France to day when compared with France then stands far in advance. He then pointed te Germany and England. But after all claimed the western empire te be the des tination of the highest political advance-, though through net a few hardships. Bete are the United States, the first and only government by the people and for the pec pie. She has had her hardships. Having such a geed government hew shall we pre serve it and have purer politics 7 Hew can we de away with evil ? Is It by abolishing reimcsr no. jy always striving for the best. Then tee there are the se called "ma chines" run en the same principles as busi ness concerns. They can be kept under check. They must be. "The Exile," by h7h. Apple. In the forest of Western Siberia stands a lonely, doaertcd pillar. Ages have witnosted It tuns standing In lis painfully suggestive manner, nundreds et thousands of exiled bumin beings have taken their last leave at this lonely deuelate spot Heaitrinllng scenes, melancholy, gloom and despair, where de these companions delight te haunt mcra? Since one ei man's mes', noble attributes is his living love of bis country, banishment comes te be oneef Ibe most severe punishments cxperlenceable. Of all the conditions of man the worst Is that of exile. Freedom Is gene. Nature loses its beauty for him even from the very vault of the heavens te the bottom et the deepest grotto. He dreams of the past, of bis country. Where can that spot be found 7 Sweeter by far is death. Such Is the life of exile. But that time 1b fast passing away. Ne mere St. Helenas. The light even dawns upon Russia. T. B. Appel ' Frtmlng the Constitu tion. "The storm of war bad passed. The eyes et the world were fixed en the new arena. Thlrteen organized states new be come a nation. Only a firm union could preserve the liberty wen. The new nation aeemed but born te dip. LUtle Interest In legislative work. The flower et the na tien's Btrengtb came tegether. Other na tions looked en anxiously with various topes and opinion. The Americans hsd faith In tbelr leaders. Their work was stupendous. Evil threatened. The llrst question that arose was concerning the na ture of the government. The form or a ropublle was adopted. Various questions arose In the consideration of the details. Compromise came te be the method of procedure. The ri valry between the North and the Seuth was foreshadowed. There were but few of the delegates who were really Batlsfl&d wltb their work. Tbey did net realize the mag nitude or tbelr work, it was submitted te the authorities. Mere contest followed. Conventions in all the states. It wts adopted. It steed, stands and will stand. Tbe nation under It is the most powerful. It la an Immortal monument te Ita framers. jOur flag Is Its standard. Unspoken language," by G. B. Smith. language is tbe portal of thought. Hu manity deals wltb spoken language. There la a language coeval with tim. The star, the mountain, tbe flower, the brook and tbe swallow are all reservoirs or thought from an infinite fountain where man can queneh bis thirst hence a language net spoken or beard. As nature has her Ian go age, se has man. The crumbling bricks of the Euphrates, tbe rulna of Egypt, apeak loudly. Then Greeea speaks wltb yolees innumerable. Secrecy is a tandeney of our age. Yet language will eviv be unrestrainedly uttered. The church bell Is tbe unspoken language purged In the bleed et Calvary. All spheres are struggling and falling, but tbe footsteps of a mighty host are sounding. O. B. Sehaefler "The Side of Popular Feeling" Tbe apeakar referred te Napo Nape leon and his reception In France en his re turn, then te Christ's reception In Jerusa lem, then te the enthusiasm awakened by Peter tbe hermit and the Puritans burning tbe sorcerers at the stake. Thus Is tbe tide of history iadvanclng. It is a meohanieal age. Society steeps te a few individuals. This tide Is apparent most en the political seene. The echoes of tbe late strike still ring in cur eats. What a van field for reformation. Thought coupled with setlyity la the remedy. Education of the right kind is greatly needed.
