There are hundreds of grown people in the city who will hasten to swell the fund, and there Is every reason to say that the 18!>8 Christmas of the children of the mill section will be one of the happiest in their memory. And these little Innocents will ask. “What is Christmas, that the day Is made so Joyful for us?” And they will be told: “Christmas is the birthday of Christ, the son of I God, who came on eaith for the sal vation of man."

Ilia assertion that aa a »crvant of the government he ha* no right to make money out of a simple matter of duty to that government ta the ex pression of high principle and nobla patriotism. 8o far ao good There Is. however, another point to be taken Into consideration. The brave young hero admits that none of hi* people are well-to-do; Indeed, at the time of hit Imprisonment, there was talk of raising a fund to pay off the mortgage for hla father’* farm. Now the question la, had the son any right to refuse to do a thing that even the most punctilious could not call dishon orable, when in the doing he would in sure for hla parent# dependent upon him a future free from want? In a popular periodical, a well known writer recently wrote a clever article on the decision of Rudolph in Anthony Hope s "Rupert of Hentian." He held that there could have been only one decision, and that was that ror the sake of those who loved him and had sacrifleed much for him, Ru dolph would put aside hi* own person al preference and would coutlou# to wear the grown, even though It hurt hls own honor In the wearing. There 1* *ueh a thing as a man mak ing a fetish of hls honor, and not only bowing down and worshipping It him self, but coolly sacrificing to it those to whom he la nearest and dearest. The decision of Hobson as well ns that or Rudolph is one for a meta physician to pass Judgment upon. THE POINT OF VIEW. To the Editor of the Herald—Sir: A clever man has Bald that the only reason women do not have even greater successes in the spheres of life in which they competo with men is due, not to the fact that they are intellec tually inferior, but because they can not he Impersonal In tbelr attitude to wards the world. This may or may not ho true In most lines, but it is undeniably true in regard to the development or non-do velopment of a woman’s critical facul ty. The woman who can criticise Im personally is Indeed a rarity even among ihe'most brilliant of her sex. Recently, the works of a certain pop ular author came up for discussion among a number of pre-eminently brainy women, and they all gave their reasons why they admired or disliked his books. Almost without exception there was some purely personal motive underlying, ovary preference or preju dice. One, who was a staunch advo cate of the man under discussion fin ally confessed that her fondness Tor his" chief novel really grew out of the fact that the scene was laid In her ojvii home, and that many of*he char- mmm m** *>«••> Anri >«—»» Ah* IttA*'# f '%m +%*&*> *** tiUKI **** 99* *** |, |Nmm he* teem* mm «**«« *•> th* SK 9r m? ■ -, •» Owe Cm*.

The dog made for the Intruder. There was but a moment for Mr. North to decide. Escape be muat. A small thicken coop wa* at hand. The dog waa coming, lu Mr. North sprang, closing the door after him. The coop was not large enough for him to stand. Ho wa* compelled to re main in half-handing position, which in a few minute* became tiresome and almost unbearable. The moir uncomfortable he became the more honeyed the young man be came toward the dog. "Good doggie, "nice doggie"— the patronlilng terms being met each time by an ugly growl. The dog went on duty. He laid down beside the chicken coop, paw* outstretched, head betwen paws, tongue lolling out, hla eye* on the cooped-up man. "Come. Weyler. ’ "Poor old Spaniard." "There is a nice dog.' were received with a blink of the eye or a grunting growl. "For God's V«ke get me out of this," cried Mr. North to Mr. Hull when he found out that that gentleman had ar rived. "I am suffocating, I am about to faint. I dan't stand thi*‘ much longer.” "Where In the thunder are you. called Mr. Hull from the ether side of the fence. “I'm in the chicken coop; been here for two hours; the coop isn't big enough for a turkey; the bulldog brute Is watching me like a hawk; get me out of here." "Courage, my noble hoy; courage for a few moments, and I will bring you aid. Talk to the dog and pacify him till I come back.” “Pacify nothing. Get me out of here o the will tear me to pieces." Mr. Hull was back with Mr. Sibley as soon as possible, and Mr. North was released. He has not yet straight ened out. "That's the last time T enter prem; ises at the rear after dark" Mff.
