We talk good deal about the
American spirit, but when we come
to defining it we are at loss. Some
times the generalization evades us
until some concrete instance lays 1t in
our laps. I get letters from an old
friend once in a while which seem to
me to breathe the real American
spirit.
One of these letters came ten OF
more years ago. My friend had been
a man of moderate wealth and had
lost everything.
Pm fifty-seven years old" said he,
land fat. Hard work certainly fats a
man up aWfully! And I'm broke-ab-
solutely broke. I've been looking
around for a new country to grow UP
with, and | believe I'll try Oklahoma.
That looks like a good State for a
young man like me. / don't know
where Pm going-in Oklahoma-but
I'm on my way. There is no doubt
that the home postoffice address OF
Dame Fortune is somewhere in Okla

Fat, fiat broke and fifty seven, he
went to Oklahoma. He had no trade or
occupation and he was physically in

young men who feel daunted at tn

The Decline of Idealism.

From the Boston Herald.
A seasoned diner-out who attends
all the reform gatherings in this city,
says that he sees the same people at
each one, and that their locks are be-
coming few and very gray. In other
words, whether it be the negro, or the
Filipino or the Indian or the Armen-
ian, that is suffering from oppres-
sion, or whether it be conditions in
the civil service, or in the municipal
lily that need correcting, only old men
are interested, and the same old men
make the rounds.
For example, the antiimperialists
will lunch next Monday. Their scanty
fellowship, as it turns into No. JOY
street, will not be mistaken for sun
day school picnic. The same freedom
from liability of mistake attaches to
Ia meeting in aid o9 the Navajo, or
any other supposedly despoiled race.
Time was when the hearts of the
Young men of Boston responded to
any appeal for human rights Bos-
ton men were reputedly idealistic, and
particularly to their youth. The
biographies of Hoar and of Sumner
and of Garrison all show this. But
| is it still true? The young men are
interested in their business, and in
their professions, and-in football.
Nor do we believe conditions differ
ent in any other American city. The
colleges all report small attendance
at those stated lectures which have
beer provided by old7time foundations
for the intellectual ediflcation of their
students. Only a few ''grinds'' go to
hear them. Middle-aged Cambridge
women and studious old men fill most
Of the seats intended for the student
body at Harvard on such occasions.
What does this tendency of the
times mean, and how long is il likely
to last? Must the pinch of economic
peril call our youth back to Il realiza-
ton OF more fundamental principles,
and so TO a more idealistic aim? Or
is there as much of the seeing of vi
sions as ever, except that these have
changed in their character? Think it
! over!

Direct Presidential Primaries.
rom the springfleld Republican.

From the Springfield Republican.
Not the least notable feature OF this
address is the recommendation that
legislation be promptly enacted pro-
Vidirg for the nomination of presi-
dents by popular primaries without
| the Intervention of national conven-
1, tions. The suggestion as to the COM
position of the conventions, which
should merely declare the results of
the primaries and frame the party
platforms, is highly interesting. The
recommendation Is radical and it
merits careful, but by no means hasty,
consideration. 1t is our judgment
that serious difficulties and disap-
pointments will be encountered in
working out the presidential nomina-
ton problem on these lines, in the
absence of more experience than the
country mas yet had with the direct
nomination system in the respective
States. Champ Clark and not Mr..
Wilson would now be president of the
United States, in all probability, if in
the spring of 1912 the voters of the
Democratic party, still unenlightened
as to the real requirements of the
swiftly changing political situation,
had been called upon to make a di-
rect nomination of their presidential
candidate

assistant director of the department,
last night handed in a doctors bill Of
$3.50 incurred for Cicero, council was
shocked. Gumbert, however. declared
the cat was worth every cent of the
money. He said that some time ago
o. big dog seized the cat and shook
1t violently, shattering its physical
and nervous system. A veterinary
was called in and finally restored
Cicero to health. Besides the doctors

k-Ray Reveals Heart of Girl ON
Right Side.
LONDON, Dec. GA puzzling prob.
lem of abnormality in a girl who i'm
sisted on doing everything backward,
among other things writing from
right to left, has been solved by Biz
mingham physicians. An examination
by the X-rays has revealed the fact
that her heart is on the right side
and some of her other organs, iu-
Guiding the brain, are also displaced,
The case has renewed interest in
that of the boy who saw things up
side down and wrote in that fashion.
The latter came to light about two
weeks ago.

The cactus towers, straight and tall
Through falow fields of chapparal;
And here and there in paths apart
dusky peon guides his cart
And yoke of oxen journey slow,
In Mexico
Upon the whitened city walls
The golden sunshine softly falls,
On archways set with orange trees,
On paven courts and balconies
Where trailing vines toss TO and fro,
In Mexico.
And patient little donkeys fare
With laden saddle-bags and bear
Through narrow ways quaint water-lars
Wreathed round with waXen lily stars
And scarlet poppy-buds that blow,
In Mexico.
When twilight falls, more and clear
The tender southern skies appear,
And down green slopes of blooming
Come cascades of cathedral chimes;
And prayerful figures worship low
In Mexico.
land of lutes and witching tones,
Of silver, onyx, opal stones;
A lazy land, wherein all seems
Enchanted into endless dreams;
And never any need they know,
In Mexico,
Of life's unquiet, swift advance;
But slipped into such gracious trance
The restless world speeds on, unfelt,
Unheeded, by those who dwelt
In oden ages, long ago,
In Mexico

Mr.. FricIs's Horse Chestnuts.

rom the New York Times.
Henry c. Prick, who is building his
new $3,000,000 house on the site of the
old Lenox Library ON upper Fifth
avenue, has just had thirteen horse
chestnut trees planted in front of the
residence on the block front between
SEVENTEEN and Seventy-first streets.
1t Is the largest operation in tree
avenue in many years, and possesses
another element of unusual interest
in that all of the trees are more than
thirty years old. The trees are set a
few feet back from the curb line, and
the spaces between them will be sod
ded with grass in the spring.
1t took several monlhs to find the
proper number of trees of the correct
size. Some of them came from an old
country estate near Germantown, Pa,
and others were obtained from Long
Island and Connecticut. They include
both the single and double Towering
horse chestnuts, and are from twelve
to fifteen inches in diameter a few
feet above the ground.
In order to insure good soil for
their permanent growth Mr.. FriclS
had the entire curb line excavated to
10 depth of six feet. To do this it was
necessary to blast out solid rock
throughout the entire block front.
Special soil from old gardens in Long
Island was brought, and several tons
have been used. The trees present a
sturdy, healthy appearance, but the
success of the transplanting operation
will not be known until spring.

Britnin,s Cannihnlr.

From the Westminster Gazette.
The pernicious influence of an I'M
lawful secret society in the protecto-
rate of Sierra Leone is mentioned in
a dispatch from the governor which
was issued recently. For a number
of years a particular district has been
the principal field for the operations
of an organization which goes under
the name of the Human Leopard So
ciety.
1t has not yet been decided whether
the object of the society is to satisfy
the craving which some savages have
for human flesh, or whether the eat
ing of human flesh Is only part of
some ceremony which is believed to
have the effect of increasing the men
tai and physical powers of the men,
bers.
