OF those who faced the foe In red,
Heroes to Freedom born and bred,
In ragged regimentals;
Tho drums OF Concord beat once more,
Tho guns OF Trenton lash and roar,
And Marion sabers as Of yore
Where stand the Contineutals,
I WATCH tho madly charging Line
Where shouts arise and bayonets shine
About Columbia's earliest shrine,
tyrant's mandates scorning;
Hurrahi hurrahi the field is won, ~
And proudly in the soaring sun
Unfurls tho flag of Washington,
And greets the glorious morning
I HEAR the bells that far away
Proclaim the Nations natal day,
From mount to mount, from spray to spray,
From brook to rushing river;
The deeds Of sires we proudly claim,
They rest within tho Hall Of Fame,
Their battles live, each noble name
Our heritage foreveri

And at the forge Of battle broke

Roosevelt's Epigrams.

1t is almost irritating to be patronized as to
be wronged.
The country districts are those in which we
are surest to find the old American spirit.
A man, to be a good citizen, must first be a
good breadwinner, a good husband, good father.
The forces which made these farm-bred boys
leaders of men are still at work in country
districts.
In the long run, the only kind of help that
really avails is the help which teaches a man
to help himself.
Almost all of our great Presidents have been
brought up in the country, and most of them
worked hard the farms.
Hardness of heart is a dreadful quality, but it
is doubtful whether in the long it works more
damage than softness of head.
Material prosperity without the moral lift to-
ward righteousness means a diminished capacity
for happiness and a debased character.
We live in an era when the best results can
only be achieved if to individual self-help we
add the mental self-help which comes by com
bination

1t is an interesting and dispassionate "History
of the Standard Oil Trust" that Miss Ida Tarbell
is writing for McClures Magazine. We have been
especially impressed with the December and Jan
uary articles showing how in it's infancy the trust
was enabled to stife competition and establish
itself by securing special and secret concessions
from the railroad companies that the people had
chartered and fostered as public carriers. Many
other monopolies have been built up by just such
methods. Government ownership of railroads
has some evil features from which we should like
to see the country saved but it is certain that the
public welfare demands some more rigid form of
government control. For one thing the powers
of the Interstate Commerce Commission should
be greatly enlarged, but Congress has thus far
turned deaf ear to all appeals of this kind.

of our citizens to-day is called upon continually
to exercise the qualities we like to think of as
typical of the United States.
The true line of cleavage lies between the good
citizen and the bad citizen, and the line of cleav
age may, and often does, run at right angles t.

Has the Era of Great Wealth Come to Stay?

Society is fast becoming richer than was fore
shadowed in the most audacious dreams of the
past Measured by the standards of to-day, Croe-
sus was a person of very moderate fortune; and
the revenues of kings are of small account
pared with the incomes of the leading capitalists
of the twentieth century. There are those who
think that the recent production of wealth is
abnormal, and who are predicting a return tc
the old scale of values in the near future. There
are, however, no signs of any reduction of energy,
any decline of force, any exhaustion either of
the genius which creates wealth or of the material
out of which wealth is developed. There are, on
the contrary, many things which indicate that So
cety is in the early stages of wealth h-producing
period the like of which has not only not occurred
before, but has never been anticipated by the
most sanguine men of affairs. Great changes
will undoubtedly be made in the methods of dis
tribution of wealth, but there will be diminu-
ton in it's production. Historic processes are
now bearing the slow fruitage of time in the open
ing up of the entire globe, the drawing together
of races in free competition in the field of the
world the discovery of the magical power of CO.
operation and combination and their application
to commerce and trade on a great scale, and,
above all, the application of science to business
in all departments, from the uses of chemistry in
manufacturing to the of electricity in swift
communication and conveyance of goods.-Hamil-
ton W. Mabe, in the October Century.
1t is not always easy to be content with ones
surroundings or possessions; is it always
necessary. To be content with such things as
we have is not intended to make us lazy and
Indifferent to the things ought to strive for,
but to keep us peaceful in the place God has
evidently placed us. Much unhappiness is caused
by fretful discomfort, which is a condition of
mind different from noble discomfort that seeks
to rise higher and grow stronger both in man
hood and possessions-for the sake of better ser
vice. But there is a wholesome bit Of philosophy
which may serve Us in hours of foolish longing
after things clearly impossible to "If you
haven't what you like, try to like what you have"
There is the secret of really getting what you
like" and it is also the secret of contentment-
