Tennyson's Point of View.
The Interpretation by Miss Alice Ger
trude Neldon Of Ohio of ''Tennyson' s
Point of View" which was read by Prof.
Cav. was warmly praised by the students
of the sign language. II was explained
that her subject was one Of the most diff
cult to interpret. She said In part:
Should a poet wish to give his work
the greatest possible scope and the most
vital power. II Is essential that he should
keep in close sympathy with the common
life Of his time. There are poets who
have relied chiefly on classical myths to
win permansnce for their verse. and some
have succeeded thereby. Yet II is the
poet who best portrays common life that
has the most constraining power"
She concluded by reeiting verses from
''Rizpah,' Dora" and THE Palace Of
Art

The Doctor
Whose Patients Hang On
BY Herbert Kaufman.

BY Herbert Kaufman
Out in China all things are not topsy

An advertising medium must be Judged
in the same way. The fact that it has age to
its credit isn't so important as the age of its
advertising patronage. Whenever daily con-
tinues to display the store talk of the same
establishment year after year, it's pretty sure
sign that the merchant has made money out
of that newspaper, because no publication can
continue to be losing investment to its GUS
toners over a stretch of time without the fact
being discovered And when a newspaper is
not only able to boast of an honor roll of stories
that have continued to appear in its pages for
a stretch of decades, but at the same time
demonstrates that it carries more business than
its competitors it has proven its superiority as
plainly as mountain peak which rises above
its fellows.
The combination of stability and progress
is the strongest virtue that a newspaper can
possess. Only the fit survive-reputation is
a difficult thing to get and harder thing to
hold-it takes merit to earn it and character
to maintain it. There is vast difference be-
tween fame and notoriety, and just as much
difference between a famous newspaper and
notorious one.
Just as manufacturer is always eager
to install his choicest stocks in a store which
has earned the respect of the community, just
so a retailer should be anxious to insert his
name in a newspaper which has earned the
respect of its readers. The manufacturer feels
that he will receive square deal from store
which has age to it's credit He can expect
as much from newspaper which is a credit to
its age!
The newspaper which outlives the rest
does so because it was best fitted tot had to
earn the confidence of it's readers-and keep
it. 1t had to be better newspaper than any
other, and better newspapers go to the homes
of better buyers. Every bit of its circulation
has the element of quality and staying power.
And it is the respectable, homelovng element
of every community the touts and the
gan,blers-toward which the merchant must
look for his business vertebrae-he cannot
find buyers unless he uses the newspaper that
enters the homes And when he does enter
their homes he must not confuse the sheet that
comes in the back gate with the newspaper
that is delivered at the front door.

ural that we should get the impression
that irrigation is well adapted for recla-
out considerable area Of this country
outside the arid lands Of the west irri-
cation has been found to be indspensa-
BILE to the growth Of agricultural prod

areas of land even in the humid parts of
this country which, while it cannot be
denied that they produce good crops dur
ing q part of the season or several full
seasons in succession, yet are subject TO
occasional droughts, which have destroy

possible to put stop to the injury OF

ton makes it almost inestimable. as riv-
ers deposit fertile sediment upon the land

Congress directing the irrigation OF four

small factory town of Arundale, Eng
land, is employed at the porcelain fac
tory of Schippheim & Co, of which

Lady Muriel as she passes in a car
riage from her home. the Dale House,
two miles out of town. Patty looks
with disfavor upon honest, hardwork-
ing Joe Marks.
Paul Brumeau, a French artist, ar
rives, through the influence of Lady
Muriel, to take charge of the art depart
ment in the factory. Patty's grand
mother dies suddenly. Brumeau dis
covers that Lady Muriel loves Captain
Christian Meyer, nephew Of Mr.. Schipp-
helm. who is staying at Dale House,
and that Schlppheim is paying atten-
ton to Patty. Joe Marks resents the
presence of Brumeau at Patty's gate
and he and Patty quarrel. Lady
Muriel vainly advises Patty to live

A QUEER YOUNG MAN.

Dear Margery Doom.
/ am a young lady and love a young
man h same age as myself. When
we first met he came regularly to see
me but not long ago he stopped COM
ing. When we meet he stands and
talks to me, and asks me to go out
with him. but he never keeps his prom
ises. He does not call to see me any
more. When he is talking to other girls
he never let's ON he secs me till I
have passed, and then he watches me.
He gets angry IL he sees me talking to
any other fellow. Please tell me what
to do. WORRIED.
I think you are foolish to bother with
this young man at all. A certain type
OF young man thinks there is no better
fun in the world than to Jolly some
believing young girl. I'd advise you
to forget him. II he cared for you he
would want to gee you in your own
home, and he would not ignore you
when other girls were about.

"How will the hair be worn this sea,

we have been wearing for several

parted at the left side-merely a sug-
sestion of a part-and drawn back
loosely over the ears, to give the Wide

THE THREE PRINCES.

MN ANY years e there lived a pow
lV erfull king who had a lovely and
beautiful daughter. Now, adj
Joining his kingdom were those of three
princes, named Strength, Cunning and
Patience.
You must know that in those days
every knight had on his shield the pic
ture OF his favorite animal. Now our
three princes were no exception to tine
rule. Strength had adopted the ele-
plant for his emblem, Cunning had
taken the fox, while the shield of
Prince Patience was adorned by a great
eagle with outstretched wings.
These three princes were suitors for
the hand of the kings daughter, and
as the matter could not be settled
peaceably to the satisfaction of all, 1t
was decided to allow the elephant. the
fox and the eagle to fight it out be-
tween them.
First, the huge elephant and the fox
engaged in battle, but the cunning Cox
by his craft soon won the encounter,
for when the elephant charged upon
him he quickly jumped to one side md
the elephants tusks were buried deep
into a tree, and he was not released I'M
til he admitted himself defeated.
While the fox was coneratulating
himself, the eagle, vino mad been pa
tiently waiting an opportunity. sud-
denly swooped down from the sky and
caught him up in his talons and car
ried him to the top of a high noun
tain, where he was held st captive until
he accepted defeat aud acknowledged
the eagle the victor.
Then Prince Patience claimed his
bride and took her away to his own
kingdom amid much rejoicing. Which
only goes to show that strength and
cunning are not always the winners in
this worlds battles.
