OLD JOHN BARLEYCORN

From the Chicago Tribune.
There was three kings into the East,
Three kings both great and high.
And they haze sworn a solemn oath
John Barleyeorn should die.
They took plough and ploughed him
down,
Put clods upon his head.
And they hae sworn solemn oath
John Bareycorn was dead.
But the cheerful spring came kindly on
And showers began to fall;
John Barleycorn got up again,
And sore surprised them all.
IERE are the first three stanzas OF
Robert Burns ballad of John Bar
> leycorn. But the Scotch poet was
only improving upon an older ballad-a
ballad composed no one knows how many
centuries ago. long before printing, GER
tainly, and preserved in ancient black let
ter text in the Pepys library at Cambridge
university.
But, ancient as the ballad of John Bar
leycorn is, it is fresh as morning compared
to its theme-the eternal contest between
those who have Sworn an oath John Bar
leycorn should die and those who main
tain his merits and uses for mankind.
There are no records of the first temper
anee society. But that is perhaps because
the fight on John Barleycorn began before
men were putting down records, knowing
ly. of any kind. Certainly when records
began to be made there already was John
Barleycorn and his foes at point of lance.
And now. on the very threshold of wom-
ans newly won world of political en-
franchisement, we find the forces of John
Barleycorn and the forces of his foes
fighting for the new recruit.

MYSTERIOUS MAN
FINDS HIS NAME
Hero Of spanlsh-Amerlcan War Is In
Hospital With no Memory
Of Himself.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.
ROCHESTER,, MINI, May 26.-"J.
G. r." the mysterious man at the
state hospital here who has enlisted
the aid of the nation in establishing
his identity, Is today believed to be
Jacob R. Rotrom, late lieutenant in
the United States navy and one of the
heroes of the Spanish-American war.
Edward Vogt, of Newark, N j., who
says in a letter to the hospital au-
thorities that he is a sailor and at
one time served with Rotrom on the
old battleship New York, declares his
attention was called to the case OF
lost identity in the Minnesota hospi-
tai by the initials j. G. R. He also
enclosed picture Of the mysterious
likeness OF Rotrom.
When shown the name of the letter
writer u. c. r. made known by
his queer signs that he had once
known Vogt Then he was shown the
name Jacob r, Rotrom
For While the mysterious man
looked puzzled, then his face lit up
with look of the most unalioyed Joy
he has shown. He used every means
in his power to show that he was
positive that was his name.
Although complete search Of navy
records has not been made, officials
of the navy recruiting office here
declare they do not believe the name
of Rotrom appears on the enlistment
books.
