A police officer approached: he was j young, martial, and wrapped in the regulation sheepskin. At sight of him the beggar tied, hobbling away in fright and haste. “Is it possible,” said Tolstoi to him­ self, “that people are forbidden to ask charity, in Christ'» pume—in a Chris­ tian land!” “ Brother,” he said to the policeman, "can you read?” “Yes,” said the officer, politely, for Tolstoi has a grand air. “ Have you read the Bible?” “ Yes.” “Aud do you remember Christ’s or­ ders to feed the hungry?"—and he ci­ ted the words. The pollcemau was ev­ idently troubled; he turned to his ques­ tioner and asked: "And you, sir—you can read?” “Yes, brother.” “And have you read the police regu­ lations?” “Yes, brother.” “And do you remember that begging In the main streets Is forbidden?” The prophet found no auswer ready. —Success Magazine.

The only Joy you can keep is that you scatter. Every good deed helps make a track for others. A divine price must he paid for heav­ enly peace. Wise men never hesitate to look in lowly places. Our purposes are ofteu the results of God’s plans. Heaven’s doors swing opeu every time a baby smiles. You can keep thoughts out, but you cannot keep them in. Heralds of the greatest events have been amongst the lowly. They who welcome new truth never have to wait long for it. It Is likely to be the faith more than the food that makes the feast. Our world has always had room for everything but Heaven aud love. Everything that strengthens home ties binds closer Heaven's bands. This world has always put Its great­ est treasures in some attic or barn. The nearer we get to Heaven the heavier this world's goods become. Why don't the men who hate the church move where there are none? The rising of the Sun of Ulghteous- ' ness was the dawn of the day of love. Nothing could be more unprofitable than a life absorbed In profit-making. 1’reachiug the hell in the spirit of hell will only drive men in that direc­ tion. Every time you stifle a good Impulse you make it harder to start the next one. No nest Is more uncomfortable than the one that is feathered with stolen finery. You cannot east your care on Him until you are carrying some of an­ other’s care. It's a good deal easier to regulate this world than it is to set your own house straight. There are always people trying to cure this world’s drought by writing essays on irrigation. The great question is not whether you have failed, but whether you urn content with failure.

The truth is that every well-inform­ ed person in the community not only knew about the political contributions and suspicious lobbying of corpora­ tions, but some kuew, also, of other questionable performances on the part of the officers of the same concerns. These things were known, were wide­ ly bruited, were told of In the press, and yet It took a picturesque and gi­ gantic pereonnl. Interior struggle to move public opinion sufficiently to set In motion the machinery of govern­ mental Investigation. Now that this has been done, with definite and startling revelations, pub­ lic opinion has been more aud more deeply stirred. A reason for the in­ dignation excited Is the discovery that, along with a deliberate system of contributions to political parties, and to lobbyists for doubtful uses, have been methods of business which, at any time, would have been unpleasant to subject to merciless public inquiry. The result Is sure to be not only a reformation of business methods on the part of Insurance companies, blit a quickening of the business con­ science of the whole country. One straw showing the new current of thought among men of business turned up In the newspapers the other day, when the chairman of one of our larg­ est corporations, who himself was said to be a director of some forty others, declared: “We have no right to neg­ lect our duties as directors, and 1, for one, Intend to give more attention to the affairs of this company in the fu­ ture than I have In the past.” One most desirable result within sight is the passage of laws assuring publicity In the use of money In elec­ tion»; and another is the prevention of the deflection of corporate profits—es­ pecially those which are In the nature of trust funds—Into political channels. These new regulations not long ago seemed to be coming very slowly; but soon we shall, perhaps, see legislators, with public opinion at their heels in the form of aroused constituencies, scrambling over one another to vote for these longK'herisheti schemes, these distaut dreams, of “pestilent reform­ ers.” What with reform political movements In various cities and States, the patent medicine exposures, and the investigationa Into the affairs of large corporations, there is a good deal of ethics In the air Just now.— Century.
