A DAUGHTER OF EARTH Rv r.
An Anglo-American Alliance

Their is a patriotism of race as we'll as
of country-and the Anglo-American is as
little likely to be Indifferent to the onet
as to the other. Family quarrels there have
been heretofore and doubtless will be again,
and the two peoples, at the safe distance
which the broad Atlantic interposes, take
with each other liberties of speech which
only the fondest and dearest relatives in
dulge in. Nevertheless, that they would
be found standing together against any
alien foe by whom either was menaced
with destruction or irreparable calamity it
is not permissible to doubt. Nothing less
could be expected of the close community
between them in origin, Speech thought,
literature, institutions, ideals-in the kind
and degree of the civilization enjoyed by
both. In that same community, and in that
cooperation in good works which should
result from 1t, 1t is not too much to say, lies
the best hope for the future, not only of the
two kindred peoples, but of the human race
itself. To be assured of it, we need not re-
sort to priori reasoning, convincing as it
would be found, nor exhaust historical
examples, numerous and cogent as they
are. 1t is enough to point out that, of all
the obstacles to the onward march of civili-
zation, none approaches in magnitude and
obduracy "the scourge Of war; and that
the English and American peoples. both
by precept and example, have done more
uullHS tne laSL century 10 90 away with
war and to substitute peaceful and civil
lied methods of settling international con-
troversies than all the other nations of the
world combined have done during all the
worlds history. 1t is not too much to hope,
let us trust, that the near future will show
them making even more marked advances
in the same direction, and, while thus con-
sulting their own best interests, also set
ting an example sure to have the most Inn
portant and beneficent influence upon the
destinies Of manknd.-Hon. Richard Olney

COONS AND BULLDOG FIGHT
Necessary to Kill the Canine to End
the Engagement

Peoria, Ill.,-A valuable Thoroughbred
bred bulldog was torn to pieces by f1ve
raccoons in Glen Oak yesterday. The dog
was running loose in the park, and, un-
observed, stopped at the pit containing the
coons. Instantly there was a chorus of
deep growls and sharp barks. They did not
fancy each other. Through the iron rail-
ing the dog stuck its nose and offered fight.
The nearest coons attached its claws to the
nose and the dog sprang back with howl.
Over the iron railing and into the pit spran4
the dog. Each coon attacked the dog from
different point. They. buried their teeth
and claws Into his flesh and held on like
leeches. Such a howl went up as possibly
was never heard in that section before.
Park Policeman Gill was attracted to
the pit by the noise and witnessed the
strange fight Of the animals. He said there
was not spot on the dog . body that was
not cut. The coons were fierce and had th6
dog completely at thier mercy. They could
not be shaken off. Policeman Gill killed
the dog in order to end the butchery. He
could not have lived and apparently 1t was
the only way to end the fight. After the dog
was dead it was necessary to beat the coonA
in order to make them release their hold.

What Becomes Of ThemP

Why do publishers put out so many alb
solutely worthless books? Surely, most
of the purposeless novels, without one re-
deeming quality, must fail of being profit
able and even of being read. No reputable
reviewer will praise book without merit,
and how do these inane affairs ever get
before the public at all? 1t was long ago
discovered that the publisher with the
commercial instinct is generally more sue
cessful than the one who has high liter
ary standard. In other words, books are
mere merchandise these days, just as
many newspaper offices are mere manu-
featuring plants, and turn out whatever
sells best.
But perhaps the unsuccessful novel this
year may sell in a new edition some time,
and this is why 1t Is worth trying. If
new name is needed, this is easily sup
piled. w. l.. Alden, writing from London,
thus whimsically refers to this subject:
''It might not be bad idea for the au-
thors of mediocre novels to treat them as
their periodic times at which they should
appear before the public as new publica-
tions. Most novels could be reissued with
out fear of detection every ten years, es-
pecially II their titles were to be changed.
This system would enable novelist to
write only ten novels and yet publish an
ostensibly new one every year during the
entire course Of his life. The clergy have
long practiced this system in regard to
sermons, and what clergyman can do
would surely be excusable in a lay novel;

Intermeddline by Congress

1t is sincerely to be hoped that congress
will have the sense to keeps its hands of
the management of the armies and navies
of the country. Every time congress
touched that part of the executive duties
during the rebellion, it made a botch OF it.
Half the laundering of the campaigns
against Richmond, If not a greater share,
was directly due to interference by conv
gress or congressman. The management Of
a war is not within the province of congress.

This touching story comes in the nick of
time to tell us Of the sunny south that
has become SO near to us all again.
Since the war generation has grown
up whose ears do not hear the grim thun-
der of the cannon "at the front" when
brave brothers battled over the dark in
heritance of negro slavery-handed down
by their forefathers and sanctioned by
the laws of the land.
The lapse of thirty-two years since the
Confederate banners were folded up for
ever at Appomattox has brought the
thoughtful student and grave historian to
fields Of inquiry once limited to the poll
tician and given over to the dreadful ar
bitrament of the sword.
1t is left, in part for the historical novel
and romance to depict the social conditions
under which the south drifted into war
which has made the Confederate, equally
with the Union soldier, hero.

The Poster Girl

Inc roster G1Tl
(After 1.-THE Blessed Damozel.")
The blessed Poster-girl leaned out
From pinky-purple heaven.
One eye was red and one was green;
Her bang was cut uneven;
She had three fingers on her hand,
And the hairs on her head were seven.
Her robe, ungirt from clasp to hem,
No sunnowers did adorn;
But heavy Turkish portiere
Was very neatly worn;
And the hat that lay along her back
Was yellow like canned corn.
1t was kind of wobbly wave
That she was standing on,
And high aloft she flung scarf
That must have weighed a ton;
And she was rather tall-at least
She reached up to the sun.
Less green of speech than blue:
"Perhaps 1 am absurd-perhaps
I don't appeal to you;
But my artistic worth depends
Upon the point of view."
I saw her smile, although her eyes
Were only smudgy smears;
And then she swished her swirling arms,
And wagged her gorgeous ears.
She sobbed q checked sob,
And wept some purple tears.
