Literary Vaudeville.

A New England admirer Of LonEfel
low proposes that the afternoon Of
February 81 Of each year be set aside
In the public schools as a time to give
special attention to the poets life and
works. Longfellow was doubtless q
great American poet, but he already
has sufficient place in the schools BY
being represented in every reader put
forth since he lived and wrought. And
there is already too much foolishness
in the schools, and too little reading,
writing and arithmetic. Unless this
tendency toward holidays and special
days in schools comes to an end soon,
it will be necessary for teachers I'd
take a course in vaudeville to provide
the needed variety, and about all the
children will take is a vacation.-At

a Huntlnu story.

An old backwoodsman that Abra-
ham Lincoln often told of had very
heavy, over-hanging eyebrows, and
wore big ~spectacles with brass rims.
One day he came rushing into his
cabin and selling his rifle, aimed 1t
carefully through a crack Of the door
at a great oak tree that stood near,
and fired.
What is it," whispered his wife.
"A wildcat, Sairy," he said, en-
citedly, IAN missed him!"
He hastily loaded and fired again,
and then again.
Nov, hold on, joshua" said his
good wife. Let me look at you. Why,
laws-a-daisy, it's nethin' but a little
bug on one O. your eyebrows!"-

IS CONSUMPTION A
Durable DISEASE ?

POMONA has perfected a number
Of run down tuberculosis threats n

From past experience, one Of which
is told below, It seems that the great
White Plague is at last mastered. Po-
MONA, a purely vegetable compound
containing neither minerals nor mar
cotics, builds up the system and re-
lieves the pain In throat and lungs.
A healthy body positively will not
harbor a tuberculosis organ. PO-MO-

somewhat nervously with the paper
cutter, as If not quite decided as to
what response to make. He coughed
and fused with the papers on the
desk.

The judge looked up. There was
an expression in his face that might
have been interpreted as one Of an
noyance, as if he rather resented this
intrusion into his business affairs,
but Mrs. Jeffries, sr., was too i'm
portant a client to quarrel with, so
he merely said:
Frankly, Mrs. Jeffries, If it we're
not for the fact that Mr.. Jeffries has
exacted from me a promise not to
take up this case, I should be tempted
to-consider the matter. In the first

round, and facing his client, he said

The Alrshlp as a Peace Maker.

DR.. Josiah Strong once made the re-
mark that a man can now live as long
as Methuselah because he can put as
much into a year as Methuselah put into
a dozen years. They had to live long in
the days of the patriarchs because it
took SO much time to go anywhere. Now
men are geared up with all manner of
machinery and can skip across the cOun-
try in "a dream or put their thoughts
over all the land while the ancients
were yoking their oxen to a cart. But
with all Americas amazing progress it
would have been much greater had the
growth not been retarded by wars.
Fifty years after the Civil war we have
a large standing army and an immense
navy. War is the height of folly and to
an old soldier it seems ridiculous. The
uncivilized tribes of Indians were some
what eXcusable for being continually en-
gagged in warfare, because they did not
know n better way to gain their
imaginary rights. They never learned to
control the animal nature that is given
all mankind.
We learn from the press that general
arbitration treaties between the United
States and Great Britain and France
were signed Aug. 3. How long it will
take for all the nations to agree to settle
all international troubles by arbitration
is a matter of conjecture. There is no
guarantee of justice being done by going
TO war TO settle differences or gaining
rights. The armies having the best re-
sources are sure to win. In the great
war king cotton was blocked, cutting off
the main dependence Of the southern
armies and the result must have been
surrender even If there had been only
six great battles instead of twelve.
We welcome anything that will estab-
lish permanent peace between nations.
The airship is far ahead of everything
else VI to date as a peace maker. Its
power of destruction with explosives has
not been tested in warfare, but accord
ing to the progress it has made in the
last two years in the art and science OF
travelling in the air its usefulness as an
instrument of destruction will soon be
tremendous.
A fleet of gunboats attacked by a fleet
of airships would be like a rat in a trap.
If the alrship had existed half a century
ago the writer of these lines firmly be-
lieves that there would not have been
any Civil war. When he'll fire and brim-
stone are coming from above in hundred
pound chunks the man with a gun built
expressly for picking off aviators would
he like the soldier met by General Cor
| don sprinting from the battlefield. The
general shouted What are you running
for"-"because | can't fly" came back OF
the breeze.
We can only hope and trust that the
sentiment of peace will become so uni
Versal and strong that there Will be ne
use for military forces on land or sea.
A RECRUIT.
