ITEMS FROM EVERYWHERE

One of the tiniest timepieces ever ex-
hibited is now being shown in New
York city. 1t is watch set in seal
ring. The dial, which is blue enameled,
with gold figures, is less than half an
inch in diameter. 1t is in a wrought
gold setting, encrusted with brilliants.

The very latest fad is to affect absent

lady starts out for the theater with
young man. She must forget gloves,
rubbers, her fan or opera glasses, and
they must arrive in the middle of the

name of the play, forget to thank the
man who gave up his seat in the car
and enter the house without saying
goodnight to her beau.-Detroit Free

THE LITTLE SOLDIER.

''When I'm big I'll be a soldier,
That's what will be;
Fight for father, fight for mother,
Over land and seal"
And before him on the table
Stood in bright array
All his little wooden soldiers,
Ready for the fray.
Then he charged his little cannon,
Singing out with glee,
"When I'm big I'll be soldier,
That's what will be! ~
By the freight sat the mother,
Tears were in her heart,
Thinking of the swift time coming
When the two must part
Soon the shadow fell between them.
Soon the years flew by;
He has left his little mother,
Left her-perhaps to die.
All the laughter gone forever,
All the sunshine fled;
Only little mother praying
BY his empty bed.
Then there came dreadful Dattle,
And upon the plain
Crept the little mother, seeking
Some one mid the slain,
But she never found her darling
In the white moon CLEAN,
For the little cannon firing
Woke her from her dream.
All dreaml He stood beside her.
Singing out with glee.
when I'm big I'll be a soldier,
That's what will be.'

And the sheep will scamper into the fold
When the North begins 10 blow.
Which is the wind that brings the heat?
The South wind Katy, and corn will grow,
And peaches redden for you to eat

That cows come shivering up the lane
When the East begins to blow.
Which is the wind that brings the fiowerss
The West wind, Bessie, and soft and low,
The brides sing i'll the summer hours.
When the West begins to blow.

D{FFUSED EDUCATION.

Many people seem to suppose that
criticisms upon the multiplication of
weak colleges in new regions are
prejudicial to the interests of advanced
culture. They are in error. The con-
eentration of means and resources into
a few institutions in each state would
enable the young to obtain collegiate
education at less cost and of higher
grade. These old and largely endowed
institutions in the East and Older states
are enabled to lift the impecuniouS
along financially. Harvard, as one of
the leading ones, affords an illustration.
1t has over $4,000 year to give away
in scholarships and aid funds. 1t has
also facilities for enabling needy stu
dents to earn money. The club system
affords board as low as 81 week. SINH
lar, and perhaps ultimately as good {.
advantages are had at other institutions
in different parts OF the country. There
is not state in the Union that should
have dozen colleges, and yet some had
above that number of so-called colleges
before becoming states.

HAVING settled it that they don't
know where heaven is, the Philadel-
phia clergy are trying TO explain what
they don't know about hell. 1t is singu-
lar that they are more definite and pos
tive about the bad than the good place
or condition. About all shown by the
discussion is that the modern pulpit has
tempered the flames down to the re-
morse of conscience. This, however, is
toibe continuous, with no mitigation, and
surpass all conception in its intensity.
The disposition is to magnify the penal
side when goodness born of fear is but
moral shoddy. The worst men some
times do right acts, but it would not be
insisted that they are entitled to wings
in consequence. Rewards Of goodness
and the consciousness of rectitude lead
in better ways much more surely than
menaceS.

the inventive world. 1t is fair to say,
too, that the records make no mention
of the numberless cases where the male
inventors received their inspiration from
the loving faith of good wife. mother
or sister; nor is there means of knowing
how many of woman's inventions are
hidden under the name of father, hus-
band or brother. All that we can say is,
women can and do invent when they
make up their minds to it, and if there
are any social conditions TO restrict their
sphere in the field of Invention, it is
their own fault.

ABOUT forty years ago there was a
big military parade in New York. The
president and cabinet were there, and
the multitudes were fired to patriotic
ecstacy over the laying of corner stone
of GEORGE WASHINGTON monument.
A fund was started for its erection. The
sequel was that the fund disappeared,
the corner stone was stolen. and it is
stated that the object was to boom real
estate. Itlooks like repetition of that
history in the GRANT monument.

Capt. Snider met one of the new
members OF the Fifty
Sized Up. first congress here the
other day, Capt. Sni-
der Of Minneapolis, Mimi, says New
York reporter. The captain is one of
the wealthiest and most prominent bus
mess men Of the -Four City. He has
never been prominent i'll Minnesota pol

people of his edistrct; but he made a
gallant fight last winter, and succeeded
in defeating the veteran. Edmund f.
Rice of st. Paul, who is known, by re-
putation at least, to every citizen OF the
state.
Capt. Snider is big, handsome man,
and great friend of Senator Cushman
X. Davis, who worked like beaver for
his election. The captain is not likely
to make great reputation in congress
as speaker, but he will see to it that
Mississippi river interests are not neg
lected for lack of agitation of the SUBJ
iect.

means, nor is it altogether new in its
epidemic form, although but few of this
generation are familiar with its raw
ages. The last severe epidemic is re-
corded as having taken place in 1S47.
Medical records mention some eight or
ten epidemics of it during the eight

''La Grippe" but it became popularity
known in this country in 1917 as the
Tyler Grip" thus dividing its sensa-
tionalism with the administration. The
Italians called it influenza stelle, be-

conditions of life for this disease, they
ascribed it to the influence QniluenZ0
