may not be exactly pretty, but IT. mas
a strong sound. With a few repeu-
lions it viii fix the designed meaning
in the mind.
There is a good deal of what might
be called "oppidism in all our west
ern settlements. AS a rule, the local
patrotism in the west is more acute
than it is in the east We all love
our country as whole, but naturally
our particular affection is centered
upon the state, county, township, city
or village in which we reside and
where our business interests are 10
Gated.
The word patriotism" conveys the
meaning of something large. A word
| that would convey a meaning just as
| intense. but more limited in it's appll-
cation would be useful.

THE PASSING YEARS.

In looking over the published records
of a family of some historic import
ance. which dates back to pre-revolu-
tionary times, a gentleman found that
the year of the date of his birth, as
well as the birth dates of all his broth
ers and sisters had been erased by an
elder sister whose sensitiveness upon
that point had long been a subject of
family jest.
Ones age is something for which one
is not responsible, and it is the last
thing that one should be ashamed OF.
In the lives of the best there is enough
for regret, for chagrin and mOrtifica-
ton; but shame should be felt only for
mistakes and offenses which could
have been avoided. Nature is a stern
lteralist The procession of the sea-
sons cannot be checked. 1t is futile to
turn back the hands of the clock.
We may look with charity upon
person in search of employment in
this day when to have passed the half
century mark seems to be an insuper-
able bar to entrance into any useful
occupation, for attempting to put up a
more youthful front; but concealment
of ones age from motives of mere
vanity is intolerable to any just sense
of propriety If a lady can be beautiful
and charming in spite of her years, that
is to her honor. If a man can defy
Time to abate his vigOr, it is vastly to
his credit The fact speaks of a tenn
perate and virtuous and wellspent life.
Macbeth, when his way Of life had
fallen into the sere and yellow leaf, re-
flected despairingly that he must not
look to have that which should ac-
company old age, "as honor, love,
obedience, troops of friends" For such
miscreants old age cannot fail to be a
horror; but for one who can face the
end of his earthly pilgrimage as one
who is about to lie down to pleasant
dreams, the years are luminous ana
golden.
Each added one is a crown of glory
upon the silver brow Experience, wis
dom, spiritual understanding, Turk be-
meath the lines of care and the bruises
of conflict. Such an old age is at once
a joy and beneficence.

ICE RACING MEET
IN CANADA CITY

OTTAWA, Ont, Jan. 29.-Men who
are interested in ice trotting and pac-
ing meets are assembled today in large
numbers and it is probable that the
annual tournament on the Ottawa
river under the auspices of the Cen
tray Canada Ice Racing association,
to be held during the next seven days,
will be a great success Horses from
all over Canada and the northeastern
part of the United States are entered.
The amount of money to be distributed
to purse winners is the largest ever
offered by the association.

CIVIC PATRIOTISM.

correspondent of a metropolitan
paper suggests a new word to express
the same sentiment for ones home
town that patriotism" expresses for
ones country. Civic pride. loyalty to
local interests, and similar express
ions are cumbersome and inadequate
What is needed is a single word that
will carry the idea.
In our western parlance the word
booster has come to mean local
patriot who is intent on pushing
things. This will do for the man. but it
doesn't describe the thing A word
is needed to express at once the af-
lection. interest, pride enthusiasm
and devotion which is centered in
ones home town.
Urbanism might do for large cities
but it would be more convenient to
have a word that would apply to
large and small towns alike. to coun-
try villages and crossroads settle
ments. The most expressive word
thus far suggested is "oppidism," from
the Latin "oppidum," a town.
Oppidum doesn't necessarily mean &
city, but a civic entity of any size
Perhaps the objection may be mad,
that the word is not euphonious.

FIGHT 20 ROUNDS TO DRAW
Cyclone Thompson and Tommy Nc
Carthy Have Fierce Battle.


SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 2S.-Cy-
clone Johnny Thompson of Illinois and
Tommy Mccarthy of San Francisco,
fought 20 furious rounds to a draw
tonight. The fight was one of the
fastest lightweight battles fought on
the coast in years. Each man scored
a Touchdown.
Mccarthy landed 10 times to
Thompsons once, but the latter was
the aggressor throughout which
prompted Referee Eddie Hanlon to
call the bout a draw.
Mccarthy floored his man in the
first round and Thompson dropped the
Californian in the fifth.
Thompson forced a terrific pace
from start to finish, Mccarthy con-
tenting himself with backing away,
all the while landing clean punches to
the Cyclones head and body. The
Californian nearly won the battle in
the first round when he shot out his
left with terrific force and caught the
Illinois fighter on the jaw. Thomp
son dropped like a log, the gong ap-
parently saving him from defeat.
1t was a case of continuous agrees
siveness against continuous clean
punches and Referee Hanlon decided
that a draw was the only logical YER
dict to be given.

TO PADDLE THEIR CANOE.

The state governors do not return
from their conference in Washington
in the same state of joyous exaltation
as from the former conference. Sew
eral causes contributed to their dig
nified and moderate discomfort with
their experience.
The first conference was received
with open arms by President Roose
Welt, made at home in the White
House and seated above the salt on
all social occasions. This conference
sat in the hired room of a hotel and
received little more notice from the
president than a national convention
of woman's clubs or the American
Institute of Architects He accept
ed an invitation to make an address
and acknowledged it with an invita-
tion to dinner.
But at the White House as we'll as
other places to which they were in
vited. the governors found themselves
preceded socially by members of the
cabinet and senators. The more So
Der minded of the governors do not
complain of the president of any other
person, but most of them seem to
agree that they should not again place
themselves in a situation where the
dignity of their states seems to suf-
fer

SECOND HAND
STORE IS THE
POLICE PLAN

Chief of Poice Mike Davis is seri-
ousv considering the advisabiity or
taking out a license and opening
secondhand store to be operated in
conjunction with the work of his de-
partment.
He hasn't definitely decided whether
such an enterprise would prove sue
cess. because of the too numerous COM
petitors located in the city already, but
he is certain that something in that
line will have to be inaugurated in or
der to keep the corridors of the city
bastile free from junk which has &C
cumulated during the past two years.
AS far as known, there is no city ord1-
nance on the books providing for the
disposition of bicycles, revolvers or
other articles picked up by the patrol
men and listed in the "lost and found
column. Diligent search has been
made through the statutes, but up to
press time this afternoon the startling
discovery had not been mace.
| 1t is conservatively estimated that
between 35 and As old bicycles (and
some new ones) are now stored in the
detention room at police headquarters
Also there are numerous attachments
and parts of bicycles conspicuously dis
played, though not for sale purposes
In fact, the chief will not sell any OF
the machines. He turned down an of.
fer this morning, giving as an excuse
the probability of the owner showing
up Immediately following the consuma-
ton of the transaction. Something
must be done, or the patrolman viii
find it necessary to climb over an ar
ray of wheels and chains every time
they wish to escort an offender into
the Jail.

PARIS, Jan. 2S.-An agOnlZlng cry
goes up from the people of Paris to-
night, will the end never Gomez"
Communication with England, Hol-
land, Denmark and Austria and many
cities and towns in France is COM
pletely cut off. The telephone has
been practically abandoned in Paris.
New districts are being flooded con-
stantly and the people are evacuating
blocks OF buildings. Several hospitals
where sick refugees were taken are
in dreadful plight, the water hav-
ing quenched fires in the furnaces.
-Four hundred patients were hur-
riedly removed in ambulances from
the Hospital de la Salpetriere to the
Hospital Boucicault. Their rescue was
dramatic and timely. The hospital
was isolated and a new rush of water
threatened to level it, The tireless
project of police, M. Lepine, summon
ed ambulances and boats and addi-
tional police and soldiers.
While some soldiers were laying
pontoons, others took patients out
Two hundred were saved in boats,
| while another 200 were carried across
the pontoons on the backs of soldiers.
Thousands of Americans in Paris,
especially artists and students in the
| Latin quarter, are being bOmbarded
| from anxious relatives. The AsSoci-
| ated Press has been requested to an
nOunce that all Americans are safe.
A few have been obliged to leave their
| lodgings in the lower part of the city,
but the Latin quarter is high and
safe
The French government is deeply
touched by expressions of sympathy
that have been received from abroad.
| King Victor Emanuel and the Italian
! cabinet have sent messages of con-
dOlence and Pope Plus has transmit
ted $4,000. Emperor Nicholas and the
king Of Belgium have sent $4,000 each.
Public subscriptions have been
opened in Belgium.
Expressions of sympathy are COM
ing in from England, Germany and
| Austria.
Succoring Homeless.
Charitable organizations are coop
Grating with the authorities in throw
ing open their buildings and in sue
coring refugees. Several converts and
a number of public buildings have
been equipped with military cots and
bedding and transformed into hos
pitfalls. The Red Cross is performing
splendid service in distributing food
and clothing.
! Nevertheless, numerous instances
are cited of women and children who
had refused to leave their homes in
the submerged districts, shrieking
from their windows for bread.
The number of refugees arriving is
enormous, -Charenton alone sending in
$4,000 who had got there from Calais
and other afflicted points.
Many thrilling rescues are record
ed. The family Of NJ Barthou, former
minister Of public works, whose home
