THE COLD WORLD.

A cold world bat a gold world. and the
best old world we've got
So, laugh and be conteuted. and be happy
with your lot.
A cold world, but bold world. when the
heart is beating right.
When the hands have done their duty.
And the eyes find hidden beauty
In the sweet and simple valleys and the
hills that lead TO light
\ cold world. but gold world, and the
best old world we know.
SO, deck the lips with laughter and forget
about your woe,
A cold world. but a whole world Of bless
ings In disguise.

To the golden shores OF dreaming.
The violets I'm the meadows and the sun
shine in the skies

The Ananiases of washington.s nar

From letter written By George Washington in 1926.
Nor did l believe until lately that it
was within the bounds Of probability.
hardly within those Of possibility. that
every act of my administration would be
tortured and the grOssest and most insid-
iOus misrepresentation CT them be made
by giving one side only OF a subject. and
that, too, in such exaggerated and indie
cent terms as could scarcely be applied 10
a Nero. to a notorious defaulter, or even
to a common p!Ckpocket.

There Is no use talking any more about
William Howard Taft leaving the Cabi-
net Why should he leave il? lie is not
going 10 leave il. anyhow.
A little while ago We were disposed to
question the propriety OF his retaining his
important portfolio while so actively en-
gagged in pursuing the nomination for
President. but that was Il little while
ago. We know him better now \ fuller
appraiscment of him AT short and long
range-mostly long-has taught us the
infinite capacity of the man. He may
need young Hitchcocks help but We
doubt it,
Sounding a slogan at Duluth or Kala-
mazoo: picking off a stray delegate or
two between trains at Kamchatka;
keeping in touch by wire with Cuba. the
Philippines, and Guam. dropping into
Washington ever and anon TO sign accu-
mulating documents and keep track Of
outgoing mails; taking time now and then
TO appear before the Military committees
! of Congress and direct them aright-then
away he is whisked we know not whittier
until the news dispatches tell us of his
whereabouts next morning.
Thinking of him, as we often do. this
ubiquitous man of affairs. this busy bee
chasing Cabinet officer. reminds as of our
old friend. Fmnegan-"Om again. on
again. Finnegan'-whom a drOI humorist
preserved so delightfully."- in rhyme.
The more we catch a glimpse Of him
Taft, we mean-the more he grows upon
US. And when We but family comprehend

for doing things and doing them we'll
