100 Years Ago Today

One hundred years ago today an up
rising took place in Holland against the
French. Holland, like the greater part
of continental Europe had come under
the domination of Napoleon, who, in
1906, had placed his brother Louis on
the throne. But kingship was not to
the liking of Louis, and he grasped the
first opportunity to lay aside his scep-
ter. His abdication, in 1910, was quick
" followed by the formal annexation
of Holland to the French empire. The
Dutch were now sorely oppressed, but
deliveranee was not far distant. The
allies were at last getting the better
of Napoleon and he was fast nearing his
downfall. Taking advantage of the per-
plexities Of the great emperor, handful
of Dutch patriots began a revolt. The
movement spread rapidly throughout
the country and, with material assist
anee from England, the Hollanders were
freed from the NapoleOnic yoke in a
surprisingly short time.

Homer
by GEORGE FITCH.
A uthOr of SAT Good old SiNnsh-"

TTOMER was a citizen OF Greece who
lived so long ago that some dit
= 4 fieulty IS found in celebrating
the correct centenary of his birth. He
was a blind man, and grew up without
many advantages; also without job.
Homer had good voice, however, and
he could sling the Grecian language with
dizziness and in a flowing, eloquent man
ner Therefore he did not worry about
work, but procuring a second hand harp
and pair of newly half-soled sandals
he set out through Greece, singing songs
of his own composition.
For many years Homer kept up this
occupation. 1t was a healthy life, and
he grew old untroubled with dyspepsia
or liver complaint, but he endured many
hardships. Time after time the police
of Aeolis, IOnia and other flOurishing
communities yanked him up for begging
on the streets without a license and
gave him the alternative of getting out
OF town or going to the works. He was
ragged and unkempt, his beard looked
like a FORMULATING haystaek and when
ever he broke the Z string of his faithful
old harp he had to put up his sandals
for security before he could buy a new
one.
Homer kept on composing more poetry
and putting it 70 music until he could

sing seven or eight hours at one sitting
on the same poem. Each year he drew
larger audiences, and some of the maya
zines were considering taking up his
stuff, when he finally died of old age and
inflammatOry rheumatism, caused by
sleeping on the rocky hiIlsides of Thraee
in the late fall, with a too well ven
tilated mantle for a quilt.
Afetr Homer died, the people missed
him and they began to dig out copies
of his poems which he sometimes sold
for a nights lodging. The poems read
so well that literary critics began to
praise Homer, and within few years
he was the greatest poet of his times.
His fame kept growing until Grecian
towns were compelled by law to read
his works at certain festivals, and AeOlis
went to war with IOnia because the
latter claimed him as an old home boy.
Homer wrote the Had and the Odys-
sey, both full of wonderful adventures,
which were not probably entirely true.
His trade Is still followed bv hundreds
of blind men who sing on the streets,
but who do not become as famous as
Homer, for several reasOns-one of which
is the fact that they insist on singing
their own songs, as he did.-Copyright

You don't know what mean? Well

which, unlike the visits of the COM

| or night. You are sitting at your desk
writing to a friend. Suddenly there
comes into your mind the thought OF
a teacher you once had and the queer
way she wore her front hair. You had
not been thinking either of hair or
teachers. You were writing to your
friend, Hasn't it been a warm win
ter?'' There was absolutely no con-
this queer memory that fitted into
your mind. What was it, then, but a
vague ghost of a thought that had
peen dwelling In the subconscious
mind, and came for a moment to the
door of your conscious mind?
A year or two ago L wrote about
these queer, unfathered thoughts that
come to all of us, and insisted that
tnere was some connection, even if it
were not imme diately discernible: that
If you hunted long enough you could
find the link.
