HE'S THE ORIGINAL GROUCH Surely Would Be Hard to Please Old Gentleman With This Kind of Disposition. There ls in Washington an old "grouch" whose son was graduated from Yale. When the young man came home at the end of first term, he exulted In tho fact that he stood next to the head of his class. But the old gentleman was not satisfied. "Next to the head!" he exclaimed. "What do you mean? I'd like to know What you think I'm sending you to college for? Next to the head! Why aren't you at the head, where you ought to be?" At this the son was much crestfal len; but upon his return he went about his work with such ambition that at the end of the term he found himself in the coveted place. When he went home that year he felt very proud. It would be great news for the old man. When the announcement was made, the father contemplated his son for a few minutes in silence; then, with a shrug, he remarked: "At the head of the class, eh? Well, that's a fine commentary on Yale university!"-Lippincott's Maga zine. Serenity. "The true religious mat, amid all the ills of time, keeps a serene fore head and entertains a peaceful heart. This, going out and coming in amid all the trials of the city, the agony of the plague, the horrors of the thirsty tyrants, the fierce democracy abroad, the fiercer ill at home-the saint, the sage of Athens, was still the same. Such a one can endure hardness; can stand alone and be content; a rock amid the waves lonely, but not moved. Around him the few or many may scream, calum niate, blaspheme. What is all to him but the cawing of the seabird about that solitary, deep-rooted stone?" Theodore Parker. Cruel Disappointment. Jugend tells this story: "In the lower court of a small town in Saxony Wil liam had served faithfully and well as attendant to the presiding judge for many years without ever having received any reward aside from his legal stipend. On the day of adjourn ment for the season, when visitors had retired, the judge, who was also about to leave, asked: "William, do you smoke?" Seeing a square but un der the judge's arm, he answered re spectfully: 'Yes, your honor.' T knew it by the smell of your coat,' said the judge, as he walked out." THAT AWFUL BACKACHE Cared by Lydia E Pinknam's Vegetable Compound Morton's Gap, Kentucky.--"I suf fered two years with female disorders, my health was very bad and I had a continual backache which was simply awful. I could not stand on my feet long enough to cook a meal's victuals without my back nearly killing me, and I would have such dragging sen sations! could hardly 'bear it. I ?ach side, could not ctand tight clothing, and was irregular. I was completely run down. On ad vice I took Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege table Compound and Liver Pills and am enjoying" good health. It is now more than two years and I have not had an ache or pain since I do all my own work, washing and everything, and never have the backache any more. I think your medicine is grand and I praise it to all my neighbors. If you think my testimony will help others you may publish it.'*-Mrs. OLLIE WOODALL, Morton's Gap, Kentucky. Backache is a symptom of organic weakness or derangement. If you have backache don't neglect it. To get permanent relielf you must reach the root of the trouble. Nothing we know of will do this so surely as Lydia E. Pinkham's Compound. "Write to Mrs. Pinkham, afc Lyne. Mass., for special advice.

Morally, socially, cli matically-it is an obvious tar get. But from the point of view of administration Monte Carlo is beyond the critical range. For,even the most carping can scarcely cavil at perfection, and that is the word that best describes the government of that empire within a principality, which is Monte Carlo. Monte Carlo, be it understood, is the property of the Soci?t? Anonyme des Bains de Mer at du Cercle des Etrangers de Monaco. The Bains de Mer exist, but the Society Anonyme would possibly find difficulty in indi cating their whereabouts. They form, in fact, a more than subsidiary ele ment of a very mighty organization, which consists of the one Cercle des Etrangers in the world where rou lette and trente-et-quarante are play ed under conditions which, while as suring the success of the bankers, as sure at the same time the security of the player from anything even ap proaching fraud. The roulette wheel ls for any one to Inspect It has been photographed from every possible point of view. Its mechanism is too childish to need de scription-it is mechanism in Its baby hood. As for the croupiers, were each one a Maskelyne or a Devant they could no more direct the fall of the fatal ball than that of the house of lords. As for the possibility of frau? at trente-et-quarante, that has been eliminated long ago-by the casino In its own interests. The packs of cards used in the game are specially printed, and once used they are burned. And from the moment of the printing to the burning they never leave the watchful eyes of the verit able array of employes, detectives. If you will, with whom the Soci?t? Anonyme des Bains de Mer. in its own interests, as well as that of its patrons, surrounds itself. Detectives Are Everywhere. For one out of five of all the em ployes of the casino of Monte Carlo and there ire over 1,000-Is more or less a detective, and with reason. Ac cess to the casino, be it remembered, is free.' One pays cear for it once inside the gaming rooms, maybe, but that ls one's; own affair. Entry to the casino is one's own choice, and the authorities stand either to lose or win by it That they win on the average ls obvious; otherwise . they would scarcely be able to pay ?1.000,000 per annum In dividends. But. while they are content to win. they do their b?st to prot?t ? :? ose who provide the win nings. And while protecting the poor of Monaco, the casino helps those who would have helped them selves-If luck had willed lt so. He who ls fool enough to lose more than he can afford has only to make application to the office i set apart for the purpose to be given a second-class ticket home, be tie distance as great even as that which separates India from the principality. Not that the casino gives as reck lessly as their patrons gamble. Ap plication for the viatique, as this free ticket borne is known In casino lan guage, is Invariably followed by in vestigation. If the gambler has been of the big order, his stakes-and this has hitherto been known to the few are carefully recorded by a watchful employe, and the amount of his win nings or lesses each day is known to the authorities. Be the gambler of lesser importance, he has none the less been noticed, and should he prove a loser a fairly accurate est!-, mate of his losses ls made by an em ploye. Wherefore, when application ls made for the viatique the authori ties are not easily humbugged. There are some who still cherish the delusion that the "bank" at Monte Carlo is there to be "broken." and that the sensational feat of which Charles Coburn, the music-hall artist, sang many years ago is one really capable of accomplishment. As a matter of fact, the "bank" of Monte Carlo ls an'jing but the fragile thing of some people's imagination. To "break" It consists merely In winning the cash allotted to each ta' 'e nt the commencement of play-?3.200 in the case of a roulette table, ?6.000 In that of trente-et-quarante table, where the maximum allowed Is ?480. dou ble that permitted at roulette. If the player be lucky enough to clean out a table-"break the bank" If one will-all that happens is that a furth- ! IN Wt TtPMCf /7TMONTE Cf?RL? er sum is fetched from the Casino coffers. He who boasts of "breaking the bank" at Monte Carlo might Just as well pride himself on breaking the Bank of England because a cashier of that institution ran short of gold in cashing his check and sent for a further supply. But, then, there still exist so many delusions regarding this, the most famous casino in the world. There are people who believe that a croupier can be bribed to spin a certain num ber, that a ghostly hand is to be seen by the fortunate hovering over a cer tain table and indicating the manner in which the player shall stake, and that the occupation of a particular room in a hotel near the Casino brings fortune with iL Percentage of Drofit Small. While the average gambler i Ees his money at Monte Carlo, there are many who leave winners. He who is content with a reasonable percentage on his capital and is possessed of a strong head and a will of equal power has a very fair chance In his fight with the wheels or the cards. The percentage taken by the Casino ls small-very small in comparison with the terrible cagnotte of the baccarat table, or the even more impossible tax levied on him who is foolish enough to risk his money on petits chevaux or boule. As a matter of fact, there is quite an Important number of reg ular and successfui rlayerr at Monte Carlo-people who literally live by play. They are, needless to say, gamblers of the most careful class, players of systems, which reduce the possibility of anything but small loss to a minimum. But that they exist is not t*? be denied. There exists also in the principality of Monaco a cer tain few who draw regular pensions from the Casino-gamblers, once rich, who have lost all and their for tune on the board of green cloth, and upon which the author!* . . have tak en compassion. They are not, of course, allowed to cr.ter the rooms, but the Initiated can often point them out to one, mooning about the place and gazing with hungry eyes at the forbidden salles de jeu. HE WROTE THE "OX" MINUET Haydn the Composer, Writes Music for Butcher and Receives Beef as Payment. There ls no sensible reason for the titles attached to many pieces of music, some of them even classical selections. Most generally they are placed there as an attempt of some publisher to "boom" hi3 stock and sell his goods. Then, again, some pecu liar titles may have their origin in incidents about as important as the following: Haydn one day received a visit from a butcher who said that himself and his daughters were admirers of Haydn's music, and as the young woman was soon to be married, he made hold to ask that the composer write a minuet for her wedding. Kind "Papa Haydn" consented and in a few days the man of meat obtained his music. Not long afterward, Hadyn was surprised to bear this same minuet played under his win dow. On looking out he saw a band of musicians forming a ring around a large ox, tastefully decorated with flowers. Soon the butcher came up and presented the ox to Haydn, say ing that for such excellent music he thought he ought to make the com poser a present of the best ox in his possession. Ever after this little composition was called the "Ox" min uet.-W. Francis Gates. Anecdotes ol Great Musicians. Insects Get on a "Jag." "Buzz-hic-buzz-z-z-z-hic." That Is the song of the flies, hor nets and bumble bees in Essex Fells, N. J., these days, and here ls why: From a hotel on Roseland avenue, Caldwell, near the Essex Fells line, beer trickles out of the drain leading to the barroom and into an open ditch. The flies,- hornets and bumble bees of Essex Fells found this ditch the other day and almost immediately all insect pledges of sobriety went by the board. After taking drinks enough to render the ordinary winged creat ure unconscious, the Intoxicated fra ternity set out In drunken rage to punish persons who have sought to exterminate them. The honest folk of Essex Fells de clare that the flies, hornets and bum ble bees, after imbibing freely, at tack them most ferociously and laugh a drunken insect laugh whenever a futile hand slams out in their direc tion.

Did it settle the slavery problem? Not by any means, but if the amount of money that war cost us during its progress and for pen sions since, had been expended among the colored people of this nation for industrial education and other civil izing agencies that race today would have been further advanced In the scale of progressive peoples than it will 500 years from today under the present circumstances. Christ's kingdom does not come by the sword. It is within you. The patriotism of war rules the world with the sword. The patriotism of peace rules the world with an Idea. The one is spectacular and wins instanta neous applause; the other ls quiet, moves unseen and its marks are seen only in generations. One ls like a derrick, it moves the mass of Iron by force applied in one place; other is like a sunbeam, it moves the mass of Iron by the unseen ex pansion of its molecules. The maintenance of peace by- pre paredness for war 1B out of harmony with the gospel, with reason, with ethics, with economicB and with com mon sense, and any Institution that is out of harmony with all these things should be discontinued. The prophet says the nations shall not only settle down to the great industries of peace but that they shall not learn war any more. As long as peace is main tained by overwhelming navies the nations are learning war and the prog ress of the world is checked. Given national jealousy, hatred, prepared ness for war and any trifle is suffi cient to produce war. t Given national fraternity, great prosperity on tb? part of the people and no armament and no problem ls sufficiently grave to produce war. The logic of preserving peace by Increasing the navies of the world wotild finally leave the world power in the hands of one nation. It would only, be a matter of time when all nations but one would become bank rupt. The foohshJbss of increasing arma ment ls Be?i ?3 f bt> -oxpjorictrrCTJ of oar own peaceful republic. For the eight years preceding the Spanish war, our appropriations for the army were a little less than $24,000,000 per annum, and for the navy a little over $27.000, O0C per annum. For the eight years preceding 1911 the appropriations for the army sprang to $83,000,000 per an num, and for the navy to more than $102,000,000. Weare now spending for army, navy and pensions the enor mous sum of $470,000.000. or 72 per cent, of the entire revenue of the United States. If this increase alone in the army and navy were turned toward the industries which make a nation rich and happy, it would en able and maintain an industrial and agricultural experiment station in every county in the United States and give lt more than $50,000 per annum for its work. What would this mean to the people? Last year our farm products of all kinds were valued at more than $4.700,000,000. With an experiment station conducted as Min nesota is conducting her work among the farmers in every county, with $30.COO per annum to operate it. the agricultural products of this country could easily be doubled, and with its doubling every other industry would keep pace. As lt ls now, we are spending at least $125.000.000 annual ly on our army and navy more than is necessary for reasonable na tional policing, and thereby losing annually more than $4,000.000.000 which we might have if we followed the law of gospel and common sense and used the amount of money to de velop the resources of the country that we are now fooling away on war measures and getting absolutely nothing for it How long, oh how long, will this wickedness and nonsense continue? The Crown for the Faithful. The virtue of fidelity is not condi tioned by great opportunities and re sensibilities. It has nothing to do with splendor of circumstances. It needs no broad arena, no crowd of spectators. "He that ls faithful In that which ls least ls faithful also In much." The humblest task is to be done as unto God. Our gift, our tal ent, may be Insignificant, but lt ls to be used, not burled. What the world calls success is often .the shipwreck of the soul. The dominion of God's world ls the blessing of those who are "faithful In a very little," "faith ful unto death." The crown ls not for success, not for genius, not for position, not for. greatness, but for faithfulness. Life's work and warfare are to test and train our fidelity. Abiding In Christ. Abiding In Jesus is nothing but the giving up of one's self to be ruled and taught and led, and so resting In the arms of everlasting love. Blessed rest! The fruit and the foretaste and tho fellowship of God's own rest! found of them who thus come to Jesu6 to abide in him. It is the peace of God. the great calm of the eternal world, that passeth all understanding, tfeat keeps the heart and mind. With this grace secured, we have strength for every duty, courage for every struggle, a blessing In every cross and the joy of life eternal in death lt :elf.-Rev. Andrew Murray.

ASK YOUR DRUCGIS V HE HAD THEM IN A CORNER Clergyman's Rebuke to Thoughtless Youths at Once Neat and Disconcerting. A well-known clergyman was one day in a barber's shop, when four or five young men walked in whom he knew by their voices, but who did not recognize the man in the chair, with lather all over his face. They proceeded to spend the time by tell ing stories and using expressions which, to say the least, were rather strong. When the barber pulled away the towel the clergyman, cleanly shaved, stood before them. So non plussed were they that no one tried to take the vacant chair, and the barber called several times: "Next gentle man!"
