Among the lmmOTtaIs,

We noted last week the election of
DIR. Basil L. Gildersleeve as one of the
American Immortals That DR.. Glider
sleeve, like the average American. is
not unduly elated over his advancement
will be seen by the following taken
from the Baltimore Evening Sun:
Immortality, from the viewpoint of
Professor Basil L. Gildersleeve, A. B
A, M, Ph. D. LII. D., D. C. L., L. H.
D., ID. Lit, Hon. Mem. Cambridge
Plilol. Soc, Archaeol, Soc, Philol.
Syllogos of Constantinople, Soc. Pro
motion Hellenic Studies, Cor. Fellow
British Academy, author of Latin
Grammar, Green Syntax, Editor Odes
of Pindar, etc, ETC., etc, is eminently
desirable from every point of view.
He, with 80 other Americans, has been
chosen to grace the Academic Fran
caise of. the Western Hemisphere. He
has, in short, become an immortal.
"Dr. Giidersleeve was located on the
third floor of Mccoy Hall, gazing calm
ly over the snowclsd city. He looked
just like he has always looked. WHY
won't the great look the part? Why
will they leave it to the half successful
business man?
"How does 1t feel to be immortal?
Professor Gildersleeve was asked.
He sat back in his chair, placed his
hands behind his head and closed one
eye. This eye remained closed for
some time. Then he removed his spec
tacles and opened the eye. He didn t
say Tut! But he looked it.
"As was elected to the academy in
1908, / should be quite used to it by this
time, he replied. People do not seem
to exactly understand what the acad-
emy is, so l will explain. That is much
more interesting than how may feel
The American Academy of Arts and
Letters is section of the National In
stitute of Arts and Letters, a society
organized by men nominated and elect
ed by the American Social Science As
sociation at its annual meeting in 1898.
Seven members were selected by
ballot in 1904 as the first members Of
the academy. These seven were re-
quested and empowered to choose eight
other members, the fifteen thus chosen
to choose five others, and those twenty
to choose ten -others-thirty in all.
The limit has since been extended
by the academy, continued the immor-
tai, which is a self-governing and self
perpetuating body, to so. The original
seven were beyond question among tn
most prominent representatives of arts
and letters in America, and it may fair
ly be claimed that the academy, beint,
selected after careful scrutiny from the
members of the institute, itself made
up of the leading literary men and ar
fists of the country, deserves to be con-
sidered as holding for America an anal
ogous position to that held by the great
academies of Europe.
81 was elected a member of the Ma
tional Institute in 1906, of the Academy
in 1908. l had previously been elected
in l9O7--corresponding fellow of the
British Academy.
THAT is quite enough, although l
would like to tell you of the unsigned
postcard l received from some doting
friend, with these words writ upon it:
What Fools These Immortals Be-
Are theyr questioned the stranger
within the gates.
Professor Gildersleeve closed the
other eye, which was. of course, acci-
dental"

A welrknowo minister who had been
preaching begging sermon, concluded
it as follows: 'I don't want any to
contribute who have not paid their sub
scription to the home paper, for country
papers need money a great deal more
than do the heathen." That minister
knew what he was talking about.

Butter Color and Oleo Again.
Washington, D. G.

WaSQlnS LOO, ~. ".
Editor Monitor:
dairy state. imagine that anything
of honest dairying will be well re-
ceived by your readers, consequently
] wish to reply to the communica-
tion of Mr.. John Leroy Wheelock
which appeared in your issue of May
lst.
He says he uses oleomarga on his
table and knows it to be pure whole
some article of food. On this point
there is no dispute but such express
sions as that sometimes have the
effect to befog the real issue. All
| that the dairy interests and many of
the customers of the country are
fighting is the manufacture of a
coun terfeit product, With natural.
honest oleomargarine We have no con-
tention. The law allows honest nleo-
margarine to go practically untaxed
but imposes a tax of 10 cents a pound
on the product when it goes from its
natural field and poses as a counter
felt.
The late Senator Hoar of Massa-
chusetts in speech defending this
10 cent tax says it is tax mot on
cooring. Oleomargarin is not taxed
under this bill when we come to the
last analy sis. 1t is the fraud, the
colorlng to make it look like butter,
that we are putting the tax on.
i Mr.. Wheelock goes beyond the lines
of accuracy in claiming that the but
ter makers have attempted to create
commercial monopoly" of yellow
color by law and that it is "a mis-
take to assume that the butter indus
try has any natural claim to the yell
, low color" 1t is matter Of COM
mon knowledge that the natural color
of butter is yellow-of different
shades to be true; but that the natur,
al color of butter is yellow needs no
proof. The natural color of oleomar'
garine is much lighter in shade than
the natural color of butter. The oleo
margarine manufacturers (the bee
trust) want to color oleomargarlnt
for the sake of putting more profit IN
J to their own pockets.
Although various colors are consld
! cred appetizing in connection with foot
, products, to wit; the black of tn
black berry, the red of the strawber
q ry, the green of the lettuce. tn
brown of the chocolate, the oleomar

e product yellow merely because yellow
is the natural color of butter.
= Mr.. Wheelock says "The butte
manufacturer is permitted to use com
mercial color without paying an
J. tax" The butter manufacturer whe
he does use commercial color neve
Y cares to use any color but butter col
or for the purpose of emphasizing tn
n natural color of butter and not wit
the intention of making it appear Iik
something which it is not. The olet
e margarine manufacturer also want
to use 'butter color,' not oleomargs
is rine color, for the purpose of decei,
ing his customers or rendering decel
tiOn more easy.

ready to help in time of illness Or
misfortune. For several years past
she had been in poor health and for
six weeks previous to her death had
been confined to ber bed and a part
of this time she was great sufferer.
Much sympathy is felt for the hus-
| band and daughters who mourn her
loss. The funeral was held from her
late home on Prospect street, Thurs
Gay afternoon, Rev. W. A. Warner

Welcome O.. Brown cemetery. The
