Copyright, 1813. by Star Company. A reverence tor titles Is born in the English blood and It permeates tho men tality of that nation. At the same time tho English people demand more of a man and woman of title before admit ting them to their favor than do our American society circles! We have many cases of bo gus lords and dukes, counts and barons, who havo become social lions, and even married women of eooil family before they were unmasked. Such an Occur rence is unknown Ir. England, for t h. e-y have their literature of caste, and no man would darn assume a title there without facta to substantiate the claim. The pre tenders come to America, where they know they can find an entree to our "best, society" In many parts of the land merely through our erase for the titles which; wfe'hretend to idesplsc. -'. But In England when a man or woman bears a title, especially a title which has descended from father to son for several generations, or centuries, he Is sure to kIv necullar obeisance from tho " which no amount of monoy or Intellect could obtain for him without the title. A very enterprwins " iiruc""' j gllshman expressed concern at the un-1 orthodox religious tendencies of a friend. This friend, an American, Is a Theoso- j phlst, and the kindly hearted Englishman, i being devoted to the church of Englant. and being most conservative by nature, begged his friend to be careful about ex pressing her pagan Ideask lest sho maka herself unpopular. Thpn one day she unfolded to him a surprising fact an English lady bearing an honored name, granddaughter of an earl, daughter of an earl and sister of an earl, was an avowed Theosophlst, and sho had asked the American lady to lunch because of her pagan Ideas. Where upon ' the nice, klndly-hearted English man, ceased to bo anxious, for though he might not accept the pagan Ideas fori himself, ho felt they gained a certain dignity from being accepted by the dls- j tlngu'shed descendant of two earls. Lady Emily Lutyens (pronounced Lutchens), national representative of the Order of the Star In the East, in England, Is the daughter of Owen Meredith, second ' carl of Lyttan and granddaughter of tho i first lord of Lytton, who contributed; great works of art to English literature In "Tho Last Days of Pompeii," and ( many other notable novels. , h ia ihn wife of an eminent architect' and artist, one to whom the large, work! off. dia arcl.uvv-lu.ally ror the seat of government has been accorded by royal decree.

't , "Tho Order of the Star in tfo ouinug r, m-ro " "" young minds has received the underlying facts and principles as a basis for build ing the beautiful tower of faith later and a radiant center from which to receive power and purpose from the universe. Lady Lutyens Is editor of The Day spring, the organ of the thcosophlcal so ciety known as the Order of the Star in the East. This order has been founded to draw lgether thoso who, whether. Inside or mtslde of the theoposphlcal society, be levo In tho near coming of a 'great spiritual teacher for tho helping of the world. It Is thought that its members may, on tho physical plane, do something to prepare public opinion for His coming and to create an atmosphere of wel come and of reverence; and, on the higher planes, may unite In forming an Instrument of service ready for His use. The declaration of principles, acceptance of which Is all that Is necessary for ad mission to the order, is as follows: 1. Wo believe that a great Teacher will .soon appear In the world, and we wish so to live now that we may bo worthy to know Him when He comes. t. Wo shall try, therefore, to keep Him In our minds always and to do in His name, and therefore to the best of our ability, all the work which comes to ua In our dally occupation. 3. Am for as our ordinary duties allow. We shall endeavor to devoto a portion of pur tm each day to some definite work which may' help, to prepare for His com ing. 4. Wo shall seek to make devotion, steadfastness and gentleness prominent1 characteristics In our dally life. 6. We shall try to begin and end each day with a short period devoted to tho asking of His blessing upon all that we try to do for Him and In His name. 0. We regard it as our special' duty to try to recognize alnd reverence greatness In whomsoever shown and to strive to co-operate, so far as we can, with thoso whom we feel to be spiritually our su periors. Anna Besant says of this order: "When the Supreme Teacher came to found Christianity the public mind was unprepared for His coming; only the wise men noted the shining of the star In the east. The opposition stirred up was so strong, the recognition was con fined to so few, that He was able to give the world the blessing of His physical presence only for three brief years. Per chance If our band grows large enough In every country to prepare men's hearts for His appearing and to give Him ef fective welcome when He comes tho Lord of Love may remain with us for a period less brief, and do a work less re stricted than that which was possible 2 000 years ago. Some, at least, of the shafts that would otherwlso be aimed at Him may fall on our wilting breasts, and some of the opposition may exhaust it self on us, who gladly offer ourselves as His servants." In America and England and India, this little Order of the Star In the East Is growing with amailng power. Prof. Woodhouse, M. A., has written a pam phlet on Its Inner and outer work and meaning. And Itev. Scott-Montcrleff, M. A., has written and spoken such living words that nothing more suitable can be said to close with: "We harp too much upon the past, end lessly discuss It, turn It over and over. We have burled Christ In tho church! we have allowed the machinery to strangle tho life, and our talk Is of yet more and more Improved machinery. He has warned us that He may come in an hour when we think not, which Is surely, 't anything, a warning to begin thinking, " p th'ncs that really seem to move most of us are prayer book revision, Welsh disestablishment and church finance. We build and plan as If we were going on for ever, bishops, priests and deacons, thlrty-nlnc articles, matins and evensong and all the rest of It, "When, before our very eyes, If we would look, the world Is changing and drawing together, east and west are fus ing their lives and exchanging thoughts, old abuses and selfish Interests are crumbling to their fall, old orthodoxes, and with them old hatreds and unbroth erly walls of division, are breaking up and disappearing.

She sat on a gray rock with her little baro, scratched feet hanging down into the cool sedges close to the stream s(le. Her hair was all in black rings around her face. On top of tho black rings was a sailor hat. Its out trmost ring of mraw was ripped loose and flipped up and down with a nonchalanco that only a ring of ripped straw on a hat can show.

I call to see her two or three tlmrs a week and she seems to like It very imwh. but her par ents wish me to como over oftener than that and take her out for good times and other places of amusement. She says she loves me, but tells me the good times she has with other boys In my absence. I told her to stop going out with other boyu, and she promised me not to do so. Friends have told me she still goes out with other boys, and this Is very dis pleasing to me. A WOOING LOVER. She Is not engaged to you, and there fore not bound to obey you.

Tho king was supposed to be tho vlco regent of God, tho representntlvo of Deity, and, as tho Justlco of Qod, was nbsoluto and right, so were tho the rulings of tho king. 'Tho devlno right of kings" was not successfnlly chal lenged until the year of 1776. And In dogree a superstition still lin gers In reference thucto, and we expect our courts to be something mora than human. Tho modern Judicial machinery haa no method by which It can rover o Itself and do Justice to an Individual that it has wronged. However, It is good to see that tho pub lic conscience Is becoming awakom d and this In manifest In senate bill No. 074. in troduced by Senator Sutherland of Utah Senator Sutherland haa presented to the senate a strong argument In behalf ol the proposition. In addition is a brief bf Kdward SI. Itorchard, law librarian ol congress, and a further argument Is ap pended bV l'rof. John IT. Wlrmnni A.n of the Northwestern School of Law, at KVtanston, III. Tl la bill seeks to remedy certain of Injustice. It docs not seek to mnt relief to all and every person who Is le gally innocent, or whose conviction Is re versed on appeal. Alt Senator Sutherland's bill nek tn rin la two things: To give relief to a man cnargea with crime when It la shown bo- yona question that the crime was not committed at all. Second, when It Is shown by competent proof that the crime was not committed by this man. If congress passes the bill, as It doubt less will. Its examnle will ln fnllnwi hr similar legislation In all of the states. An Incident leading ud to thl bill is tho caso of a man who had served ten years ror murder, and who was released only when the man he waa supposed to have murdered presented himself at the penl tent.ary and asked to soo the man who had murdered him. All tho circumstances pointed In the dl. reotlon of gvillt for tho accused man. xnerr naa Deen a light, which was the culmination ot a srudgo long entertained.. Thus motive was provod. The corpus de licti was found burled in a shallow grave. The body was much decomposed, but it was Identified by relative , Who the actual dead man waa mult no difference. It wasn't the man the relatives thought It was. Tho othor man had got out of tho country, thlnkU he had kilicd U.o man who subsequently served ten years for killing him. The man' was convicted and was sen tenced, escaping the gallows by a hair. Now comes the case of John Doehman, committed to Sing Sing for life on ac count of a murder, it turns out, how ever, hat the murder waa commltteed by anothor person, and the facts are pre sented beyond dispute Andrew Tnth spent twenty years In a prlion In Pennsylvania before the authnri. ties discovered of their own account that thoy had the wrong man. Rellof In the bill I fixed at a sum not to exceed ,000. Of course, $5,000 is a very Insignificant sum, say, for twenty years of a man's life. Dut the idea Is to prepare a bill that will be acceptable oven to the most captious. The state holds its cltlxena responsible for their mistakes or their crimes, but th. state is not responsible for Its blunders. It cannot be sued nor arrested. Prof. WIgmoro says: "The state. In tho past, has committed many crimes against liberty. When the state com mits a wrong against property there is a redress, but when It commits a crime agalnut a person, no redress under pres ent conditions is poislble. Wo say all men are entitled to life, liberty and tho pursuit of happiness. This we assume ad a fundamental principle." Truth Is on the scaffold. Wrong is on the throne. Wo have slipped a cog somewhere. Our government takes account of property, but it does not take account of human lf. The happiness of tho individual Is something which the state does not of. ficially recognise. The state can do no wrong, excepting when it comes to prep- eny. The question now before us is. should the state be held responsible for Its mis takes, and Is it possible for the state to be gu.lty of a crime against the indl. vldual? , T;.e law says "No," but In the human heart there Is something that says "Yes." The fedoial govo.nment prosecuted E. . w. ui oi. l.ouis tor ten years. I Lewis spent 1100,000 In defending him- in government rmned his busi ness, but never convicted him. Now, a committee, annnlntcl hv m . taking 10,000 pages of testimony, declares inai i-ewia naa always conducted his at falrs In a legal manner, and the state never had cause for complaint. But that does not reimburse Lewis.
