Infancy and childhood necessarily receive service, but vouth and maturity can and should give it. What we give may depend on many things, but there is one service which the world greatly needs and which we all can give ; intelligent following of worthy leaders. All thru the ages there has been much blind, stupid following of anv demagogue who had many words and a suave manner. .All about us we see people following foolish or unworthy fads only because others are doing it. In our school experience we have learned to examine evidence on both sides of a problem and to (luestion values. Therefore, let us examine without prejudice the ideas and purposes of those who would lead : let us weigh them carefully and form our own opinions ; then let us courageously follow those leaders whose principles we approve. AI. RY E. RiCHESOX. The Lantern-Bearers T. R.L.S. ( ) ' .ARD the end of Septeml)er. when school-time was drawing near and the nights were alreadv black, we would begin to salh ' fmm our respective villas, each equipped with a tin bull ' s-eye lantern. We wore them buckled to the waist upon a cricket lielt, and over them, such was the rigiir of the game, a buttoned top-coat. They smelled noisomely of blistered tin : they never burned aright, though they would always burn our fingers ; their use was naught: the pleasure of them merely fanciful; and yet a bov with a bull ' s-eye under his top-coat asked fur nothing mcire. The pleasure of the thing was substantive ; and to be a boy with a bull ' s-eye under his top-coat was good enough f ir us. When two of these asses met. there would be an .anxious Tlave you got your lantern? and a gratified ' Yes ' . That was the shibboleth. The essence of this bliss was to walk by yourself in the black night ; the slide shut, the top-coat buttoned; not a ray escaping, whether to conduct your footsteps or to make your glory pulilic ; a mere pillar of darkness in the dark ; and all the while, deep down in the privacy of yoiu fool ' s heart, to know you had a bull ' s-eye at your belt, and to exult and sing over the knowledge. { l££a.
