WHEN MOTHER WAS A GIRL.

They wore no extra wads Of hair
When mother was q little girl. h
There was no hobble skirt affair 3g
When mother was a little girl.
The waist line didn't change a bit,
They never wore peach basket hats,
The sheath gown hadn't made a hit.
No one had ever heard OF james and rats,
When mother was a little girl.
The women smoked no cigarettes
When mother was q little girl.
Nobody'd heard OF suffragettes
When mother was little girl.
The maidens chewed no wads OF gum
In public. as they do today;
The bridge whist fever hadn't come,
The girlies didn't get SO gay,
When mother was little girl.
The maidens did the washing, too,
When mother was a little girl
And swept and brushed the house all
through,
When mother was little girl.
They had to wash the windows clean,
They didn't go to matinees;
They spent their time in other ways
When mother was a little girl
They didn't wear these high heel shoes
When mother was a little girl
Nor Laura Jeans love tales peruse,
When mother was a little girl.
The maidens were quite circumspect;
They didn't sit up half the night.
Their sweethearts left, you recollect,
Before the gray of morning light
When mother was a little girl.

The Republic of Vermont.

The l35th anniversary of Yer
mont's declaration of independence
is worthy of note if not of formal
observance. No other state in the
union has an Independence day of
its own, but the makers of our state
holidays have ignored this unique
event in American history.
On January Is, lit, the repre-
sentatives from the several counties
and towns of the New Hampshire
grants, in convention at Westmin-
ster, among other stirring things,
declared the district known as the
New Hampshire grants to be "a free
and independent state, capable OF
regulating our internal police, in all
and every respect whatsoever, and
that the people on said grants have
the sole and exclusive. and inherent
right of ruling and governing them

General Woods Record.

General Leonard Wood, now chief
of stan Of the United States army, was
graduated in medicine from Harvard
and got his military start as d surgeon.
When he was made chief of STAFF the
wife Of an officer who had been con-
sidered for the place remarked acridly:
Ills hottest ammunition has been
dtsinfectants, and he has had more ex-
perience with the mouths of bottles
than with the mouths Of cannonr'
Which remark, while biting and I'M
kind, was not true. Wood has seen
the toughest kind of service in the
field. especially as colonel in Roose-

The Letters OF Horace

Rare Ben .Jonson's tribute to Hon
ace is used, appropriately enough,
at the beginning of recently pub
lished book containing letters of the
Latin poet presented to modern
readers" "Such," wrote Jonson in
his ''Discoveries," ''was Horace, an
author OF much civility, and il any
one among the heather can be the
best master, both of virtues and
wisdom an excellent and true Judge
upon cause and reason; not because
he thought so, but because he
knew so, out of use and experience.
The volume is companion to
"Horace for Modern Readers" put
forth some two years ago by the
same editors, John Cotton Dana,
librarian OF the Newark Library, and
his brother, DIR. Charles LOOMS
Dana, of New York. 1t includes
more than half of the Epistles.
The editors of course would be
voted hopelessly old-fashioned by
such deep thinkers as r. L. Crane
and other foes of the classics. They
actually have the temerity to an
nounce their belief that readers of
the present day can find something
worth while in Horace, and they
commend Horace's letters as reveal
ing his personality and his philosophy
of life. They have sought to present
number of these letters in form
of interest to the modern public.
"This does not mean," they explain,
+" that we have tried to put the text
into superior English, or to adorn
and uplift it with the devises of lit
erary art. This is not needed in
order to make letter of Horace's
readable and understandable. The
effort rather has been to give the
facts regarding the personality of
the people to whom the writings
are addressed, to tell of the time and
occasion of writing and supply the
local, historical and NEUROLOGICAL
references, also to keep the thread
of the story and show the connection
of the reasoning"
The editorial work has been well
done, and the translations are praise
worthy.
A special feature of the book, and
valuable feature, is its illustration.
There are reproductions of nine OF
the copperplate engravings made by
Otto Vaenius about 1900, to illnst-
rate the apothegms of Horace, and,
in addition, eight half tones, from
photographs taken for the volume,
show the region of the Sabine Farm.
In their introduction, the editors
write of the Sabine region, a sketch
map of the country accompanying
this portion Of the text. In connec-
ton with recent Investigations in
that region, it is of interest to know
that, in the summer of 1910, the
editors "obtained the services OF
Signor Loescher, OF Rome, who
sent a photographer to the Sabine
valley. He uncovered and photo
graped the long buried mosaic pave
ment OF the supposed villa of Hor-
ace, and obtained other views of the
more familiar points" These pic
lures are the halftones to, which re-
ference has been made.
The book is TASTEFUL, printed and
bound.

An Arizona Statesman.

AS a result of the success Of the
Democrats at the first state election
held in Arizona Marcus Aurelius Smith,
long picturesque figure at Washing
ton, will be invested with the toga.
Both Mr.. Smith and his colleague,
Henry f. Ashurst, were nominated for
the United States senate, and as the
legislature is safely Democratic their
election Is assured.
Mr. Smith is native of Kentucky,
graduate of Pennsylvania university,
Lexington, and lawyer by profession.
In 1881 he went to Tombstone and
hung out his shingle, and from that
time on Arizona was his watchword.

were 6,5e4,6s5 turkeys on farms IN

3.6S8,708 in 1910. At the rate OF de
crease indicated the turkey will be

Louisiana Sulphur.

The Importance of the Louisiana
sulphur-mining industry is strongly
indicated in some figures Of the cen
sus bureau covering the period be-
tween 1902 and 1909. Prior to 1902
the production of sulphur was COM
bined with that of pyrite i'll the cen
sus figures. Since 1902 the imports OF
sulphur, principally from Sicily, nave
declined from III. $3.50 tons, valued at
So, $50, to 30,5S9 tons, valued at
s549, 632 in 1909, the importatlons
having fallen as low as 21,136 tons,
in 1908. The big drop occurred IN
1905, when the S4,S39 tons imported
were 1913 tons less than in 1904.
Production in this country has in
creased from practically nothing in
1902 to 49, e2 tons in 1904, valued
at 81, $50 ,76O, and to 239,312 tons, val
ued at $4,432, O66, in 1909, the record
Iyear having been 1908, with pro-
duction Of 369,444 tons, valued II
s6,66S,215. The change is due to the
bringing into production of the vast
deposits in Calcasieu parish, Loulsl-
ana, both giving the American market
Its supply and sending sulphur TO
other parts of the world. The ex'
ports in 1909 amounted to 1888 tons
more than the imports.--Manufac
