In the Frederick Days.

An original poem rected by the Bentz-
town Bard at the Boosters Banquet:
There are lots of Others in town like me
That sometimes dream of the used-to-be;
And some, | reckon, see all day long
The old town under the hills of song,
With its city spring and its birds that
flock
In the old Wrenn steeple around the clock
that strikes sometimes thirteen for ten
And then goes striking all over again:
Lots of others in town like me,
That dream sometimes in a mystic
maze,
Till they catch themselves with Jerk
and say,
''Oh, that was back in the Frederick
days!"
There are some, for instance, | bet to-
night,
Who think that the bass and the suckers
AS they used to do where the sycamore
tree
Leans low DER the loved Monocacy
AS it winds along its muddy way
Through the meadow miles of yesterday,
And the old trains over the B. & o.
Lots of others, no doubt that hear,
The pleasant music the river plays
AS it did in the boyhood sweet and
clear
That are back for us in the Frederick
days!
I'm not alone in the dream, Pm sure,
Of the lovely town with its air so pnre,
And always at morning before our ewes
The hills Of Catoctin along the skies,
And the little creek from the mill clear
down,
To Leary's meadow, beyond the town
And Hallerstown Hill, and the Swamp.
ers' home
With old Johnny Swamper upon the
dome;
All many like me will never forget
These things that are lost in the haze,
Though we have to pause when we tell
of them
And cry they were back in the Fred
erick days.
Bless my soul! what dream 1t brings,
This thought in song of the Frederick
things,
That old iron dog at the Williams door,
And: the stepping stones that you strad
died DER
When the cutters ran with the flooding
rain,
And Beckley's store with its sweets again,
And old Miss Suman, whose ginger
bread
Lives on in fame though she's long since
dead:
Over and over from time to time,
To me in the old sweet rays
OF memory they walk in whrl of
rhyme
These things that were back in the
Frederick days.
| bet yon think of them too. all YOU
That have walked the meadows of child.
hood dew
Beneath the shadow that lies there sweet
O'er every beautiful Frederick street
The shadow the hills of Catoctin fling
In winter and summer or fall and spring.
And you go back often to fish with me
For bass in the loved old Monocacy
You go back often as do, aye,
To sit meath the sycamore tree that

Till you catch yourself with jerk and
cry:
ooh, that was back in the Frederick

STREET IMPRESSION.

The street impresses us with the fact
that life is full Of pretentions and sham.
What subterfuge what double dealing,
what two-facednessl Do all the people
who wish you good-morning really hope
you happy day? Do all the people who
shake hands love each other Are all
those anxious about your health who in
quire concerning it? Do all want to see
you who ask to call? Does'all the world
know half as much as it pretends to know?
Is there not many a wretched stock of
goods with a brilliant show window?
Passing up and down these streets to
your business and your work, are YOU not
impressed with the fact that much of
society is hollow and that there are sub
terfuges and pretentions? Oh! how many
there are who swagger and strut, and
how few people who are ma ural and
walk. While fops shipper, and fools
chuckle, and simpletons giggle, how few
people are natural and laugh The cour-
tesan and the libertine go down the street
in beautiful apparel, while with the heart
there are volcanoes OF passion consum-
ing their life away

WASHINGTON.
Legislative and Cen
eral Topics from

(From Our Regular Correspondent.)
Washington, March II. 1911.

There is much interest In diplomatic
and political circles in Washington con.
corning a possible peace treaty between
the United States and Great Britain,
treaty which will have the potential effect
OF an alliance, although ii will not be
known bv that name. President Taft in
a recent speech on the subject of peace,
said that he thought all questions, even
including questions of honor, might be
left to an International arbitration court,
and Earl Gray, minister of foreign affairs
for Great Britain. in recent speech re-
ferred to President Tafi S speech and
spoke earnestly in favor of peace treaty
Between the two great English-Speaking
nations. hose who have kept abreast
with current history will remember that
there have been two recent efforts to
secure a ratification of peace treaties be-
tween Great Britain and this country. but
inasmuch as the final ratification must
depend upon the Senate, these treaties
struck snags in that body. Some of those
snags were removed on the 4th of March
last and ii is believed now that the treaty
will meet the approval of the Senate and
that Secretary Knox and Ambassador
Bryce are al work in preparation of an
agreement to be submitted TO Congress,
though perhaps not earlier than the
regular session which will assemble next
December. There will doubtless be
more or less opposition in the Senate to
friendly proposals between this and the
mother country, but, as remarked, some
of the snags have been. removed Sena-
tor Root, of New York, who is chairman
of the Carnegie Peace Foundation for
which ten millions Of dollars were recently
donated by Mr.. Carnegie, will doubtless
do everything in his power in the Senate
to promote this peace entente. He was
Secretary of State during the second
Roosevelt administration and he is
closely in touch with pacific and philan-
thropic endeavor. Mr.. Carnegie has said
that if two great nations like this country
and England could reach an agreement
to submit all questions, even those involv-
ing honor, to an arbitration court, it would
not be long before the other powerful
nations would. fall into line.
AS might be expected, the first kick
against efforts al peace, comes from the
.irrepressble Irish section. John Dillon,
an Irish member in Parliament, says the
peace proposals make no provision tor
small nalionalties struggling against in
Justice or seeking freedom, and he in
sisted that peace proposals were but
combinations Of mighty empires for the
purpose Of coercing others who would
not submit 10 arbitration. The Irish
member is unhappy at anything that pro
poses 10 stop a. row, big or little. The

BEST WAY.

The speediest and easiest way to bene-
fit mankind would be for every person to
reform their own life. regardless of what
others are doing. Such a policy would
bring about change for the better in
both public and private affairs, and so
after the relationship of mankind that
every one would strictly mind his own
business. Meddlesome persons who are
continually prying into other peoples
affairs and carrying tales between friends
and acquaintance create great deal of
mischief are best contented when they
can spread scandal 1t seems more
natural for them to speak i'll of a person
than to utter words of praise, and their
habit of gossiping becomes so fixed that
they can talk scandal almost unconscious
ly. Il is just as easy to say good words
for friends and acquaintance, even if not
wholly deserved. as it is to speak i'll of
them, and the effect on the community is
always beneficial in a general way
Scandal gathers strength as it travels bv
word or mouth and can never be recalled
when once in circulation. Try speaking
well of everyone and see what change
ii will make in your own happiness as
well as in the welfare of others.

ApPkARANcE AT HOME

Don't say that it doesn't matter how
you look around the house, for 1t does
matter good deal. 1t matters in its
establishment, of which the feminine head
is the creditable or questionable repre-
sentative; it matters in its example to the
children and to the help, it matters to
the husband and father who usually, if
he is half man, feels a sense of pride in
the appearance of his family.
1t is poor encouragement TO him to find
confusion and carelessness in dress and
waste and destruction running riot about
the dwelling. 1t is one of the important
duties of every woman to keep herself
and her hvuse in condition as present

stances

TEACH THE BOYS.

A well known man, the monument of
whose exceptional ability as financier
IN the great dry goods establishment of
which he is the head, contended that
discussion of the subject from his stand
point would serve no good end, since
every merchant was an. individual, and
for every individual there would have to
be a different prescription, adapted TO
personal temperament, mental capacity.
What would be good for one might be
poison for another.
He suggested that the way to make
good business men, who would know
how To acquire a surplus to dispose Of
whether or not to invest in stocks, how
much money To keep on hand and now
TO guard against stringency in the money
market. was 10 give more attention to
the morals Of the boys who were starting
in business. He wished 1t could be
shown TO them how they were wasting
their opportunities, how>ihey were stulti-
flying their manly spirit, how they are
wrecking their chances for future pros

chance, pool playing. gambling, and other
vicious practices that rob them of their
