100 Years Ago Today

n NE HUNDRED years ago today an
English vessel, the "Bramble." nm
- der flag of truce, arrived at
Annapolis, Nd, with offers from the
British government to negotiate for
peace. As subsequent events proved;
however, many months were to pass be-
fore the war was to be ended BY the
treaty of Client. Had the offers brought
by the "Bramble" led to an immediate
cessation of hostilities the result would
have been a vast saving of life and
money. As it was, the war was to con-
tinue full year and many battles were
to be fought on land and sea. For an
other twelve months our northern from
tiers and our coasts from Maine to
Florida were to be harassed and threat
ened by the British. The battles of
Lundy's Lane, Lake Champlain, Platts-
burgh and New Orleans were vet to be
fought, and even the seat of our
national government was destined to fall
into the hands of the enemy.

Dear Miss Fairfax
I am twenty and in love with girl
but little older, and am at present
earning a salary that will support
myself only. and therefore do not
think it right for me to tell of my
expect a position which in q. few years
viii enable me to comfortably support
a wife.
There are others who are able to,
and 90 give hwer good times. which
am at present unable to do, and
therefore am in no position to show
my feelings toward her. Shall I wait
until I obtain my position and take
chance Of losing her, try and forget
her or tell her of my love? I think
that she cares for me a little. Jack.
If she cares for you as you think, it
is only fair to give her a chance to
decide. Tell her what you have told
me, but be man enough to refuse to
bind her to an engagement. I think
she will wait without one.

Statues
BY GEORGE FITCH.
Author Of "At Good Old siWash.7

a STATUE is a picture painted By
~ a sculptor with a eold-chisel.
- When a sculptor wishes to make
a portrait of man he seats the victim
on a pedestal and asks him to look
pleasant for six months while he models
him in clay. When a good negative has
been secured, the sculptor takes a two
ton block Of marble and trims it down
until it resembles the original-that is,
until it resembles the sitter as he
would look if he had fallen into a flour
bin.
Carving a statute from marble is very
difficult work. If the sculptor earelessly
cuts off an ear while absorbed in thought,
he cannot put it back. He has to throw
away that block of marble and get an
other.
Very few seulptors can afford to dc
this because the marble comes from Italy
and costs about as much per pound as
winter eggs. The great cost of marble
has kept many man out of the sculp-
ture business.
When we walk through the capitol at
Washington and gaze upon the statuary
in that noble but long-suffering building,
we cannot help wishing that the price of
marble might go much higher.
The ancient Greeks spent most of their
time carving statues from marble, and
from those which survived. we get the
idea that about yard of cheesecloth
did the entire Greek nation for clothes.
No one objects to the absence of coats
and vests on the work of the old Greek
sculptors, but when a modern sculptor

much. He's a very pretty fellow and

him. Would you advise me TO keep
it up, as I am 81 years Old2 NJ C.
You must not talk TO MIN IKE tnat

Of marriage must come from the man!

must you regard the age Of 21 as des-
perate.

This quest for human brotherhood
has been one upon which the world
for long time has dwelt. It has been
the dream of many of the philosoph-
ers and poets of the past and present
age. We have not yet attained to 1t
and 1t will probably be long ere 1t
can be brought about, but there are
several things which cannot help it on
and to a few of these things your
thought is directed. We can never
bring about condition of brother
hood by race depreciation. That is q
wonderful story which is told in Lew
Wallace's master piece, Ben Hur, y
when the two playmates, one a Jew;
the other Roman, Ben Hur and
Maseilla, meet again after long
separation. Maseilla had been to
Rome and had learned the artifice

glory and tells the Jew that his peo.

shall ever meet Maseilla again. man

power and dignity which may reside
IN Jew. The consequence of it all
is seen In the chariot race, when Ben
Hur skillfully directing his Arabian
steeds, brings his wheel under the
hub of Maseilla's chariot and thus
brings his life to an untimely end.
The lesson is plain. Don't be
ASHAMED or yourself and Of your peO-
pie. We can never build a race by
saying that we are nothing and can
not be anything. 1 have in mind a
scene in Chicago where the 9Th regi-
ment OF national guard was recruited
from what we might call largely the
lower element or stratum of Chicago
life. This regiment with it's blue
coats and brass buttons marches as
proudly as does any, showing the
psychological effect of an idea that we
can be something if we will.
The Daily News gathers it's street
urchins and newsboys from the news
boys alley and turns them into a
brass band-the old soldier shoulders
his musket, braces himself and
marches with quick step and erect
form on Declaration Day or at The
Encampment. 1t is the power of a
thought.
