On this occasion I felt bonnd to leave

volting duty of ricking my life in order
to save tbia i'ttle wretch, now yelling

eastio reader, do not imagine tbat in

degree heroic. I do not. I have confess
ed that I wonld rather bare gone home.
Wbat I did I was obliged to do, wheth
er I liked it or no, and it waa certainly
"no."
Tbe little student bad, I fonnd, ran
straight into a bole in the ice. There
were plenty of such boles, for the bnaom
of the river bad not froten over, be it
remembered. The Ice bad floated down
stream from Lake Ladoga and, becom
ing choked in the bends and bridges of
tba river, bad rarked and remained
filed. Tbis ia bow the Neva becomes
closed every year, for if tbe river bad to
wait fcr tbe frost to cover it from bank
to bank before retiring from ken for ita
winter's rest, so strong is the current (I
who write, being a rowing man, know
tbat current full well) that many weeks
and perbapa months wonld elapse be

bank toward tbe ranter of the stream,

whole running river. Dut tbe pack ice
baa to fit in as best it can; tbe round
pieces have to accommodate themselvef
into sqnare boles, and tbe eqnare ones
into circular spares; bence, there are
many gaps for the first few days, and
Into one of these my little atndent bad
ran. It waa fortunate indeed for blm
that he was not instsntly sacked under
the ice and helplessly drowned. Many

But my little rascal, when I rosbed
up. waa clinging like grim death to the
edg of tbe ice. bia naila dug into the
snow, bia stomach and cheat tightly
pressed against the rough ice margin,

the current well beneath the slippery

"Let go, you fool!" I aaid angrily
"I can't mov you this way, and the

But the fellow screamed and refused.
I came closer to tbe edge and got my
band farther round toward tbe back of
bia neck. Then I polled at bim, trying
to force bim to let go and float so tbat
I might tow bim aidewaya to the edge.
He would not loose bis frensied grip,
however.
Then I forced tbe game. I purposely
stepped upon one of bia bands, and
with a yell and a enrae he let go.
Quickly I pulled blm backward and
alo-" Tbe plan succeeded admiraoiy.
1 got bim sidewaya against tbe side of
the ice, bigher np stream, and bitched
bia face and left shoulder upon tbe
edge. Out tbe frightened fool spoiled
my game by losing bia bead and strag
gling to lay bcld of something for him
self. Unfortunately tbe thing hi bands
first met and clntcbed waa my left leg.
He seized it and tugged. Heaven knows
what he hoped to gain by tbe suicidal
action.
What be actually did was to cause
me to slip and loss my balance. I fell
rloee to the edge of tbe ice, and tbe
fellow instantly clawed at me and
pulled tu into the water.
By the mercy of Providence I kicked
myself free of him aa I slipped into my
icy bath or be wonld have palled me
down beneath the snrf.ice, and we
should have died together, fighting
madly for a moment or two beneath tbe
ice.
I don't think I was in the water five
seconds; I never even allowed myaelf
to Hont down stream to the lower end
uf the bole. As I touched

rather tiHirted me to make good my

but safe and grateful.
Then I thought of the student and
looked round over my shoulder as I

doubted not beneath the ice and was

clung and gasped, trying to yell, bnt
making very little noise, for bia bead

bait choking with the water.
My mind waa quickly made on. I
knew what I abonld do now. I bad no
intention of being polled into the water
a second time. I might ant be quit so
lortnnate as to kick myself free from
tbe frenzied little fool sgsin.
I ran ronnd to bia end. He saw me

Inninue in our history. Io the war
of the rebellion, there were lories at
borne to give aid and comfort to the
enemies ol their country. In the war
ot 1812, there were men of Intel-
ligence and Influence and patriotism,
who would have turned American
arms against France, to whom we
owed o much, rather than against
England. In tbe Mexican war, many
patriots, pure aad upright, feared
that victory would be followed by
the extension and perpetuity of slav-
ery. Io the civil war, the most ter-
ri ble and cruel of all, our enemies
were wholly of our countrymen.
Heretofore we have never waged a
war with our own people united. In
the war with Spain there was not an
American citizen in any part of the
globe, there waa not anywhere a
christian lover of liberty, who did
not earnestly labor and pray, and
who waa not willing to strive and

TKl'STS IX EM.UNH,
A eorresjiondeiit of the Pbilatlel
phia 'Press," writing from Iondon
says that the trust movement in Kng
land has reached great proportions.
Some of the commodities which are
controlled by English trusts are gun
powder, Iron bedsteads, steel till es,
dynamite, salt, tin plate, rails uul
coal, while the transKrlation rates on
all English products are controlled
by railroad and shipping trusts. Not
only is this the case, but It is alst
true that there are great.corporations
which monopolize many of the neces
saries of life.
It Is strange, perhaps, that such
things could happeu in free-trade
England, ia view of the positive
statement of Trust King Haveineyer
that there would be no trusts here
but for the protective tariff. Yet the
truth is the truth, aud there is no get
tlog around It.
As a mattei of fact, prosperity, and
prosperity alone, is reponsible for
the organization of trusts. Without
industrial activity engendered by a
great and growing demand for manu
factured products, there would be no
incentive to great combinations of
capital.
The trusts are a menace, but the
tariff is not resonsible for them.
That Is a fact w hich will lie made
more promii ent if the democrats
want to make the tariff an issue iu
the next campaign. Cleveland ().

It is unfortunate that the trust
matter has la-en brought into politic.
If it is to lead to a revamping of the
tariff discussion, however, let the is
sue be made plain. In such matters
even the democracy of the country
cannot afford lo be otherwise than
honest. The interests at stake are
