PARABLE OF THE LABORER
Injured Horse Abandoned In Street to
Die Cited by Writer as Present-
Day Hluatratlon.
As a car turned a corner the pas-
sengers could see a horse stretched
on the cobbles in the rigid abandon-
ment of death, writes Nannie Lan-
caster in the Washington Star.
He was a common brown horse
that had worked out his youth and
strength and life, as those long ago
brown men who dragged the stones
to make Egypt’s sphinx worked out
their youth and strength and life,
and then died and were forgotten, as
the horse would be forgotten as soon
as some boss has finished blaming a
driver and sold the carcass to who-
ever buys dead horses.
The few passengers in the car con-
tributed an ejaculation or two, and a
man said to the woman with him:
‘There’s the end of one poor stiff.”
He said it with offhand kindliness
and with the finality of one who
knows annihilation when he sees it,
and yet—
Balaam’s ase earned eternal pas-
turage in the Elysian fields—and—
to change from Koran to Bible:
Did not he say that every laborer
is worthy of his hire ?
And as the hone on the cobbles
had labored with bo return in this
world—
Oh, well, what’s the use! One
can only ask the same old question
that living humanity has always
asked of the dead:
“Whither goeat thou ?”
And answer there is none.
WOMEN IN LAWMAKING BODIES
Were Regular Members of English Na-
tional Councils During the Time
of Anglo-Saxon Rule.
Women in parliament are by no
means new. The Roman Emperor
Heliogabalus (218-222) even had a
seriate made up entirely of women.
It consisted of his mother, Svoemis,
who acted as the presiding officer,
and a number of distinguished Ro-
man ladies. To he sure, their au-
thority was eonfined to the decision
of questions referring only to female
dress, calls, etiquette, entertainments
and the like. But also in England
women formerly sat in parliament.
In the Witenagemot (the national
council) of the Anglo-Saxons women
were regular members. Thus, in the
great council of 694 women of high
rank and abbesses participated, and
the decisions, are, among others,
signed by five female representatives.
But even in the time of Henry III
and Edward 1 abbesses still occupied
their seats in the English parlia-
ment, and only as late as under Ed-
ward III the custom seems to have
been abandoned, as the countesses
entitled to seats in the house of lords
were then asked to send male repre-
sentatives.
JAPANESE TRANSLATE BIBLE.
Great interest has been created by
the announcement that the new
Japanese translation of the Bible,
which has been in progress for seven
years by a committee of eight learned
Christian scholars, representing four
sects of Protestant Christianity, has
been almost finished, and shortly
will be sent to press, says the Kansas
City Star. The translation work,
undertaken by the American Bible
society, was started by a specially
formed committee in May, 1910. The
new translation is said to be written
in more colloquial Japanese than the
existing versions.

COMPARES TOMMY AND POILU
Writer Assert* That Alongside That of
French, English Face Looks Stupid
—Latter's Body Angular.
At the Gare de Lyon poilus are
taking trains for the South. This is
our first real sight of them in their
tired glory. They look weary and
dusty and strong; every face has
character, no face looks empty, or as
if its thought were being done by
others. Their laughter is not vulgar
or thick. Alongside their faces the
English face looks stupid, the Eng-
lish body angular and neat. They
are loaded with queer burdens, bread
and bottles bulge their pockets; their
blue-gray is prettier than khaki,
their round helmets are becoming.
Our Tommies, even to our own
eyes, seem uniformed, but hardly
two out of all this crowd are dressed
alike. The French soldier luxuri-
ates in extremes; he can go to his
death in white gloves and dandyism
—he can glory in unshavenness and
patches. The words “in extremis”
seem dear to the French soldier;
and con amore he passes from one
extreme to the other. One of them
stands gazing up at the board which
gives the hours of starting and the
destinations of the trains. His tired
face is charming, and has a look that
I cannot describe—lost, as it were, to
all surroundings; a Welshman or a
Highlander, but no Englishman,
could look like that—John Gals-
worthy, in Atlantic Magazine.
SENSE OF CONFIDENCE.
“So Josh has enlisted?”
“Yep,” replied Farmer Spiggins.
“Are you worried about him ?”
“Some. But there’s one comfort.
Though we can’t expect him to keep
out o’ trouble, we know he’s in
mighty good company.”
HABIT.
“What would you do if you really
believed the world was coming to an
end tomorrow ?” asked the Baltimore
News. Take in the screens and
bury the lily bulbs, we suppose; then
go around to Mr. McDougal’s bank
and see if there was anything left
Habit is strong in us family men.

DSE GOOD PAINT-
When You Clean Up and Paint Up
Painting is an economy—the better the paint, and
its proper application, and the more promptly it is
lused on places needing paint, the greater the econ-
omy. The annual loss through the lack of painting
is greater than the annual loss by fire.
Our Paint Department is completely equipped
with the best Paints, Oils, Varnishes, Enamels, Stains,
Brushes, etc. Lay plans now for the big Clean Up
and Paint Up Job.
