! 1T ISN'T THE THING Y0U DO.
BY MARGARET \. sANdsTER.

1t isn't the thing you do, dear,
It's the thing you leave undone
That gives you a bit Of heartache
At the setting of the sun.
The tender word forgotten;
The letter you did not write;
The flower you did not send, dear,
Are your haunting ghosts tonight.
The stone you might have lifted
Out Of brothers way;
The bit Of heartsome counsel
You were hurried too much to say.
The loving touch of the hand, dear,
The gentle, winning tone
Which you had no time or thought for
With trouble enough Of your own.
These little acts Of kindness
So easily out Of mind,
These chances to be angels
Which we poor mortals find.
1t isn't the thing you do, dear,
It's the thing you leave undone
Which gives you q bit of a heartache
AT the setting Of the sun.

A CYCLONE AND A PARROT.


Seated at his desk the day after
Christmas, Gen. Lee rcgalcd party Of

1T Is u significant fact" says the
London Spectator, that, while all
the large cities OF America, self
governed, complain that they are often
robbed by their civic rulers, and al
ways maladminstered. Washington
governed not by general palaver,' hut
by three commissioners. with no re.
sDonsibiity whatever to the people,
is admitted by universal consent to
be the best governed city on the
American continent. The residents
OF Washington enjoy no suffrage, they
partake in no conventions, they elect
no member Of Congress, no mayor or
municipal council. II they have votes
they must cast them In the States
where they have legal domcile.
Washington is an aut0cratic city aud
1t IS safe to say that nobody there
wants the old municipality back"
The example would be more striking,
however, and more hopeful of general
imitation, il other cities could be as
sured of an equal share of Federal
bounty. Plenty of money does not
always mean independence.

1T Is not necessary TO apologize for
the use OF a term which distinguishes
the great body of the population from
the comparatively few, who. for one
reason or another, withdraw themselves
from sympathetic cOunscviOn with
their fellows. Among the Greeks
'Hoi polloi" was used 70 describe the
many, while among the Romans the
word 'plebs' was employed for the
same purpose. These appellations,
like the common people, have been
assumed with pride by those to whom
they were applied, while they have
been used as terms Of reproach by
those who counted themselves among
the aristocratic classes. Within re.
cent years there has been a growing
tendency In sumo quarters To de-
nOunce as denagogic any reference TO,
or praise Of, the common people.
