Donagh, who succeeded as king. Soon
after Donagh was deposed by war

Sacrifices of Newspapers

The general public often loses
sight of the services and sacrifices
OF newspapers in behalf of princi-
pie. 1t is taken as matter of
course in every political campaign
that a newspaper should espouse
one side or the other, but little
thought is given by the average
reader to what sacrifices are made,
what toll, what thought, what de.
votion, what unllagging zeal are
contributed by the numerous and
diversified personnel which consti-
tutes me vast organization of
journal. In no other
do we witness the same
unceasing, unselfsh fidelity 10
cause, the same unfIinching and
integrity of purpose,
the same disregard of pecuniary
loss, the same self-sacrifcing, ar
dent, unhagging enthusiasm to
or the same courageous
conservation to civic duty.

Hunor ano Philosophy
BY DUNCAN M. SMITH
THE SPRING scOURCE.

It's all right
To say
That you are sophisticated
And on to the ropes,
That you know the world,
The flesh
And the gentleman not mentioned
In polite society,
But,
If you have never lived
In a mud country,
My friend
With the laughing eye
And the sunny deposition,
You don't know what life is
Granted
You may have had appendicitis,
Corns
And poor relations,
But they are nothing
AS compared with the low
or pulling one foot out
OF the mud
While the other sinks deeper,
Allowing you to make
All of a quarter OF a mile
An hour
In your mad effort
10 Teacl tne poSt0fftCe
And get back home
Some time
In the same year.
TO see six strong horses
Weep bitter tears
Because they can't pull
A go-cart
BY reason of the mud
Is something of sight,
You'll allow.
When at every step
Your foot sinks through the earth
And tickles the foundations of
China,
You'll know you are living In
mud country
Without consulting any diagram
or waiting to see what the small
