DID YOU
REST WILL?
The Early Morning Perfume
tory Question to Guests.
4 Little Social Query That Is More
Than Frequently Provocative
of FibbinE.

All guests suffer some more. some less.
writes Dorothy Maddox. The hostess
may have her troubles, too. They cannot
be compared to those of the stranger
within her gates, for she is on home
ground, and this gives her every advan-
tage over transient.
Both hostess and guest are on their
good behavior. Too much so. Such Civ
ing and accepting of hospitality brings
into the situation a strain that is hor-
rible.
One of the deepest woes of the guest
is brought about in a very simple way.
As soon as he or she appears in the
morning the hostess. the host or some
member of the family pounces upon the
unfortunate with the threadbaTe ques-
ton,
How did you Sleep"
The question is perfunCtory. | know
of nothing in the form of Il query more
so. Nobody ever puts it with any idea
that the truth will be told. and il never
is.
Embarrassed. the questioned one shut
fies mentally. There is an evident at
tempt to do the polite thing with as little
lying as possible. If the guest is from
a QtIiet neighborhoOd, he or she has not
account of city troleys.
In cold blood, how can one fatty an
nounce a sleepless night? Perhaps the
new bed. with covers too many or too
few with pillows too soft or too hard,
has kept the guest awake good part of
the night. Seme people can no more sleep
away from home than fish can swim
out of water. Not at least until they
become accustomed to their new sur
a r.
nered by the effusive, How did you
rest?" asa
Such treatment is cruel, but the cruelty
is rarely realized by the one who is do
ing the hospitable. Indeed. a great
breach Of etiquette would be considered
as made in the households code of pO
liteness were this confusing morning salu-
tation omitted.

The bark of a dog, the rustic of the

Flag and Cargo-searckIng NeutraIs.

From the Chicago JOurnaL)
For the support of the civilized prinCi-
pie that Free ships make free goods,
more credit is due the United States than
any o,her country. although the United
States was not one OF the signatOry pow
ers of the convention of Paris of 1856.
where the principle was first generally
recognized. In the infancy of the re-
public the country took a stand on this
question which other and older powers
are only approaching today.
This was partly due 10 the fact that ths
people of this country were extensively
engaged in the carrying trade and were
very great sufferers from the enforce
ment of the ruder and more elementary
principle that enabled a beIligerent to
stop and search neutral vessels for his
enemy's goods. of whatever character.
For it is not a general rule of interna-
tional law that The flag covers the
cargo, or Free ships make free goods"
The early principle was the other way
grew out of the nature oi war. and was
hard 10 break down.
Ii was a harsh principle and worked
great hardship on commerce. Where
the belligerents We're naval powers and
the war was prosecuted with vigor the
annoyances of search. and the scandals
OF prize courts. were enough almost to
paralyze International trade
IL was as though Spain should have
the right to stop English vessels and
search them for Mr.. Letters wheat and
TO sieze the cargo If Mr.. Letter had sent
wheat that way. The freight due the
carrier would in no way compensate the
English vessel owner for having his ship
stopped and searched
In negotiations with England in T79s
Mr.. Madison cOntended that free ships
made free goods. and Mr. Pinckney. who
conducted the negotiations with Lord
Grenville for a British treaty. contended
that the principle was already engrafted
in the law of nations But i'm fS23 John
Quincy Adams referred to the point as
still unsettled.
The Paris conference of 1856 declared
that the neutral flag covers the enemys
goods. except cOutraband OF war. and
neutral goods except contraband should
be safe under the enemy's flag Neither
the United States nor Spain were parties
to the conference.
But the SpaniSh-AmeTiCan treaty OF
1875. as reaffirmed in 1919 prOclaims that
free ships make free goods if the car
rier's country has acknowledged the prin-
ciple. Hence neutrals who are parties to
the Paris convention can carry American
goods. except contraband. exempt from
seizure by the ships of Spain.
As a probable result. American goods
would go i'm British or possibly French
ships. except for the cOastwise trade. in
which our laws forbid foreign vessels 70
engage. That would have to he defended
from Spanish privateers.

nificent bay horse and asked for a
place to put the animal up and get
a mouthful of food for himself. He
was given the information asked
for and then inquired the latest
news of the war. He was in turn
asked his name and residence and
replied that his home was near Lam
igan and that his name was Nor
man Brown. He had read in the
papers that men were wanted to Ell.
list in the cavalry service of the
United States and he thought he'd
ride his horse to Jefferson City and
enlist. He "reconed nobody cared
anything about him and il would
not be much loss if he was killed.
He had saved up over five hundred
dollars expecting to get married
some day, but his sweetheart was
drowned in the river a few weeks
ago and now he had nothing to live
for except to serve his country. for
he had no folks" He was told to
go to Jefferson City where Lieut..
Fuller of the regular army had es-
tablished recruiting headquarters
for cavalrymen. About noon he
rode away. refusing to take 800 for
his horse. He said he intended to
keep her as long as he lived. She
was the only friend ne had.

UNIVERSITY CENTER.

Notwithstanding the almost uni
versal mania for music now raging
In Baxter, several of the classes
tore themselves away at half-past
eight Tuesday evening and safely
made their way to the rooms of the
Library where they found Sophie
cles. Euripides, Aristophanes, Her
odotus. Thucydides and Xeuophon
awaiting.
Miss Rhoda Bowers found that
Sophocles was the greatest Grecian
writer of tragedy. His physical
beauty and grace won for him, at
the age of fifteen, the distinction of
leading the chorus, who sung the
peau at the celebration of the vic.
tory of Salamis-the battle that de.
cided the conflict between Greece
and Persia. She told how he COM
peted with Aeschylus for the prize
when twenty-seven, and how nine
teen other times he won a first
prize at Athens
Mrs. Opperman proved that che
was thoroughly acquainted with
Euripides by her extended study of
John Lords works and by her re-
searches in Ridpath's history of
the world. II is surprising to see
the amount of literary work this
lady, with ali her family duties, &C.
complishes in a single week.
Mrs.. Mau~e Hollomon gave the
class some excellent readings from
these great masters of tragedy and
also introduced the subject of COM
edy. She said that comedy, like
tragedy. had it's origin among the
Dorians, but reached its highes ct de-
velopment In democratic Athens.
Here Il was divided into three
classes, the old comedy, which rid.
iculed every institution and every.
thing In the state out of which a
laugh could be provoked, and was
intensely personal and political;
the middle comedy dispensed with
the chorus, and the humor of the
play was in the caricatures of 40.
ciaI life, philosophy and literature
while the new comedy resembled
our own comedy of manners.
DIR. Thompson introduced Aristo
planes, who for forty years was ths
greatest buriesque critic of Athen
ian politics and life. He was a won
derful poet, az well as a keen satir
list. He united extravagant fancy
delicate humor, and lyric sweet
ness. He dispised philosop ers
demagogues and rhetoricians, anc
chung to the old traditions o
Athens and idealized the plain
sturdy citizen, who defeated tn,
Persians at Marathon, and scornee
the new tangled notions of the new
school.
