Easy to Make a Gun.

The ameer of Afghanistan once start
ed q gun factory of which he was very
proud and placed 1t under the super
vision of a smart Yankee who could
keep his business to himself. Ameer
Khan, one of the ameer's chiefs, came
in to see the factory one day. The
Yankee showed him around, and at
the end of the inspection Amer Khan
said:
This looks very simple. Now tell
me just how to make a gun, and will
set up a factory in my own province
on my return home"
ut looks simple" said the Yankee,
land 1t is simple. To build a gun you
make hole first; then you wrap some
iron around it, and there you are"
Ameer Khan shook his head. "Ah, u
he said, there is plenty Of air for the
hole in my province, but how the iron
should be wrapped around it is thing
none Of my people know"

Bruce at Bannockburn.

Robert Bruce was the descendant
Of a Norman. He was half an Eng
lishman and half a Scotchman, and by
his mothers side he was a claimant
to the Scottish crown. After many
daring adventures and rude perils,
borne up throughout by strong perse-
vering conscience and an ardent love
of liberty, Bruce was able to get to-
gether a patriotic army to meet the
English at Bannockburn In 1914. Be
fore the battle began the Scottish
army knelt down In prayer. Edward
III. was looking on. He turned to his
favorite knight and said: Argentine,
the rebels yield. They beg for mercy"
"They do, my liege," the reply was.
"but not from you"

tory, but IN a rout.-Samuel Smiles

Poetry.

1t is a shallow criticism that would
define poetry as confined to literary pro-
auctions in rhyme and meter. The writ
ten poem is only poetry talking, and
the statue, the picture and the musical
composition are poetry acting. Milton
and Goethe at their desks were not
more truly poets than Phidias with his
chisel, Raphael at his easel or deaf
Beethoven bending over his piano. in
venting and producing strains which he
himself could never hope to hear
