Maxim GOTzcU
SINCE Maxim Gorkys visit to this country and
it's attendant sequel he has lost no opportunity to
malgn America. At first and Immediately after his
arrival he was so profuse in his admiration that he
ran short of superlatives. Some of our best known
writer's paid homage to him by attending banquet
in his honor in order to promote his mission to this
country He has shown the basest sort of in
gratitude by defaming those who contributed to his
cause and by denouncng the country that protected
him from the paid emissaries of his own land.
If Mr.. Gorky had confined his insults to those
who responsible in shedding so much brlliancy
on his martial relations this country could have
doned his puerile bingsgate. After all, it was the
secret agents of Russia who made the expose they
wished to stop the golden treasure that was flowing
into his pockets from American sympathizers Since
then he has unbottled the vles of his wrath and re-
fers to America land Of hypocrits This sort of
thing is quite harmless so far as America is con-
cerned, but it makes delectabIe reading for the
European lingo. If Mr. Gorky should ever again
visit Gods country, his reception might be less cor
dial.

RetrOSDectiON,

WHEN gets to be fifty years old and finds
himself in the penitentiary, he begins to do little
figuring We we're talking with such person the
other evening, and he admitted that, if be had not
neglected his opportunities, he would have been a
free man and fairly prosperous today instead Of be-
ing in the pententiary. No doubt there are many
in here who could echo his sentiments; and if they
could live their life again, they would strive to
be better by avoiding the stigma Of having been
in prison.
Hetrospection is something that the prisoner,
who is advanced in years. cannot very we'll avoid do
ing The past whether good evil, will parade it.
self before his minds eye so distinctly that he
cannot help seeing the jagged rocks on which his
character and reputation wrecked. He sees
the path which he should have taken, and which, if
followed, would have meant honesty and respecta-
bilty. He also the path which hefollowed, and
step by step he traces the which landed him
in prison.
If these retrospections are INDUCED in too fire.
quently they cause more harm than permanent good.
The man who spends more time in bemoanng the past
than he does in preparing himself for the future
doing himself more harm than good. There are just
as many opportunities today there was; and
he who is best equipped to seize these opportunities
is the man who is going to win fame and fortune.
The discouraged man. however, is not likely to see
the rich possibilities that descernible to he who
is alert and looking for them.
Verdi, the world renowned composer, met many
crushing defeats before he recognized great
musician. We should never let defeat conquer, nor
should allow ourselves to dwell too long on those
things that are beyond remedy. Retrospection, at
the close of each day. might help to live abet-
ter and decenter life, but it will profit
at the twilight of his life to weep his lost op-
portunities.

CALIFORNIA doctor is the latest person to in

Perhaps its strongest claim to popularity is the fact
that it contains words. In this respect the
doctor has achieved greater result than that of his
predecessors It is said that the doctor was at work
on this language for many years, and believes that
his invention is superior to anything yet produced
1t appears as tho universal language will yet
become reality Esperanto, however, is being given
trial, and in all probability 1t will prove acceptable

will be made to prevent the interstate shipment

measure would cause remarkable decrease in the

would prove very wholesome This sort of literature
has caused many youth to forsake his home and go

JUST ONCE IN A WHILE,

Just once in while if we'd think to convey
To those who walk with us lifes devious ways,
In gances words, half the joys that abide
In hearts because loved close by side
Ii we'd think but to garb in words tenderest dress
phrase that were sweet as mothers caress,
Cares road would be shortened by many mile;
If we'd think to be thankful just once in while
Just once in while if we'd lay down our load
Of worry and work by the side of the road,
And bit of the love that we're feeling expend
On sister or brother parent or friend,
In words that would tell them their makes light
The path which alone would grope thru the night:
How oft we'd be blessed with answering smile,
Ii we'd think to be thoughtful just in while.
Just once in a while if a hand were but pressed,
A shoulder but patted, word but addressed
That would hankfuness speak to the by side,
Would not JOY spur the feet to magical stride
AS they wended their down es main traveedroa
Would not gries slip away and thus Tighten the load?
For ourselves and for others we'd shorten each line,
