Drifting.

II Is unquestionably true that, not
withstanding' the tremendous energy
which charaeteriZes so large a pro-
portion of our populotion and makes
of II a force to be reckoned with,
there are yet many persons who are
passing their lives in aimless drifting.
The sensation for a time, at least,
may possibly be one of Measure. how
ever profitless, but II is a pleasure
that is all too dangerous to be in
dulged in indiscretly. To be sure,
there is something alluring, almost
appealing. in the mere thought OF
setting our craft adrift, with sails
furled and engines silenced, depend
ing merely upon some stray breeze
or chance current to bear us onward
The very idea of freedom from
responsibility seems attractive to
a degree, and yet II is the accept
ance of that responsibility which
first points our way through
treacherous seas TO haven un-
der the hill.'' Those who are con-
tent to drift alone from day to
day. blown about by the yagaries
OF fitful winds. seldom II ever accom-
plish anything worth while, measur-
ed by the standards OF men. Into
their lives comes mo hint of the
happiness of dreams realized; they
prefer to dream those dreams with
out trying to make them, come to
pass. and imagine themselves happy
building castles In the air.-C Charles

Famous Elm Cut Down.

Philadelphia. An interested
crowd watched the destruction of
one of Philadelphia's old landmarks
on Twelfth Street, above Chestnut,
the gigantic elm tree which has for
years shaded the yard of the Friends
Meeting House, and which has a ped
igree second to none in Philadelphia.
1t is said on good authority that the
old Elm was branch of the famous
Penn Treaty elm, in Kensington. un-
der which William Penn made his
treaty with the Indians. Two other
large trees which have grown from
the Penn Treaty elm are at the Penn
sylvania Hospital and Swarthmore
College. The old tree on Twelfth
Street was planted in 1912, when
the surrounding neighborhood bore
a truly rural aspect. 1t was for
many years remarkable for its mag
nificient foliage but since the cree
tion Of the adjacent high buildings
it ceased to thrive, and recently
showed marks of decay. a short
time ago a heavy branch fell to
the street, making a large hole in
the sidewalk, and it was deemed nee
essary for the safety of pedestrians
to remove entirely the old landmark.
