Th1 ftorv of Je.tn Valjean. hero of Victor Huso's "1 MiM-rabl s rinir exhibited in th "movi at the ( ; r this wr k, to tile point ju.t now when iiiore or less public, interest i moving a!nK th line of what in best to do with our criminals. The "Minvif-s" are not exactly true to the Hugo text, but ar- near enoush to it for practi'-ai purjos-.s as near, jerhap, as the dramatization of a riovel ever come?. It retains the lesfon. of course, Jf-un Valjean should ier have been classed a?? a criminal to bcirj with. lie was decidedly a victim of circumstances, ahd. one inisht say, of necessity. Stealing a loaf of bread In the hope of cheating ttarvation, when work is unavailable, IU.m in rather poorly as an excuse for tending a dutiful son to the galleys, especially when the one whom that pon hopes to rave, from starvation is Jiis mother. But where Valjean wins out is in the rxhibitlon of the metal within him. when given a chance. He left the galleys fitted by association, and a disposition for revenue, for a life of viciousne.!". And but for the tactfulness und encouragement of a kindly priest, liis criminal record would no doubt not have been at an end Jo soon. That taetf ulne?s and enrourafioinoiit awakened in Valjean the qualities of a Tnanly man In very ."Ifon degree, and lienceforth. though always a haunted fugitive, his was a life of sacrifice. Compare Valjean with Javert and take your choice. Javert, detective hound, always on Valjean trail, is a very good illustration of the character if officials, and for that matter, of citizen?, with whom punishment for crime is almost a delight. He just pimply coold not let up. Valjean had once stolen a loaf of bread. Hut whether it be the. larceny of a loaf of bread or murder in the first legrec. it is not always true that the man w ho does it is all bad. One need not bo an apologist for crime in order to treat the criminal half way white. Jt is not necessary to turn them loose, nor is it even expedient, to give them all a Jvuw Valjean's chance. The majority do not deserve it. As a creature of Hugo's imagination. Valjean pictures an exceptional case, under exception conditions, yet a case not without its counterparts in real life. FARM LOANS. The rural credits law demanded by CPres. Wilson, at the present session of congress is expected to be on the ftatuto books by May. The conditions the law is intended to cover are of a character fully to warrant the president's insistence. The, figures in w hieh the conditions re expressed are enormous. There lire t L00i.00e farmers who own $4 0,1)00,000, 000 worth of larm property And produce anually $,500,000,000 tvorth of crops. They owe $6,000,C00.000, on which they pay an annual interest charge, of $:10,000.00.. This represents with commissions and rejiewal charges an interest rate of right per cent as against about half that rato paid by industrial corporations, railroads and municipalities. This interest charge is also double that paid by the farmers of Germany, who enjoy the benefits of a governmental credit sstem similar to that proposed to be established in this country. The German farmers pay bont four per cent in a c ountry where J he commercial rate is high. Th -i American farmer pays about eight per exit in a country where the commercial rate is low. It is apparent on the lace of the figures that the American farmers carry an unnecessary and Mnjust burden because of the nature of heir loans, being largely on long time. vhieh makes it impossible for lenders Jo turn their money frequently. Two remedies for this condition are proposed. Mie prov ides for long time loans with the creation of a market for the securities. The other prcvid'S for thort time loans based on cooperative credit. These loans would be issued In small amounts and secured by a roup of men holding a limited area .f land. Roth .are In operation in 1'urope nn'I seem to work satisfactorily.

Of Itself this should be ample! reason for the repeal of the free toll clause, but there is another, though the president does not refer to It. ! i The other reason is that the sub- : sidy idea is wrong in principle and ! contrary to the policy of the present administration, which in effect would place every tub on Its own bottom. I'rotective tariffs have been removed where they gave artificial profits and created monopolies and the great privileged trusts, which were assuming to dictate the policies of government, are in process of disintegration. It would be Inconsistent to subsidize American coatwise vessels for the purpose of giving it an advantage over the shipping of the world and a return to the policy of special privilege. Nono would benefit by such exemption but the coastwise shipowners themselves, as it is not the habit of ! possessors of special privileges to share the benefits of exemption or protection with their, patrons. Discrimi- ! nation in their favor would Pimply add the cost of the tolls to their profit.. The canal is the property of the United States government and its benflits should be equably shared by the people. Coastwise shipowners would get theirs indirectly the same as ether people. They are not entitled to special favors. a good ixvi:stmi:xt. The extension work of a religious or civic society means carrying the war into Africa. In a way it is the most effective means of attaining the desired results. It is in line with the new church movement which is intended to carry religion to the people Instead of waiting for the people to come to the church. Such an institution as the Young Women's Christian association largely depends for Its erriciency upon ertension work. What is done in the house is good as far as it goes, but it does I not go far enough. It lacks the ele- j ment of publicity which extension

cial help frc-m the public. Two thousand (lollr.ro ig needed for the campaign, and the public is asked to provide it. The call is an exceedingly modest one considering the scope of the work and the possibilities in the way of results. Much as has been done by the Y. W. C. A. for the young women of South Bend the proportions of the task assumed by the association increase rather than diminish. New opportunities, new fields of endeavor are continually opening. The number of prospects steadily increases. The work is substantially founded and ettlclently organized, but it must have the cooperation of the public to aceompifsh what it has set out to do. South Bend people have never withheld their support from any causes of j this kind. They will not fail the Y. i W. C. A. at this time. The money will ! be profitably invested in the elevation of those standards upon which the community depends for its good citizenship.

This is to certify that I have rcV.d the Seven Minute Sermon on the Golden Text for Sunday. Feb. fis published In the'Xews-Timcs. Name Address Lesson: Darkness ami Light. Luke 11:11-20, S3 -30. Golden Text: Look therefore whether the light tliat is in thee he not darkness. Luke 11:35. ! DAKlvXKSS AM) LIGHT, j 1. There Are IJoth Darkness "ami i Light in Most Men. In Jesus' teach- ; ing lie recognizes varying degrees r goodness or badness, in men; some are Just bad enough not to bo good, while others are filled with evil spirits, and still others a.'e just good enough not to be classed among; the bad, although the light that is in them mav be dim. The terms light and darkness, in the j text, have reference, of course, to mor- j al good and moral evil, And it seems that most men have some light In j them, and yet w ith so much darkness j that the light Is not able to shine. In j other words, while all men are born j sinners, yet some turn out to be greater nlnners than others. ' In most un-! regenerated men we find an admix- ) ture of bad and good. Paul puts into I the mouth of the. average sinner these words. "When I would do good, evil is present with me but I see another law in my members warring , against the law of my mind." Not only do sinners have this experience, j but many also who profess religion. 2. .Some Men Appear to Do All Dark. Whether all men are born totally depraved is a question for dispute, but there should be no dispute, on the fact, that some men do attain to total depravity. It is a law of sin, that the wicked get worse and worse. : deceiving and being deceived. When j evil thoughts are encouraged and de- j velop into deeds, and this is kept up j for any length of time, a person be- . comes possessed with evil; his nature becomes dark and benighted and there is no light in him. Some are so cruel. they have no bowels of compassion, they know neither love nor pity. ?ome J nro sn rrppih for monev that it is i ciesire, as mu?t3 im uum r,'"" ti-iev nennmire them, and the greater degree of wickedness to which they T I attain, the better they are pieaseu. i Some are as cruel as Herod of old. who, to put one little babe out of the . way, whom he thought to be a rival j for his throne, gave instructions to j massacre all the babies in the conn- j try. Some seem to be glad to witness ; the defeat, or the sufferings of others, j and especially when they can fatten j themselves upon their disasters. ? tIialu Mini Ifiivt tin IJrrlit Mut De Careful to Watch Against Darkness. The powers of darkness are so subtle that one is never safe except when watching and praying against temptation. Jesus addresses the words j of our text to his disciples, and their j successors, that they are to watch whether even the light that is in j them be not darkness. So deceptive i are some forms of evil that we need j to watch that we are not unconsciou i' overcome with them, for they have t.AAn rrlertM e r miinv !l 1 1 1 1 f 1 n titles that they SOund as if they stood for virtues. !

If we are Influenced by jealousy, or , selfishness, we have a right to think j that the light in us is darkness. I. Some Doubtless Are All Light. 1 As a working theory it is perhaps unsafe to conclude that we are ever free from the danger of doing wromr, so that the best of us need to be on our guard. There are. however, those whose characters have become so influenced and impregnated with love of God. that their natures are radiated with the lUht of the Holy Spirit. John speaking of God. in whom there is no ' darkness at all. urges Christians to fellowship with him. and thus "walk : in the light as h is in the light." and that if we do that, "we have fellowship ! one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his son cleaTiseth us from all sin." Thi then is our security, to walk in the light of God. to fellowship ' with him. and with one another, and the light in us will never he darkness. (Copyright. 1913. by E. S. Davidson.)

A man in love is like the x in an algebraic equation; he's the unknown quantity. But a woman in love is like a popular, well-advertised article; everybody knows the brand. Falling in love may be likened to taking a drink; first it stimulates, then it intoxicates. A home without a baby is on a par with driving a horse without holding the reins; going some place and getting nowhere. You can fool all of the women some of the time and some of the women all of the time, but he who tries to fool all the women all of the time will come to the same sad end as the boy who wanted to learn how the beea make honey.

' Dr. H. M. Frieman, Surgeon Dentist," read the lettering on the groundl glass. As Helen opened the door, a bell rang shrilly until she entered and closed it after her. For a moment she stood uncertainly in the little reception rodm. Then the doctor, white-coateu, instrument in his hana, the otfice door. "Oh. good afternoon. and with an appeared at Mrs. Curtis, I'll gee you in Just a few minutes. I'm not quite through yet." Helen took a chair by the table and turned over the several month's old magazines. There were a number of humorous weeklies, much thumbed, among them. Evidently people who were waiting for the dentist did not care for any heavier literature than that offered by a comic paper. The peculiar odor of mingled drugs and antiseptics that is always part of th" atmosphere of a dentist's otfice. tilled the room. In vain Helen tried to force down that Iluttering tremulous feeling that this odor and the nearness to the dental chair always brought. She dreaded it so! Her teeth were peculiarly sensitive. The last work on them hurt her cruelly and she shrank from pain with all the horror of a child. And today there were to be two fillings and one tooth drawn. She was to take gas for the extraction, and Warren had promised to come up at 4:30 to to be with her then. It was a quarter to four now, and the work was to be done on the fillings until Warren came. From the other room now came a moan and a woman's voice, "Oh, doctor don't Oh, oh:" Then the doctor's voice. "Hold still now Just a second longer. There now this won't hurt." The moan had not helped to soothe Helen's own quivering nerves. .She tried to keep her mind on the comic paper, but she read one of the jokes three times without realizing what It said. It was a midsummer number. How strange the jokes of a midsummer magazine seem in midwinter! There were the usual squibbs about the ice man, the scanty bathing suit and the summer widower. "Now. that's all today." came from the doctor's room. "If that cotton filling hurts vou you can take it out. Dut it's better left in." "Then Tuesday at ten I think you said?" asked the woman. .Helen's heart heat faster. She knew now he would soon bo ready for her. The woman came through, put on her wraps which were lying on a chair beside Helen, and hurried out. "Now, Mrs. Curtis," and the doctor appeared once more at the door. Helen went in, laid aside her wraps, and ot up into the chair. Just the sight of the shining instruments made her sick with fear. she could hear him washing his Tiands behind the screen. "Well, we're getting a real touch of winter todav," he remarked cheerfully. It is a prevailing belief among dentists and physicians that some commonplaee remark tends to distract the patient's thought, when as a rule it irritates them by the very obviousness of its intention. Helen leaned back and closed her eyes while with brisk indifference he niarft. ready his instruments. "Now just a moment, please." as he quickly adjusted a rubber shield in her mouth. "Just a little wider there!" For half an hour he worked on the filling. Except for an occasional moan. Helen made no outcry. But her hands were clenched tight on the arms of her chair and her feet braced rigidly against the footrest. Dr. Frieman was most conscientious and painstaking in his work, and while he made every effort to minimize the pain, vet his manner was not very sympathetic. And now as the instrument touched a nerve, with a stifled cry Helen put up her hand. "Don't do that:" he warned her coldly. "Don't catch my hand or you'll make the instrument slip." Aud again Helen clenched the arnis

Then she recalled what she had once been told was the greatest of all helps in a dental chair to try to realize how little was really being clone. That it is only because the work Is on the teeth that it hurts so. Could the samo things be done anywhere else it would "hardly hurt at all. Now would there be any pain in the tooth if the nerve was dead It was a tiny nerve that caused all the pain just the touching and jarring of this nerve. She tried to think of it In this way, and somehow it made the pain a little less. Suddenly the reception door was opened and the bell rang shrilly until it closed again. It was Warren. The doctor left her for a second and went to tho door. "We'll be through in just a few moments, Mr. Curtis; I'm polishing off the last filling." Helen was painfully conscious of how ridiculous she looked with her head back and her mouth wide open and with the glaring light from the window falling full upon her. She hoped Warren would stay in the reception room for a few moments, so he wouldn't see her like this. But he came in and stood close by the chair looking down at her. "Getting along all right?" She made a faint motion of her head. Oh, if he would only go away if he wouldn't look at her now' And she couldn't speak, for the doctor was holding- her mouth open firmly. "Now. a little wider, please; I can't see half if you keep your mouth closed. There, that's better." Helen was forced to stretch open her mouth even more. Oh. how hideous she mu ;t look: And she was so helpless: Oh, why did Warren persist in standing there? At length the doctor laid down the instrument and took out the rubber shield. Helen sat up and smoothed her hair. "Oh. let me get up and fix my hair and rest a moment before you give me that." she pleaded nervously, as the doctor made ready the apparatus for giving the gas. "Nonsense," said Warren, "what difference does it make about your hair? And it isn't going to be any strain rn you you won't know anything about it." "Now Just lean back please," said the doctor with professional indifference. "Oh, no not just yet:" Helen looked up terrified at the tube he was about to place over her face. She had never taken gas before and now she was filled with the horror of the unknown. With a "helpless gesture she reached out her hand to Warren. MNnw don't be foolish." as he, took her hand and held it firmly. "It'll be all over in a moment and you won't feel anything." "Just lie back please," repeated the doctor. With a sense of helpless terror Helen lay back and the rubber tube was placed over her face. Desperately she held to Warren's hard as she breathed the sickening odor of pa?. Then came a soothing, throbbing sensation. She could hear the doctor's voice saying. "Dreathe deeper", but it seemed strangely far away. Everything was confused and vaue. And then came a curious feeling as though she were floating awav out Into space. "Now you're all right: Take this and rinse out your mouth." Helen opened her eyes with a start. The dortor was placing a gins In her hand. Warren was standing on the other side. "Now, that wasn't hard jou didn't know anvthing about it." "Oh. is it out?" "Of course it's out!" "Put I feel so strange and dizzy." She -was filled with a hysterical desir to laugh and cry. She supposed that was the effects of the gas. She wanted to hold to Warren to cling to him and sob away this curious feeling. He took her home in a tail, and for
