HOW, WHY And THAT.

How shall fallen world be set on
its hind legs and started off right? By
holding Sunday meetings in the noble
Woolsey Hall.
Whatare those who are mildly object
ing to the holding of such meetings
guilty of doing? HAPPY fighting against
the Associated Civic Societies of New
Haven and God. -.+.
Why has the corporation Of Yale Uni
versity discovered and applied a rule
that will prevent The holding of such
meetings next year? Because 1t has
discovered that even some of those edu-
Gated and educating at Yale are not
gifted with sure wisdom, and because
1T isn't ready to seem to announce that
Yale is open to and for anything and
everything from sloppy Sunday to
poor politics and Socialism.
Why have some who were at first in
favor of the Sunday meetings at Wool
sey Hall changed their minds? Because
they were careless at first and are care
full now.
How could the queer mess have long
ago been made less queer? By less
diplomacy" and more decision.
Why is this world so solemnly funny?
Give it up.

THE BOURBON PALACE.

The Democratic party ought to be
able Ito take a melancholy interest in
the fact that the Palais Bourbon has
been condemned. 1t has seen MANY
ups and downs. Two palaces were built
there towards the end of the seven
teenth century, just after the land had
been reclaimed from the river. One of
them belonged to the Duke de Lassay.
the other was built by Nine, de Mon
tespan, who died there in 1749. Her
grandson, the Duke of Bourbon, who at
the Revolution emigrated to Coblentz,
bought the two palaces and employed
Pajou and Coustou to unite and beau
tify them. His estate then stretched
as far as the Esplanade des Tnvalides,
where the French Foreign Office now
stands. This enlarged palace was one
of the first places to be seized by the
convention, who called it "the House of
the Revolution" The ministry of pub
lie works was established there, and
then the Polytechnic School, where
young artillery officers and engineers
were trained. The Council of the Five
Hundred met there for some time be-
fore moving to st. Cloud, and in 1906
the first national exhibition was held in
it. The front, which now looks towards
the Madeleine, was built in 1904, and
the statues of Wisdom and Justice
which, Girardin once remarked, the
deputies left outside the doors-were
placed there soon afterwards When
the Duke of Bourbon returned in 1916,
with other emigrants, he allowed the
deputies to remain, but charged them a
rent of $4,000 a year.

The Advance of Courtesy.

I'm sure the world is not SO bad, for,
just a few days back
An automobile felled me in its hot and
dusty track:
rose and fell and rose again, quite
shocked and somewhat dazed,
When, 10! the chauffeur stopped his car
and came with cap appraised!
stood and felt to see if l had broken
arm or leg;
He helped me dust my clothes and said.
Excuse me. sir, I begw
And then he got my stick for me and
hunted up my hat!
The world is growing better, / am
mighty sure of that!
When from car the other day I fell
into the mud
While leaping off to get my street and
smeared my nose with blood,
L rose, and, 10! the car had stopped and
the conductor came
To see If l was dead or not and ask of
me my name!
And then he said: I'm sorry, STRIP and
did not even laugh!
His sympathy quite took my breath
reduced my anger half,
ana then he helped me find my bag and
sped me on my way!
The world is getting better-getting
better every day!
And on the street the other day, as ]
was passing by,
A woman jabbed her parasol an inch
into my eye;
My blindness overcame me quite, and
when she looked at me
She really seemed a bit concerned and
waited there to see
IF I would really lose the eye and then
she said: "Oh, deari
have been very thoughtless, sir, and
careless, too. fear!'
She left me with a CHEEKY smile and so
say it DER:
The world is getting better than it ever
was before!
While going home the other night the
car was crowded so
A man who weighed three hundred
pounds stood on my equity toe,
And after standing there awhile he saw
what he had done,
And then transferred his mighty bulk
unto my other one.
1t was thoughtful act, indeed, and
very very kind.
Which made me glad to find him so to
courtesy Inclined:
Tis little things like these along lifes
rough and stormy way
That prove the world is growing some

Late explorations of the Italian coast
near Pompeii have changed the opinion
of antiquarians. The submerged Ro-
man ruins along the coast used to be
regarded as foundation walls thrown
out for sea baths, but it was made clear
that they are the remains of noble
mansions, and that they point to the
time when the land on which they
stood was far above the level of the
sea. The shore is, in fact, strewn with
the wrack of buried cities. Coast roads
have vanished, ancient quarters have
been flooded, and the breakwaters of
the harbors of classical story covered
eathonns deep with water. A great sub
marine sea wall, with concrete piers
seventeen feet high, still protects the
fragments. But neither the fragments
nor the great sea wall have been wish
ole in the light of day for two thousand

THE HELPFUL HEN.

Modest merit occasionally gets recog-
nized in this world of bluff and gall,
In the congress of the United States
the other day the gentle, modest, indus
trious and helpful hen got a tribute
which, while not adequate, was worthy.
1t was paid her by Representative A.
F. Dawson, of Iowa. The opportunity
for which the eloquent member from
Iowa had long waited came when the
House took into consideration the bill
making appropriations for the Depart
ment Of Agriculture. Then Mr.. Daw-
son arose. Poets may sing said Mr..
Dawson, "of the glory of the eagle, and
artists may paint the beauties of the
birds of plumage, but the modest
American hen is entitled to a tribute
for her industry, her usefulness and her
productivity. The American hen can
produce wealth equal to the capital
stock of all the banks Of the New York
Clearing House in three months, and
still have a week to spare. In less than
sixty days she can equal the total pro-
duction of all the gold mines of the
United States. In one year and ten
months she could pay off the interest
bearing debt of the country"
True for you. And we may perhaps
he permitted to add that the hen is
of the sex that rules and crowns the
world.
