When the lion eats grass with the
OK.
And the fishing worm swallows
the whale;
When terrapins knit woolen socks,
And the hare is outrun by the
snail;
When serpents walk upright like
men,
And doodle-bugs travel like frogs;
When the erasshopper feeds on the
hen,
And feathers are found upon hogs
When Thomas cats swimin the air,
And elephants roost upon trees;
When insects in summer are rare,
And snuff never makes people
sneeze;
When fishes creep over dry land.
And mules on velocipcdes ride;
When foxes lay eggs in the sand,
And women in dresses take no
pride;
When Dutchmen no longer drink
beer,
And girls get 10 preaching in time;
When billy goats butt from the rear
And treason no longer is crime;
When the humming bird brays like
an ass,
And potato bugs sing like the lark;
When plowshares are made out Of
glass,
And flies can be caught in the
dark;
When gas meters cease to tell lies,
And the COW jumpeth over the
moon;
When Yankees forsake pumpkin
pies.
And the dish runneth after the
spoon,
When streams to the fountains flow
back,
And Limberger smells like Cologne
When the skin Of the white man
turns black.
And the heart of a friend turns
to stOne;--
Then will Democracy be dead,
And Taft be our President;
Creager, for Congress, will be ahead,
And Bryan's influence will be
spent
Then, and not till then, will the
Third be Republican.

/ MODEST YOUNG HERO
OF THE STAGE

Thackeray says that a man can no
more command courage than he can
make himself six feet high when nature
has only given him five feet and a hall.
AS with courage, SO with heroism i has
20 be born in a man and when the oppor-
tunity arises the hero win be found equal
TO the occasion. A modest young hero,
whose name will soon be known and
honored all over the United States is
Master Mellor Newman. By hard work
accomplished. accompanied BY incessant
travelling, he supports his aged mother
and his father whom some years ago was
stricken blind.
Nature was very kind to young Mellor
Newman in giving him soprano voice Of
wonderful sweetness and power Of extra
ordinary compass. Melor supplemented
natures gift by study and constant prac-
tice until although only fourteen years OF
age at the time. he became recognized IN
81. Louis, his native city and the home OF
his parents, as the greatest boy singer OF
the west. He was the principal soloist Of
Grace church in that city and his appear
ance in the choir was always signal Tor
church crowded to the doors.
Young Newman's heroism is shown by
the fact that unlike most other boys that
are retted and fatted. he is not spoiled
by adulation and honors and lcves his
parents. Regularly as each Monday comes
round in St. Louis so also comes a letter
to the dear mother and blind father con-
tanning the major part Of the boysweekly
salary. Newman's ambition Is to earn
and save enough money to purchase a
home for his parents and thosewho know
the boy are satisfied that he will realize
his ambition. Master Newman has other
tastes besides that of music. He is very
fine baseball player and were he not a
professional singer, tits more than probable
that he would become professional base
ball player. He has been engaged by Mr..
w. w. Newcomer as the principal soloist
in ". B. Gray's pastoral drama The
Volunteer 0rganist" for a season Of forty
two weeks. Young Newman is wise
enough to know that boys voices change
al some time or other, so while still appear
inc in public he is earnestly studying for
the ministry.

When George Washington gave ut
terance TO his famous dictum: TO be
prepared for war is one Of the most
efiectual means OF preserving peace
he doubtless knew that everybody
would recognize his improvement upon
the saying which appears in Horace
In this form: In peace, as a wise
man, he should make suitable prepara-
tion for war" while Publius Syrus had
put 1t in essentially the same manner:
I'VE should provide in peace what we
need in war"

THE wATER pEPARrMENr INQUIRY.

a N EFFORT is making to place the Water
Department before the community as
something practically immune from criticism.
Any probing of the department. according to this
view is merely the outcome of a political con-
spiracy which seeks to convert the department
into political machine The cry is heard that
the investigation is costing the city so much
money that the taxpayers are becoming dis
tressed.
We think, in passing, that the chief concern of
the taxpayers should be to try to find out why
the expenses of the department have increased so
much and to learn whether the department is
being conducted on a businesske basis. Small,
indeed, would be the expense OF the inquiry
should its outcome be a reform in some of the
methods of the department.
1t must be remembered that an examination of
other city departments has been going on, and
Mr.. Gleason has given the authorities suggestions
which, if followed, will result in the saving of
considerable money.
So far as the Water Department is concerned,
President Shaw and the department did things
which were pronounced illegal by the city soc-
itor and were generally admitted to be illegal
The investigation so far, it seems to us, has
shown that the department could pursue differ
ent methods which would lessen the expense of
management Even a most liberal view of the
matter forces the conclusion that there has been
a considerable waste of monay in the depart
ment
An attempt has been made to place Mr.. Shaw
in the heroic ATTITUDE of resisting the alleged de-
mands of some politicians. Commissioner Knox
has denied that such demands were made on Mr..
Shaw, but whether they were or were not made,
does not touch the vital point of the subject,
which is to find out If the department cannot be
conducted with less expense to the city.

Restoration Of confldenoe.

Atlanta Georgian.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Company,
one of the largest and richest corpora
tions in the world, has decided that the
financial element has so far recovered
from its late fears that the time Is
propitious for offering 1000, 900 of the
company's bonds to investors.
The announcement ~ this decision
should materially aid IN the restoration
Of public confidence generally in the
national financial situation. The off,
cials Of the Pennsylvania Railroad are
In close touch with the financial CEN
ters, where the panic of last fall had
It's origin, When these officials. with
their facilities for judging the situa-
tion, put ther own securities out before
investors. it can mean nothing less
than that they feel the PANIC is annibi-
lated and the money which has been
stored up on account Of 1t is again in
general circulation.
It is stated in the dispa tches bringing
this announcement that purchasers
have probably already been found for
the entire issue Of bonds. In this
event, the restoration Of confidence is
even more complete. for the prompt
ness with which the securities were
placed proves conclusively that inves-
tors are no longer afraid TO risk their
money in the open market on railroad
securities.
With railroad fnanciers willing 10
put their choicest securities out again
upon the open market. and investors
willing to buy them on sight, we fail
