CHANGE IN ADDBE8S-When ordering a
aaang la the address, subscribers should be sore
to give their old aa well as their new address.
Taking the country as a whole, the
election just past brought an end to
more personal attacks than has been
usual in recent years. In New York
Mr. Roosevelt has been a target for a
remarkable fire of criticism, and he
has not taken it in silence by any
means. In Nebraska personalities
entered more largely than could have
been wished, mainly because of the
extreme personal vulnerability of the
two leading democratic candidates.
The mere publishing of Dahlman's
speeches and of Mr. Hitchcock's let
ters constituted "mud-throwing."
More genuine mud was used against
the republican candidate for governor
than against any other candidate,
however. So general has been the
disposition to pick personal flaws in
the candidates that many a man will
feel like falling back upon the Epicu
rean rule: A wise man will not enter
political life unless something extraor
dinary should occur. The free
man will take his free laugh at those
who are fain to be reckoned in the list
with Lycurgus and Solon. Lincoln
Journal.
COATLESS LAWYERS BARRED.
The lawyers of Rome, Ga., are said
to be greatly stirred up over an inva
sion of their ancient rights by the judi
ciary of that place. The edict has
gone forth that hereafter attorneys
musi not appear in the Roman forums
without their coats on, and the anguish
of spirit which the bar has suffered be
cause of this oppressive measure is said
to have been intense. On the day the
new rule went into effect the Hon. Sea
born Wright, the noted prohibition
advocate and a leading lawyer, very
nearly got himself into serious trouble
by coming into court without either
coat or necktie. By the aid of a rear
guard of friends he managed to beat
a hasty retreat in time to escape a fine
for contempt, but it was a close call.
From Law Notes.
INSURING NATURAL RE
SOURCES. With all the progress that has been
made in the conserving of natural re
sources, the Nation has not yet taken
the first great step in this direction, so
far as the saving of the forests is con
cerned. That first great step would
be a sufficient investment in the Forest
Service practically to insure the great
timber lands against fire. No matter
what that service would cost, within
the bounds of probability, the rate of
insurance, computed along the conven
tional lines of fire insurance estimates,
would be exceedingly low.
In the recent great fires in the
Northwest, covering a period of about
two weeks, the loss in matured timber
alone was approximately 200 million
dollars, and more than one hundred
lives were lost. This destroyed timber
would have been equal to the average
cut of timber in the whole country for
two years.or 80 billion board feet. We
deplore the enormous and increasing
consumption of timber in this country
in view of the inadequate provision
for replacing it to any great extent by
reforestation or original planting, yet
here in one series of fires enough tim
ber to have supplied the cutters for
two years has been destroyed. The
fires could have been prevented and
should have been prevented.
The fault is not with the Forest
Service, but with Congress for not
making that service adequate to pat
rol all the great forest reserves and,
in co-operation with private patrols, to
cover the great forest areas throughout
the country. The stopping of fire de
struction is one of the most imperative
duties of the government As a policy
it is merely that the wise business man
who can have fire protection at a low
rate of insurance, with the distinction
that the insurance cost to the govern
ment would be very much lower than
it is to the private individual for pro
perty of relative value. Kansas City

LIBERTY AND THE LAW.
The history of liberty is a history of
law. Men are not free when they
merely conceived what their rights
should be. They are not set free by
philosophies of right Their theories
of the rights of man may even lead
them astray, may make them break
their hearts -in pursuit of hopes they
can never realize, objects they can
never grasp, ideals that will forever
elude them. Nothing is more practi
cal than the actual body of liberty.
It consists of definitions based upon
experience, or rather of practices that
are of the very essence of experience.
A right is worth fighting for only when
it can be put into operation. It can
be put into operation only when its
scope and limitation can be accurate
ly defined in terms of legal procedure;
and even then it may amount to noth
ing if the legal procedure be difficult,
costly or complicated. Liberty of
speech is defined in the law of slander
and of libel, and becomes mere license
against which there is no protection if
the law of slander or of libel be difficult
or costly or uncertain to apply. Lib
erty of the person is defined only when
the law has carefully enumerated the
circumstances in which it may be vio
lated, the circumstances in which ar
rests and imprisonments and army
drifts and all the other limitations up
on which society may insist for its pro
tection or convenience, will be lawful.
Its reality, its solidarity, consists in the
definiteness of the exceptions, in the
practicality of the actual arrange
ments. And it is part of its definiteness and
reality that liberty is always personal,
never aggregate; always a thine inher
ing in individuals taken singly, never
in groups or corporations or communi
ties. The indivisible unite of society
is the individual. He is also the in
digestible unit He cannot be merged
or put into combination without being
lost to liberty, because lost to inde
pendence. Make of him a fraction in
stead of an integer and you have bro
ken his spirit, cut off the sources of life.
That is why I plead so earnestly for
the individulization of responsibility
within the corporation, for the estab
lishment of the principle by law
that a man has no more right to do
wrong as a member of a corporation
than as an individual. Establish that
principle, cut away the undergrowth
of law that has sprung up so rankly
about the corporation and made of it
an ambush and covert, and it will give
every man the right to say no again,
to refuse to do wrong, no matter who
orders him to do it It will make a
man of him. It is in his interest no
less than in the interest of society,
which must see it that wrong doing is
put a stop to.
We are upon the eve of a great re
construction. It calls for creative
statesmanship as no age has done since
that great age in which we set up the
government under which we live, that
government which was the admiration
of the world until it suffered wrongs to
grow up under it which have made
many of our own compatriots question
the freedom of our institutions and
preach revolution against thera I do
not fear revolution. I do not fear it
even if it comes. I have unshaken
faith in the power of America to keep
its self-possession. If revolution comes,
it will come in peaceful guise, as it
came when we put aside the crude
government of the confederation and
created the great federal state which
governed individuals, not corporations,
and which has been these hundred and
thirty years our vehicle of progress.
And it need not come. I do not be
lieve for a moment that it will come.
Some radical changes we must make
in our law and practice. Some recon
structions we must push forward which
a new age and new circumstances im
pose upon us. But we can do it all in
calm and sober fashion, like statesmen
and patriots. Let us do it also like
lewyers. Let us lend a hand to make
the structure symmetrical, well pro
portioned, solid, perfect. Let no fut
ure generation have cause to accuse us
of having stood aloof, indifferent, half
hostile or of having impeded the reali
zation of right Let us make sure
that liberty shall never repudiate us
as its friends and guides. We are the
servants of society, the bond-servants
of justice. Woodrow Wilson in the
North America Review.
THE SPIRIT OF SOUTH AFRICA.
The spirit of South Africa is a sav
age recluse. From the gray dawn of
the world he ruled undisturbed the
gigantic barren leagues of desert and
plain, whose sullen, cowering peoples
propitiated him with sinster sacrifices.
Then came the intruders, the fearless
and insolent white men, breaking the
barriers of perilous rocks and currents,
feverish swamps and waterless deserts.
Leaving their dead behind, they
pushed over into the heart of the land,
and found at last the gold and dia
monds. Perhaps he needed more
sacrifices. If so, he had his desire, for
the souls as well as the bodies of men
perished in uncounted number in the
frantic and unholy battle of gain.
la the Africa I love, the splendid,
virile land of danger and romance,
like a boy's dream' come true, the
spirit of the land is bat half awakened.
Does he dream of past kingdoms,
crumbled ages ago to dust, and will he
rouse himself to see a strong young
race poskiag.before it the buffalo and
the lion? He does not care. They
may turn on you, rending to a quiver
ing mass that which was once a man,
and fever and thirst will take their
tribute of our bravest He is wholly
indifferent, as far from any vindietive
ness as from sympathy.
But the rains twice a year spread
living green over the parched plains,
large scented blue water lillies surprise
you with their beauty, starring the
muddy reach of a sluggish stream,
and in a solitary glade of the gray,
primeval forest you may stumble upon
a kaleidoscopic dance of great swal
low tailed butterflies that takes your
breath away.
Something of the charm of the child
hood of the world clings to the coun
try. You may come across a Masai
herd boy piping on a reed under a
tree, the flock of grave brown sheep
and goats cropping around him. The
lovely lines of his limbs are uncon
cealed by the loose hide slung over his
shoulder; but for his chocolate skin
you would dream yourself back in
ancient Greece, a startled dryad van
ishing into the forest, and the echoes
of the mocking laughter of Pan still
haunting the air. Janet Allardyce in
Scribner.
LIONESS FOR BUFFALO JONES.
But the lioness did not run far. Her
next and last position was in the bed
of asmall gully about three feet deep
in the bottom of the domaand thickly
grown with grasses. Here the ropers
held a brief consultation and planned
a final attempt
Loveless made a throw and the
noose landed fairly above the beast's
head, but the thick grasses held it up.
Loveless passed the other end of his
rope over the branch of a near-by tree
and down to the horn of his saddle.
The rest of us, with the cameras
trained on the scene, had no knowl
edge of the plan. We had the slight
est idea what Colonel Jones intended
to do. Still wondering, we watched
him procure a long pole and ride
quietly along the edge of the ditch
toward the place where the lioness
crouched.
For a moment there was intense
silence. The colonel stopped his horse.
Then, leaning over from his saddle, he
poked the noose down through the
grass.
With a roar the beast sprang at him
sprang through the loop and at
the other end of the rope Loveless
yanked quickly and caught her by the
last hind leg going through. Putting
spurs to his horse, Loveless galloped
away, hauling the lioness back across
the gully and up into the tree, where
she swung to and fro, dangling by the
one hind foot and snapping upward at
the rope she could not reach.
"Got her!" yelled "Buffalo." "Now
the rains can come when they like."
The beast was furious. She was
still swinging, head down like a pen
dulum, from the limb of the tree, and
was tossing her body about in frantic
endeavor to get loose. Means ap
proached close and deftly slipped a
noose over one of the wildly gyrating
fore legs. Leading his rope over the
branch of another tree, he stretched
her out in a helpless position parallel
with the ground.
"Now lower away on both lines,"
said the colonel.
He dismounted and stood beneath
her, directing affairs as methodically
as the foreman of a construction gang.
"Steady, Means a little more,
Loveless now together easy."
She came within his reach, and with
a quick grab he caught and held her
two hind legs with both hands while
Kearton bound them together with a
piece of light line.
The rest was easy. In less than five
minutes she was bound securely and
lowered all the way to the ground to
rest in the shade.
It was nearly noon and time to call
a halt to let the heat of the day pass
before attempting to bring her back
to camp. Porters were sent to fetch
food and more water, horses were off-
saddled and turned loose to graze and
one by one the dogs came straggling in.
The men stretched themselves out
on the ground where a bush or a tree
afforded some protection from the sun.
But the colonel kept wandering over
to the prize, to examine a knot, to
arrange a better shade, or to pour the
last drops of water from his canteen
into her open mouth. Once he stood
over her for a while, watching her
vain attempts to cut the ropes with
her teeth.
"Yes, you're a beauty," he finally
said. "You're certainly a beauty. I
guess we'll just have to take you home
with us as a souvenir of the trip."
Quy H. Scull, in November Everybody's.
GLADSTONE AND DISRAELI.
It is a curious thing that the adora
tion of political England should all
this time have been divided, though
not in equal proportions, between two
illustrious men, and governed first by
one and then the other of them, neither
of whom she more than half under
stood or even pretended to understand.
Palmerston, for instance, was one of
the most plain headed men that ever
became prime minister. In his two
successors political fortune brought ex
traodinary paradox. Mr. Gladstone,
from the day when he resigned about
Maynooth, offered to his most ardent
friends endless puzzles. He would
have scorned to call himself by any
name but Catholic, and amid all his
vicissitudes was ever the most devoted
son of the church of England. Yet
he was the idol of Protestant ultras,
the political hero of Scotch Presbyter
ians and English independents, not to
name the small but ardent band of
Rationalists, some of whom were his
stoutest henchmen to the end.
Disraeli's apotheosis was just as
strange. Mr. Gladstone used to tell
how one day, sitting on the bench
while Disraeli was making -a strenuous
peech for the removal of Jewish disa
bilities, Lord John Russell whispered:
"Look at the fellow, how manfully he
sticks to it, though he knows that every
word he says is gall and wormwood to
every man who sits around him and be
hind him!" It took him a generation
to drive the Ghetto out of the minds of
the country gentlemen. He was re
galed with a host of nicknames from
every quarter indicative of mystery
and legerdemain. Yet after some
five and thirty years of it a huge ma
jority of English voters at last hailed
him for first minister. The strange
riddle stands over.
Meanwhile we do not forget that one
who began his career by so much lit
erary extravagance as the present vol
ume recalls, yet when he came to the
great business of his life, the creation
and working of a powerful political
party, showed himself cool, shrewd,
patient, far sighted, practical, full of
tactical resource, a consummate mas
ter of the fatiguing art of managing
men, and those, too, the kind of men
to whom he was not by race only but
by temperament and deepest habits a
chartered alien. He grew larger, and
not less, as time went on, even down
to the days of disaster and overthrow
in 1880. Those who were in confiden
tial relations with him at that baleful
hour have recorded, as the present
writer has said elsewhere, how the fall
en minister, who had counted on a
very different result, faced the ruin of
his government, the end of his career
and the overwhelming triumph of his
antagonist with an unclouded serenity
and a greatness of mind worthy of a
man who bad known high fortunes and
filled to the full the measure of his
gifts and his ambitions. John Morley
in the London Times.
WASTING TIME. f
An Ottawa man is delivering a ser
ies of lectures in which he endeavors
to prove that the scriptural account of
the creation does not agree with the
teachings of geologists and other scien
tists. He argues that religion must
be a pipe dream because of this.
In order to get. material for his lec
tures he has been studying and grub
bing around for years, and nothing
that he says makes any difference.
The silliest tiling a man can do is to try
to prove that religions are wrong. He
kicks against a stone wall and bruises
his corns but he doesn't hurt the wall.
There are so many useful employ
ments open to every man that it is al
most criminal wasting time as this
Ottawa man wastes it He would be
far better employed shucking corn or
driving mules or pounding sand.
Eveiything that he says has been said
a million times before, and by abler
men, without knocking any of the fea
tures off religion.
At Ottawa there is a man named
JefTeries, who makes cider and vinegar
which he claims is the best in Kansas,
and it must be good for he sells a lot
of it How much better and wiser it
is to make vinegar than to fuss around
trying to prove that this or that creed
is out of plumb. Emporia Gazette.
' WOMEN AND WAR.
John Ruskin says that women could
end war if they would go at it right.
Here is his suggestion:
"It tell you more, that at whatever
moment you choose to put a period to
war you could do it with less trouble
than you take any day to go out to
dinner. You know, or at least you
might known if you would think, that
every battle you hear of has made
many widows and orphans. We have
none of us, heart enough truly to
mourn with these. But, at least, we
might put on the outer symbols of
mourning with them. Let every lady
in the upper classes of civilized Europe
simply vow that, while any cruel war
proceeds, she will wear black a mute's
black with no jewel, no ornament,
nor excuse for evasion into prettiness
I tell you again no war would last a
week."
That would certainly do it As
powerful as the thunder of heaven
woald be the silence of that black
garb. A kindred expression could be
used in overthrowing many abuses and
injustices. The women could run this
world, if they would go at it in the right
way; if they could, in some concen trat
ed way, project their protest among the
nations in which they live From the
Ohio State Journal (Columbus.)
FINDING LOST THINGS IN GER
MANY. Take care how you pick up a thing
that is lost in Berlin. The other day
one of our deputies going through the
Prussian capital on his return from
the congress at Frankfort noticed a
key at the edge of the sidewalk. He
picked it up to hand it to a police
agent The representative of the city
police refused to take it, saying: "You
should take this key to the special
bureau of things that are lost"
"Very well, where is it?"
The agent named the street
"Is it far from here?"
"A half hour, three-quarters of an
hour if you don't walk rapidly."
The deputy replaced the key on the
pavement "Someone else will pick it
up," he said.
"Not at all," said the agent in a
commanding tone. "You should have
left it where it was, but now you are
obliged to go to the bureau. If you
don't I'll make a complaint against
you and you'll be fined, perhaps given
a day in prison. That's the law."
The deputy was compelled to obey
orders. ' Since that day he carries his
hands in his pockets. From Le Cri

Tha Mystery of a Dust
Having fought bis duel and saved
his honor by firing a shot In the ah,
the editor of a French provincial
newspaper went back to his desk, and
thu Incident bad quite left his mind
when he felt something strange In his
thigh. He looked and found that he
was bleeding profusely. A doctor was
called, who discovered that a bullet
was Imbedded In the editor's thigh
some two inches deep and required
extraction. "Why was this not taken
notice of on the spot where the duel
took place?' he asked. The editor
was as much in the dark as the doc
tor. At the moment of the duel he
had fired Into the air, and bis adver
sary also took a distracted sort of
aim. There had evidently been no in
tention of doing the slightest harm on
either side. The editor felt nothing
as he left the field and had shaken
handsiwlth his antagonist as a sign of
reconciliation. How a bullet came to
be lodged, in his thigh was simply one

An Irish Grand Prix.
There was once an Irish Grand Prix.
The horse that lowered the French
colors was the property of an eccen
tric Irishman named Conolly and was
a big, bony roan, not much to look at
in the way of horseflesh, so it was a
great surprise to everybody but his
owner when he came In first His
previous record at the English Derby
tho preceding year had not been bril
liant enough for anybody to lay any
large bets on him, with the sole excep
tion of ConoDy himself, whose faith in
his entry was so great that he mort
gaged his lands and put every cent on
the horse. Up to the very end of the
race everybody looked on Conolly as a
mined man, but when the roan shot
first under the wire he not only carried
the British colors to victory, but won
a great fortune for his master. This
happened in the time of Napoleon III.,
and Conolly was so proud of his tri
umph that he insisted on walking
ahead of the mperor and empress,

In the fall of 1S29 or the spring of
1830, and one of them was set up on
the Delaware and Hudson railroad at
Carbondale, Pa., but, being found too
heavy for the track, its use was aban
doned. The first locomotive construct
ed in this country was built by the
West Point foundry at New York In
1S30 for the South Carolina railroad
and named the Phoenix. A second en
gine was built the same year by the
same establishment and for the same
road and named the West Point In
the spring of 1831 a third engine was
built by the same establishment for
the Mohawk & Hudson railroad from
Albany to Schenectady and called the
De Witt Clinton. This was the first
locomotive run In the state of New
York. The first Stephenson locomotive
ever Imported into this country was
the Robert Fulton. This engine was
brought out in the summer of 1S31 for
the Mohawk & Hudson railroad. It
was subsequently rebuilt and named
the John Bull.
