Greatness.

It Is possible to say OF Emerson, as
he said of himself, that his sentences
are mutually repellant particles-that
he has no construction; Of Dickens
that he runs too much to external
tags for character; of Jane Austen
that her stage is small: OF Scott that
he is careless and long; even Of
Shakespeare that he is uneven, cares
nothing for the spiritual unity OF
the universe. and sees life only as a
panorama. And when you have said

A. replica by Rodin of his statue of
"La Danaide" has been, purchased by
the Brooklyn museum and will form a

be remembered, were condemned to

Blow For Iowa Saloons

The Supreme Court Of Iowa last month handed down de-
cson which will make it necessary to close Iowa saloons
The court affirmed the Moon law which had been appealed
from the lower court According to the decision saloons that
not operating when the Moon law went into effect
only remain in business until the general petition of consent
expires.
This Moon law provides that in cities of the first and
ond class saloon license be issued for each 1000 nhab
tan For several years of the larger cities have
ceeded this quota From the office the attorney word
that the letter of the law would be enforced after the
first of the year. Acting in accordance with this decision the
city council of Sioux City, Iowa, last week threw hirtyone
saloons of business 1t is estimated that something

WINNING

1t takes little courage
And little self-control,
And some grim determination
If you want to reach a goal.
1t takes a deal Of striving,
And firm and stern set chin,
No matter what the battle,
If you're really out to win.
There's no easy path to glory,
There's no rosy road to fame,
Life, however we may view it,
Is no simple parlor game;
But its prizes call for fighting
For endurance and for grit,
For rugged disposition
And "don't- know- when-to-quit.
You must take a blow or give one,
You must risk and you must lose,
And expect that in the struggle
You will suffer from bruise.
But you mustn't vince or falter,
If fight you once begin,
Be man and face the battle
That's the only way to win.
