THE HOUSE BY THE
SIDE OF THE ROAD.

('He was 'riend to man, and he
lived in house by the side of the
road. .''-Homer.)
There are hermit souls that live with
In the place of their self content;
There are souls, like stars, that dwell
apart,
In a feliowless armament;
There are pioneer souls that blaze their
paths
Where the highways never ran
But let me live by the side of the read
And be a friend to man.
Let me live in house by the side of
the road,
Where the race of men go by
The men who are good and the men
who are bad,
AS good and as bad as I,
I would not sit in the scorner's seat,
Nor hurl the cynie's ban
Let me live in a house by the side of
the road
And be friend to man.
I see from my house by the side of the
road,
By the side of the highway of life,
The men who press with the ardor OF
hope,
The men who are faint with the strife.
But I turn not away from their smiles
nor their tears
Let me live in my house by the side of
the road
And be friend to man.
I know there are brook -gladdened
meadows ahead
And mountains of wearisome height;
That the road passes on through the
leng afternoon
And stretches away to the night.
But still rejoice when the travellers
rejoice,
And weep with the strangers that
Nor live in my house by the side of the
Like man who dwells alone.
Let me live in my house by the side of
the road
Where the race OF men go by
They are good, they are bad, they are
weak, they are strong,
Wise, foolish-so am I.
Then why should I sit in the seorner's IS
seat
Or hurl the cynic's ban?
Let me live in my house by the side OF
the road
And be friend to man.

BASSADOR To u.s..
Takahira Says It Would Be the Most
"lnhuman Event in Worlds History
and Too Hellish to Be Thought of
All Newspaper Talk-He Has
Been Away Two Years.

New York, Feb. 1S.-Declaring that
war between the United States and
Japan would be the most 'inhuman
event in the worlds history" and was
too hellish" to be thought of, Baron
Kogoro Takahira, the new Japanese
ambassador to Washington, said Sun
day, upon landing in New York from
the steamer Etruria, that the Japanese
knew absolutely nothing of break in
the cordial relations which have been
historic between the two nations. Talk
of war, Baron Takahira declared with
much emphasis, was utterly unintel-
ligible to him, unless, as some one had
suggested, it was spread broadcast to
serve the commercial ends of some
newspapers. The new ambassador
said there might be some matters pend
ing in Washington which would re-
quire his attention, but they were not
serious. AS to the cruise of the Amer
lean fleet to the Pacific ocean, he re-
garded it purely as a naval maneuver
on grand scale, designed to show to

cause, which always is at the bottom

hira will leave for Washington tomor-
row morning at IL o'clock to present |
his credentials to President Roosevelt |
He is warm personal friend of Mr.
Roosevelt, and is looking forward to
his meeting with the chief executive
with a great deal of pleasure. The
baron is returning to the American
capital after an absence of two years
spent in Rome as ambassador to Italy.
The baron left Washington as minister
and was subsequently elevated to the
rank of ambassador. He was one of
the Japanese ENJOYS at the Portsmouth
peace conference.

reasonableness of rates, or any other
line of proper investigation.
