Indian that cruelty which is inbred, and clings
to him through life. AS boy his special delight

Carly EspbaIt Roads.

History and tradition have furnished
us with the basic information which
has guided us in building the civiliza-
tion of today. 1t is said that in prehis-
toric times the Incas of Peru built
roads that extended from the tropically
heated valleys up the mountains to the
regions of perpetual frost, using the
natural asphalt rock, and these roads
are in good condition today. The dis
covery of a large section in Kentucky
covered with asphalt rock, which scien-
fists have pronounced a perfect and
natural combination of asphalt and
quartz sand, most valuable for paving
purposes and far superior to any arti-
fetal combination that could be made,
is of vital Importance, says the Ameri-
can Asphalt Journal. The day may
not be far distant when every city and
village will have all streets paved with
asphalt rock, material which is not
only the most durable, but cleanly and
noiseless.

St. HsMstine's Chime.

High in the old cathedral tower they hung
Four ancient bells, the bronze arpeggio
That called to prayer the gray monks long ago,
And marked the hour while mass was said and
sung.
Over q land Of fragrant flowers they flung
Petals of music that were wont to blow
Out of the rose of Time, whereof we know
Naught save how sweet it Is, and ever young.
Listen! across the midnight comes their CALL
Twelve In succession sound the bell notes clear:
A day has gone, another day begun.
Awake! hear them saying as they fall:
Vale, HispanidF Day of shadows drearl
Ace, Amertca! Day Of joy and sun!

And tho the object seemed to flee away
That so longed for, ever day by day

Yet never gave 1t o'er.

mother-in-law as long as he lived. Had
he been willing to earn his own living,
he would have dropped poetry when it
did not pay. His whole life was con-
tinuous record of digraceful scenes, in
terspersed with moments when he
wrote what my poetical friends would
probably call some very lovely ditties,
just too sweet for anything. to various
maidens, and which have gone down in
the pages of literature as works of art,
and are, according to my critics, a great
benefaction to the human race. Much
the same can be said of many other
prominent poets. Is it not probable
that Bonnie Annie Laurie made wise
decision when she discarded the poet
for a man made of sterner stuff?
Would that all women were as wise
and stunned the poet and the rake in
seeking helpmeet There would
probably be less misery and more hap
piness for the weaker sex.
In time of war the poet is gallant
soldier, bravest of them all. He fights,
rot with sword, but with rhyming
pen in some shady nook, far, far away
from the horrid din and noise of battle.
He sings the praises of our heroes and
defends his country in rhyme and song,
but as for standing behind the guns,
that's not for the poet. The roar of the
cannon might jar his train of senti-
mental thought which runs along in
such beautiful meter. Besides has not
the poet soul far above such common
things as war, work or commercialism !?
He stands apart from those who lead a
strenuous life, altho his wife may at
the time be standing behind wash
board bravely fighting off the wolf that
crouches near the door. Yes, verify, the
poet is man.
The HStar Spangled Banner" and
sMy Country 'Tis of Thee" stir the hearts
and emotions of all true Americans,
and we must admire the men who ex-
pressed these lofty sentiments; but they
are not entitled to the same credit and
honor as belongs to the brave and hum
BILE patriots who made possible their
theme.
To some of our substantial men, the
composition of poems serves as recre-
alton, and it is purely recreative
work; but they would despise them
selves if this one accomplishment was
the sum total of their abilities. They
realize that what we need in this bust
ling world is fewer poets and more
men.
Yes, the poet is a genius and as q
man he is an ideal one-just as much
as any other man who hates to work.

If Not Solomon, Who
Then?
ME controversy about author
ship of the book Ecclesiastes
has been one of long standing,

and the difference Of opinion
on this question seems to be as great
today as it was years ago. There are
many learned men who consider the
book of Hebrew origin, and they main
tain their point with some show of
reason. Some Of them even go so far
as to refuse to yield up their belief
that Solomon, the son of David, king
over Israel, in Jerusalem, wrote the
book of Ecclesiastes. These disputa-
tions between learned men are some
what confusing to the unlearned, and
the writer of this, who makes no pre-,
tension TO learning whatever, but stead
fastly refuses to let others do his think
ing for him, when he had occasion late
ly to make few remarks on the book
of Ecclesiastes, and the philosophy it
teaches, thought himself justified to
take the book itself for his guide, and
to disregard the opinions of Professors
Tom, Dick and Harry, however vehe-
mently these gentlemen may maintain
their right to pose as master minds of
this age, as disseminators of the only
brand of simon-pure erudition now in
the market.
But certain scribe, Mr.. 3. E. E.,
took exception to the article on Eccles-
tastes, and felt sorely aggrieved because

of emotions and he who can inspire it
is thrice blessed, and he who can SYM
bolize.the ''grand passion" in poetry is
inspired.
Altho poet-lovers are not always sue
cessful they invariably win our SYM
pathy. Annie, the daughter of Sir
Robert Laurie, discarded the poetical
Douglas for the more practical Fergu-
son; but do we not feel that Sir Rob-
ert used undue influence and that his
daughters heart must have been with
Douglas who wrote, "For Bonnie An
ME Laurie" ballad which has lived
through three centuries? Tho we have
no evidence that Douglas wrote any,
thing else which entities him to fame,
Scotland is not without poet who, by
his simple melodies has done much to
cement the Scottish people together.
Robert Burns is the magic key to every
Scotchman's heart. In Canada where
thousands of Scotch families are living
far away from beloved Scotland you will
find in each wanderers home picture
of "Bobbie" Burns. 1t may be rich
oil painting in the mansion or hum
BILE Autograph in the hovel, but you
will surely see it as it occupies the
place of honor in every Scottish home.
In the lumber camp and in the villages
when these practical, hard-headed
Scotchmen have finished their days toll
and gather together, their care and
hardship is forgotten and they find
happiness in listening to some oft re-
peated ballad which carries them back
to the Highlands again. The man who
can warm up the heart of Scotchman
and by his simple poetry Danish the
hard lines of care from the rugged face
of his countrymen has surely done
something.
The Irish have Robert Emmett, poet
and patriot. Perhaps love of poetry is
only exceeded in the Irish heart by
love of country. In fact patriotism and
poetry-love of country and love of
song-go hand in hand in every nation.
We have already seen how in times
of war even savages are inspired by
their poets. That civilized nations are
susceptible to the same inspiration
goes without saying. Did not the "Bat-
tie Hymn of the Republic" and "March-
ing Through Georgia" tighten the way
of our own veterans? And in times of
peace, times like the present, can we
imagine our own children studying
patriotism in prose? Rather let them
sing "My Country tits of Thee" and the
"Star Spangled Banner" These will
quicken the pulse. brighten the eye and
send thrill to the heart, which will
teach them that their country means

The Poet as a Man.
|NHE writer is glad to note that
the poet is not without valiant
friends, even in this village of

rrlenQS, even In ICnlS Vlllago OF
hustle and activity. We all
want and need friends, but the kind
the poet especially needs are those WHO
will supply him with his daily bread and
butter and relieve him of the cares and
toll usually allotted to the more common
man. It must not be expected that the
poet, who puts lovely sentiments into
rhyme will give any thought to such
vulgar things as the necessities of life.
Notwithstanding the excellent argu-
ments of my critics, am still of the
opinion that poetry is effeminate, and
while do not despise the effeminacy
of rhyme, but admit that in some poet
ry there is much to be appreciated, still
l cannot conceive of poetry writing as
being the regular vocation Of a level
headed, practical man. The poet is
simply a poet; for among all created
beings, from a practical point of view,
he is the most pitiable excuse for a
man. He knows nothing of those i'm
pulses which urge men toward more
practical things. He just dissipates
what little energy he has in writing
verses. In other words, he is the pro-
duct of laziness; whether he is born SO
or is a creature of evolution do not
know; at any rate no man is in more
urgent need of second birth than he
who devotes his whole time to the
muses..
To all practical intents and purposes,
the poet as man could just as well be
eliminated and the world would still
continue it's onward march, while just
the reverse would be true if we were to
have no more statesmen, inventors,
hod carriers and other practical men.
True, the poet is possessed of won-
derful imaginative power, but it is only
the mysterious imaginings of poesy
that circle about the. interior of his
Uranium. It never results in such an
idea as getting out and hustling like a
man; but, perish the thought! this fiow-
cry creature was not made for work.
In q practical man, imagination is a
motive power which leads him to think
out, not rhyme, but the possibilities OF
inventions that change the condition OF
mankind, make the world more COM
Portable and furnish conveniences be-
yond mans anticipations. The great.
est of all poets, compared to Edison is
an insignificant being.
The poet may be an imaginative be-
ing but he is still agood provider- that
is, of work for his wife, who is usually
the bread winner. She learns in good
time that all poetry in man makes
him no man at all. / have in mind 6

ALEXANDER IS BRIGHT.
Suspended the Constitution Adopted
in 1891 and Repealed 0bjec-
tionable Laws.

Belgrade. Servia, April liking AL
exander today executed a coup d'etat.
He issued two procli.snations, the first
decreeing a suspension of the constitu-
ton adopted April 10, 1901, repeating the
Objectionable law passed hereunder
by the retiring councillors of state, dis
solving the Skupshtina and re-enacting
the laws as they existed previous to the
constitution of 1901. The second proc
lamation restores this constitution to
it's former validity.
In the first proclamation the king
says the senate and the Skupshtina
created under the constitution granted
by him in 1901, passed laws which
proved impracticable. Furthermore the
constitution, by tending to fan politi-
cal passions prejudiced the interests of
the fatherland and hindered it's devel-
opment as state and nation. Affairs
in the Balkans, the king adds, are very
serious and Servia needs order, unity
and peace. She should offer a bright
example Of a peace-loving state and at
the same time always be ready to de-
fend her own true interests should this
become necessary for the purpose of
restoring the unity, strength and order
of the country.
