from ofir midst.” If the Christian
element of Fairfield will d6 what
they can to meet their reSponsi-

The We«t aud the Kiul.,
Some interesting statements made bj
Owen'Wister concerning the east and
tile west are quoted by Mr. Arthur Sted
man iu a tgkatch of the yonng author.
“One thing I have noticed,” said Mr.
Wister, “regarding the east and the
west. It can. be expressed • briefly, al-
though it will require explanation after-
ward. -In saying that the head of the
country seems to be in the east while
tho heart seems to be in the west, I may
perhaps’- mean thut the. weet seems
cruder, although I never phrase it to
myself in Just that way, but in, 'travel-
ing about there one is struck continnal-

Mr. Wise’s friend said:
“Colonel Dinwiddie, ullrqv mo to in-

life never to shake hands with niggers. ”
“Oh, certainly,” said Dopglass. “I
am an ex-slavo and I know the preju-
