MERITED RECOGNITION.

Time is the great equalizer-as well
as tomb builder, and eventually
things work round right as the cen
turies roll along.
Colohx the city at the eastern end of
the Panama canal, honors Columbus.
1t is his name in Spanish 1t has also
been decided to honor Balboa by
changing the name of the city at the
western end of the canal. The Pa
cific city is to be called Balboa and
the Atlantic city Colon.
Balboa's memory should be honored
for it was he who first saw the Pa
cific ocean from the American CONT
nent. This was in 1913, and he first
of all white men explored the isthmus
The poet Keats attributed this first
/ feat to Cortez, but Cortez never saw
the isthmus. His work was chiefly
done in Mexico.
The four hundredth anniversary O.
Balboa's discovery will occur in 1913
and there are some who hope the ca
| nal will be completed by that date
and it will be if no delay occurs il
connection with the building of tn
dam and locks at Gatun. When th'
anniversary is celebrated Spain will
be duly honored, and it is proposed t,
erect a monument to Balboa at tn
point from which with eagle eyes b
stared at the Pacific" Those were
indeed, great days in Spain, but ma
tions rise and fall l,and Spain long ag,
1 passed the zenith of her power AM
fame. She no longer blazes paths TO
the nations anywhere.

sc'if in shaping and achieving char
acter-the kind of character that will
give him poise and honor among his
fellow men and stand him in favor
where only character can be carried
before the judgment seat of God. And
in that conflict with the souls war
ring factionsg nothing stands him save
belief in himself and the clear inner
voice which assures him that if he
poses nothing shall touch him to
thwart his noble intents. Each new
victory over some inner unwise and
unworthy suggestion makes him
stronger and better enables him to
discern the sometimes almost impal-
pable lines which separate truth from
untruth. Discrimination in the mat
ter of wisdom and unwisdom is sell
dom intuitive, and the Office of the
self-poised is in his words and deeds
to inhabit mems thoughts, giving as
best he can clue to the boundaries
of right and wrong.
For ages and ages men of high pur-
pOoCS nave W kcSp III COuCn
and follow the calm-eyed, self-poised,
disciplined few along the tops of the
centuries who have heard read the
great order of march-not in syllabled
lisp from nature, but to their souls
from natures God. Socrates, Anto-
minus, Epictetus, the Christ-those
mighty eXpositors of harmonious liv-
ing-names to conjure majestic self
containment: children of nature, even
as you and I, but children whose COM
placency came, not by embracing ev-
cry suggestion of nature, but as the
long result of comparing her every
suggestion with the souls loftiest
peaks.
Composure, poise, self, control, COM
placency, attention! How the soft
words-the strong words, stand for
the men themselves, like angels how
ering above the lifelong struggle,
pointing out the high and the right
paths.
Not the man or woman who makes
ideals a life business is greatest, but
he or she who in the strife and stress
of existence can do the brave share
of the worlds work, and looking
ahead can ever see through gathering
| mists and lowering trials some mighty
purpose overtopping all.

the accepted time for you to acquire
these attributes of character SO much

PROSPERITY PERIOD.

That the South has before it pc
riod of prosperity that is unlimited in
extent and immeasurable in variety
and volume is not question OF optl-
mistic speculation, but an assured and
substantial certainty; and not only
are the captains Of industrial enter
prise and commercial traffic that
make prosperity making ready on
large scale for what is ahead of us,
but the great newspapers Of the
whole country see and are heralding
this era that is at hand.
Among others, the Washington Post
That paper in a recent editorial ex-
presses the opinion that the home
seekers of Iowa and adjoining states
are making mistakes. 'The word in
Iowa." says the Post, lis Go to Can
ada, young man; and thousands
swarm into the Dominion and volun-
tarily become subjects of King Ed
ward. The cotton South, even that
region of it east of the Mississippi
river, is an Infinitely more inviting
field. The climate is all that can be
desired, and the diversity Of crops it
admits Of affords advantages to be
found nowhere else on the North
American continent-grain, cotton
the grasses, tobacco, sugar, rice.
truck patches, fruits such as peaches
melons, berries, figs. and in some sec
tions the citrus varieties. Later will
come livestock breeding, dairying, and
wool growing. Go South, young farm
er of the Middle West. Her soil and
her sky invite you. So do her peo-
ple."
ALI very true, and the people o.
North Carolina should flood Iowa will
copies of soil surveys, together with {
statement that great part of oul
State is uncultivated. Lands arr
cheaper here than they are in Cana
da, the differences of climate being
considered.
An Iowa farmer who plows deel
could grow corn in this State, ant
cotton also, and he would become in
dependent long before man in Cana
da could, while he would be living il
a climate that is enjoyable the yeal

: JOAN OF ARC
Presentation at harvard First
Time Tonight.
Miss Maude Adams As "Joan of Arc
VIII Be the Principal Character
i'm the Magnificent Scenes
of the Presentation.
of the Presentation.

Boston, Mass, June 22.-Crowds
of visitors from New York and other
cities have arrived here, to attend tse
grand spectacular performance of
Schiller's Joan of Arc" at the Har-
ward Stadium in Cambridge this even
ing. The performance, which will be
on a scale of unprecedented magni-
tude and promises to be the greatest
and most brilliant dramatic spectacle
ever seen in the United States, will
be given under the auspices of the
German department of Harvard Uni
versity, by special company headed
by Miss Maude Adams and under the
artistic management of Mr.. Charles
Frohman, of New York.
Schiller's "Joan of Are the Eng
lish version of which will form the
basis of the spectacular dramatic
production, has been performed hum
dreds of times in various theatres in
Europe and, occasionally, in the Unit
ed States, but even the largest thea
tres and companies were utterly mad
equate for the representation of the
heroic scenes and action of the dra-
ma, as contemplated by the poet-au-
thor. sss aasssSE ass ~
Tonight, for the first time in his
tory, the dramatic figure of the in
spired Maid of Orleans will appear in
a setting of adequate proportions. The
enormous arena of the Stadium will
be the scene upon which several thou
sand men, carefully trained and drill
| ed, will give realistic representation
of the battle on the defile near Or
| leans, in which the French were led
to victory over the English by the in
| spired Joan of Arc. 1t will be gor-
| geous spectacle, this battle, in which
| several thousand men, among then
two hundred knights and spearsmeI
| in full armor, garbed, accoutred
armed and otherwise equipped histor
ically true to the style and type O.
the early part of the fifteenth cen
tury, will enact a wonderfully realiS
tic battle scene, the like of which ha!
never been seen at any dramatic per
formance in this country or in Eu
: rope.
OF course, Miss Maude Adams, tn
Joan of Arc" of tonight's perform
ance, will be the principal characte
in the magnificent scenes of the pres
entation. Dressed in full armor an,
mounted on a snow-White charger o
Arab blood, she will gallop into tn
J fray, bearing the banner of the Vir
gin, directing the French forces an
leading them to glorious victory. Sh
will be supported by a competen
: company of players and about 1,30
, supernumeraries.
An idea may be formed of the mag
nificence of the production from tn
fact that the properties required in
c1ude 500 full suits of armor, trap
} pings for two hundred chargers, cos
) tunes, equipments and arms of vari
Gus kinds for thirteen hundred men
in addition to the scenery and thous
and and one accessories necessary t.
make the presentation as life-like an
historically tru as art and the mos
} lavish expenditure of money can max
it.

The "Macaroni.e

The "macaroni" were exquisites or tops who in England and France led the fashions from 17SO to 1885 and were distinguished by an immense knot of artificial hair worn on the top of their heads. X small cooked hat which perched ridiculously on their topknot, satin or brocade coats and small clothes fitting tightly to the body and silk stockings with ribbon garters composed the costume of these fash ionable gentlemen who invariably car .ried long walking stick with tassels attached and frequently bouquet tied to the handle and encouraged minc' ing and affected gait and manner There was during the war for inde' pendence a body of Maryland soldiers who on account of their showy un'- forms were called "macaroni'"
