TO BE BURIED IN THE OCEAN. With fitting ceremonies the battle- ship Maine will be towed out of Ha- vana harbor today, convoyed by a fleet of maval vessels, to deep water in the straits of Florida, where she will find her last resting place, The old ship will not be rudely; sunk but will be given due recognition by the naval vessels present, and go down while broadsides are booming. With reference to this event and its relation to the nation, the New York Herald offered the following sugges- tion ‘It seems fitting that in an hour so filled with the pathos of loss and hange the nation should mark the burial of the Maine and bonor the memory of those that perished with her. At the dppointed day and for a brief moment the wheels of trade should stop, the roar of commerce ease, and thus the thoughts of our people be turned to the lost sanctuary and to the bluejackets who gave up all in defemce of home and country.” ‘Whatever others may think or feel about this event, it will awaken the deepest feeling of love and reverence those who were lost, in the hearts heir kindred and friends, The en- tire nation recognizes that noble lives were sacrificed on that day.

The time to learn to save money is in youth and the longer the self-denial necessery to accomplish it is delayed the harder it is to make a start. There is one universally recognized unwtitten law and that is that one must first earn money to know the value of it; and it is the knowledge of the worth of a dollar which makes workers prudent and saving. This is an old chestnut: “A penny saved is a penny earned”’; but it is something more—it is the first lesson iu economy, the first step toward thriftines: the habit upon which founded. A bank account, honestly acquired, has more than a money value, for it gives a man stability and confidence in the battle of life. The bank account asks no favors, it demands no sacri- fices and in time of trouble it is ever at hand. Once firmly established the saving habit will Jead on ultimately to influence. The hardest thing about saving mon- ey is the start—the first thousand is the most difficult to amass of the ‘whole fortune. ‘The voung man with his first dollar saved has entered upon a career if persisted in which will make him self- dependent and respected, ESPERANTO PAMPHLET FREE.

The excuse was sufficlent; Theodore was not acceptable as a juror because of fear he would distract the attention of the jury. The funny thing about a political game is that every man in it doesn't seem to realize when he has reached the bitter end! Germany is going to use government monopolies to fight the trusts. How much better will that make conditions for the people. Roosevelt may be a second Lincoln; but Lincoln uttered that effective warning about swapping horses while crossing a stream. LaFollette is out against both Roose- velt and Taft. He charges the first with not enforcing the anti-trust laws during his administrations.

Just think what was done in two hours’ time recently. The au- dience rode ‘through the finest avenue in Los Angeles with magnificent pep- per trees on both sides, visited the os- trich, alligator and pigeon farms, see- ing hundreds of thousands of pigeons, hundreds of alligators from a day old to 500 years, and scores of ostriches; and saw them all fed; was then taken to Catalina island and given an auto ride over its hiils and a sall in the glass-bottomed boats through which the saw the gardens of the sea and the living firhes in their habitats. To have this ten-cent pleasure in the natural way would take two weeks’ time and at least $250. I do not know what eclse 1 have seen, but the joy. of this balances many disappeintments. Verily, the moving pictures are fre- quently a great treat. Man appears to be ever ready.to do 2 mean act, and slow to do a noble one. Some people lose sleep planning to get cven with an enemy, when they might forget him and wake up to find him ihelr friend, A revengeful spirit is one of the worst enemies that can be harbored. and it makes more trou- ble for its host than it can for anyone else. Some people who profess to be plous—to be hiving in Love and having Love live in them—hate others and seek to do them injury. The most ig- noble spirit in life is that which is always striking "hack.

One tradition alone remains in_the popular mind regarding St. Pat- rick, and the least important of any connected with that good man. It is surely a pity that his reputed encount- er with the snakes of the Emerald Isle should dispossess in our thought the story of his splendid service to Christianity in those early years. The noble lad who was stolen by pirates from. his father's country. place, car- ried to. Ireland, sold among strangers, to become at length a great teacher and friend to his adopted people, de- serves a day of his own in the calen- dar. Surely all lovers of righteousness can salute the memory of brave St Patrick. Of saints in general . we cherish the impression that they are scarcely hu- man. For one thing they lived in a time long since past. About their heads the mists of antiquity have gathered in a halo that moderns cannot becom- ingly wear. They appear as ethereal, bloodless creatures rather than as real people with the sap of nature ram- ning in their veins. The stained-glass window saint which is the kind we are chiefly familiar with: is a being out of another sphere than our own. Most of us wouldn't really care to be saints of that sort even if we were able to fulfill the conditions. It is probably nearer the truth to believe that the saints were men and women of like passions with ourselves They had.their own battles to fight and their own temptations to oyercome. They got hungry and tired and, it may be, on occasions they lost their tempers. Beneath the mass of legends which seem to separate them from human fellowship we come upon quali- ties, desires, experiences which seal their kinship with - the rest of us. They were simply resolute souls who overcame their evil propensities, cruci- fied laziness, and worked mightily for the kingdom of God. It is good for ue to dwell in the company of thege great ones. We of the present age are go mightily afraid of being censidered saintly! Call a man sharp, strenuous, selfish—what you will-—but dom’t, if you value his friendship call him pious. Any undue amount of virtue appears even ignom- inious and Kipling’s Jonging for the place “where there aifft no Ten Com- mandments” is reckoned a smart sen- timent by hosts of people who aren’t really as bad as they would have us| believe, As a corrective for our mistaken notions of what sainthood really is let ‘'us know more of the spirit of the saints of old. We shall find that they were a pretty desirable sort of citizens after all. Who of us moderns would not be af once better and more interesting for a touch of the delicate honor of St. Dominie, the self sacri- fice of St. Francis or the spiritual fer- vor of St. Bernard? Nor need one look in valn for gen- uine saints in this present time. They may be found everywhere if one puts any heart into the search. No visible mimbus s about thelr heads, they are not living in cloisters nor following: any fantastic- ideal. They bave no thought of making a saintly impres- sion but make it in spite of them: Children Ory s FOR FLETCHER'S ASTORIA of snow, which meant no callers from the village people. The Bhakespeare and the Bible were given the place of honer, followed by all the others of better rank, and last of all the big dictionary of which Uncle James made frequent use. He often sald a man need never feel poor, if he had a dic- tionary in the house, “Dear old man,” sighed his niece, how he used to laugh over that jol @s he repeated it. Well, I do not be- lieve he ever had much money any- where. The girls certainly did not find much, and seemed greatly disappoint- ed at thers being so little to divide.

I am afraid he was not very happy in her home.” No mooner said than done and a gleaming pair of sharp scissors soon severed the fastenings which held the covers in place. The dictionary was quite obstinate in giving up its cover and recelved a vigorous shake at the hands of Miss May before it wak cleared from its surrounding cloth which was sewed on with great paing- taking. On shaking it, however, out flew from between its leaves geveral bits of paper, which tidy Miss May gathered up carelessly enough until one caught her oye.
