By JAMES W. FIFIELD,
An Eminent Minister of Kansas City, Mo,
HI', iron hounds of battle have been unloosed again. From
their shotted throats the deep sounds of conflict are heard in
the far east. Alas that this is true! Our sober second
thought is one of sorrow that the hatred and strife of war,
its awful sowing of bitterness in the hearts of men, and its
sorrows among the suffering, many of whom are driven to
their tasks, are not among the outgrown actions of the past,
u Despite the exhilaration which men feel when one nation
gains mastery over another, especially the smaller putting the
larger to confusion and shame, yet with the recollection of
w hat war means we pause amid all jubilation and wish for the peaceful
and bloodless settlements of difficulties. One has said that “war is hell.”
He was thinking of how men are made savages by it. He was thinking
of the loneliness and suffering by many firesides, and of vacant chairs in
the emptv homes for the sad years to come. He saw the pale faces of the
dying and the lips growing silent under the quiet stars, amid the whis
pers of tiie evening winds. War stirs us. It arouses the animal in us.
We thirst for blood, for glory on the battlefield, and with wonderful
swiftness we go out to fling the missiles of destruction and death at our
fellow men.
How man\ wars have been justifiable no one can tell. It requires a
j very grave cause to justify a war. That w,ar should be the last resort
we must all believe. That judgment must control passion we also
j believe. War is so spectacular, so commanding, its victories so broadly
heralded, that it is difficult to think of issues and to inquire for causes
amid the common jubilation. Yet it is not a noble measure with which
I to judge a civilization. It requires an explanation. It may, in special
cases, be the only way to meet great and grave issues, and it may be the
heavy cost which a nation's security or progress demands. Only as war
is along the path of helping men can it be justified. Only when all other
resources have failed and its cause is the holy one of bringing blessings
to men in places of need, can it be sanctioned by a noble judgment. An
increasing number of people are opposed to war. They arc opposed not
to some special war. but to the very thought of war and to war every
where. The instinct of humanity is becoming very commanding. Tri
bunals of arbitration are now known. That cases are not referred to
them does not prove that many do not believe in them. It must be that
in some happy day these noble thoughts of life will gain supremaev and
rule among the children of men. The Prince of Peace is taking vthe
world, but His conquests are the ways of love, and that means the sub
jugation of the passions of men. War will stop when humanity is noble
and true. The war drum will throb no longer when the brotherhood of
| man is a recognized and lived truth among men.
The conflict between Japan and Russia has in it many items of inter
est. The little “Sunrise nation” of Japan has gained the good-will of
the world by its quick strides into the western civilization. Full of enter
prise and alert, it is proving a formidable foe to the sluggish, sleepy Rus
san nation. Possibly this is a rough rapping on the nation’s door, bid
ding this power to awaken not only to the powers without, but to duties
within; and if liberty and learning. new*life and blessing, come to the
poor and oppresseed within Russia itself, then Japan will have wrought
a mighty service. Now that war is raging we can hope for the most
beneficial results. One of these would be a reaction in Russia and an
awakening to modern life and needs, with the giving to the people there
the right to think and live in the power and opportunity of modern life,
1 he swift hammer blows may crack the shell and open the riches and
blessings of Russia to the Russians. This may be the hidden good in
! this outbreak of battle.
WON PROMOTION BY PUNS.
Clergymen Who Have Been Rewarded
for Their Ready Wit and
Facetiousness.
Canon Melville, who died the
other day, in his ninety second
year, owed lii.s earliest promotion
to a pun. When the late earl of
Dudley, who knew Mr. Melville
sufficiently to remember that his
Christian name was David, had a
living at his disposal, he received
a let ter cont aining only the words:
‘Lord, remember David.” The
earl's reply was no less terse and
Scriptural: ‘-Thou art the man!”
Perhaps the earliest instance of
ecclesiastical promotion won by a
pun is that of a curate named Jo
soph, who was prompted by Swift
to take this text for a . sermon
preached in St. Patrick’s cathe
dral. Dublin, before the viceroy,
“Butler,” duke of Ormond: “Yet
did not the chief Butler remember
Joseph, but forgat him.”
Rev. Dr. Mountain, who was the
sou of a beggar, owed nearly every
step of his successive promotions
in great part to his facetiousness,
and won the last step of all by a
single jest. When he was con
stilted as bishop of Durham by
George II. as to the fittest person
to till the vacant archi episcopal
see of York, he replied: “Sir,
hadst thou faith as a grain of mus
tard seed, thou wouldst say to this
Mountain (dramatically striking
his breast), ‘Be thou removed and
cast into this sea (see).’” That
George II. should so understand
and appreciate the joke as to ac- i
copt its suggestion is perhaps the
strangest part of tin* story.
Apropos of puns, promotion and
the see of York, here is a good
story of a living given by an arch
bishop of York in reward for an
impertinent personal pun. The
archbishop, Sir William Dawes,
entertained his clergy to dinner
shortly after the death of his wife,
Mary, who appears to have been a
regular Mrs. Proudie at once to
his grace and to the diocese. At
dinner the archbishop apologized,
with a sigh, for things not being in
the apple-pie order that prevailed
when his dear, dead wife, Mary,
was alive. Being himself an invet
erate punster, he added, with a sad
shako of his head: ‘“She, indeed,
was Mare Paeiticum!” A curate
who knew too well what a tartar
the deceased lady was, rejoined:
"Aye, my lord, but she was first
Mare Mortuum!” and was abso
lutely and immediately rewarded
bv the archbishop for this imper
tinent pun with a living of £500 a
year.
Perfumes Disinfectants.
Xo less a medical authority
than the London Lancet is respon
sible for the assertion that per
fumes are powerful disinfectants,
e«}ual to carbolic acid, the essen
tial oil which forms the basis of
all perfumes being a strong anti
septic.
Watch Huns Fifteen Years.
A Swiss watchmaker has in
vented an electric watch which
will go for 15 years without being
rewound.
UJ
Woes of Matrimony.
“Of course,” said the husband who
made a specialty of manufacturing ex
cuses, “the truth is bound to leak out
6ome time.”
“Yes,” rejoined the other half of the
matrimonial combine, “and 1 am inclined
to believe that it leaked out of you long
ago.”—Chicago Daily fv’ews.

Beware the Traveling Doctor.
St. John, Kan., May 30.—A very pe
culiar case is that of the little son of Mr.
and Mrs. Win. McBride, of this place, as
reported l>v l)r. Jesse L. Limes, the at
tending physician.
" 1 he little boy had a severe case of
malignant scarletina which left him serai
imraly/ed in the right leg and right arm.
lie also lost the hearing in the right car.
“I treated him and he gained slowly and
had begun to try to use his limbs sonv1
when a traveling doctor came along and
persuaded the child’s parents that ho
could cure their boy in a short time.
•They used his medicines, but the boy grew
worse and began having spells verv like
Lpilepsy.
".Mr. McBride caj-*> to me again and I
proposed giving hir* a course of Dodd’s
Kidney Pills, which was commenced at
once. The improvement was instant and
in a week’s time the epileptic seizure,
ceased altogether.”
There is a difference between claimin'*
to rule and trying to rule aright.
