Italians in his employ and we ques-

Mr. Damon is earnest and he is
honest but like other men who have
passed their lives in provincial COM
munities, he is not broad-minded
and he, no discredit to him, believes
that the Almighty and the sun and
the moon and the stars have special
business in Hawaii and that the eyes
OF the world are always centered on
the poor little speck known in the
geography of the world as the place
where man known as Captain
Cooke was killed.

One day, many years ago, the
writer was travelling on Mauna Kea
with one of our cleverest and most
brilliant officials, who yet is cloaked
in the ermine of his high Office. We
discussed many subjects of interest
to men who wish to know what is
going on in the world. The great
official advanced his opinions in re-
gard to the character, habits, and
temperament Of certain nation in
Europe. The writer could not agree
with his views and offered his hum
BILE opinion. The great man was not
used to have his dictum contradict
ed and he reined in his horse, and in
an awfnl tone of voice said: young
man, | know what | am talking Of.

to smile and say: eyes,. dear judge,

Forward, forward, o'er the starlight sea.
And look Of passionate desire

"Yewho from my childhood up have calmed me
Calm me, ah! compose me to the end"

On my heart your mighty charm renew;
Still, still let me, as gaze upon you,

Ger the lit seas unquiet way,
In the rustling night air came the answer:
"Wouldst thou be as these are? Live as they
"Unaffrighted by the silence round them,
Undisturbed by the sights they see,
These demand not that the things without them
Yield them love, amusement, sympathy.
"And with joy the stars perform their shining,
And the sea its long-silvered roll;
For self-polsed they live, nor pine with noting
All the fever of some differing SOUL
Rounded by themselves, ami unregardful

caa have but fine contempt for disap-
prpval from the same quarter.
Dewey does not deserve the abuse
thQt has been heaped upon him, and HI
may congratulate himself that it has
not come from the best element of the
American people. But he made mis-
take in accepting that house as he did,
ana he made greater mistake, what
ever his motive, when he decided it to
his wife. True, after the house was
presented to him it was as much his as
if he had paid his money for it, and,
considered from merely mercenary
point of view, he had a right to dispose
OF it as he saw fit. Had there been ne
cessity for his disposal of the house he
would have been much less subject to
criticism. One should not dispose of a
gift without most excellent reason.
1t was self-evident that the givers of
the house expected Dewey to keep it
and not to give it away, even to his
wife. If he was prompted by sentiment
it was peculiar and unfortunate ex-
hibition of that admirable quality. If
he acted from merely practical point
ofaview it was even more unfortunate.
Lieutenant Hobson allowed his head
to5be turned, as the saying goes, by the
passing enthusiasm of the populace and
the attentions that were bestowed upon
him. His public osculatory perform
ances were rather nauseating. But he
displayed worthy spirit when he de-
INJURED to the proposition that the
mortgage on his parents home be paid
by popular subscription. Hobson's only
income is the pay of a naval lieutenant.
Dewey's personal income is more than
a thousand dollars month, and he has
a wife who possesses several hundred
Thousand dollars in her own right. The
Independent pride of the young Ala
bamian and the inborn thrift of Ad-
miral Dewey afford a noticeable con-
trast. Every true American must ad-
mire and honor the hero of Manila bay
He has written his name in the temple
of fame in characters too deep and in
delible to ever be effaced. But the fer

selves some disappointment by keeping

University of Tennessee,

1t is sometimes a wholesome lesson,
sort of awakening to ones shortcom-
ings, to 90 out from home and note the
doings of other folk. And better still,
it sometimes sends one home with a
fuller appreciation of ones own. This
is pertinent to our University. 1t is a
liberal education in the highest duty
owing to this State institution which
has added dignity and value to Knox
vile for many years before Knoxville
grew to be so arrogant in her conscious
ness of material development as to
make her grow careless of what had
once been her pride and the dominant
factor in her social and literary life.
We repeat, it is liberal education in
simple duty, to be confronted with the
tremendous value to be placed upon ed
ucational institutions elsewhere by the
community in which they are located.
There was a time, too, when the Ten
nessee University was not only ap-
proved as first-class place of learning,
but it was the centre of interest in and
about this city. In the hurry and ma
terialism of this tumultuous latter-day
life, Knoxville has dissociated herself
too much from the life within her Uni
versity. 1t is hers more than it is the
States and should be upheld by her,
made an integral part of her highest
interests. One is struck by the defer.
ence shown the various institutions in a
neighboring State. Their life is made
a part of the community life. Their
students are at once taken in as factors
in that life and given to understand
that their interests, their pleasures
their catastrophes, belong to the com
munity and are to be enjoyed or mourned
as unit. A game of football, a match
at tennis, or swimming race, is sutfi
cient excuse for an overwhelming eX
cess of enthusiasm in an event of para
mount personal Importance. And il
was a qualification to listen to eager
praise of our own University, with it:
beauties of location and unrivallec
equipment. We have great power II
our midst, a power being welded by
conscientious and devoted guides, ant
it is to our discredit that we, as peo
pie, do not more firmly support then
by personal interest in their labors.

Folly Nsbuk@do

There are many worthy clubs, orders
and societies-literary, social, patriotic,
INDUSTRIAL and so on-and there are
some whose names and pretensions bor-
der on the ridiculous, if indeed they do
not cross the line. The most absurd
that has yet been proposed in this free
republic is 'The Order of the Crown"
of which only persons of royal descent
can become members. A person who
writes his name Charles H. Browning
and who claims to be an expert in gen.
ealogy, has written, among others of a
similar character, a book on "Ameri-
cans of Royal Descent" Mr.. Brown
ing is a manufacturer of family trees
who makes a speciality of tracing the
lineage of those who have royal blood
in their veins-or of discovering royal
blood, which answers the purpose
equally as well. His "Americans of
Royal Descent is the blue-book, the
guide and authority that controls ''The
Order of the Crown" and those who
seek admission to it's sacred circles. A
number of persons whose ancestors
were probably English poachers, Scotch
crofterS or German peasants, and whose
forbears in this country were perhaps
hide and rum peddlers, have eagerly
sought membership in "The Order of
the Crown Mrs. Alexander Van
Rensselaer,, a sensible American So
ciety woman, whose name is pretty
well known, was asked to join the So
ciety, but she refused, and in giving
the reas01is Tor er-7ef dsFsi; cfTrlT1c-~
Mr.. Browning, who brought suit against
her for libel. The libel suit was based
on part of Mrs. Van Rensselaer's letter,
as follows:
Il think the title of this society dis
respectful to our ances stors who fought
in the War of Independence to free this
country from crown, and also think it
un-American and unpatriotic. If the
aim of this society is purely social I
cannot agree with you that royal de-
scent will insure distinguished social
position in this country. As I under
stand this matter Mr.. Browning's book,
called Americans of Royal Descent, is
to be the standard of admission to the
society. This work quotes no authori-
ties for the statements it contains, but
gives lists of people that Mr.. Browning
declares are descended from mOnarchs
of the Middle Ages, and in almost all
cases the descendants are proved to be
illegitimate. If l have any such blot
on my escutcheOn, time has drawn the
merciful veil of oblivion over it, and it
would be folly for me to be the one to
point it out and emphasize it. The only
Insignia that you could adopt for your
society would be the bar sinister, and
that is hardly one to be proud of"
This is sensible language from sens
bile woman, and it is not surprising that
Judge Mcpherson of the Federal Court
has sustained Mrs. Van Rensselaer, in
her contention that her letter was not
Iibelous. But she has given "The Or
der of the Crown" a blow from which
it can hardly recover.

CRY OF A BROKEN HEART.
BY A KNOXVILLE GIRL

WILL it ever be thus, will my thoughts
WW always wander
Back to the old sweet days?
When our lives flowed on with such rythmical
measure,
And we were so happy and gay?
When We met and parted. little dreaming that
ever
Our lives should be severed for aye
That shadows should darken our pathway
Our sweet dream Of Love glide away
Will it ever be thus, will my heart always turn
TO the days when your love was my all?
When to love you and feel that you loved in
return
Was all the bliss that craved
How can I repress it, this feeling of pain,
Which Is gnawing so deep in my heart?
For the PAST with its dreams must fade from
my life,
And the Future seems, oh, so dark
viii it ever be thus, will my heart always ache.
When, in fancy, l live in those days?
Ere our love had grown cold and our spirits
estranged
When our life seemed Heaven on Earth?
Will Time. as the days, weeks and months
glide by,
Help to smother this passionate pain?
And teach my sad heart to forget all the Past,
And welcome contentment again?
Who knows? who can say what the future
will bring?
1t is not for US to dscern
God ONLY can help us to bravely march on
In the battle Of life, tho our aching hearts
yearn
For the love and the days that are gonel
So, farewell my darlingl May the same God
above
Watch o'er you through life--fll your heart
with His lovel

sweet, and the people sat and listened
with great joy.
And one commenting upon it all said
to another, ''What do these things
mean? Has Orpheus turned changeling
that he now has priestesses instead of
priests in the Temple of Music?" And
the one to whom the word was spoken
said that another had perhaps spoken
the truth about it all when he said that
there should be both the priest and the
priestess in the temple, perfect music
welded unto perfect song, in order that
the world might have the harmony it so
greatly needs to lessen the sum of its
too great discord.
