Letters.

One way, then, to keep our friend
writing as a duty If not pleasure.
High melted souls find pleasure in du-
ty. Marcus Aurelius, austere mOralist
as he was, tells us in his "Meditations'
that he had learned from one of his
friends, mot often nor without great
necessity, to say, or to write to any
man in letter, am not at leisure nor
in this manner still to put off those du-
ties which We owe to our friends and
acquaintance under pretense Of ur-
gent affairs"
Now, after resolutely determining
that nothing shall interfere with the
letter you owe to your friends, see to
it that it shall reflect yourself. Be not
stilted. Use the plain everyday Eng
lish Of your ordinary conversation.
Some there are who fill their written
pages with sesquipedalian terms from
Latin and Greek, passing by the strong
terse Anglo-Saxon idioms. They re
greet their inability to perform certain
things, when 1t would be so much more
natural to say, II am so sorry not to
be able to go to dinner this even
ing" This, after all, is kind Of af-
fectation which must be a part of the
character and goes to show the truth

How General HfcLenlOOper Bridged
the Tennessee River

How General Hickenlooper Brfdged
the Tennessee River.
One of General Andrew Hickenloop-
er's experiences in the civil war, as
told by himself, is thus related in the
Boston Transcript:
Zone evening with Mcpherson on
the Tennessee river | shall never for
get. There was no enemy in sight
and none expected. About an hour be-
fore shutdown 1 was suddenly sum-
moned to the generals tent and in
formed that our whole army of 10000
men must be across the river and start
ed after the Confederates by daylight
the next morning.
But, general l protested, there
isn't within forty miles a stick of TIM
Der big enough to carry an empty
caisson, and the wagons with the
ponies are ten miles back
" Il can't help that said Mcpherson.
The bridge must be built and the army
on the move before o'clock Good
night, Colonel Hickenlooperr
In my despair l went down to the
riverside and paced the bank for an
hour, trying to think out key to the
problem. AS chief of the engineer corps
l knew what was expected Of me and
that if l failed my career, both in mill
tary and in civil life, was at an end.
Wandering back about a half mile,
came upon an old gin filled with cotsS
ton. | suppose it must have held two
or three thousand bales. Here was my
salvation Why not build bridge Of
the cotton and use the old boards as a
roadway?
'Inside of half hour had large
detail of men on the ground We sank
the bales with large stones, laying two
tiers of four bales each clear across
the river and holding them in place
by two big cables stretched across on
the lower side. The boards OF the gin
made a tolerable roadway, but at the
best it was an awfully scaly job.
eat 3 o'clock | walked up to Nc
Pherson's tent and routed him out Of
bed General, the bridge is ready I
said.
Every well, colonel was me
response, and / had not walked three
rods before boots and saddles sound
ed and the camp became a bedlam.
Il crossed the bridge and stood at
the edge Of the water, expecting and
dreading to see the cables part under
the terrific strain, but they stood the
test, and at half past II the last
wagon had made safe passage and we
signaled ahead to Mcpherson, All
over
I'm little while 1 was called to the
general who was five miles ahead. AS
I rode up he saluted and said: That
was we'll done, colonel. Now you go
back and cuc the bridge loose, and I'll
telegraph the gunboats down the river
to pick up the cotton for you and your
assistant engineer
II thought that was first class re-
ward and Of course performed my part
of the work"
AS a matter of fact, he received no
reward for this extraordinary piece of
work except his satisfaction in having
accomplished what seemed like the
impossible.

Fiat Earth Theory.

Lady Blount, the well-known advocate of the
fat-earth theory, has thrown down the gauntlet
to the astronomers. In the Christmas number
Of Home Chat she characterizes the gIobular
hypothesis 1.-The greatest myth Of science"
and complains that orthodox astronomers do
not treat their opponents fairly and will not
meet their arguments
lone great stock argument on which our on
ponents rely" says Lady Blount '1s, of course

able experiments have been made, ships having
been clearly seen with powerful telescopes at
distances OF thirty TO forty miles. From Holv-
head TO Kingstown harbor is sixty miles and

turkey. Not wild trait habit seems 10 have

a little-by ell our efforts at home and abroad.
For the turkey has Travelled. He is strictly an
INSTRUMENTATION, perhaps-sailing first from
these shores early as 1926 and not returning
until the Pilgrims and early settlers brought
him back, larger bird than when he set out,
but still turkey as unalterably American as
ever.
That does not mean that he is a good Ameri-
can deserving the eagles place as our national
emblem. The turkey is unalterable because he
cannot learn anything. nearly brainless is he.

keys originally endowed with two wits and

Another Diplomat.

The American diplomatlst is also-in the eyes
OF some Of his colleagues disturbing circum-
stance The American ambassador or minister
has generally not been through a long course Of
training in the service-and he succeeds! 1t is
difficult to account for that! He comes to the
country To which he has been appointed makes
himself agreeable to all alike, does intrigue,
does not say thing and mean another and
pays more attention to commercial matters than
to court complications Nevertheless he pro-
notes the interests OF his country admirably,
and more often than otherwise secures the good
will of the government and people alike! 1t is
inexpiceble. 1t may be that some day the
European governments may remodel their respec-
tive services the new world system. and then
diplomacy, it is in the old world, win be
doomed.

BEGINNING TO SHOW SOME
INTEREST.

JudgesParker, of New York, is beginning
TO show some signs of interest in his pres
idential boom. From the first it has been
a feeble sort of an infant, to be brought
up on the bottle, and Judge Parker's dis
inclination to nurse it has been a surprise
to those who thought he would take 1T
eagerly TO his bosom. In other words, many
Democrats, and especially Western Demo-
Gratis. have been surprised that he should
show so little interest in the movement
to make him the party's candidate for
President this year. a certain amount of
dignity and reserve is all very well. but it
should not be carried to the freezing point.
Judge Parker's groomers thought that when
a presidential boom is making straight at
a man he ought at least meet it half way.
But Judge Parker is beginning to show
an interest. At a dinner given by prom
inent New York Democrats in Albany a
few nights ago the mention of his name
ELECTED great applause, and when he rose to
reply he told a story about Southern negro
who found himself the object of an impress
sive demonstration. He did not say whether
the crowd wanted possession OF the negro IN
order to lynch him or to carry him in tri-
umph on their shoulders. Apparently the
negro did not know either. for after he had
recovered his equipoise that had been dis
turbed by the demonstration he asked do
they want me. or are they only shouting?"
The application OF the story is obvious.
Judge Parker has reached a point when he
is ready TO ask what the talk about him
as presidential candidate means and
whether ii is sincere or not. He thinks
the party has been counting him long
enough without coming to any point, and
he wants TO know whether its intentions
are honorable. do they want me, or are
they only shouting?"
II there is any shouting for Judk Parker
IL is not among Western Democrats, and
Il il exists in spots in New York il is not
| likely 10 become contagious or epidemic.
| A decadent party that is looking for a
man TO conjure with and for leader TO
bring il out of the wilderness should try
and find one of whom ninety-nine out of
every hundred Democrats will not ask who
is ne and where does he live?" Judge
Parker should not mistake the shouting
OF a few Democrats in New York for all
of the party. and he should remember that
those shout best who shout last.

Successor to VoIapulx

There is denying the fact that esperanto
is growing, and growing rapidly A year or
two ago there We're probably not half dozen
persons in England who knew a word of the
new language, but now the number Of those who
speak and write esperanto is estimated AT
5000 on the continent IL grows even more
rapidly, and it is evident that ii will at least
outlast volapuk or any other of the so-called
international languages. At a recent meeting of
the National India Association. Sir George Bird
wood. the chairman, held up esperanto as a
new variety OF terror, and prophesied that il it
became popular it would mean that all the mod
ern languages would speedily become as dead as
latin. Sir George did conceal his dread
that this might happen, and his speech Will
greatly encourage the Esperantists Nobody
afraid Of volapuk but esperanto is
certainly very great improvement on that
ridiculous invention and II it does come into
anything like general aid TO com
