And stone bruise swelled nv toe.

With pinhook and worm
And how did enjoy
Seing the little sucker squirm.
Just how that sucker felt that day

Never entered in my boyish head
For had no time for thought;
Another section of red worm went
Went quickly on the pin,
And in the "swimmin' hole" it dropped
To lure his next Of kin.

Where the freckles used to grow,
And the heart now gets the bruises

DIR. Edward Everett Hale pro-
pounded the following question to q
company of scientists In Washington
some days ago: aWhat achievement
of the past year is most worthy Of a
commemorative medal?"
The trend Of the answers was to-
ward the exploit Of Amundsen in
trayersing the Northwest Passage
from the Atlantic to the Pacific, or to
the more significant exploit of the
Wright Brothers, of Dayton, Ohio,
who repeatedly succeeded in aerial
flight in machine much heavier
than the air.
It is natural tendency Of the SCI
entific mind to give first rank to indi-
yidual discovery or exploit rather
than to bring into account all achieve
ments, giving first place to that which
responds most successfully to the
greatest need Of the time.
Experts In statecraft will, doubt
less, concede that under the present
conditions Of our national develop
ment it is quite possible for the great
est general good to result from
some extremely keen and far-reach-
ing achievement III administration,
and III the mind 81 the writer such an
administrative achievement has &C.
tualIy characterized the past year. |

Sentiment and utility are not al
ways opposed to each other argues
the Washington Post. In fact. the
sentimental more frequently is the
strongest promoter OF the useful. For
instance, patriotism is sentiment.
But for love of country an American
citizen would behold the Stars and
Stripes with as little interest as he
would feel in looking on piece Of
white muslin. The usefulness of love
of country will not be disputed. AL
though patriotism, or profession of
1t, is sometimes the la1L refuge of a
scoundrel," it is normally most po-
tential stimulant Of great and good
deeds.
