On the Spur
of the Moment
The Submarine.
By ROY K. MOULTON.

The Submarine.
(Contributed.)
Davy Jones sat up with start
And shifted his seaweed quid;
What kind of bloomin' thing was
that?
He inquired of Captain Kidd
That ere is submarine.
A thing without a heart
They call it Assassin o the Sea,
Cause it plays such a dirty part.
ut prowls like thief in dead O. night.
1t sDeaks through the briny deep,
And shoots torpedoes into the hull
O. merchants when a1ls asleep.
when I was afloat 1 boarded a ship
And gave 'em some chance to fight,
And didn't sneak round and punch a
hole
In a ship in the dead O. night
We'll. I'll be bowed" said Davy
Jones,
I'll have all kinds down here;
But my lamps in these briny damps,
Il makes me shed a tear.
For the pirates bolC of the Span
iSh main,
Were gents compared with them.
Who calls it WARMTH wimmin
To chase and torpedo them.
There's no place here for subma-
rineS
That slaughter when people sleep,
Who dwell down here in the deep"

MIR. Bryan says that there were
never any material differences on
questions of policy between himself
and President Wilson until the Ger
man submarine controversy arose. And
this is probably due to the fact that
the president permitted Mr.. Bryan to
conduct the affairs of the state de-
partment pretty much as he pleased
until really serious diplomatic crisis
confronted the nation.

Much of the criticism that is heap
ed on courts more properly belongs on
the shoulders of careless and 1ncom-

court pointed out that the courts must

CHARITY.

CHARITY.
If in winter you shall drive
Birds from crumbs, you shall not thrive
But If you feed them, they will fly
Up to tell it in the sky
For kindness has merry wing.
Gratitude a voice to sing
To the seraph with his pen
Writing all the deeds of men,
Every angel weeps when he
Pens a tale of villainy:
But if kindly deeds he write.
Heaven dances in delight.

On the Trail of the Bloodhound.


1t is wonderful to see the brotherly
affection that exists between Bill
Reynolds and Bob Kelly. When Bill
seen what Bob had to say about his
new job as jitney conductor down at
Grand Rapids he hustled right over
to the sanctum to tell us how hard
Bob was practicing for his part in
that Uncle Toms Cabin show. You
remember Bob was tobe one of the

interested that he followed Eliza all
over Hubbardston one night last
week until mis- wife got wise to it
and darned near busted up the show
with the wallop she gave him.

Ambition.
 CCE1Eenfed, unam bilious people are an very well in their way. They form a neaE, useful background fer great DOT traits to he painted against, and they make respectable ifVnot particularly intelligent audience for the active sp4r- ics of the age to play before. But de not, for goodness sake, let them go stalking about, as they are go fond Of doing, crying out that they are the true models for the whole species. Why, hey are deadheads, the droaes, the street crowds that lounge about gaping at these who are working.
 They never know the excitement Of expectation nor the stern delight of ac- com pEshed effort, such 6s stir the pulse Of the man ~lRe has objects, hopes and plans. To the ambitious. man life is a brilliant game-a-g ga me that calls forth all his tact and energy and nerve; a game to be won in the long run by the quick eye and the steady hand and yet having sufficient chance about it's working out to give it all the glorious zest of uncertainty.
