THE WORLD OF HOMER.
Ancient Idea Of the Earth and Its Mar
Gin of Water.

gin OF water.
Let us consider for one moment what
the idea of the world was-not. indeed.
at the earliest period of which we
have any knowledge. but at the dawn
among that Indo-Germanic people
whose descendants have overspread so
much of the earth. The world of Ho-
mer was a small, fat surface. in which
civilization was hemmed In by foreign
races. who again were surrounded by
a great ocean or river over which no
man had ever passed. The world of
which Homer had any definite notion
was Greece-a Greece which hardly
extended as far as the Balkans OH the
north and which scarcely included the
Levant and the islands in the Aegean
sea. No doubt he had some general ac.
quaintanee with world beyond these
narrow limits. He knew. at any rate.
some of the leading features Of north
ern Africa. He had heard. as was only
natural, of Egypt, whose civilization
had made such marked advances and
was exercising so much influence. He
had some knowledge of the great river
on whose recurring floods Egypt de-
Ponds for her prosperity. He had even
heard of the pygmies and of the Ethio-
plans who dwelt higher up its stream.
Some reports had reached him of
southern Italy. But 1t Is hopeless to
attempt to fit the geography of Homer
to the actual facts. If man were to
search today for the precise spot on
which Captain Lemuel CULVER was
wrecked in the first of his famous voy-
ages he would find that the Lilliput of
Swift was in the heart of Australia
and much in the same way. to quote
Mr.. Gladstone's language. the key to
the great contrast between the outer
geography (of Homer and the facts of
nature lies in the belief of Homer that
great sea occupied the space where
we know the heart of the Europen
continent to lie.'
1t is another indication of the small
ness of Homer's world that the ten
years war, of which he has given us
the concluding episode, was not. as
even Herodotus has described it. one
| of the opening chapters of the great
struggle which has endured throughout
historic times between east and west.
but contest between men of common
origin. 1t Is not a mere poetical H.
cense which makes Greeks and Ro-
mans address one another in the same
language. Yet the world of Homer,
small as it seems to us. seemed large
to him. Compared with the mighty
oceans which men now traverse the
Mediterranean is but little landlocked
sea. The Mediterranean of the 'Iliad''
was only the Aegean, yet for Homer ii
had terrors which the Atlantic has moi
for us.-Sir Spencer Walpoe in Con.

Deplorable Levity.

things" said the college girl. but this
last missionary was too much for us.
He preached or the glories of the mis-
sionary calling for women. He told US
we ought all of us to go and help the

"But then he worked up to a glow

college women, how much better than
mere learning and mere books it is to
go forth into the world and become

THAT was too much. OF course we

The Case of Peter Ca2ger.

A certain rich man, named Peter Cagger,
made bargain with Bishop T. M. A. Burke,
of the Catholic Diocese of Albany, N. Y,
which reminds one Of the good old times in
Europe when a conscience ricked sinner
could exchange sow and pigs for papal in
diligence which washed his sins away.
The trade between Peter Cagger and the
Catholic Bishop was that Cagger should fork
over the sum of $1,000, in consideration of
which the Catholic Church would offer up to
heaven one prayer every day, until Gabriel
toots his horn for the repose of Peter Cagger's
soul.
What parlous knave Peter must have felt
himself to be! Doubtless he had raked his
fortune together by methods not better than
those which cause the Rockefellers and Arch
holds to swear they don't remember"
But Peter remembered. He knew that there
must be hell somewhere for such sinners as
himself and he did not want to go to it. Be-
ing fool as we'll as a sinner, he pinned his
faith in the absurd claim of the Catholics that
their priests have been given from on high the
power ITO bind and loose" They can grant
an indulgence which wipes sins off the Slate,
and they can pray a condemned soul out Of

What was the use of so much mountan-in-

of "reform?'
We are astonished that these eminent doc

sage recommendations some advice about how
to stay young and healthy,-as per John D.

literally paid for.
This was we'll known to Peter Cagger, and
he consented to pay the price demanded by his
reverence, Bishop Burke
This man of God thought that 5000 was
none too much for prayer to be offered every
day as long as the world should last, for the
repose Of the soul of SO rich and so parlous a
knave as Peter Cagger.
So the bargain went into effect and Peter
willed that amount to Mother Church. There
contest over the bequest, but the Court
of Appeals held that it was valid.
So Peter won't go to hell. By turning loose
5000, he saved the remainder of the loot and
got the laugh on old Nick

notes to be used as money, on the bonds own

the farmer by the Government was to precede
the issuance of the warehouse certificate.
The plan further provided that the holder of
the certificate of deposit might redeem the
property deposited at any time within twelve
months. IF not redeemed, the products were
to be sold by the Government to satisfy the
loan.

After the Ball.

We know it's mean in us to fish up Bryan
tie newspaper of October, 1908, and quote
what the editor said about the certainties of
Bryan's victory, but '"The Hornet" of Bixby,
N. c., was so cocksure and so SASSY" that we
can't resist the temptation.
Said The Hornet, October 18th,
"When the great Democratic upheaval in
November falls on Taft, it's going to make
mighty greasy spot on the floor of defeat"
None but a Bryanite editor could imagine
an upheaval falling on anybody. He meant
landslide, you know. Or avalanche.
Said The Hornet,
Lets us all stand and sing, Praise God from
whom all blessings fow,' for this Republican
gang is being busted here below
Suppose we compromise by sitting while we
sing.
Again, The Hornet
Remember the Maine election"
They did.
Again, The Hornet,
IF indications are evidence, the success of
Bryan and Kern at the polls is assured. They
are the standard bearers of the grandest organ
ization &C."
Indications are evidence, but you must not
classify campaign bluff as an indication
"The Republican party has long ago gone to
the bad, and it's ticket is going the way Of all
the earth"
It's ticket however, was able to avoid the
Salt River route.
Here are some more Hornet paragraphs:
"The Republican gag gang which boasts of
having had control of National affairs for near
ly forty years are now on their last legs and
they are tottering like dying calf in fence
corner.
Republicans are very much worried at this
time about the tendency at election prospects,
and they whistle wear false smile and talk
CUFF in vain effort to hide their worriment of
mind.
"When the election is over, and Bryan and
Kern safely successful, all Republicans will
look like they were sent for and could not go;
their lips will look like two bananas glued to-
gether and their general appearance will look
collapsed and meaner than ever"
We have not seen a recent issue Of The
Hornet, but we have no doubt that it's able
