explains It. You and 1 wbo are lass
highly cultured beings simply e«y,
‘ 'Ob, It’s tbe old story; speak of angels
and you beer the rootling of tbair
wiog* !” It le all trua—this last—
bow many lime* have you chatted all
afternoon about a friand and Uie next
morning a letter would com* from her,
in which sbe woo Id say, “Somehow I
felt impelled tils afteraooo to write
to you.’’ What impelled her ? How
msay time* have you and I, busy at
our needlework, wished to me some
body we loved, talked a good bit about
her. end lo I aud behold 1 when tea bell
raug, the sepulchral sounding vole*,
question log through the lube discovers
that tbs friend talked of Is at Uia
street end of the wire. Then when
abe appears we all say bow funny it
was that she same Just when we were
wishing tor her. Thu avenge woman
think* ao many thlogs are funny sim
ply beoaus* sbe canuot explain them.
Then the lady who knows ell about
concentration of thoogbt say*, that. It
we manage our “think task” properly
we need never be unhappy. As if we
bad not been taught that when we
were children t As If that were a Dew
doctrine
Aa If tbe mother, llm wise mother,
did not say to her daughter, “When
everything i* st its worst have faith
and hope for tti* brat.” All tbe new
doctrines in the world oaanot elalm
that as a something evolved to-day.
Bat. whether It is Just being made
much of lo day, or whether, aa Is the
truth, It has been taught for eeulucle*.
It Is still a beautiful faith. U must
be called.
TUB FAITH OF NAKIMO BBU»V*.
Keally Mid truly, when we are par
ticularly unhappy, or particularly poor
or p-irtlcularly ill, there la a certain
liapplnaoa tore to come if we can draw
on the bank of Imagination and cash
check* that bny u* for the lime being
the belief that we are not unhappy at
all; tb»l we ire absolutely healthy aod
that we are wonderfully rich. A good
Imagination la n great bleating. Of
rouraa. like all great hlwwioga, it mutt
be properly ueed, but, when It ie only
ullilted to make one better aaUaSed
and more hopeful, to fled beauty In
wbat seem* merely ordinary, then a
vivid Imagination la a source of great
aod naeer ending happloeoa. With It,
you OAn make the people around yon
reem better than they are; with It,
yon can make your environment* aeem
tree shabby than they are; and with It
you can Bake all your life really richer
than It ta. Wlthoot it how poor Ilf*
would b* without an Imagination 1
Hope wosld be dropped, and there
would be nothing worth living for, for
your faith, even in tbe fairies would
be killed.

President Cleveland k«l strictly ad
hered to International ueuage In da
ting to recommend tbe reoocnltlon
of the belligerency of tbe Gabon inur
geoU on the grownd that they have nut
established and maintained a da facto
Government oapable of enrolling
governmental function* irwr any part
of tbe Island.
Tbla ie tbe requirement recognised
in International law a< the eaacntial
beat* of belligerent rlgbta. and a Gov
ernment which ignores this role dnes
ao at eonslderabla risk in tba outcome
But, on tbs other band, it I* locum
beol upon Spain U> demonstrate with
in a reasonable time her ability to on
foree her aetbority and to maintain an
•Beetles Governeaent over tbo tarrlLory
to which nbe claims eoverelgu rights.
The President intimates In hta message
that, so far froaj asasrtlog bar author
ity in the part of the ielund and osaio
ulnlog law and order among the On
ban people, the Spanish authority has
retrograded in both power and Juris
diction and tbe Governauwit it not on
ly yielding to the srveroaobroenu of
revolution, but la showing a dlsposl
lloo to foment a condition of anarchy
which is hostile lo all government and
destr unlive of tbs inures is of ths
Csban people and of all w* > have aoy
relations with thorn.
Tbe question, therefore, presented by
the President's rotwaage la itow Jong
onr obligations aa a friendly nation are .
to keep utloa position of forbearuoee
towards Spain's manifest weakness and
tba anarchical and destructive condi
tions In a neighboring territory. It is ,
purely a question of juJgmeot, In
which tbe United Stale* most deter- i
mine the limit of friendly forbearance |
to Spats, modified by our daly to oar- :
selves and to the cause of humanity, I
Justloo and cIvillsatiCD.
It ir vasy to read between the lines
of Uto massags that ths President hae
been drawn to tbe etde of fortwerance
by a creditable ambition to asrve as
peacemaker. The offer of mediation
and guarantee of good faith are not
only In accord with the high standard
of international conduct In promotion
of peace and good governruent which
h»a been the elm of the best Aen-rloau
statesmanship, but It gives Spain an
opportunity to come to ao honorable
settlement of tba trouble, the neglect
of which oan only be aaerlbod to fa
tuous adhenmoe >m tbe part of the
Spanish Government to false pride end
suicidal policy.
Even with the acceptance of Urn
offer of mediation, the possibility of
teouriug terms from Spain that will
be satisfactory to the Cubans Is rather
remote. But the President clearly
Intimates that Spain moat oome to
mtlsfactory terms or oonqnrr tbe
Cabans In a brief tiros. Ha shoes
plainly that be regards the situation aa
does to the Intolerable point.
The mswags will strength so opinion
In end out of Congress la favor of oon

ef l he Cuban* *od of pulling a stop to
