Necessary Education,

While 1t would be pleasant to have our
schools cultivate the literary element in
English composition, this is not the first
end to be sought. All educated men
cannot hope 10 be poets on essayists, but
no one has right to consider himself
educated TIL he is able to say in writing
what be would say TO Ids correspondent
aloud g they wsrs standing face TO face.
Sloveniiness of expression not only is
usually traeeable to slovenhneas of
Thought as q csnsc. but the habitualneg-
lect oil expression has also a tendency to
increase by reflex action the habit Of
loose or muddy thinking. A person who
lacks the power of clear thought and ex-
pression Is not a person to whose keeping
1t is safe to confde public interests, and
IN our country, where every citizen is
liable to be called upon to bear some Of
tho burdens Of state, it is especially neees-
sagy that the study of written as well as
spoken English be given the place to
which it's Importance plainly entities il
In every American school cot,rse.--Good

rbApr1. SCOTT MINES.

One of these is Flavel Scott Mines, who
began to earn his living as an Office boy
in the great New York publishing estab-
hshment of the Harpers and rose to be
an editor of one of their publications.
Wanting more freedom for the use Of
his pen, he has branched out on an in
dependent literary career, and what he
writes always receives considerate at
tention from editors. He Is a native Of
New York state, having been born at
Cherry Valley in 1866, and, although he
has achieved fame, practically has his
career before him. Here is q specimen
of his work taken from a recent issue Of
Harper's Weekly. 1t is entitled "The
Reward of the World" and reads as fol-
lows:
He fingered behind, while his comrades
marched on,
A captive to cowardly fears;
He knew not Gse heights which were steadily
won;
Who fingers behind thinks the battle is lost
At victory turned he TO iy,
But saw the blue standard which huttered and
tossed
fTcn tuo eueluyb rsIIlpirlS OH nlBu.
Then sought he the city and stood in the mart
And cried that the day had been gained,
Forgetting the fear that had lived in his heart,
Forgetting his manhood enchained.
The people poured out the rich gold at his feet
And wove for his brow fsir wreath;
They knew not the sword Of this messenger
feet
Had rasted within the bright sheath.
Of Mr.. Hesekiah Butterworth, who is
native of Rhode Island, and who was
born in 1899, 1t may be fairly asserted
that although somewhat advanced in
years he is still young mentally and phys
ically. For over two decades he has
held the important position OF assistant
editor of Tho Youths Companion, and
much of the latter day success Of that
weekly has been due to his guidance and
advice.
Some time ago Allan Eric in a con-
tribution to theNew York Journalist de-
clared that Of all Mr.. Butterworth's po-
etry 1.-THE Clocks of Kenilworth" pleased
him best. The theme was suggested by
ruined church at jamestown, Va, and
here are some extracts from it:
An ivy spray in my hand hold,
The kindly ivy that covers tho mold
| OF ruined balls; 1t was brought to mo
From Kenilworth castle, DER the sea.
o Ivy, Ivy, think Of the queen
Who once swept en- her way through the oak
walks green
To Kenilworth, FAR in the gathering glooms,
Her cavalcade white with silver plumes.
| They are gone all gone, those knights Of old,
| With their red cross banners and spurs of gold,
| And thou dost cover their castles mold,
| o Ivy, Ivy, dark and coldl
The next verse describes the entrance
Of the queen into the castle, when, to
the alright of all; the clocks begin to
beat louder and seemed to say, Dying
dying; this, too, shall pass away"
Then the dark knights say, "what Is wanting
here?"
4That The hour should lest''--so said a peer.
AThe 'hour sh4il lestp' the proud earl cabs;
"Eol Stop the clocksin the banquet hallsl"

Too Horrible.

There was to be grand display Of rich
toilets at the forthcoming ball in pro-
vincial town. The wife of wealthy
banker wanted to outshine all the other
ladies who had invitations. She accord
ingly ordered dress from Paris that
should exceed by its splendor the widest
expectations. Exulting in the proud con-
viction Of her surprising rnagnificence
she entered the ballroom. Here her ex-
perienced eye took stock Of the ladies
present--a scream Of horror-and she lay
fainting in her husbands arms, TO the
no small CONSERVATION Of the company
which, however, is increased twofold
when another lady in the room is discov
cred to be fainting. Our fair readers
will agree that both sufferers deserve
our deepest sympathy, for their dresses
paris make both) were precisely similar
In style and material. .-Fliegende Blatter
