My soul goes clad in gorgeous things,
Scarlet and gold and blue;
And at her shoulders sudden wings,
Like long flames flicker through.
And she is swallow-fleet and free

She laughs, because Eternity
Blossoms for her with stars.
Oh, folk who scorn my stin gray gown,
My dull and foolish face
Can We not see my Soul Hash down,
A singing flame in space?

CHANCE TO HELP.
There is one opportunity which the
legislature should not overlook, and
that is to pass some sort of measure
that will help to advertise Kansas in
exposition. The last session passed
resolution favoring holding the expo
sition in 1915 at San Francisco in pre-
ference to New Orleans on the grounds
that thousands of people attending
from the east would pass through
Kansas over the great trunk line rail-
ways. The present session should not
fail to follow up that action. There
should at least be a small appropria-
ton provided and turned over to the
agricultural society or other state
authority for the purpose of calling the
attention of the world, as it passes
through Kansas, to the advantages Of
fered in this state. This will be like
the bread cast upon the waters, and
will return to the people of Kansas
ten-fold. It is legitimate, honorable
and withal judicious advertising, and
it is up to the representatives of the
people to take advantage of the OPP
portunity.-Newton Kansan-Republi-

UNCLE JOE ON GREATNESS.

UNCLE JOE ON GREATNESS.
The Hon. Joseph Cannon of Illinois
is of a modest il not shrinking ma
ture, and when he expresses his belief
that posterity will inevitably confuse
the Cannon who was speaker of the
house for eight years with the Cannon
from Utah, who had II wives. we are
confident that he speaks sincerely. For
that matter, very few of the members
of the American Academy of Arts and
Letters can be sure that posterity will
clearly remember them. To be con-
spicuOus in ones own era is not neces-
sarily to be accounted great in history.
Giordano Bruno is great in the his
torical sense, one Of the greatest of
the great. Yet he was never con-
spicuous in his lifetime until they
chained him to a stake and set fire to
the fagots. Uncle Joe is not like Bruno

shoes to the consumers will be ma

years ago that if hides were placed on

big drop in the price of shoes. This
was done by the Payne-Aldrich tariff
law. And not only were the prices of
shoes maintained, even with free
hides, but they were also increased.

fractions. It is given by the Castul-
luccias seven of them-Italian musi-
clans who display profound foudness
for the brass and Cor occarinas and
xylophones. The act does not move
along in the stereotyped channels:
that is, it is not the parade OF one full
band number after another, but rath-
er a continuous musicale. Take, for
instaoce, the music from the ''Il
Trovatore" tower scene. It opens
with French horns, transfers to a flute
and winds up on cornet, etc. The
longest haired member of the septet
is selected TO impersnate Creatore,
while the other six initiate his band.
And, if big tones are limitations,
they come very near the actually.
At one time it seemed as if the
theatre actually rocked. An occarina
trio. excellently played, was one of
the pettiest things Of the act. But,
as aforestated, it was one flow of
melodies. principally of the old Ital-
ian method, from the opening to the
close.
