The Cause of
the Spring Poet
By JAMES RAyENsCRoFT.

Long have the spring poet and his ef.
fuslons been laughed at and rallied at by
practical minded people, and subjected I'd
much more shocking discourtesies from
editors. But. nevertheless. this feverish

and his hereditary traits are not without
cause.
The spring poet was incubated in an
uncomfortably inccnyenient time away
back yonder when people were glad to
see spring when IL rolled around.
They warmed themselves by fires that
put them In a fix similar to that of
Mother Earth-one part bllstering in equa-
torial heat and the rest shivering in polar
frigidity-and kept them dry and stale by
smoking all the moisture out Of them
through their eyes.
They slept in beds and old insomnia had
nothing on at all: they ate food that
along about February became an unwel-
come, If necessary. guest Of the system.
and they were constantly involved in
labor troubles by their lIvers going on
strikes. and they had Influenza and rheu-
mates and various other miseries Of the
flesh. including the cures Of the miseries.
And all the time they we're tied up in
coarse. heavy clothing, and history falls
to set forth the fact IL they changed this
winter apparel, or IL they took an all
over wash between summers.
Is it any wonder they felt like writing
poems when gentle spring was seen ap.
preaching in the distance2 They lifted
up their voices with the bulIfrog. the
bluebird and other vernal harblngers.
The coming Of spring meant getting

| JOHN GAY.
I wonder how many OF my girls recall
the story OF the hare. Her care wal
never to offend, and she claimed as q
friend every creature in the woods OF
plain.
One day the hounds gave pursuit, and
breathless and half dead with fright she
appealed TO the horse.
The horse replied that he would gladly
take her on his back. but her many
| friends who were coming would claim the
privilege OF helping her.
The stately bull couldn't stop. But she
must not worry. he said, for she had Sc
many friends they would surely save her,
The goat, a particular friend, he said,
was just behind.
The goat would gladly save her. he
said, but felt that she would have a more
secure hold on the back Of the sheep.
The sheep reminded her that hounds
also eat sheep. and trotted away. In turn
the calf. and every animal that passed,
left her rescue to some other true friend,
"of whom" every animal said, you have
SO many"
The hounds caught up with the hare
when she made her last appeal. and this
ends the fable.
The hare's fate Is due to the fact that
she scattered BY this is meant that
she tried to make her friendship cover
such a large surface that it was too thin
to be Of value In any place.
1t was as IL one took a gallon Of paint,
and tried to make it cover a square mile.
To do this such dilution would be neces-
sary that the effect would show no paint
at all. only an ugly looking moisture.
Both friendship and paint lose their
usefulness by making them cover too
large a surface. -.
Those who have many friends some
times find that in quantity they have
lost sight Of quality.
A circle OF friends may be so large

lance are CROW ded out.

Governor Wilson on Business.

Governor Wilson, HI we have had oc'
CASTOR often to point out. has no hnrd
and fast rule for the treatment Of bust
ness by the government, though he
sees. as every sensible man must see
that In these times the government
must directly or indirectly deal witt
business. In his brief letter to the
National League of Business Men Fol
Wilson and Marshall he says:
THE problem of politics Ia co-opera,
ton. and | am very sure that just as
O an the business OF this country
has general. free. welcome access &c
the councils Of government all friction
bet ween business and politics will dis
appear"

and In the past the motives enlisted in
the dealing of government With bust

That Ia the obstacle that the governor
will seek to emovs. He has had the
same task on a smaller but important
scale In his own state. and he has had
more success than any n imagined
possible. With his experience and his
hold on public sentiment. In case OF
his election 1t Is reasonable to expect
he will have proportionntely greater
success IN federal administration. In

that We have one candidate for the

Second. 1t IL Democratic In the true
