shrewdness. When the Tuilleries was being repaired Napoleon suspected that the upholsterer's charges were higher than they should be. So he asked one of bis ministers, who was with him, how much the ivory egg at the end of the bell rope ought to cost I do not know, was the answer. It shall be ascertained," said Napoleon. Thereupon he cut off the ivory handle, called for a valet, bade him dress himself in plain clothes. Inquire the price of such articles at several hops In Paris aod order a dozen as if for himself. The valet bought them for two-thirds of the price that the emperor had had to pay. Napoleon. Inferring that the same overcharge had been made in tlw other articles, deducted a third

Swift Was Dunce at School. Not only philosophers and divines, but some of the most trenchant satirists and brilliant humorists, were dull enough as boys. It has been said of Swift in bis best days that "he displayed either the blasting lightning of satire or the lambent and meteor-like caricatures of frolicsome humor." And yet this vigorous disputant was considered a fit subject for a fool's cap at school. Afterward at the Dublin university "he was by scholars esteemed a blockhead" who was denied his degree on his first application and obtained it with great difficulty on the second. London Standard.

JOHN McLURE HAMILTON. John McLure Hamilton, the noted American artist who was commissioned by King George to paint the picture of the coronation, was born in Philadelphia, January 31, 1853. After attending the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts he pursued his studies In Paris, Antwerp and other cities of Europs. Mr. Hamilton is best known as a portrait painter. He has spent the greater part of his professional life in England. He has painted the portraits of the late Mr. Gladstone, Cardinal Manning, Lord Leighton, Professor Tyndall and other notables.

An Architect's Ruse. A story is told of Sir Christopher Wren, the great English architect who built the town hall of Windsor, England. It appears that a fidgety member of the corporation insisted that the roof required further support and wished more pillars to be added. Vainly did Sir Christopher assure him that the supposed danger was imaginary. The alarm became infectious, and the great architect was finally worried into adding the desired columns. Years rolled on, and In later times, when architect and patrons had passed away, cleaning operations on the roof revealed the fact that the supposed additional supports did not touch the roof by a couple of inches, though this was imperceptible to the gazers below. By this curious expedient did Sir Christopher pacify t!s critics while vindicating his own architectural skill to future generations.
