In front Of 1916 l street a sheet
iron cylinder has been converted into
a flower box Or a flower tank. The
cylinder was one Of those which may
be seen by the side Of a furnace, and
its normal function is to hold water,
hot or cold. That is probably what
this cylinder was used for before its
dedication to Flora. The name of the
foundry or the maker may be seen on
the west end Of the cylinder.

NO CAUSE FOR WAR

Without having any inside infor-
nation as to his state of mind, but
judging solely by his public state
ments and acts. President Wilson is
not going to send the United
States army into Mexico unless he
is forced to do so by irresistible
public sentiment, says the Mime
apulis News.
AS q nation, we have absolutely
nothing to gain by a war with
Mexico.
AS individuals. we have nothing
to gain by war with Mexico, ex.
cepting those few of US who have
invested some of cur millions in
Mexican mines or railways.
AS a nation and as individuals.
we have everything to lose by war
with Mexico.
The cost to us in lives and money
of such va: is beyond computation.
We have every confidence in the in.
t. ntion and ability of Preside
Wilson to keep the United States
army OH this side cf the border
where it belongs.
The great danger in the situa-
tion is that men whose financial in
terests will be served by a war with
Mexico will take advantage OF
some untow2rd event, such as the
killing of Americans or other for,
eigners in Mexico, to create a wal
sentiment in this country, which
even 10 strong a mar as President
Wilson will not be able to resist.
AS we view the Mexican situa-
ton we can scarcely conceive of
anything on the other side of the
border that would justify the sacri.
flee of lives of thousands Of Ameri-
cans that would inevitably result
from sending the United States
army into Mexico.
Let US all keep cool and not lose
sight of this vital fact. A Mexican
war will mean thousands upon
thousands of dead and crippled
Americans; thousands upon thous.
ands OF broken-hearted American
women; thousands upon thousands
of f~atherless children; hundreds OF
millions of dollars added to the tax
burden, every dollar of which must
be finally paid by the working PEG.

NOBLE LORD HAD DEFECTS

Popularity.

Lord Sandwich, whose claims as a
faith healer are receiving such short
consideration from the authorities,
has had several uncomfortable expe-
riences on account of his title. When
ne was travelling in the United States
ne was introduced at ball to young
lady. When the introducer asked,
May | introduce Lord Sandwich" the
young lady remarked, my! Is Lord
Spongecake coming later?"
Lord Sandwich is fourth in descent
from a peer whose name Is crystal
lied in half dozen languages through
his having ordered a waiter to place
some meat between two slices of bread
and bring 1t to him as he sat at cards.
The invento' Of the sandwich was
nicknamed Jenny Twitcher, owing to
MS awkward. stumbling gait. One of
his friends objected to going out with
Lord Sandwich. because he always
walks down both sides Of the street
at once"

when in Paris had dancing mas

Growth of Libraries,

The multiplication of public free
Libraries in recent years has convert
ed the annual meeting of the Library
association from an enjoyable family
party into an immense and formal
conference. The change Is not exact
ly of yesterday, but it comedies more
or less with the burst of library build
ing stimulated by the munificence of
Mr.. Andrew Carnegie. Judged by the
amount of public money expended
upon them, Libraries take rank now
among our leading public services.
Whether the good that they do Is a
fair return for the expenditure upon
them Is more open to doubt. Il is
a sound IDEAL and indispensable to a
real national culture, that every con-
siderable town should possess a CEN
trail reference library, at which would
be scholars and students Of any sub.
ject may, as far as possible, have ac-
cess to all books of serious value.
