From tho Hymn Of EmpedocIes.

Is 1t so small a thing
To have enjoyed the sun.
To have lived light in the spring,
To have loved. to have thought to have
Done;
have dvanced true friends, and beat
down battling foes;
hat we must feign a bliss
OF doubtful future date.
m while we dream on this
Lose all our present state.
And reiegate to worlds yet distant our re-
poser
Not much. 1 know, you prize
What pleasures may be had,
Who look on life with eyes
Estranged. like mine. and sad;
And yet the village churl feels the truth
more than you:
Who's 10th to leave this life
Which to him little yields;
His hard-task'd sunburnt wife,
His often-labored fields.
The Doors with whom he talk'd. the coun-
try spots he knew.
But thou, because thou hearst
Men scott at Heaven and Fate:
Because the gods thou fear'st
Fail to make blest thy state,
Trembfest. and wilt not dare to trust he
Joys that are.
say, Fear not! life still
Leaves human effort scope.
Eut since life teens with Ill.
Nurse no ava hope,
Because thou must not dream, thou
need'st not then despair.

A Talker in Athens.
From Harper's weekly,

Socrates called himself Tho Gadny Of
the State" What made him such an in
huence was that while he stirred and
challenged other minds he was modest
and just about his own. 1t will be re-
memberea that when the oracle said he
was the wisest man. he could explain 1t
only on the ground that he knew the linn
Its of his own mind. and others did not
know even that much.
Il am one Of those who are willing to
be refuted II I say anything which is not
ktrue. and very willing to refute any one
! else who " what is not true, n quito
las ready to be refuted as to refute; for /
khold that this is the greater gain Of the
two, just as the gain is greater of being
cured Of a very. great evil than OF cur

pray that He will impose on me the Just
punishment of him who errs: and the Just
punishment is that he should be set
right"
/ Athens tired of him at length and gave
him the hemlock, Just as she tired Of hear
ling Aristides called 1.-THE Just" She was
th volatile country. but after all, she was
full Of genius. snd while she may have
punished the great at times for their
troublesomeness. she did not reward the
commonplace as so many other nations
have done and still do.

y CIVILIZED WARFARE-A IRA
ri VESTY.

From the Chicago Post.


From the Chicago Post.
Is there any greater paradox than that
expressed in the words civilized war
In the volumes of comment upon Eu-
ropes struggle this strange association
serious intent and with apparent uncon-
seriousness of it's CHASTITY irony.
What is civilized warfare?
The mortal combat of armored knights
In medieval times Is looked upon as an
evidence of semi-barbarism, but at least
1T was conducted with some regard to the
and each combatant had a fair show for
the exercise of skill and display of cour-
ags; .,u-.

%practiced by certain savage peoples who
are ar, shockingly deyoid Of refined ssnsio
much more civilized to mutilats tho liv-
ing with contact mines and exploding
bullets. The fact tina the mine may de-
stroy a shipload of non-combatants as
easily and unt~nteligently as 1t destroys
a battleshtp of the enemy, detracts in no
degree from It's great advance Upon the
barbaric methods Of earlier days.
Even IN the stone sge It was consid-
hind a man in the dark and hit him on
the head with a flint Ratchet. Behold
how our civilization has outgrown such
squeamishness! Under cover of dark
ness and the screening wave the sub
marine sinks upon its prey and leaves
its burdens Of death in the vitals Of q
dreadnought.
What Is uncivilized warfare today?
So far as we can discover, If you are a
citizen in a town that is ~beleaguered; If
you have been living in terror of ex-
ploding shells and bombs from the sky;
II all hat you hold dear Is threatened
by an invading enemy, and under the
impulse Of these "ifs." when the dreaded

warfare to treat a foreign foe as a
burglar-unless you wear a uniform-is
the height of harbarity.

The Curse of the Literal Mind.

From "Sadhana-The Realization of Life"
BY Rabindranath Tagore.
Man Is never literal in the expression OF
his IDEAS. except In matters most trivial.
Very often mans words are not a Ian
guage at all, but merely q vocal gesture
Of the dumb. They may indicate, but 90
not express his thoughts. The more vital
his thoughts the moro nave his words to
be expialned BY the context Of his life.
Those who seek to know his meaning by
the aid Of the dictionary only technically
reach the house for they are stopped by
the outside wall and find no entrance to
tho hall. This is the reason why the
teachings Of our greatest prophets give
to understand them by following their
words and not by realizing them In on
own lives. The men who arc cursed with
the gift Of the literal mind are the IN
their nets and neglect the fishing.

The Ono Division.

From the Kansas City Star.
The only division in the country now Is
the division over bad government and
good government.
There is no war to distract attention.
There is not even the traditional old
tariff issue" to hide behind.
There is just the one real issue to at
tract attention-that issue between bad
government and good government.
That Is what makes these such good
days for the people, and such bad lays
for the machines.

SKIN TROUBLE ON HANDS

Cassville, Monty hands and feet

ringworm for a number OF years. 1t
first appeared as tiny clear blisters

one large blister. The skin was rough
and cracked open. At times it was
90 bad that 1t disabled me; my hands
became so sore that I could scarcely
use them.
II used every remedy hat I could
ind but nothing seemed to do any
good. Finally I sent for a sample OF

 8.DE REPEATED

Philadelphia, June 22-Thrce ! members of the Massachusetts chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution planned to leave here to- i day on horseback oyer the same route George Washington followed when he left the Quaker City ey- ac-y l39 years ago today to take charge of the Continental army at Cambridge Washington made the trip on horseback. Brig. Gen. Philip Reader, U. s. A., retired; Edwin s. Brandon of Boston, and Henry r. Pondersou, of Springfield, Mass, were the men who are to make the trip.
 The present plan is for the lit- tlc party to make the same stops Washington did on his historic ride. At each stop patriotic and historic societies of each place will receive
 the three men, and memorial tab
 lets in honor of the Father of hls
 Country will be dedicated. Military and patriotic societies will be joined
 in hto dediactiou ceremonies by
 state militia organizations and town and city officials.
 Tie party plans to arrive in
 Cambridge on July ?, the 139th an- utversary of the date on which Washington reached that city. A Dt" celebration has been planned
 for that date when state officials and officials of Boston and Cam bridge will join. The Boston chapter os the sons of the Revolution plan to take 8 prominent part in the big Cambridge celebration which will be held under the historic "Old Elm Tree" there.

CRUEL, OR sHREWDa

IL was from the first only a question of time when England would cease 10 tolerate the y.o- lenco and open defiance of law
 with which the misguided w.la Iwomon' have sought to advance the cause of equal suffrage That time seems to be close at hauu if it has not already arrived.
 There is deep significance ta | the changed manner in which
 their recent renewal O. activities is being received. It is re4u.- ing all the force and authority e- Jhe police to prevent them from being mobbed at their mea.tu-s. Some of the most influential men l ju England, including c.ergyuou high in the established olur.. have deliberately declared ra.u- selves in the newspapers ia favor I0t not releasing these offenders from prison on account of hunger strikes, but of permitting them .u starye themselves to death II that Iig their purpose. Evidently John Bull hls about reached the limit 1 Q, his patience.
 A plan is being discussed to oa- 1 act legislation whereby jat.ers will l be relieved of all blame iu case women prisoners, with plenty O. food offered them, starve taem- |s-lyes to death. The conservative Englishman insists upon order and !. system, and it is argued that vii. such legal provision made he will
 be able to contemplate unmoyal .be death of women criminals
 when it is by their own choice.
 All this sounds eNceclu-.. cruel. But it may prove l.ss cruel than it seems. Every wtl.-
 tant sutfragise who has gone on
 a hunger strike has done SD with the knowledge that almost cor-aia-
 y it would win freedom for her land it always has. And rnar. hts ever remained to her the oho..a of accepting food u case such a~
 outcome seemed impossible. Ia no case has au imprisoned 5u.."- gist uearcd death in lua-..
