The "country churchyard.n

Those who recall Gray's 'Elegy in
Country Churchyard" will remember
that the peaceful spot where "the
rude forefathers of the hamlet sleep"
is identified with st. Giles, Stoke
Poges, Buckinghamshire. In the pro-
sale pages of a recent issue of the
Gazette there appears an order in
council providing that ordinary inter
ments are henceforth forbidden in the
churchyard.

"Why not art or literature?"
"Art spells canvas and paint and
literature wastes reams of paper.
Singing merely produces temporary
disturbance of the atmosphere.

MAKE UP YOUR MIND.

If you'll make up your mind to be
Contented with your lot
And with the optimists agree
That troubles soon forgot,
You'll be surprised to find. I guess,
Despite misfortune's darts,
What constant springs of happiness
Lie hid in human hearts;
What sunny CLEANS and golden dreams
The passing years unfold,
How soft and warm the lovelight beams
When you are growing old.

Walter Eckersalls wonderful feat of
Kicking five goals from the field in
the game that closed his career as a
college football player was duplicated
-26 years ago by w. R. Stafford, Will

game at Williamstown between Will
liams and Trinity, which Williams
won, 81 to 0, Stafford made five goals
from the field, all from drop kicks.
Some of these were made under adj

DIR. Browns Lecture

DR.. Harvey Dee Brown spoke to a
crowded house at the Methodist
church last Thursday evening. Ev-
cry seat was occupied and many
were turned away for want of room.
DR.. Brown told in clear, forceful
way of the cause and the means of
spread of consumption, and in
words that were understood by
every one. There was no note of
complaint against present conditions
but a clear recognition of causes
and an earnest appeal for an intell1-
gent effort for the betterment of
these conditions. In his account of
what is already being done in GER
tain schools and sanitoria for the
prevention and cure of this disease
there was a note of hopefulness, and
there were many suggestions as to
what might be done along the same
line in our own homes. The lecture
was we'll illustrated by lantern slides
which put its truths into forms more
easily remembered.
DR.. Brown highly commended our
School Board for the sanitary drink
ing fountains recently installed in
the public school. His suggestion
that the sale of milk from cows
which have been tested for Tuber-
culosis be prohibited, should receive
the attention of our City Council as
the lives of many children are sacri-
feed every year by the use of milk
from tuberculous COWS.

Justice Harlan.

The proposition to name Justice Har-
Ian to be the Chief Justice of the United
States Supreme Court during the remain
ing years of his service on that bench,
which he has SO long ornamented and
strengthened, commends itself to the
country despite the fact that it is con-
trary to tradition to fill the chief place
from within the court itself. The post
OF Chief Justice is in large measure hon.
orary. Each individual member of the
court has an equal share in its powers
and its responsibilities. The vote of the
newest appointee is as potent in the de-
termination of pending issues as that of
the oldest member or of the titular head
of the court AT the same time a certain
influence emanates from that position
which requires that in filing 1t the Presi-
dent should exercise the soundest judg-
ment to secure man of eminent breadth
of view and distinctly judicial tempera-
ment. In the course of his years Of serv-

Bryan, Smith, and Regularity.

Mr.. Bryan can afford the pleasant
things he is saying about Hoke Smith
and the presidency. He understan ds
that Mr.. Smith is not a presidential
quantity, and could not be pitchforked
into the democratic nomination in 1912.
The Georgia democrats at their state
convention in associating his name
| with the national Leadership merely
paid Mr.. Smith a personal compliment.
And it was SO received both by him
and by the public at large.
The peerless leader uses the topic as
a means of dressing down again both
| the corporation democrats and the gold
democrats. He likes to do that. and
always does it we'll
He points out that there is no re-
Spouse from either corporation sources
or gold sources to the Smith boom, and
explains why. The corporations do not
like Mr.. Smith because he would end
their connections with legislative
bodies He would put them definitely
and completely out of politics. with
their retinue of lobbyists trailing legis-
lators. and their great liberality in fill
ing political war chests.
AS for the gold democrats. they re-
member that, although gold man
himself. Mr.. Smith left the Cleveland
cabinet in 1896 to vote for Mr.. Bryan,
and voted for him also in. 1000 and zoos.
Associating himself thus with silver
for regularity's sake, Mr.. Smith. in the
eyes of the gold men, committed the
objectionable sin.
Now Mr.. Bryan remembers Mr. Smiths
regularity. and forgives his gold lean
ings. With him regularity covers q
multitude of differences, He is always
regular himself Although oyerruled
at st. Louis in 1904 both as to candi-
date and platform, Mr.. Bryan stumped
the country for the ticket, and al
though overruled at the recent Ne
braska state convention he is in line
for the nominees He practices there
fore what he breaches.
And in laudipg Mr.. Smith for his
course in 1896, Mr.. Bryan, inferentially,
condemns Gov. Harmon! The two men
sat at the cabinet table together. Both
were for gold. The crisis was trying.
Men were taking sides, and for some it
| was difficult thing to do. Mr.. Smith
went with his party. Gov. Harmon
deserted. Whether he supported Nc
KinIey and Hobart. or Palmer and
Buckner. or took to the woods, does
not so much matter. He did not sup
port Mr.. Bryan, and all that he called
for politically in Ohio was thrown
against the democratic ticket. Like all
politicians. Mr.. Bryan keeps books, and
has a professional accountants skill in
turning back to old ledgers.

Gambling in New York.

out plain clothes men from the pre-.
