FOUND TIME FOR LITERATURE
English Literary Man Astonished to
Find Accurate Scholarship
Among Americana.

An English literary man, who visit
ed this country some years ago to lee
tare. frankly declared that he came not
expecting to find accurate scholar
ship among Americans, especially on
purely literary subjects, adding affa-
bly,:
You have been too busy and useful
a nation in practical matters to give
much time to the arts and graces of
learning.
During the dinner at which he made
this remark he criticised Shakespeare,
sharply declaring that his metaphors
often were absurd, as, for example" ,"
he said, Sleep that knits up the raw
eled sleave of care. How ridiculous
to figure sleep as knitting up torn
sleeve of a coat"
A young American sitting near him
said modestly: Il think the word is
not sleeve, but slave, the thin fluff of
damaged web 1t is technical ex-
preston among weayers."
In the United States probably"
retorted the critic irritably. Shake
speare never could have heard it. He
meant sleeve"
y believe" persisted the American
geaX. 'the word is printed sleave in
ali he old editions. 1t is not an
American word, bat has been used for
centuries by weayers in Scotland and
the north of England"
The visitor frowned and then with
English frankness said, laughing:
Thank you. | was mistaken. Per-
haps / am mistaken about other
things and will be corrected before /

To Drive Dull Care AWAY

What, dull, when you do not know
what gives its loveliness of form to
the lily. its depth of color to the
violet. its fragrance to the rose; when
you dc not know in what consists the
venom Of the adder, any more than
you can initiate the glad movements
of the dove. What. dull, when earth
air and water are all alike mysteries
to you, and when as you stretch out
your hand you do not touch anything
the properties of which you have
mastered; while all the time nature is
inviting you to talk earnestly with
her, to subdue her and to be blessed
by her, Go away, man; learn some
thing, do something, understand some
thing, and let me hear no more Of
your cullness!-Sir Arthur Helps.

When she arrived she found beauti

much daintiness and prettiness and
exceedingly modest and lovely, so
much so that she was half afraid to
Breathe in their presence, afraid she
night say or do something to shock
them, having lived for some years in
Bohemian set. She drank the tea
they gave her and talked on different
topics which she thought would inter
est young girls. Finally one of the
girls, pointing to a cigarette stub in
an ash tray on the window sill, said
apologetically:
i suppose that shocks you awfully,
doesn't it? 1t belongs to Stella. She
will smoke now and then"
The woman took heart. 1T doesn't
shock me SO very much" said she.

Stella FASTENED to find the box Of
cigarettes.
That was why left home," she
said. MY father told me l had either
to leave home or quit smoking"
The other girl, in the beautiful and

A friend calls attention to the fact
that Washington, although comman.

and again in 1898 during the French
war, which did not really happen, did
not bear the title of full general. On
July 2, 1898, President Adams nornin-

PITY A POOR PRESIDENT.

1t is a pitiful and humiliating spec
tacle that the president of the United
States presents when, in effect, he
goes down on his knees before his
predecessor in Office, with apologies
and explanations. Sycamore Hill
not come to Beverly so Beverly goes
to Sycamore Hill.
And what has Mr.. Taft gained by
prostrating himself before Colonel
Roosevelt and implicitly begging for
his distinguished consideration. ii
does not yet appear that the newt
able breach in the Republican ranks
has heen closed up thereby. Roose-
welt is decidedly cool, nctwithstand-
ing the conciliatory advances of the
man he made president. There is
no indication of return of the
VIII and Theodore days OF
yore. On the contrary, in spite OF
the President S plea for peace, Roose-
welt has served notice that it will be
a fight to the finish between him and
the old guard" who sought to elm
mate him from the political situation
in New York. He admits that, as
a result of the fight, party success,
may be endangered, but the % /.
guard having seen fit to force the
issue, the consequences must be on
their heads.
/ President Taft is probably Sorroy
now that he permitted himself to be
placed in position where seemingly
he endorsed the movement to humiI-
late the man who forced the Repub-
lican party to accept him as presi-
dent. But his regrets are not going
to mend matters. His unexcelled
capacity for laundering and incurable
habit of permitting the worst eli
ments of his party to run the ad,
ministration" must reap their reward.
If the Republican party is not fore
ed into political bankruptcy it will
be through no fault of William How
ard Taft.

plored the incident as an afront to
decency and declared that the pub
lie official who fails to quell the mob
is as much of a criminal as the cor
rupt member of corporation, which
is the limit.
ofcourse the Rooseveltitis victims
who flung their, caps in the air and
liked to have split their threats with
cheers of approval at this center shot
are all deaf, dumb and blind to the
fact, evident to perfectly sane peo-
pie, that the Harmon whom tine
Great Man thus derided in the very
city of his labors, is the same Har-
mon who, as government counsel,
proposed to prosecute a member of
Rooseyelt's cabinet for an admitted
case of rebating, and was not per-
mitted to do SO by the Great Man,
because the cabinet member, Paul
Morton, was friend of mine
Roosevelti.is is disease that rem
ders the victim devoid of independ-
ent reasoning faculties. Where be-
fore the attack the victim may have
been a perfectly normal, sane person,
capable of thinking things out for
himself, after the insidious germs
have become thoroughly assimilated
in the system, a transformation is
wrought. Thenceforth the victim is
hopeless and can only bawl Roose-
yelt' and throw his cap in the air
whenever the Great Man opens his
mouth or puts his pen to paper.

REYOLTS ARE CONTAGIOUS.

1t is not at all certain that Roose-
welt, notwithstanding the bad dump
administered to him by the Republic
can state committee of New York,
will not serve as the temporary chair
man of the coming Republican con-
vention Of that state.
At the. national Republican con-
yention in Chicago, which nominated
Blaine for President, in 1854, the
national committee met and agreed
upon Powell Clayton, of Arkansas,
for temporary chairman. The sup
porters of Blade carried everything
before them in that convention, and
in the national committee Blaine was
equally strong. Clayton had come
to the convention as an anti-Blaine
delegate. But after reaching Chica-
20 and finding the sentiment for
Blaine vastly preponderant, he man
aged to turn his coat to good account,
by working the committee through
the intrigues of friends as unscrupu-
lOus as himself, who procured his flop
over to Blaine and his selection fer
temporary chairman, both at the
same tin and by single deal.
When, however, Clayton's name
was reported to the convention, the
announcement was received with a
storm ofresentful opposition. The con
vention promptly amended by sub

COLONEL RoosEvELr's views change
with the passing ofthe years. Four
teen years ago, during the 1896
presidential campaign, he wrote in
an article in the Review Of Reviews:
Furthermore, the Chicago Con-
Hention attacked the Supreme Court.
Again this represents species of at
ayism-that is, of recurrence to the
ways of thought of remote barbarian
ancestors. Savages do not like an in
dependent and upright judiciary.
They want the Judge to decide their
way, and ifhe does not, they want
to behead him. The Populists ex-
perience much the same emotions
when they realize that the Judiciary
stands between them and plumber. .
Now the colonel himself attacks
che supreme court and joins the saw
ages.

MASON AND DIxONs LINE.

The historic Mason and Dixon s
Line is name that was given to the
boundary between Maryland and
Pennsylvania about one hundred and
fifty years ago. 1t comedies with 80,
4S, and e6.3 north latitude. Ex-
cept for a distance of 90 miles, the
line was marked out By Charles Ma
son and Jeremiah Dixon, English en-
gineers. They surveyed it for dis
lance of e5S miles west from the
Delaware River. between November
10, 1868, and December &c, 1867.
Each FIVE mile stone bears the coat
of arms of Maryland cut on one side
and that of Pennsylvania on the
other. The intervening milestones
bear the letter ''P', cut on one side
and the letter NJ on the opposite.
During the progress of the violent
debate in congress in 1890, which
resulted in the historic measure
known as the Missouri Compromise,
on the question of excluding slavery
.
from Missouri John Randolph made
use of the phrase Mason and Dix
on's Line, " as the dividing line be-
tween slave and free states Mary
land at that time being slave state
and Pennsylvania free state. At
that time the crossing of the line
from the south meant freedom to the
fugitive slave. The reference thus
made to the Mason and Dixon S
Line by Randolph as dividing line
between slave and free states brought
the phrase into general use, and il
continued to designate the line be-
tween freedom and slavery till after
the civil war.-Exchange.

FOR PRESIDENT SUNNY JIM.

Sunny Jim" Sherman for presi-
dent in 1919! And why not: Is
he not the embodiment of Republic
can principles and policies: Is he
not typical standpatter:
Starting in the Ozark wilds of Mis-
souri,, the Sherman boom is supposed
to be coming east by slow freight.
1t has reached Guthrie, Okla, where
when Mr.. Sherman spoke the other
day, a large banner. emblazoned
Sunny Jim for President in 1919"
stared him in the face. If Sherman
blushingly declined the premature of
fer, the fact escaped the vigilance of
the press correspondents.
No man-not even Mr.. Cannon
has been more responsive to every
call of the special interests than
Sunny Jim 1t was in recogni-
ton of his fidelity to the special in
terests that he was named as running
mate for Taft two years ago.
It is quite within the realm of pro-
liability that Big Business will turn
to Sunny Jim IN 1919 as the cas-
lest escape from La Toilette, Cum
Minis or Roosevelt. OF the three
named, Bi" Business fears Roosevelt
least. They know by experience that
his bark is worse than his bite. They
realize that La Toilette and Cum
Minis, with the assistance Of the 9th
er insurgents and the almost solid
strength of the Democratic represent
tation in Congress, accomplished far
more for the people and against the
interests while Roosevelt was in
Africa than the lion hunter accom-
plished in the seven years of his ad-
ministration. But it IS not likely
that they will take chances even
with Roosevelt when man like
Sunny Jim" Sherman-always re-
liable, tractable and obedient-is at
hand. There may be much more
than a joke in the launching thus
early of the Sunny Jim" boom.

COMING TO TIME.

It's evident that Colonel Roose-
velt'S voice is in good working order
and that his egotism has suffered no
decline. In his speech at Cleveland
the following gems OF intention
were thrown at an amazed null
titude:
4" shall insist upon honesty
. : ; and shall insist upon or
der.
Whenever have power l will
keep order, on the one hand, and
will insist upon justice from the
rich man on one hand and from the
corporation on the other.
will make the corporations come
to time, and l will make the mob
come to time
Whether Colonel Roosevelt expects
to shatter third term precedents by
running again for presidency, or fg-
ures upon assuming dictatorial pow
ers, has not yet been divulsed. In
view of the promises, however, a
glance at past performances is inter-
estins.

That President Taft has failed in
his efforts to harmonic the discorG-
ant elements of the Republican party
BY his keynote letter and that
the chasm between regulars and in
surgents in still unbridged is indicat-
ed by the declaration of Senator
Cummins in speech at La Crosse,
Wis.,, that the Republican party has
failed to keep its platform pledges
The leaders in both the House and
Senate sneeringly, contemptuously
and deliberately repudiated the
pledges aud passed laws to please
their business friends and BETRAYED
the American people, was the
charge made by Senator Cummins.
This is harmony with vengeance.
