Hard Luck

Little Willie's pulling weeds,
and his gentle bosom bleeds, for
the fish are fairly thick way down
yonder in the creek. So he thinks
his fate is hard as he sweats
around the yard, and his eye with
moisture blurs while he pulls the
cockleburs. Gentle Willie, slay
the weeds, ere the blamed things
go to seeds; while the other fel-
lows fish, let your sickle go swish
swish; pull them, hack them with
your knife-for that sort of thing
is Life. All of US who earn our
hay thus are toiling, day by day;
doing things that break our
hearts, in the workshops or the
marts, at the loom or at the plow,
earning bread with streaming
brow. All of US profoundly wish
we might quit our work and fish;
but in vain we long and yearn,
for the call of Life is stern; we
must to the burden bend. we must
strive until the end. What's the
answer, Willie asks. Let's pre-
tend we like our tasks. Let US to
our comrades say, "You go fish
ing-we will stay pulling these
delightful weeds! That's the fun
my system needsT Let US make
our work a joy; that's the an
swer, Willie boy.

PERMANENT EXPOSITION HERE
Opportunity Now Before the Pan
American Representatives.


/ wonder how many of the delegates
to the pan-American conference now
in session in this city have thought
how 1t would look to have each coun-
try of South and Central America rep
resented at Washington by a perma-
nent exhibition building Of its own,
each in a beautiful reservation pro-
vided by our government adjoining our
Capital city.
No one can doubt that in this way
we could draw the Americas together
as never before, and form such close
bonds, social and commercial (not po-
litical, necessarily as forever to ce-
ment our friendly intercourse and in
ternationai commerce. In those mag
nificent buildings, erected, equipped
and maintained under competent
management by each country for
the benefit Of It's own and international
trade, the structures to be built for
all time. furnished in native woods and
desi igned by eminent architects of their
own. would be gathered all the infor-
nation that scientific. commercial. edu-
cational or financial fnvestigat tion
would require, clear away our present
great ignorance concerning those won-
aerful countries and stimulate our
trade with each other as in no other
country and it's trade would, be meal
culable: the scenic effect upon our Ma
tional Capital something wonderful
| and the moral effect good all around.
How inviting to visitors to learn of
Bolivian Park, Columbian Park the
Brazilian, Argentine. Chilean and Pc
ruvian gardens. etc, and the prospect
of seeing the wonders OF the southern
world at Washington without the dis
comforts OF a long voyage, These
countries are our neighbors. and the
past and coming events across the
ocean will tend to bring US all closer
together: they need our capital and
many things we produce, and we need
their rich store of natural products
and their full understanding of our un-
| selfish friendship that would como from
knowing US better in this way.
South American Representatives to
this conference have expressed their
| a approval of the general idea. but think
the suggestion should originate with
| our side, while promising to do their
part If we will take the initiative. Can
this matter not be broached at the
meeting this week by one of our North
American representatives? The oppor-
tunity Is here and awaits the man
VINO is he? LINDSAY S. PERKINS.
