ended the quarrel by saying haughtily:

ton to have Palisade come out first

achievement, and nothing incites
greater effort than to know that your

ing to get up a spirit in favor of

even If it is to be on borrowed

FAITHFULNESS

One of the many traits of human
ity always admired is faithfulness.
There is a certain consolation in the
faithful performance of duty that is
compelling in its influence upon our
lives. While it is true that some men
have mistaken idea of duty. and in
duce themselves to do things from
sense of conviction that this or that
must be done regardless OF conse-
quences, yet this very class cannot
justly be criticised. Faithiulness may
be over Jealous, but this generally is
to be reCkoned with on the basis OF a
lack of judgment. But take the faith
full life of a Christian devoted 10 the
cause of faith, and nothing could be
more impressive. Ones faith IN any
religion is to be commended The
worker, be he bod carrier, clerk or
professor, gets his need Of happiness
in the faithfulness of his labors.
No other single virtue or com5ina-
ton OF virtues can raise us to such
heights as faithfulness
Somehow the humble and patient
attitude of the slaves during the late
civil war has always appealed
among the instances of faithfulness
that might be placed upon the high
est pinnacle: With the husbands and
fathers of the whites and all boys
above sixteen forced into the army,
the Southern slave, knowing that his
freedom was in the balance by the
turn the tide of war might take, yet
he chung to "old mistiss and the chill
lun' with unfaltering loyalty and
faithfulness unrivalled in the annals
of all time. No wonder the move

Give Them a Place to Play.
By Dennis McCarty.

BY Dennis MCCarty.
Plenty of room for dives and dens
(Glltter and glare and SIM,
Plenty of room for prison pens,
Gather the criminals I'M.
Plenty of room for jails and courts
(Willing enough to pay),
But never place for the lads to race,
No, never place to play.
Plenty of room for shops and stores
Mamma must have the besD.
Plenty of room for the running sores
That rot in the city's breast!
Plenty OF room for the lures that lead
The hearts of our youth astray,
But never cent on playground is
spent,
No, never a place to play.
Plenty OF room for schools and halls,
Plenty OF room for art;
Plenty of room for teas and balls.
Platform, stage and mart.
Proud is the city-she finds a place
For many fad to-day
But she's more than blind if she fails
to find
A place for the boys to play.
Give them chance for innocent
sport,
Give them a chance for fun,
Better playground plot than court.
And Jail when the harm is done
Give them a chance-if you stint
them now,
Tomorrow you'll have to pay
A larger bill for a darker i'll,
So give them place to play.

WAR WITH JAPAN.

To the layman not versed in diplo-
matte affairs between nations, the re-
cent deployment of American troops
along the Mexican frontier does not
mean much. To the student of our
own internal affairs with continental
America 1t cannot mean much more.
The daily press has not dared go
much into detail as to any other
meaning than that the movement was
manouvre-a kind of million dollar
drill, or something of that kind. lust
why it should have been called into
beng, however, in these piping times
OF peace, has caused much speculation
all over the world, and the magma
tive ones have seen all sorts Of trou-
bic ahead for this country.
Japan has been pictured by Con-
gresham Hobson as liable within ten
months to shy her caster into the ring
with a def to Uncle Sam. This atti-
tude on the part of the Merrimac hero
has been looked upon as a means to
an end in trying to force a greater
navy upon the country. Japan will
not declare war upon the United
States, however, for many years, if
she ever does. There is not a single
menace to Japan in any one position
held by the United States, and no
nation with revenue of no more than
S350,000,000 a year is liable to be
toolhardy enough to challenge
country with almost unlimited re-
sources. Unless backed up by some

HALF NEW YORK is SINGING
But, Alas the Other Half Is Pro-

BY the number Of protesting letters re-
ceived in the last few days at the Health
Department one-half the population Of
New York seems TO be complaining
about the singing of the other half.
There is an epidemic of song, both in
houses and barrooms.
In a complaint received yesterday Il
was said that although dinner bell
ha0 been used in an effort to cause one
would-be Melba on the upper West Side
to desist no such result had followed
Another letter was about the singing Of
national airs in a barroom. with the
comment thrown in that "a saloon is a
poor place in which to sing national an
thems."
Such a sudden rise in the complaints
about music at all hours of the night
and day have caused department Off
cials TO believe that a great many per-
sons have come back from their vaca-
tions with gladdened hearts and lots Of
eXuberance.
