FREEDOM.
By EDWIN MARKHAM.

When first our fathers took the vow.

In green aerial freedom, Wild and high
And now. as then, the boboInk,
Out on the uncertain brink
OF the swaying maple. swings.
Loosing his song out. link by golden
Ink;
While over the wood his proclamation
rings,
a daring boast that would unkingdOm
kings!
Even so the wild birds sang on bough
and wall
That day the Bell of Independence Hall
Thundered upon the world the Word of
Man.
The wcrd God uttered when ths world

That day when Liberty began to be,
And mighty hopes were out on land and
sea
But Freedom calls her conscripts nov
as then;
1t is an endless battle to be free,
AS the old dangers Lessen from the skies
New dangers rise;
Down the long centuries eternaIly,
Again. again, viii rise ThermOpylae-
Again, again, a new Leonidas
Must hold for God the imperiled Pass,
AS the long ages run
New Lexington viii rise on Lexington;
And many q vaIorous Warren fall
Upon the imperiled wall
Man is the conscript Of an endless quest.
A long divine adventure without rest
A holy war, a battle yet unwon
When he shall climb beyond the burnt
out sun.
Each hard-earned freedom withers TO a
bond;
Freedom forever is beyond-beyondl

QUAINT USES OF
COMMON WORDS.

Crowd was the old English name
for a fiddle. or violin
Good-by Is a contraction Of God

Deuteronomy is from two Greek
words meaning second and law The
fifth book of Moses is so called from
its being mainly a repetition Of laws
previously enumerated.
Fashion was the old name for a
certain disease of the horse It IS
alluded to in "The Tanning Of the
shrew," where Petrucio's horse Is
said to be infected with the fash
ions" The complaint is q common
one. but not among horses.
Bug originally meant a goblin
The Welsh word bug means a ghost
The Hebrew word which. in Psalms.

was in the early translations rem
dered bug. the verse being Thou
shalt aot need to be afraid Of any
bugs by night"
AT first sight there would appear
to be little connection between fat
terry and the wagging Of dogs tail
Yet in nearly all the Northern Ian
guages the same word signifies both,
ard aattarv Is certafnIx, derived from
the word signifying TO wag the tail.
In the old Norman fagra, signifies to
fatter, and also to wag the tall In
Danish. logre is to wag the tail, and
logger for cen is to fawn on one. In
Dutch vleyden is TO hatter. and
vleyds teerten is TO wag the tail. IN
the old German, wedeln is to wag
the tail. and in English wheedle is
to gain ones end by hattery--The

SOUTHERN FiUr1OR

The development of Southern lit
erature, and literature written by
Southemers. during the last quarter
of century, is proof positive to the
world which reads, that there is such
thing as Southern humor, as distin-
guished from the general type Of
American humor. Of course, these
who have Travelled in the South have
been aware of tbs fact without any
literature on the subject, as have also
those who live there, but the outside
world may not have realized it.
American hpmor has long been rec
ognized as a distinct variety of fun.
It IS usually known as dry, quizzicaI,
paradoneaIs often consisting of gro
tesquely exaggerated statements. or
the juxtapositioa of ideas whimsieally
ineongruous. Southern bumor Is Just
little different from this general
type. It Is not ike the New England
variety, best typified, perhaps, by Or.
Holmes, or that Of the Middle West,
or that of the Far West. 1t is of the
soil.
It's chief characteristic may he said
to be a rich and unctuous good-nature.
The flower of it IS to be found, per
haps, In the Middle South; at any
rate, the three or four writers who
have shown It most clearly are from
Georgia. Il is not trenehant enough
for wit, or epigrammatie enough for
satire; it has nothing nnpersonal
about it. It Is the legitimate result
of an English civilization planted on
American soil, nndisturbed for gen
erations; and It's producers are men
whose fathers read Fielding and
Smollett, hunted foxes, and gave
great house parties. It is full of
provincial catches, local turns Of ex-
preston, honely proverbs, and SMILES
suggesting grotesque bits Of loe&i his
tory It is the humor Of men con
tented with themselves and their an
eestry and their country, and with
life IN general; and it Is rich with the
sunshine and good living which have
made them what they are That Is
Southern humor, and it is likely to
work itself into American literature
even more thoroughly than it has
done thus far

GETTING UP IN THE WORLD

Just how high a maa Is able to climb
has never been determined; not because
Of the lack OF mountains, but owing to
the multiplying difficulties which
beset the adventurer the higher he gets,
says the Baltimore Sun
The highest point 10 which man has
SO Tar climbed is 1888 feet This is
the height Of Aconcagua. the Hottest
summit of the main CordiIIera Of the
Andes. This point was reached by the
guide Matthias Zurbriggen and 8fr.
Vines, two members Of the expedition
that was sent out ia 1897 under E. 4.
Fitzgerald Before this the record was
held by Sir william Martin Conway's
expedition, which. in 1882, climbed d
mountain in the Karokoram Himalayas
2. 500 feet high
Whether man VIII ever be able to
climb to the top Of Mount Everest, which
IS q. 200 feet above the sea level. is a
question upon which scientists and 9th
ers are divided. An expedition to finally
determine the matter would be watched
with considerable interest.

Of success, would not be a matter Of
