Famous Repartee.
From Harper's Weekly.


Recently we have been confessing to
n liking for special repartees. Here are
a few more that meet our personal no
ton OF that kind of wit:
When Sydney Smith was advised to
have his portrait painted by Landseer,
he asked:
"Is thy servant dog that he should
do this thingr
The same Sydney Smith, who. you
will remember, was a clergyman, was
in an argument. His opponent, pro-
yoked cried out: "If I had q son who
was an idiot. would make him par
SON"
your father" replied Smith, was of
a different opinion"
A story Is told of Henry Clay that is
also applied to earlier history to a
member OF parliament. A longwinded
member of congress said: You, sir.
speak for the present generation, but
speak for posterity."
1T seems" replied Clay, you are re-
solved to speak until your audience ar
rives."
Also I'm this connection the following
comes to mind:
The duchess Of Gordon-Have you
been talking as much nonsense as
usual, Mr.. Pitt?
Pitt am not sure, but think that
since I saw your grace have not
heard so much.

TravestY on Real EaIstaff.

Yarmouth has claim upon all Eng
lishmen quite independently of its as
sociations with the breakfast bloater,
remarks a writer in st. Nicholas. For
1t was the home of Shakespeare's Fal-
staff, who appears to have been a man
Of exemplary piety. The Falstaffs
were an old Yarmouth family.
"a Falstolfe or Falstaff," writes
John Richard Green, was bailiff of
Yarmouth in 1881. Another is among
the first of it's representatives in par
lament, and from that the members
Of that family filed the highest mu-
nicipal Offices. John Falstolfe, a man
Of considerable account in the town,
purchased lands at the close of the
fourteenth century in Castor, and be-
came the father of Sir john Falstolfe,
who, after distinguished military ca
reer, was luckless enough to give his
name to Shakespeare's famous char
acter. In Yarmouth, however, he was
better known as a berefactor to the
great church of st. Nicholas.

We have to deal with the remarkable
fact that a people. which lost It's coun-

the memory Of that loss, and links the

Here. then. we have two influences
at work for the re-establishment Of a
Jewish state--the British desire for a
neutral Palestine, and tho territorial
instinct Of the Jews themselves. There
is a third influence. Russia mas pledged

Historical Books Of the War.

Albert Bushnell Halt in The Outlook.
We Americans need to realize that
the reigning houses in the great ma
tions are part Of the national make
up; that q Hohenzollern or a Roman
off is a link In a long historical chain;
that the experiences OF those royal
houses are a part Of the assets Of
their countries. A week sovereign in
strengthened by the glory Of his an
cestors-a glory taught to children in
the schools. On the other hand, we see
the reigning houses sometimes re-
strained, sometimes enhanced, by
great ministers, whose successes are
also a part Of the national treasure
house. The memory and the ambitions
Of Bismarck, Cavour, and Gladstone are
factors in the present war, because they
helped to shape forces which are still
working, long after they are dead.
The political system of the great
European monarchies seems to use old
fashioned, outgrown, a dead weight;
Of their bone and flesh Of their flesh.
They support william. and Francis
Joseph. and Nicholas. and Moham-
med the Insignificant, because in that
way they are sharing in the glory and
power OF Frederick the Great, and
Peter, and Charles v. and Suleiman the
Magnificent.
Yet all nations are made up of in
dividuals, and not Of kings. The cause
of the present war are not personal, nor
national, nor even racial; every power
at var wants something which 1t has
not. whether territory in Europe, or col
onies, or influence in Asia, or world
domination. The peoples and their
Governments are simply parts Of the
same national organizations; neither
can be separated from the other and
the war can be understood only If we
see that the present state OF things
Is the resultant of forces, ambitions,
and rivalries which have been 60
ing on for centuries and which will
not cease when peace Is made.

FEEDING AND CARE or GEESE
One Of the Cheapest and Easiest Of
All Domestic Fowls TO Raise
Method of Management.

Geese are one Of the cheapest and
easiest of all domestic fowls to raise.
says the Farm and Fireside. They re-
quire little shelter at any time. and
if given plenty of pasture, will gather
the largest portion of their food from
the fields. They are very easily and
quickly fattened for market and bring
very good prices. This is the meth
cd for managing breeding and market
geese: Never mate over two females
to each gander. Never use females
less than two or ganders over four
years of age. They are allowed to
run in pasture where they have
plenty of grass to eat and water to
swim in. In winter and during the
laying season feed them lightly the
following ration: Bran, four parts;
shorts, two parts; cornmeal, one part;
and in winter cut clover, steamed,
four parts, is added. A goose will lay
so to 10 eggs in a season, If she is
allowed to sit The eggs require 80
days for incubation, and invariably
match well.
Goslings are removed from the in
cubators as soon as dry, and placed
in brooders where the heat for the
first "a hours is 80 degrees. After the
first "a hours the heat is reduced
daily until the goslings are ten to if
teen days old. Beginning the third
morning after Matching the goslings
are fed as follows, four times daily,
by measure: Bran, one part; rolled
oats, one part; cornmeal shorts, one
part. This mixture is dampened with
skim milk until it will crumble. Grass,
grit, and drinking water are always
before them
Water is given in fountains, so they
cannot get into it. They are fed as
mentioned until, they are eight weeks
old, when those for market are
closely confined to be fattened, and
fed as follows, three times daily, all
they will eat: Bran, two parts !;
shorts, one part; oil meal and beef
scraps, one part; cornmeal, one part.

Whole corn is frequently given.

Don't Want Them to Get Their
Hands Soft" He Says-HoIds
Some Unique Views.

Cairo, Egypt.-No explanation of
the government of Egypt is adequate
without the presentation of the name
of Lord Kitchener, who since his ap-
pointment as British agent in October
of 1911 has been increasingly the
unique and dynamic force behind all
the government agencies, alike the
protector of imperial English interests
and the humanitarian regeneration of
the land he loves, writes Clayton Sedg-
wick Cooper in letter from Cairo to
the Christian Science Monitor.
He came to Egypt to assist in the
completion of the splendid work of re-
generation commenced by Lord Gro
mer. He himself had before contrib
uted to the problem as the soldier
leader in Khartum, the conqueror of
the Khalifa, sweeping out of the Su-
dan the fanatical dervishes, nor did he
arrive one moment too soon to arrest
the tide that was surely carrying
Egypt backward from the high and
superb craftsmanship of Lord Gro
mer's regime.
The presence of an iron hand was
needed and not few Of Egypt's lead
ers were unconsciously turning in
their minds toward Kitchener. AS
the conversation of a certain Egyptian
officer who commanded a brigade at
Omdurman infers: Lord Kitchener is
a soldier. He is man of irGn. He
made a clean sweep of the Sudan He
is just, but he is not to be trifled with.
There is not a nationalist in Egypt
who would not bury himself in the
sand if Lord Kitchener came to Cairo.

ener in Cairo | realized that he was

Chicago.-The most urgent request

Christ Peterson, during her final years
was that he get married before her
death
"If not before / die, then at least be-
fore am buried" she told him.
The son was in no hurry. and not
thinking there was any likelihood of
his mother dying soon, he kept putting
it of. Perhaps one factor in the post
ponement was the hesitating attitude
of the girl of his choice, Miss Hannah
Jensen, 6838 Adams avenue.
But on last Saturday Mrs. Peterson
while visiting a neighbor was stricken
with apoplexy.
Young Peterson remembered the
last wish his mother had expressed.
He telephoned Miss Jensen and OBJ
tanned her consent. then telephoned
the license clerk and discovered it was
too late to get marriage license.

tor of the Zion Lutheran church, was

phoned again and asked to appear a

Orieptals, especially in certain stages
of their development.

dens sloping down to the Nile; as he

tian opinion.

official who commands an army to

centive similar to that of the name

in a comparatively brief time has
gained the confidence of the Egyptians
who have most at heart the country's

progressive and highly unitarian
measures which he is now promulgat-
ing for the new Egypt
