The political predilections of generals, admirals, and war workers of every kind was ignored. Mr. Creel by furnishing a list of Republicans appointed by the President to conspicuous office has disproved the charge against the President of niggard partisanship.

Nevertheless, he loved her too well not to share much of her nature, and wedding it suddenly, he said: 'Rose; tell me, now. If you were to see the place where I was born, could you love me still?

Hence the canon of "Natura non facit saltum," which every fresh addition to our knowledge tends to make truer, is on this theory simply intelligible. We can plainly see why nature is prodigal in variety, though niggard in innovation. But why this should be a law of nature if each species has been independently created, no man can explain.

"Prove that," said the maiden, "and I will give you credit for more penetration than I judged you to be gifted withal." "It shall be proved instantly," said Roland Graeme.
His readily-proffered arbitration settles the differences of the humbler classes at the "love-days," a favourite popular practice noted already in the "Vision" of Langland; nor is he a niggard of the mercies which he is privileged to dispense: Full sweetly did he hear confession, And pleasant was his absolution.
