CARCASSONNE.

An old man staggered on the road. His weary form was bent Beneath the weight of so years; To this his soul gave vent I've ne'er seen Carcassonne." Upon the hills the city stands; On mountains blue it lies: It glitters white in distant lands, But weary he who tries
 To reach fair Carcassonne. There basks the grape beneath the
 sun
 And yields its golden store; There purling silver rivers run Before each lintled door
 In happy Carcassonne. There every day a Sunday Is And this my vision ereets- In shining roses of splendor full The people walk the streets Of far-off Carcassonne. There walls of castles greet the sky As Babylon of old; A bishop and two caliphs there. An, could l but behold
 Just once sweet Carcassonne. Upon the road the old man died; He never reached the gate. As life is full of cities such 1t is each mortaPs fate
 To ne'er see Carcassonne.

NED BRACE TALKS ABOUT HENRY cLAYTONS
 AND OTHER THINGS OF INTEREST

TT was an honor well and deservedly bestowed which the President con 0 ferred upon Henry D. Clayton yes terday In naming him for the vacancy on the United states bench caused by the death of Judge Thomas c. Jones. Henry Clayton is not only an able lawyer but man of strong person allty, firm and fair. He will honor the bench.
 President Wilson is a sincere ad- mirer of Henry Clayton, and should there be vacancy on the supreme court bench during his term of office the chances are that Clayton will be promoted
 It was fortunate for Mir Clayton that the vacancy occurred on the bench of the middle district of Alabama after he had finished the preparation of his dnll-lTuSl DlllS, III Wnlcn lne GTcSluenl has been so much interested It is pos sible that Mir. Clayton will not retire from Congress until these bills shall have been passed through the House; although having completed the bills in accordance with the wishes of the administration his presence will not be absolutely necessary

From the New York Sur

According to the New Velasquez Die tionary,'' 'gringo, pronounced green go.' is colloquial Spanish adjective for ''unintelligible gibberish,' applied to lau. guage. As a noun, stigmatized as "vul- gar,' "gringo" is "a nickname given to one who speaks foreign language. In South America applied especially to the English and Germans" According to the New International Noah, 'gringo'' means ''among Spanish Americans foreigner especially an Englishman or American chiefly contemptuous."

the effect of putting an end to the tac- tics of some of the labor leaders who have in years past resorted to murder, arson and all manner of crimes in the sev- eral states.

Another ex- ample set like that resulting from the Los Angeles outrages, would be well after a full and fair investigation into the Colorado situation The prime insti- gators should be dealt with as they de- serve.
 fresioent Wilson and MT. Bryan are en- deavoring to practice what they preach in the Mexican situation. They are both men of peace. But the general public and those who have made a careful an. alyss of the Mexican situation do not be. lieve there can be any peace in that coun- try until the United States troops have driven Huerta out. This must be done either by the United States army or by the Carranza and Villa forces, which lat ter does not seem probable unless tho United States should aid them.
 It rather looks to the outside observer like the acceptance on the part of Huerta of the proposals of the A-B-C peace ne- gotiators was really play for time, to call more men to arms and to concentrate his forces in a better position to repel the United States troops.
 Huerta is shrewd warrior and time will prove his skill in diplomacy.
 It will indeed be well for President Wilson to urge the A-B-C negotiators to early action.
