In one of Bret Harte's clever parodies of the F'rench, he tells a story of three gamin who were playing in the streets of Paris. A priest passed by. Our Fall en Chieftain i^ " There goes a priest, " cried one ; " look out for your eggs and your chickens ! " Then the priest, hearing the words, knelt down and prayed for the boys. But reflecting upon the incident, he became convinced that it was not the fault of the boys, but of their parents. So he knelt down and prayed for the parents. But on se...cond thought he saw that it was not the fault of the parents, but of society, so he knelt and prayed for society. And, as he rose from his knees, he said to himself, "But, my friend, who is soci- ety ? You and I are society. " So he knelt down the last time and prayed for himself. And, after all, that is the whole of the matter. You and I are soci- ety, and it is society that has hatched the unlikely brood whose representative has smitten to the death our beloved president. His death will not have been wholly in vain if, as one result of it, we have in this country a revival of the idea of the majesty and suprem- acy of law.
