N.suraii.ssiou Refused.

Judge D. r. Hindman of Boone. Ia,
has refused to grant naturalization pa
pers to Peter Simonson. a Dane, though
he was properly qualified. The judge
asked Simonson If. In case of q war be-
tween the United States and Denmark,
the petitioner would, II necessary, bear
arms for his adopted country and fight
against his native land. Simonson de-
clared that he would not, whereupon
Judge Hipdmah refused to issue the pa.
pers. stating that 'the time had arrived
when nc person would be aided In this
court to become q citizen unless he was
willing to stand by the government under
al circumstances and at all times
The action Of Judge Hindman creates
considerable comment. Simonson, the
petitioner. Is q man Of excellent stand
ing and would make q good citizen. his
refusal to pledge himself to bear arms
against Denmark being based on the
fact that his relatives all reside In and
ara subjects Of that country.-Cor. Chi

A singular experiment has just been
made In London In an entirely new direc-
ton. An endeavor has been made by
tinting the paper of the latest evening
journal to enable 1t to be read with COM
fort in a bad light. The tint which has
been selected is green, but rays of this
color are not present in abundance in
most artificial lights. AS a result, with
the bad, smoky fame generally met with
in English omnibuses and railway cars.
the paper seems to be Of a dirty gray
color, and were It not for the excellent
quality Of the paper and typeit would be
very difficult to read.
It is found that under the electric arc
lamp the green color shows up, and If
the electric light were in as general use
in England as it is in this country the re-
suit Of the experiment would doubtless
be more satisfactory than at present it
appears to be.-Cincinnati Enquirer.

Neither Dry Nurse Nor Hospital.

It is not the mission of the American
nation to conduct a founding asylum
for derelict countries. We cannot un-
dertake to dry nurse abandoned national
infants. 1t would be gratifying to Amer
leans if every adjacent country were or
derby, prosperous, well policed and free,
but if any of them Is not we cannot stop
our business to set it right. That
would be carrying paternalism rather
far. 1t would assume that the United
States are clothed with a duty which
they could not properly fulfill without
neglecting more imperative duties at

Not 8 white saints without O blot
We celebrate the deeds they wrought
For they were made of average clay,
As mortal men are made today,
For always In lark hours of need
A man Is furnished for the deed.
And always when the stormclouds lower
Strong men are ready for the hour,
And thus from earth's most common breed
Spring heroes fit for every need.
These men were common men. tits true.
Just common men like me and you
The plain man Is the basic clod
From which We grow the demigod.
And in the average man Is curled
The hero stuff that rules the world.
And SO we deck On hill and glen
The hero graves OF common men.
Plain common men of every day
Who left their homes to march away
To perish on the battle plain.
As common men will do again
To lift a ghastly. glazing eye
Up through the belching battle smoke.
Whose continental thunder broke
Like rhythm beats Of destiny
To lift q ghastly, glazing eye
Up to q lurid. stranger eky.
Until IL seessa painted rag,
The same old common, spengled flag
And then to die and testify
To all the ages far and nigh
How commonplace Il Is 70 did
II Il not merely now and then 8
We find such hearts In common men.
Such hero souls enwrapt away
In swathing folds of common clay,
For, standing face to fnce with fate,
All common men are always great
For men are towards In the gloom
OF their own little, selfish ~fears-
Not when tho thunder steps of doom
Stride through the trembling years.
And In an open fight with fate
All common me are always greats

poinrs of an Absentm,naea Maiden

1t was at busy hour in the forenoon
when all the city was making its way into
Che region known as down town, that the
absentminded girl distinguished herself.
Her Observation-Disclosures wss conspicuous
from afar. She forgot to put up her UNI
brella, and she neglected to hold up her
train, although the weather was the kind
that demanded both these precautions
against disease She started up the steps
on the side where the south bound trains
run, and then she remembered that her
destination was in the opposite direction.
Then she crossed the street and began the
ascent again, but came down again to &c
to a letter box on the corner. Finally she
mounted into the ticket Office, bought her
ticket, forgot to take her change until
called back and then, passing through the
door, absentmipaedly dropped four neatly
stamped and directed letters into the ticket
box.
When they were found to be hopelessly
lost until such time as the travel slackened
long enough for the road carpenter to take
the top off the box, and when the young
woman had been addressed in tones and
words of unfamiliar strength and blunt
ness, she only opened her eyes a trif1e and
said in puzzled, meditative sort of way,
Il wonder what on earth it was dropped
into che letter box. ."-Chicago Times.
