man in cross-examining Mr, Hutton
on the point of using the word "we"
in the alleged libelous circular said:
"Don't you know that Justice Mc
Bride tias defined the word 'we' in that
sense as applicable only to an editor,
an emperor, or a man wjth a tape
worm?" We are surely glad that we
are an editor, for emperors are now
having their troubles, to say nothing
of the man with a tape-worm.
periences none of tho difficulties and
failures that beset democracies, bub
jects are completely in the grasp of
a superior will, so far as public mat
ters are , concerned. Factions, di
visions of opinion and experiments in
reform mark the progress of a democ
racy. Folly has as strong a voice as
wisdom, but wisdom and folly spring
ttlike from the people and are not be
stowed or inflicted by hereditary
rulers.
The troubles of a republic, its
irrowinir pains land its halting devel
opment, are the direct penalties of
freedom. The more freedom, the
more struggle. An oyster, with scant
powers of initiative, its career sharp
ly conditioned at every point, has no
problems. A man, who thinks and
spires and gropes in a field of
liberty, runs continually into disap
pointments and adversity.
Prof. Richard Ely, of Wisconsin
universitv. savs that man is most in
dependent "when he wants least, cares I
least, has least, knows least anil is
lcnst."
Tliis circles 'back to tho oyster
stago. Complete freedom becomes no
freedom at all. There would be no
consciousness of independence in the
condition described by 'Prof. Ely,
nd no yearning for independence.
Freedom invariably brings the hun
ger for freedom. It is a habit. A
free state no sooner disposes of one
perplexity than a fresh horde arises.

To Rid Child of Worms.
Don't scold the fretful, nervous
child. Often its due to worms. Get
rid of these by giving one-half to one
lozenge Kickapoo Worm Killer, a lax
ative worm candy. Give only plain
nourishing food, lots of out-door exer
cise and put to bed early. Watch
stools and contlnuo giving Kickapoo
Worm Lozenges, they will positively
remove the worms. 25c at druggists.

Where Van Tromp Died.
Texel, the low lying island at the en
trance to the Znyder Zee, was the
scene of much llorce lighting between
Dutch and English in the seventeenth
century. It was olT Tcsul that one of
tho greatest of Dutch admirals, Van
Tromp, lost bis llfo in 1053 In an en
pnscuient with tho British under
lilakc, and nciir tho snine spot, almost

that we caii never know anything; we
have got to know all wo can that we
may attain the greatest happiness.
And therefore I say, How foolish are
all the political disputes that excite
nations! While tho salvation of prog

fate of a ministry. It Is really the sci

azine. The Habit of Saving.
The United stales Is thriftier than It
Is commonly t;ivcn credit for being be
cause statistics lncist frequently quoted
do not give all savings deposits and be
cause a vast deul of savings' goes on
oulsiile of savings institutions. Yet it
does not live up to Its opportunities by
a long way.. One of. the country's
ablest business men said not long ago
that any one could tell whether he was
going to succeed or fail by bis ability
to save, if he could not save he could
not succeed. At any rate, inability to
save for a man with an Income above
the bread line nnrT no unusual ill luck
Implies a lack of self control that is
not conducive to success.
Like nearly everything else, it is a
matter of habit, and with a littlo de
termination to begin with the right
habit is as easily formed as the wropg
one. Try It Saturday Evening Post.,

Gladstone Never Prime Minister.
Glndstone would probnbly have pro
tested if any ollicinl document had de
scribed him as one of the principal sec
retaries of state, for he was keen on
correctness in such matters. When giv
ing evidence In a trial lie was asked
whether he was first lord of the treas
ury. He demurred at once to this de
scription and explained that he was
one of the commission for executing
the office of lord high treasurer, "and
I believe my name stands first on the
list." In the same way It could be ar
gued that Gladstone was never prime
minister, for that post was first recog
nized olllciiilly eight years after ills
death. Sir Itobert Walpolo told the
house of commons that ho claimed no
such title, and Lord North would not
permit lis use even in his own family.
