when Pope Was Broad.

Alexander Pope, the deathless poet OF
England, had a large and intimate ex-
perience of the theater. In his time he
was a welcome visitor behind the scenes
and most of the contemporaneous dra-
matte authors and actors were proud to
be on friendly terms with him. Mean
and little and contemplate as he was
in many of his personal relations (recal
Lady Mary Wortley Montagu's estimate
of his infinite littleness) he nevertheless
had a broad streak. This, of course,
from the viewpoint OF the intellectual.
He was in ready sympathy with the
strugglers on the stage, and he wrote
this apology for imperfections that are
inseparable from plays, no less than
from other works OF finite, therefore
imperfect, beings:
Whoever thinks fsultless piece to see.
Thinks what ne'er was, nor is nor eer shall be.

Knowing the Language.
From the New York Globe.


John Lind, the special commissioner
dispatched by President Wilson to Mex
leo to persuade both Huerta and Car
Tanza to retire, is an able, experienced
and conscientious public man. He is an
American citizen who is alike a cause OF
pride to the land of his nativity and the
land of his adoption.
But John Lind should not have been
sent to Mexico. He is not the man for
the job of Unohcially getting hold of the
leaders Of the battling factions in Mexi-
co. He does not know the Spanish lar :
guage. Few of the Mexicans are versed
IN English and fewer still in Swedish
Mr.. Lind will not be able to persuade,
because only through an interpreter can
he communicate with those that he would
persuade.
1t is nonsense to have as our agents
in Latin America men who are cut Oft
from speech with the persons with whom
they would confer. No country except
our own is guilty of such folly. Knowl-

Eighteenth Century Economics.

Mr.. Bryan's lunch habit reminds the
London Chronicle of similar instances in
English history. In the early eighteenth
century a wave of economy flooded Brit
ish civil service. The commissioners Of
customs, about 1722. were filled with
ideas of economical reforms. They re-
stricted their stan to so many reams OF
paper and a certain number of pens 4
year. And more. They put their own
house in order. They issued a self-de-
nying ordinance to the effect that they
would in future buy their own break
fast coffee, pay their own coach hire.

TASK Is DIFFICULT ONE
Workers in Streets, Bakers, Walters,
and Policemen All Have Perspirs-
tion-Inducing Jobs in Summer.

Hell is said by some to be the warmest
place in Summer. How this information
was obtained has no bearing on the pres
ent discussion.
Yuma, Ariz-, runs a close second, ac-
cording to those who have visited there
during the warm, to be conservative,
season.
But He'll Is far away from Washington.
Granting that the center of the earth is
the center of He'll, and that He'll must be
a very large place to accommodate all
its guests, the domain of his undoubtedly
inwardly Satanic, but beyond cavil out
wardly pleasant majesty must be closer
to Washington than Yuma; and Yuma
may not be visited by those who neither
smoke cigarettes nor drink Things from
iced glasses. Nevertheless, comparisons
with Hell as well as with Yuma must
be barred from the campaign hereby
launched: To determine the warmest
place in Washington.
First, there is the office of the news
paper. Everyone, OF course, is hot The
composing room is warmer than the
offices, and the press room at times Is
warmer than the composing room. The
stereotyping department, however, is
warmest. 1t is referred to sometimes as
hot. There half-clad men must work for
hours close to furnaces, and within reach
of molten metal which they must pour
into casting boxes.
Then to the street. There is a gang of
men working in the middle of the street.
They are repairing street car tracks, and
they stand for nine hours day, exposed
to the full heat of the sun. This Is bad
enough, but also they dig with pick or
shovel.
PoIfcemuu,s Warm TnsI<
Leave the construction gang to its
fate. At the corner there is a policeman

he does not have to dig. Stern conven-
ton, and even sterner-more stern, IL
you wish-police regulations forbid him
to shed his coat, his heavy cap, cr his
shirt. His, surely, is warm lot.
We can not tarry. This personally
conducted tour must not be delayed Be-
sides, it is too hot here on the corner.
Already we are overheated. Ours is a
warm lot. Not only do we have to walk
the hot streets, but we must
visit the places which are especially
warm, and in doing this we get the at
mcsphere of heat To study, We must
stay comfortable. So the logical move
is to a movie (the pun, on honor. is

Well we made it. We certainly did

hot to joke-you know We meant bathed

thought up here. Let's go down in the

that down here below the waterline it
would be cooler, with the cool waters of
the Potomac rushing by? Well, why isn't
it? Now that we think of II, 1t must
be pretty hot to work down here. Well

Here's where it's cool, all right. Up

That waiter must have a fine time. All
he has to go is to hang around here and

HOW TO BEAUTIFY OUR
VILLAGE.
By Ruth KOon.

O o 9 @ 9 9 @ 9 9 9 @ g 9 q q q q
To beautify our village we must
keep it clean. We must remove all
trash and rubbish out of the way.
The tin can district ought to be re-
moved and every can carried off and
buried. Cans carry all kinds of germs
which cause diseases. They cause
people to have consumption and ty-
cAoid feesy~su5s al ieihs~,hack gsFas
and Sometimes the front ones were
cleaned it would help the looks of the
place.
We can also beautify our village
by planting trees and flowers. What
is more beautiful than a shady street.
Everyone should have some pretty
flowers in his yard for no matter how
good or bad.
To beautify our village more we
ought to have beautiful churches. The
churches should be kept fresh paint
ed, not looking dirty. They should
have a pretty lawn all the way round
them and beautiful trees.
We can beautify our village by keep
ing the streets clean. The men
could make the streets pretty by not
splitting on them. The grass should
be kept off the streets.
To beautify our village more we
can plant flowers on the school
grounds. And have fountain in the
front of the yard Then plant grass
in the yard, and keep paper off the
ground.
Another way we can beautify our
village is to have all the creeks and
places where stagnated water is clean
ed out. If they were cleaned out there
would not be so many flies and mos
quitoes, which cause so many deaths.
If all the back lanes we're cleaned
and some sidewalks, the place would
look much better. The streets should
be fixed up and all the mud holes fill
ed up.
Let us remember that to beautify
our village we must keep it clean, re-
move all the tin cans and rubbish,
clean up the front and back yards,
plant trees and flowers, have beautiful
clean churches, and last, but not least,
have everything spotless.

Court Decision in West Virginia TWos
Cent Rate Case Brings One Man
a Fortune.

Huntington, W. Va, June IL
When the United States supreme
court yesterday sustained the two
cent passenger fare law Of West Vir-
ginia, it virtually placed in the pocket
of John J. Conway Of this place ap-
proximately $4,000. When the law
was enacted by the West Virginia
legislature in 1911 the railroads ap-
pealed to the courts and continued to
charge three cents mile, giving pas
sengers coupons emitting them to a
rebate of one cent a mile if the courts
decided the two-cent law was consti-
tutioual. Conway, who was railroad
ticket agent, noticed that many per-
sons threw the coupons away and
realizing they might some day be
good, he began collecting them. The
decision yesterday found him with
about $4,000 worth of perfectly good
coupons in his possession.

KILLED BY FALL OF FOUR FEET
Strange Fate OF a Painter Who Had
Many Narrow Escapes.

anniversary of a fall of 40 feet in
which he escaped injury, Hugo Wal
ker, painter Sc years old, was killed
today by falling only four feet. Dur
ing the last Is years he has several
times had falls of Is and 25 feet, each
time escaping injury. The only times
he was injured was when he fell
few feet from a porch roof and suf-
fered a fractured skull, and on an
other occasion tumbling off a fence
when three of his ribs and his jaw
were fractured. Yesterday as Walker
neared the bottom of the ladder he
tripped and fell to the ground, break

Hog Cholera and its Prevention

Note.-This is the fourth of a series
of short press bulletins on hog chol-
era. Preceding articles described
symptoms and post mortem LESSONS
of cholera, also the manner in which
the disease spreads.
Sanitary Measures For the COntrOl
of Cholera.-TO Protect Healthy
Herds.
When cholera exists in a nelghbor-
hood every hog owner should estab-
lish a strict quarantine on his indl-
vidual premises. No one except the
person taking care of the hogs should
be allowed near the fields or pens
where healthy hogs are confined and
this man should not, under any condi-
tions, visit premises where there are
sick hogs.
Dogs and buzzards should be con-
sidered dangerous and should be
guarded against. The buzzard is IN
doubtedly one of the most common
carriers of the disease, and it is un-
fortunate that these scavengers are
protected by law in some sections OF
the State.
All new hogs should be considered
infected and should be isolated until
sufficient time has elapsed (three or
four weeks) to prove their freedom
from disease Hogs purchased from
distant points should be protected by
injection with anti-hog cholera serum
before shipment, as they are apt to
be exposed to the disease en- route.
When cholera exists on adjoining
farms hogs should be protected by in
lection with anti-hog cholera serum,
It is also the duty Of all citizens to
see that the State law relative to
proper disposal of carcasses is strict
ly enforced.

To Prevent Spread of Cholera From
Infected Herds.

10 Prevent spread or CnOlera FTOIh
Infected Herds.
The sudden death of one or two
hogs should lead owners to suspect
cholera. Careful examination of the
carcasses should at once be made,
preferably by veterinarian, and the
carcasses should then be deeply bur-
led or burned.
If the LESSONS found on post NOR
tenn examintion are characteristic OF
cholera, a strict quarantine should be
established and all healthy hogs
should be moved to new lots or pens
until they can be protected by inJec-
ton with anti-hog cholera serum.
Pens and lots that have been occupied
by sick hogs should be thoroughly dis
infected. The lots can best be disin-
fected by plowing--the refuse should
first be cleaned up and burned or bur-
led. Pens, feeding troughs, etc., can
be disinfected with per cent. solu-
ton of compound solution of cresol, .
per cent. carbolic acid or other salts
factory disinfectant. Carcasses should
be Immediately burned or buried. This
is now required by State law.
Anti-hog cholera serum, when in
jected alone, gives immunity for from
four to eight weeks, but this immunl-
ty becomes more permanent when in
jected hogs are exposed to infection,
therefore some prefer to turn inject
ed hogs back on TO infected premises
for week or two before disinfecting.
Under existing conditions in this
State hog raising would be a very
uncertain proposition were It not for
the fact that hogs can be protected
from this disease by the use OF serum.
Information relative to anti-hog chol-
era serum will be given in the next
article.
