A Diagnosis Of kentucky.
1ChicaCO Tribune

Kentucky's hills arc full of rils
And all the rills are lined with stills,
And all the stills are full OF gills,
And all the gills are full of thrills,
And all the thrills are fun of kills.
You sec the feudists dot the hills,
And camp along the little rils,
Convenient to the busy stills.
And thirsting for the trimming gills.
And when the juice his system fills
Each feudist whoops around and kills.
Now, If they'd only stop the stills
They'd cure Kentucky s many ills
Men would be spared TO climb the hills
And operate the busy stills.
However. this would mean more gilis
And that; Of course. would mean more
thrills,
Resulting in the same old kills.
So all the hills aud rills and stills.
And all the oilis and thrills and kills
Arc splendid Cor the coffin mills
And make more undertaker's bills.

Modern Biblical Ignorance.

The prevalent optimism concerning the
present condition of American education
as a whole is broken by an almost unln-
nous confession OF failure in one partlc-
ular. The typical young American of to-
day, it is generally admitted, does not
know the Bible as his father knew IL.
" II is apparent" begins a recent reso-
luton of the National Educat ional Assoc
citation, that familiarity with the Enc
lish Bible as a masterpiece of literature
is rapidly decreasing among the pupils
in our schools" In all the comments
that have been provoked by the rest OF
the resolution there has been scarcely
any attempt to question the truth of 'tl'
preamble. y few years ago, public orlH-
ion, within the churches, at least VS.
shocked by President Thwings revelation
of the ignorance of a number of college
students whose acquaintance with biblical
illusions and quotations he had tested h'
means of an examination paper since
then, the decadence of American educ
ton in this respect has been the topic Of
many jeremiads from the pulpit and I'D
the press, journalists lamenting that tl.
style of speech and writing has con-'-
Quently deteriorated. and preachers he-
wailing a resultant lowering of the moral

Inter- Pines.

Far from the fevered fret of trade and
town
Far from the noontide's pulsins hum
and heat
Past stream and stile, up shady slope and
down
a dim path winds
And, winding finds
Deep in the pines a clustering retreat
Where ripened cones and needles crisp
and brown
Outspread a fragrant carpet for the
feet
Like ancient monks, uplifting priestly
arms
High overhead in blessings, murmured
low
The pine trees stand: and all life's vain
alarms,
Its wild unrest
OF brain and breast.
Speed swift as blooms when winds Of
Autumn blow.
And in their stead, as silence after
Glides gentle Peace with noisless tread
and slow.
The cravings keen for all the vain may
The tense desires for worldly power and
place.
Find sweet sureease within this holy
haunt,
Where. Speeding wings
From sordid things,
The soul mounts upward for fleeing
space.
While winds and pines lift grand eathed-
raj chaunt,
And meets its God and Maker face to
face.

Magazine.

heard of your triply-strung oath. l have
heard that you have sworn to plant the
flag of England on the roof Of every
American home, or. failing that, on its

The colonel's face glowed with fierce
anger.

Ashe, that you have vowed to take

There was a moments tense silence,
when Mistress Ashe spake again.
" Heaven grant that our leaders in war

For never, Col. Tarleton. from the Ashe

den from her uplifted hands.
Drenched with the rudy dew, her hair
crowned with the rose wreath that had
fallen from the bowl as she cast ii from
her, with red rose petals fiutterng from
erect shoulders to high arched feet, she
made a picture beautiful, dauntless.
Gen. Leslie dropped his glass untouched
on the crimson wreck that had splashed
its brilaincy over the waXened floor of
the hall.
