William Pitt was not supposed either, to be a crude youth, and the French revolutionists most of them men between tweuty-flve and thirty-live were never taxed with Immaturity. We think of all men who are not elderly as If they were young men, liable to the mistakes of young men, and this not Infrequently leads them to act as If they really were very young men. But most lads of seven teen are clear about their ethical code, and who Is there who has gathered some experience, and baa not found that the possibility of foregoing the cleanliness of their souls Is more un pleasant to them than to most of their sKtilorsT Em est Dlmmet, In Atlantic Monthly.

King Named Pennsylvania. . It was Charles II who gave the name Pennsylvania to the American colony. The founder would have named It New Wales on account of Its rugged and beautiful scenery, A good story Is told of how Charles once turned the tables on his Quaker sub ject when they met In the park. "Why doit thou remove thy bat friend Chariest" asked William Penn. "Be cause wherever I am It Is customary for only one person to remain uncov ered." Penn waa much at home with kings. James H used to go to Quaker meetings to hear him preach. He knew Anne as a little girl end that queen counted him as an old friend, but William HI was not so cordially disposed. When Peter the .Great was occupying Evelyn's residence at Dept ford he went to Quaker meeting and knew Penn.
