methods, a;re essentiailly the ~sa,Ine. They are both honest, hard·-w1or-king men a;nd bea1r 'the unmistakahle stamp. of true mrunhaod.

A(lam Bede, one of Geo. Eliot's n1·os1t m,a,s:terful crerutions, is run hone1st, industrious, God-featring: carpenter, who is at first bew~tched by the superfidail charms of a ~'ery ~-ain .a1nd forol:Ls:h datiry m1arid, Hetty Sorrell, but finally, marries Dinah ~!orris, aJ y·oung . M1ethodi:st prea:cher. l\1r. Pegg1otty, prob­aJbly Dickens' mtos·t noble m:a~n, h~ a -simple, lovable, generous­hearted fisherm:a1n throug,h whos.e unselfish generosity and in­dUJstry .a yorunig1 niec1e, Etntily, a;nd a widowed· sister are nlain­ta:ined. Both of th-ese 1nen a1re imbued' with a certain protec­tive aind fartherly lorve for tw'~OI young girl~s. Adam was fiHed 'vith lorve for Hetrty principaHy on a:ccount of her weakness and childishness. H~, pereeiving the contra,st between her h~lplessness and his own ";nondtei~ful firintl!ess and 1nanly stren~gith, yearned to de-w)fte his life to the love and protection· of thi~ wewk young g1ir l ag1winst the trials,, .snares,, and 'S'or~ro-w-s of life. H1e hi,mself ters ely expresses thi~s ,senti­ment when he s1atyiS to Hett:ty, "vVill you be m1y own ·wife, to love alllld take cwre of 3JSI long1 als I liv·e?''

~Ir. Pegg1otty W3Js not as well €duc:art,ed as Adtam and so his lave for h~s p1•etty little niece w~as for him inexpressible. But hi,s "actions spoke loud!er than -words" as: can be seen in this vivKIJ a!nd beauti:ful description: "It \Va;s perfectly de­lightful tid behold with \Vha,t enthusiasrn 1\ir. Peggotty- beemme 'in;spired w11oen he thought of hi~ little farvorite. He sta~ncls before m'e :agruin, his bluff hairy fruce irradiating with a joy­ful lave and pride, for which I e:a1n1 find no description. · His honest eyes fire up, and spa1rkle as if their depths, were :stirred by som·ething bright. H·is broad chest heaves with pleasUJre. Hi's stron:g loos.e band.s elinch them,selves in his ea:rnestnes~s; wnd he empha1s1izes vVhat he swys with a right aiFin that shows-, in 1ny pi:g~)lly vievv, like al. 'Sledge-hammer."

Adaim _B,ed'e \v'hen only a young ma1n clistplayed ·01ne of the mJost fundament~ttl tralits of manhood when a:ft:er running a\vay frorm home he r:et:urnedt tSiaiJing,, ":M:y baek'!S broad .a;nd st;rong enough ; I should he n1o better tham a coward to go aw'ay wnd leave the troubles to be bl)rne by them a:s aren't half so able.." L.n~ewis1e 1\ir. Peggotty eould have left his widowed siste:v a.nd nieee to take ea1re of then1sel ves .without sacrificing' his life .rund honest labor to 1na1ke thmn happy.

How thes~e t ,,VIo eha1raeters acted under this ::dm:ost unbemrable bur:dJe1n of g·rief :L~ certalinly adn1>ira:ble.

T11:ey bora their eross:es like m~en, like foHovvei4s of J e1srws Ohri1st.

Pegg:otty endures: ail sorts ,of privations a:nrd !swffering1s jn his :Roble endea1vor to find E11nily, horp1ing thereby t ;o s:ave her f~ont further disgrace.

Tb.e Minilns are upholding their proud record as the best team of t.heir .size in the state by defea1ting all cmners. The supp01sedly champion St. Philip's :J)1inims from Chicago were hu1nbled by the locals to the aecoinpa,nimient of 6-3. Tb.e lit~ tle fellows were evenly InaJtehed and the coaching~ of ·M,cDun­ald ·was clearly seen in the alble and big leaigue style, in which the Nlinjmrs ha,ndled them:selves. . D:m.ndurand the "peroxide blonde" pitched in his uSiUal .unhitta1ble n11a1ntner, getting nine by the 'vhiff route and allo·wing but two passes.
