Give myself time to learn some thing new and good and cease to be whirled around.
 Marcus Aurelius.
The undiplomatic George Fred

The job of United States minister to Greece is the present minister, George Fred Williams Massa- chusts is in the possession the state department and has probably been accepted by this tme Mr Williams had held this position something more than year, or ever since the beginning of this admnis- traitor. No time was lost in preparing berth for George Fred as a reward for his blind and unques- tioning following of the apparently hopeless for tunes of MT Bryan for nearly twenty years
 MT Williams had long been recognized as a man of parts but it was not the belief of those who had observed his impulsive career that diplomacy was one of those parts In this instance the impulsve- of Mir Williams broke out a criticism of the presence of William of Wied in Albania a matter entirely outside the jurisdiction of the American minister to Greece. He has no more right to be there than I have declared Mr. Williams and in this declaration he asserting any claim of his to the Albanian throne
 But he was stating a fact, a thing a diplomat is not expected to do except of the utmost necessity, and then he is not expected to state in a direct and unqualified manner. It was not the criticism of the appropriateness of William of Wied that hurt but the criticism of European powers which had placed that weak penniess princeling on the throne of Albania in times past they had
  purposes.
 The European nations all called Christian nations but they responsible the Turks and the wild tribes of that region the disorders there the atrocities which from time to time have shocked the world. Their jealousy of another has been the handspring of the red turmoil.
 The people Albania didn't want a king at al and, especially, they didn't want William of Wcd They also probably think that MT Williams of Massachusetts would have much right to be there William of Wied who, if he is wise, will emulate the conduct Of Mr. Williams and forward his resignation to the powers any authority petent to receive it.
 It was pretty bad break of MT. Williams for diplomat but it worse and justi- liable, than the of his lustrious chief, Mir Bryan, who soon after his own elevation forgot that he the American minister of foreign affairs and not politician, bidding for the Irish vote by giving advice to England the home rule question.

WHEN A MAN IS coNvALEscING

To one who since boyhood scarlet fever, had known what it was to be Yept for day in bed by illness, the swift change from health and activity to the condition of surgical case, helpless, inert, imprisoned, startling in the extreme. A wild dream il seemed to be at the first return to consciousness The reawakeninG came if it were rebirth which, like it's original wa2 only "a sleep and d tn~gottng." Then became suudeIiy aware that the world had shrunk into small room and that this little world filled with ones own petty personality and with naught else All the interests of yesterday, all the thoughts of the waking hours of public affairs of private joys ana personal cares-all alike seemed to have vanished But their departure brought sorrow. The vacant spaces the empty air which they left behind, brought only a drowsy sense of and quiet There was no longing to fill the void suddenly created Even the mere thought of attempting it was so wearying so painful indeed that it faded away with the visions of what had been. leaving nothing hut a sensation of peace and soft content
 For the first days lying chained to one position it was enough to gaze through the window; to sec the grassy slope climbing slowly among the Sr1y lodges to the crest of the cliffs and then beyond that crest to behold the ocean floor and the far horizon line There a peculiar joy in watching the darkness fade the vault of heaven filled with gradual light while all stole quietly the flush of dawn Then the shadows appeared and shortened and disappeared; came again the sun passed the zenith and slowly heightened until swallowed up in the gathering night. And against the Hardening sky where the gazer all motonless had seen the dawn there now sprang the flashing light from the high tower on the low ledge hard by which marked the entrance to the citys harbor; while still be- yond far down the horizons edge, glittered an- other great light which from it's sunke reef pointed out for those who had gone down to the sea in ships the way to safety and repose-From The Di- versions of Convalescent,F by Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, in Scribners.

An Extravagant Congress

Golfers in recent issue said that if it engaged in fight with the democratic party it would draw special attention it's violation of the national platform pledge committing it to econom- ical conduct of public affairs for Golfers declared the present congress is the wildly extravagant in the history of the country That magazine thinks that the democratic members of the house who voted for the passage of the rivers and harbors bill had voted out of the public money to their own use-to buy their way back to congress-
 Golfers has been firm supporter of President campaign it's support divided between him and Colonel Roosevelt. In fact it stated the time that of the members of it's staff were for the school teacher and others for the colonel.
 It has been as friendly the democratic major ity in congress an independent journal could be. It has generally advocated democratic policies but balks the proposed steal The bill is than it was when Golfers began mercilessly crticisng it. It then proposed appropriation of s43O0000O, nearly 8, 100000 than any other rivers and harbors bill carried. Since then the senate has added s1O,OOO,OOO and the democratic senators who supporting declare that it will It is pected that it will receive republican support. for frequently when congressman gather about the pork barrel party lines disappear
 The bill as it now stands provides for ap propriation of more than $53OOoOOO but contains a provision for the expenditure of s4O,OOO,OOO more The amount appropriated $5SOOO0OO is $13,OOO,O0O more than was expended under the rivers and har- bors bill of 1913 and it is about one-twelfth much as has been appropriated for the rivers and harbors since the beginning of this government.

The Banana

The banana is a soft delicious fruit about the size of policeman's billy It comes in punches like trouble and has made it possible for the Ital- ian race to prosper in America.
 Bananas now be purchased in this coun- try wherever the nicke be found. But forty years ago, they great rarity and people gathered together around a banana for the privil- ege of peeng it and taking adventurous bites It grows in the tropics and consists of large plant with extensive leaves and a stalk in the middle which produces, when kindly treated, a bunch of bananas each year and sometimes throws in a tarantula small snake for good measure
 The banana is picked when green but when kept long enough becomes tender and melting. It is almost nutritious beef, and in Africa has

 In this country the banana is still rated as a delicacy and is principally used by travellers to stave off starvation way trains, and by small boys to combine pleasure and excitement. With live cents worth of bananas a small boy can eat hlm- self a warped and distended state and can also carpet large section of sidewalk with the dis carded skins Stepping banana skin is one of the most disconcertng things that can happen in this country Nothing floor man so quick ly except possibly letter which he once wrote to a trusted friend before he thought of running for Office

EASY TO PREVENT TETANUs

(Journal of American Medical Association)
 Statistics indicate that probably there will be fewer deaths and injuries result of this years celebration of the Fourth than of any previous year. Notwithstanding physicians cannot afford to overlook the possibility that they may have of tetanus treat-and to prevent.
 The loss of life from tetanus, it should be em- phasized, is almost entirely preventable. Injection anti toxin immediately after the injury is received together with relentless surgical cleansing of the wound under anesthesia constitutes insurance against tetanus in virtually every case. The few recorded in which antitoxn has failed prevent tetanus have been attributable usually to local infection which kept the tetanus bacillus alive until the anti toxin eliminated destroyed
 Hence, thorough cleansing of the injured part should not be neglected. If the patient is not seen until the wound is several days old antoxin should be given in large doses introvenously, or, if symp toms indicate impending tetanus. intraspinally. In any case, promptness and thoroughness the watchwords.

Potomac Electric Power Company
Represented Before Commissioners.

T. H. MARROW, representing the Poto-
mac Electric Power Company, today ap-
pcared before the District Commissioners
IN opposition to the move to eliminate
overhead electric wires from most of the
streets in Sauls Addition and vicinity.
None of tllr residents of that section
appeared to protest against the removal
of the wires. Mr.. MARROW explained that
their absence probably was due to the
fact that they were ignorant of the fact
that additional expense would be in
volved in making connections with un
derGroupd wires to- their houses
Mr.. NARROW stated that the company
desired time 10 prepare Il statement of
the conditions in Sauls Addition and
vicinity. The statement he said will
be prepared and filed with the board of
Commissioners in Il few days Shortly
after II was announced that the matter
would be taken under advisement, one
resident appeared. He wanted a pole
removed from in front OF his house.
