IT'S a merry old world when the
heart Is young.
When happiness beckons and hope
lures on,
When the moonlight entices and
songs are sung:
Eyes shining with laughter, and
every tongue
Full OF promise and faith in the
things to be
IT'S a merry old jolly old world!
IT'S a busy old world when the sea-
sons tide
Is rushing us on in the high noon
glow.
And strength and power and man
hoods pride
Stem the forces OF Nature, and side
by side
Goes the struggle OF living. OF riches.
and need
'Tis hard old. busy old world,
IT'S funny old world that the plans
we laid
Should fail and miscarry--'tis strange
to see
Times vista illumine the parts we
played!
How the roles have altered, the
changes made,
Quite other rom what we had hoped
II to be-
IT'S queer old, funny old world!
When hope has vanished and pleas
ure Is gone!
IT'S a dreary old world when the
skies turn gray.
When the heartbeats are ticking the
end OF the day
The summons that beckons from
earth life away,
And world values perish, It's glories
decay
IT'S weary old, dreary old world!

Only n 18th as large as Holland,

Is one OF the most delightful Of
European countries. Yet It is almost

travel from Paris to Berlin uncon-
scious OF its nearness. Luxembourg
Is free and independent, and 1t is
quaint and fascinating. 1t boasts
free speech and free press, 1t has
free schools OF commerce, philosophy,

Its customs characteristic, including
an annual official hunt for wild bear;
and when the city bells ring out the
hours, they play some operate bit or

MAYOR 2sCHMITZ.

Soon after Eugene f. Schmitt was
elected Mayor OF San Francisco for
his first term he visited new York.
He was practically unknown; his only
fame rested on the fact that his
preparations for the Office to which
he had been chosen had been ac-
CURED while playing a cornet I'm a
theatre orchestra. His official conduct
never attracted particular attention
away from the Pacific Coast. When
he ran for office again a little was
heard OF him, but II was because of
the fact he represented organized
labor and the close shop that his can
didacy was considered worthy of men
ton.
The earthquake that overthrow
San Francisco gave Schmitz the
chance to make reputation, and
he was not slow In seeing It. In the
earliest reports from the city he was
named as one man who had kept his
senses, risen to the emergency and
served the public with distinction and
success.
Later 1t was asserted that he had
been only tool in the hands OF
Ruef in the earthquake and fire days,
Just as he had been before. or
Rufe's ability no one had doubt, but
the public was anxious to keep It's
hero, and Schmitz Is still on a pedes-
tai In many places.
1t is the reputation that came to
him this year that gives particular in
terest to his indictment for extor-
ton. All over the country there are
men who hope he is not guilty. They
do not know him, in all probability
they will never see him, but they
regard him as strong man, who |
proved himself in crisis, and they !
do not want to believe him an ex-
tortionist and n criminal. Were 1t
not for this, he might be sent to
prison for the rest of his life, without
attracting the slightets attention.

canism used day after day; and the
reason for its popularity is perhaps
to be traced to the fact that many
people are an to misspell 'gaol' by
course, that Jail" is not an Amer
icanism at all, but one OF two vari-
ant English forms. JAIL" from the
old French "jaiole," and gall" or
"gaol," which should be pronounced
like gale" It never is, except by
uninstructed Americans who come
upon 1t in print, and the reason for
this anomaly Is that the archaic form
"gaol" (Which was, by the way.
formerly spelled also goal" as bad
spoilers, according to the Chnocle,
spell 1t still) was preserved as a
printed form in England by law
books, the conservatism OF which Is
proverbial, and which naturally had
much to say about "gaols." But I'm
speech the GAIL" form triumphed,
and England now seems to- be suit
ing the spelling to the word as
America did long ago. But for that
matter, there was the best OF prece-
dents In English use for this So
called Americanism. Milton used It,
and Pope, while Addison came as
close to it as "jayl."

and return into private life: but
whatever may be the issue. this next
week or two will be critical for
Morocco. A disturbance OF the peace
will mean the Decentralization OF the
French and Spanish troops-and that
may mean anything. But from all
points OF view IL seems that Raisuli's
career is near its end-that the nigh
ty is about to fall.
Raisuli has justified the forecast by
falling from power In the Tangier
districts, where he had ruled as n
despot since Perdicaris was ransomed
from him. He had become an In
tolerable tyrant. and the European
powers would have no more OF him.
But Raisuli has not been captured.
He has fed to the mountains of the
interior and pursuit is impossible.
Tho most remarkable bandit OF the
time. born OF an aristocratic family
and high-bred physically and ment-
ally. remains an international prob
lem.

From tine immemorial the rose
has been regarded as an emblem OF
silence, having been dedicated by
Cupid to Harpocrates, the god of ST.
lence. Presenting or holding a rose
to a person was regarded as a signal
to hold his tongue, and in rooms IL
was usual to place a rose above the
table to signify that what was there
spoken should be kept a secret.

TEMPERANCE NOTES

The prohibition reform means more merely as phlanthropic enterprise than any other benevo- lent movement that we can even dream of. 1t would not alleviate poverty, but it would not prevent it. It would not take care of the insane, but would reduce insani- ty. It would not shelter and care for the millions of dwarfed, half fed, illiterate idiOtic or feeble minded children but reduce them to minimum. It would not turn the criminal loose upon our streets to idleness and plund- CT, but it would close the prison doors for lack of occupants. In fact it would so free minds of disorder. and so tighten hearts with joy that there would be no need for jails, and thousands who are today wearing stripes in penitentiary walls would never again have cause to stir the hot blood into murderous intent.

are now experiencing some real spring weather
 However Saturday was rather raw and the tremendous rain in the afternoon made matters rath. CT disagreeable. The thermome- ter fell to 54o Saturday night, butrose on Sunday to S3o. which was 5o degreesaaa aaabove summer heat. The rain fall Saturday measured 1 .61 inches, which is the heaviest fall of any day this spring.
 The heat continued through out the night, the lowest record ed was 62o. which is only a few degrees lower than the hottest nights we have during July and Augus st. But the warm spell is highly appreciated, for all condi- tionS are now calling for spell of summer.

 A man is foolish to propose to- a girl, who has not in a subtle
 
 way which is distinctly a compli-l ment to the fair sex, invited it. A minister during his dis course one Sabbath morning, said: In each blade of grass there Is a sermon. The follow ing day one of his flock discoy- cred the good man pushing lawn mower about his garden and paused to say: Well, parson, l am glad to see you engaged in cutting your sermons short.
