And Love Remains.
If you have seen in summer skies
The wondrous silver moon arise,
And slowly climbing through the night
Ger dancing seas dispense her light;
If you have seen in northern skies
The pale aurora flash and rise,
Then shoot long streams of pallid hue
Through heavens dome serenely blue;
If you have seen at break Of day
The golden sun start on his way
To shed.his warmth DER all the earth,
And gladden. those Of mortal BIRTH
If you have seen in mountain dell
The rushing torrent heave and swell,
Then headlong from the high cliff DASH
While woodland echoes to the crash;
If you have loved and love remain
Why, bless me, you've not lived in vain

David B. Hill made the direct. as

that when Roosevelt assumed the presi-
dency after the death Of Mckinley,
he then pledged himself not. to be a
candidate. On this showing he made
his famous break, calling the president
"fraud.' The Hill story has been
nailed by Secretary Wilson as a plain
lie. The secretary was present at the
occasion referred to, and says that
Roosevelt made no remark that could
be tortured into such a construction

James Carleton Young'Sr BOOKS ana Fills
Plans for Them.
Minneapolis people who love books coll
lectively and individually are awaiting
with some interest a definite and de-
tailed declaration of the plans of James
Carleton Young. one of their fellow citi-
zens, with regard to his splendid library.
They shave learned thru literary Journals
that it is his ultimate purpose to place
this library at the disposal of the public,
suitably housed. The latest statement to
this effect comes from the pen Of Cyrus
Townsend Brady and appears in the Sep
TENDER number of The Critic. Mr.. Brady
quotes Mr.. Young as to how he came to
make hts collection and as to his inten-
ton with regard to it, Doubtless the
quotation contains all that Mr.. Young is
ready to say as yet of his purposes. But
it. contains enough to show that Mr..
Young's ideas are large and are likely
some day to be realized in a way to add
to the fame of the city as seat OF
learning and, culture and to Mr.. Young's
!repute as a patron of literature. We say
add to Mr.. Young's repute,'' for Mr.
Brady says: 81 suppose him to have 6
larger acquaintance among literary people
than any man who has ever lived.'

The Battle Of Liao-yang.

Kuropatkin has withdrawn across
the Tai-tse river from Liao-yang, leav
ing the city to the Japanese. The Rus
sian war office says the movement was
in accordance with a "well- defined
idea and was solely for the purpose
of meeting Kuroki's = fanking move
ment on the north bank of the Tai-tse.
However that may be, the defeat of the
Russian right center by General Oku's
army ON the south and the vicious at.
tacks on the east, made the movement
opportune, and the ( withdrawal has
Somewhat the appearance of flight. -.
The simple truth of the matter seems
to be that the position got too hot for
the Russian general. Defeated on the
. south, hammered mercilessly on the
east, and threatened from the rear,
there were only two courses open to the
Russian commander-either to stay in
Liao-yang and face what was almost
certainty of being completely sur
rounded, cut off from his line of COM
munications with Mukden and reduced
to a state Of siege for the winter, or
to beat hasty retreat across the Tai
tse to meet Kuroki. Very wisely he
chose the latter course. To have
adopted the former course would have
been to invite ultimate disaster of an
overwhelming sort. The adoption Of
the latter course, however, may not
save him from such fate, for by many
it is regarded as having been made too
late
IF the railroad to Mukden has been
cut, as there seems to be grave reason
for believing, Kuropatkin must give
battle where he stands, on the north
bank of the Tai-tse, as the Russian
war office says he will, or else fight
his way to the northward, with the
japanese shifting him hip and thigh.
The battle. of Liao-yang, therefore,
with It's loss Of many thousands on
both sides, has been disaster to Rus
sian arms, and has removed still fur.
Their into the future that ultimate vic.
toryD in which Russia has placed her
hopes from the first. Despite the fact
that the Russian war office says XII
ropatkin is in a stronger position on the
north bank of the Tai-tse than he was
on the south, he has just that much
more ground to retake in order to at
tain "ultimate victory and he has
been placed in a position where. il
seems he must fight a foe switch ha:
beyond all question shown itself his
superior in every way. The anxiety
reported from ST., Petersburg, in thu
light Of all this, would seem in trutl
to be anxiety lest, after all, that 'sulti
mate victory" be turned into ultimate
and ignominious defeat. ..>.,-.. 49,. =.

The Passing of the Crazyquilt.

+ - 4 .-
The absence of the crazyquilt from
the state fair exhibits would hardly be
thought of as fact having a deep So
Geological significance, but it has been
so interpreted by a thoughtful reporter
who suggests that it is important as an
evidence that this is a faster age than
that in which our foremothers lived.
They had time to make crazy quilts;
their daughters and granddaughters
haven t.. They spent hours and days
and weeks fitting the pieces together;
their descendants are too busy with
club work, with golf and automobiling
to patch quilts. Perhaps it is just as
we'll; perhaps making bedclothing is a
better way to employ the machinery of
the factory than to employ the wife and
daughters of the family.
But what a lot Of fun the women and
girls of the present day miss when there
are no more quilting bees and no more
long afternoons spent in delicious Cos
sip or in the exchange Of delightful con-
fidences by the intimates of the girl
