The appointment of Judge Oliver Wendell
Holmes to the supreme bench of the United States
to succeed Justice Gray seems to be one of those
exceedingly occurrences in which everybody is
pleased, irrespective of party feeling. The demo-
cratic press joins it's esteemed contemporaries on
the other side of the fence in vocing the praises of
Judge Holmes, who certainly his high posi-
ton under the most suspicious circumstances. He
is who does not hesitate to 60 ahead in his
way when he is sure he is right and has conse-
quenty been the recipient of less unpleasant
epithets from the trust magnates of Massachusetts
in the past but that he has reached the highest
appontive position in the republic past animosites
have been forgotten and the newspapers of the
country unanimous in giving him credit for his
abilities.

In fact it is almost impossible to imagine any.
thing in nature that is not rhythmical. It is ap.

those sounds which fall upon the auditory nerves
in the most rhythmical cadence should be the most
pleasing?

MUSICIANS say that melody written in "waltz

There is something about the triple measure that
charms and satisfies young and old, illiterate and
cultured, dancers and lame men,, What this some-
thing is musicians don't explain contentng them
selves with the statement that the music is more
readily committed to memory than any other form.
Perhaps the explanation is that the triple meas
ure is more rhythmical than the others and conse-
quently satisfies innate craving for sequence
among it's hearers. Certain it is that all nature
seems to move in a series of rhythms rather than
with continuous action. The revolutions of the
planets are perfect rhythms, are also the move
ments of the various constitutions while, to get
nearer home, there is winter and summer, day and
night the ebb and flow of the tide the waxing
and waning of the moon, the blossoming and fading
of trees and plants and on. In the animal world
life is manifested by series of actions and reactions
by complete rhythmical round. Waking follows
sleep, sleep completes the circle again; the heart
beats are not continuous and who has watched q

The feudists of Kentucky are

Miss Mary McLane the eccentric
19-year-old authoress of Butte,
Montana, seems to have leaped to
fame at one bound by the publ
cation of her book, which is said
to be as remarkable as are the
idiosyncrasies of it's authoress.
A poor girl, of obscure parent
age, she had never been beyond
the confines of the narrow basin in
which Butte is situated until the
other day, when she went east.
Stopping in Chicago few hours,
she called on her publishers who, in
cidentally, handed her fifteen hun
dred dollars, the proceeds of few
weeks sales of her book. She took
the money. thrust it into her
pocket and walked away with her
characteristic indifference as tho
it had been, but fifteen cents.
Some women of the highest social
circles in Butte sought to have
the young authoress join their
society a few weeks ago and &C.
cordingly one of their number
arranged an afternoon gathering
to which Miss McLane and q
select few were invited. Shortly
after the introductions and ex-
change of greetings of the assem-
bled guests, brandy was served, a
glass of which was enjoyed by
Miss McLane. Meanwhile the
young authoress had been con-
scious of the fact that she was the
guest of honor and that she had
been the cynosure of all eyes from
the moment of her arrival. Rising
to her feet. and, with perfect COM
posure, as tho she had been
the only person in the room, she
addressed the hostess, saying:
II don't like these people at all.
They would not look at me before
my book was published, and [ am
no better now than was before
that book was written" Then
turning to the others she continued,
eff you are through looking at me
I will 60 home. Good day ladies'"
And home she went. What must
have been the chagrin and mortifi-
cation of the hostess and her
friends at that moment?
The word. "good'' is good word,
one of the best and most express
sive words in the English language.
Most good things in Canada lost
their goodness many years since
and became simply mot bad"
There were many good things in
the United States until three or
four years ago, but now instead of
being good they are "all right.
If one sees, reads, hears, eats,
drinks, or in any way experiences
something good, delightfully."- good,
or good beyond expression, it is
simply 1'all right" The phrase
"all right has its place and it is
all right in that place, but when
it attempts to do double duty and
supersede that great word good, it
is inadequate, insignificant and
out of its sphere, to say the least.

ACCORDING to the book section Of the New York
Times, George Francis Train is about to publish a
book about himself It ought to be interesting, for he
is old man now and has been most everywhere,
known most everybody and seen most everything
in his day, and if he only knows how to put it all
down paper things will be lovely. There was a
time when certain people labeled Citizen" Train
crank. That in the days when he used to sit in
Madison Square, New York, surrounded by focks
of sparrows and herds of little children, both of
whom he fed But the persons who called him a
crank did so because they didn't understand Most
hard words used because of that reason AS soon
they found out that he dressed to suit himself
and chose his panions-even the birds and chill
dren-for the same reason, that he was man of
unusual intelligence with gift of keen observation
why then they ceased to call him crank and
commenced to think of him as man VINO is de-
cidedy above the average. But the appellation
stuck and there are good many parrots alive today
who call Citizen Train crank. Perhaps he has
written his book to prove their error to them.

Ascientist who recently returned
to the United States from Borneo-
has become convert of the OAR
winian theory of evolution. The
apes of that island, he says, are
seemingly almost as intelligent as,
the natives and they have jargon,
and system of signs by which they
understand one another. Whether
or not man descended or assembled
from the monkey or other animal,
one doesn't have to go very far
to find indisputable evidence that.
vast numbers of humanity have,
not gained any very great degree
of ascendancy over the monkey or
the jackass. The recent pugilistic
performance in California was one
illustration of this fact. A prize,
fight is prize fight, a bull fight is.
a bull fight and dog fight is dog
fight. Either of these may be all

quadrupeds or even bipeds in an
animalistic performance for blood
they place very low estimate on
the intelligence and interests of
the reading public. However, the
Call and Examiner ceased years ago
to be representative American

yellow journals of the most pro-
nounced sensational, Bowery-istic,
Tough-alley istic type. We spoke
our speak on yellow journalism in
other columns of The MIRROR a
year ago last June. In another
article about the same time we
stated that vast numbers of men
who go to war do SO, not because
of patriotic motives, but because
of their animalistic desire to fight
something, to kill something, to-
kill men. In a late issue Of the

writer's of that valued publication,
in commenting on the San Fran

PRAYER becomes q necessity when We
know what Gods love for Us means. To
read the story, as the Bible tells it, Of
the love which made the world and man,
and of the love which sent God to live and
die on earth for US; to 60 over the years Of
living and see how goodness and mercy
have followed all the days; to pick out
the blessings till they grow into glowing
clouds always lowering over the human
experience-these show the divine love 80
nightly that one cannot keep away from
the contemplation! And SO the human
love grows until it reaches God, and bows
at His feet, and presses its httleness into
the very vastness of His nature, and draws
its breath from the very presence Of Him
who is Himself love! Prayer-why We
cannot help loving then! The very life
is q prayer, clinging, delighted gazing
into Face which knows no turning, q
holding to the Hand which never loosens
its grasp, a speaking to Father whose
one great desire is the child's happiness.
Every act OF ours, every need. every
pleasure. every pain is as much Gods %
ours. and We know it, and knowing it as
We 90 to Him az the child to its mother,
as the bird to its nest, as the withered
flower to the moisture which falls and
kisses its upturned hungry face. Granted
a God and all else follows. His love for
US, our love for Him. presupposes prayer
as necessity.-Floyd Tompkins.
