 Joel Chandler Harris. Doubleday,
 Page & Co.,, publishers, Garden City.
 New York
 With charming introduction" by Joel Chandler Harris, Songs of the South" collected and edited by Jennie Thornley Clarke, is presented to the literary world for approval.
 In an editors note" the clever au- thor says:
 The verse writers of the southern states have not been few in number but sheir work, published in small vol umes and small editions has not at- tracted the attention of collectors and little of 1t is preserved in libraries. So little is to be found in the anthol- ogies of Bryant. Whittier, Dana, and other American compilers, that it's con- spicuous absence first suggested to me the need for this compilation.
 One volume would not contain all the specimens of southern poetry that we wish to preserve, and I am aware of having omitted many as worthy of place here as some that are included; but l hope not to have failed in my purpose-to give representative poems of the best known authors; to preserve favorites, some of them anonymous, scattered through out-of- print books and periodicals: to place all these within easy reach of people too care less of their own poets"
 Many of the old favorites may be found, such as "The Moneyless Man" "Annabel Lee," "Carcassonne," while one of the most readable, but less often printed, is the poem by Logan F. Beck ley, entitled,

WARNING TO OFFICE SEEKERS.

Just now there is great deal of
agitation over the question of posi-
ticns under the next state admins
'tration. 1t would appear that nearly
every person in the state feels that
the state owes him position.
In the first place, the attitude of
tfese people is wrong. In the second
place, they would be better off if
they never get the position. Political
positions are, to say the most, very
unsatisfactory. Seldom do they last
more than two years, and if they do
the person holding them realizes that
sooner or later political change will
come and they will be out.
We would advise every person who
is contemplating going to Denver
witt view of securing place under
the new administration to stay away.
There will be far more people in Den
yer looking for positions than can be
accommodated. In the second place,
there are only a very few positions
that are worthy of the worry and
trouble II takes to get them. Many

One is fascinated by the perform

port like the crack of pistol, goes
through the air; again a part of the

ice, broken into small pieces, seems
from distance like a fountain of
water while the report is only a low
rumble; at other times huge masses
break away, forming large icebergs.

the heavy rumble of distant thunder.
and at rare intervals one may see a
huge mass of blue or black ice thrust
itself up from below the ford some

ing of the war
We have already stated in these col
umns that, because of the menace OF
mines and submarines, the British
battleship fleets are probably gather
ed at certain bases on the North
sea coasts of England and Scotland,
where they are thoroughly protected
by mine fields. Here they are in
touch with the scouts, protected cruis-
ers, destroyers, etc, which are patrol
ing the German coasts and the en-
trance to the Baltic, ready to flash
the news to the main fleet, should
the Germans attempt sortie.
How then, it will be asked, did it
happen that the "Audacious" was on
the northerly coast of Ireland, and
what was she doing there, so far
from the North sea blockade. The
answer is to be found in the necessity
of keeping the gunners tuned up to
their work by target practice. Target
practice must be done in the open sea
and Involves steaming over consid-
cradle distances. Obviously the sub
marine-infested waters of the North
sea, mine-strewn as they are involved
too great a risk; and hence the ad-
miralty selected for practice grounds

The fact that the "Audacious" wa
