Judgment means the power of recalling various memories of perceptions through the censes, which have come in from the outside world, memories of Ideas, mem ories of emotions, and all the compli cated association of Ideas that these contained only one name Kansas City Star. - ' .

"They" were chatting ia the smoi In room of a little Kouinkiijke Paket- vaart Maatschappi coaster, on a two months' run among the islands below the equator, when some one speaking of the Malay peninsula some one else said. "My impression of the Straits Settlements can be summed up In a single picture a strong black man, standing In the center of a muddy stream, trying to split a rock with a shirt." . -, . Now thia always provokes a laugh; it is venerable and infallible. P.ut to my surprise, said Frederick S.
