Sordid hopes and futile flames.
Spirit OF beauty high thy piaes
In the fashiOning OF the race.
In this temple, built To thee,

Lifting up all undeiled,

Humble TO be taught and led
And on celestial mama fed;
So to take into our lives

EUROPE NO LONGER JEALOUS

 On the lapel of his black coat was the blue bottom of the Congressional Medal of Honor. the only decoration conferred by the American republic.
 In spite of his frank, fluent, swift glancing wit, the pride of so many, many banquets. he is singularly reserv- ed in speaking to the public and 1t is to be understood that what he says in The World today is not to be taken as the utterance of an ambassador, but as the opinion of a private citizen liv- ing in Europe during the past eight years of American national transition.
 The change of opinion in Europe has been great and very rapid" he said. Before the Spanish war. when we were forging ahead and extending our commerce aggressively, the disposi- tion abroad was to view our purposes with suspicion. if not with alarm. European statesmen were puzzled When the Spanish war came on the tendency was to look with suspicion on our declaration that our sole purpose in intervening In Cuba had to do with peace and humanity
 An eminent American divine ex- pressed the situation when he said we told Spain that she must stop beating her daughter on our doorstep. We were not believed in Europe. It Is no exaggeration to say that at that time Europe came to the conclusion that we were to be reckoned with as a distinct ly belligerent power and that our pur- pose in going to war was the acquisi- ton of territory and the extension of our rule. -.s@../. .:.s+
 But our national conduct gradual ly converted those who believed so i'll of us. It was first seen that we paid $20,00O,000 in gold for the Philippine territory which we had acquired by conquest. It was seen that we gave the people of the Philippines a just and liberal government, It was also seen that we gave the island of Cuba back to its own people. That made a deep and favorable impression.

The statesmen of the world have come to believe that the United States is a vigorous commercial nation committed to a policy of fair dealing and peace Fresh from his eight years of service as American Ambassador to France. General Horace Porter spoke with great deliberation. No other living Amerf- can can speak so responsibly as ne regarding the general European view of the United States as world power. Since General Porter went to France as Amba ssador the nation has expanded its domain into the Pacific Ocean and Carribean Sea, crushed Spain. enlarged its commerce by leaps and bounds and interposed its influence in the struggle for the mastery of Asia.
 | In that astonishing period of national expansion the Ambassador to France remained in Paris watching the chang

Ny companion had a mind distinguish ed for Searching, ranging curiosity and it was to this characteristic, tt may be added. that our sight of Elm erson was due.
 Arrived at Concord, the bridge. the monument and the Old Manse were 'done." A momentary fear was felt returning to the village that the hall- storm of C-s questions addressed to a caretaker would batter down utterly an ancient roadside structure that showed bullet-marks of the famous battle. Passing through the village. e. was instant to call upon Emerson "A strong demurrer was of no avail. A downright refusal to accompany him availed as little. He went in. l wait led near the Wayside and reflected In n pale way of Bronson Alcott and in a less pale. but still moonlit, fashion of Hawthorne and his footfall in the grove on the hillside mounting direct ly behind the venerable old home While I stood there C. returned. re- porting Emerson away. but as certain to return from Boston at six o'clock.

She ap- proached us however and addressing us began to urge us to stay. Learn ing she was Mrs. Emerson. I said a word deprecatingly about intrusion. This was promptly put aside. MT.

We looked upon that somewhat drear body of water, inspected the ruins of Thoreau's hut and returned to the village only to have a native at the inn where we storped shatter romantic thoughts of the hermit of the woods. This native told us something within his own knowledge that some member of Tho reau's family used regularly at inter- vals to carry him a basket of supplies. After listening for some time to this and other natives talk catching at such proyincialisms as reminded one of : the Higlow Papers, in which I had re- ceRtly immersed myself.

 It is curious coincidence that John Hay and Horace Porter should have both served as officers in the Civil war should have been secretaries to Presi- dents of the United States-one to Lincoln and the other to Grant-and should have both written books about their Presidential chiefs; and that both should have been appointed Ambassa- dors-one to England and the other to France-on the same day and by means of the same piece of official paper.

His fatRer was twice Governor of Pennsylvania. He had none of the early struggles with poverty which mark the beginnings or most successful Americans. He entered Harvard University and while there he was appointed to West Point.
