THE DRUM AND CYMBAL RE-
FORMER

In his book entitled "True Demo
cracy" DR.. Albert Carr has this to
say: Whenever a man starts out with
drums and symbals' to stir up reform,
ii you want to save yourself and your
community from the big laugh re-
ject and denounce him. This fellow is
a sham and humbug as certainly as
he is an inferiority and knave. There
was one of those knavish inferiorities
it causes smile as he rises in my
memory-who was a reform candidate
for the legislature. He was a des-
cendant of that old New England Puri
tan stock W hose motto was duty with
out beauty which is like the doom of
the ascetic and the slave. He was
elected by that class who profess to
believe that sin can be legislated out
OF human flesh by law and penalty.
He was very quiet after his return
from the legislature, tended strictly
to. his own prosperity and eventually
Joined the party of large interests"

So the image passed from hand to

until some sailor hid 1t In his chest,
ana when he had been washed over

1t was in his chest that Thomas Gal

looked into his eyes and called upon
him to save them, as his prophet had
said he was able.
Thus, with the folk believing on the
god of his vision, the prophet prayed
also to the spirit of the deity, and the
rains came from the hills, and the rlv'
er rose, and the earth grew green.
When they had been saved and their
stomnchs were full the people went
away and left the prophet alone with
his god aud his deserted shrine,
Yet always In time of trouble and
stress they remembered the god who
had saved them and returned to his
worship, 81 that In season other proph'

Thus the image became the Image of

final victory would not be won until
DC could fill Jean Darnell's soft and
Rvaricious palms with glittering gold,
heaps of gold, gold that ran over, that
spilled In luxuriant streams over her

Yet still the earth refused food, and

they went to the prophet and called on

A PHEASANT WALK

Down in Bisbee, Ariz., they are
telling anew the story of Carlcson,
the walking Swede. and they swear
by the great horn-spoon that it is
a Swede miner who walked ali the
way from Butte, Mont, to Bisbee,
Ariz., to rustic job. He was success
full in his quest, but when he walked
up to the Copper Queen mine to go
on his shift he found he had forgotten
his candlestick. Accusing the fore
man of the mine, he remarked: AYE
orgot my candlestick, | bane go back
an - gil. him" Where is your
candlestick?" queried the mine boss.
Carleson, was already on his way, he
looked back over his shoulder and re-
Piled "He bane in Butte" Three
months later. he walked into Bisbee
again with his candlestick and went
to work in the mine.

THE "JITNEY" MYSTERY

The elusive ''jitney bus" idea seems
to have been traced to Its lair at last.
Ever since this convenient transpor-
tation device has swept across the
country, curious minded folk have
been trying to discover the meaning
and origin of the phrase. 1t has
dawned on the slowly comprehending
east that 'jitney" is a slang word used
for nickel, supposed to have been in
vogue somewhere or other before it
won universal recognition by being
coupled with the ultra-modern auto
bus. But where the term came from
has remained a mystery. Now comes a
retired cavalry officer with a magni-
icient name of George Washington
Lee, and in letter to the New York
Sun sails attention to this little Jingle,
which has long been common. he
says, among the Notwithstanding
negroes of Louisiana:
Motions jetnee danz Ii trou.
TT parcouronS sur la rue.
Motions jetnee-si non vous
PromeneZ au MI
For the benefit of those who can't
figure out the dialect French, it might
be translated as follows:
Put nickel in the slot
For a ride along the street
Put nickel inf not,
March along in your bare feet.
"Jetnee," pronounced jet-nay,' is
then the original form of the word
"'jitney." and the only new thing there
is about the jitney bus is the use of
electricity instead of mule power. It's
as distinctly Southern as sweet pota-
toes, molasses and mint juleps.

Frohman's Last Words.
New York SUM-


The flight of years will not eff
face the stain made upon ma
tons reputation by the slaugh-
ter of the innocents, but it will
end the agony of grief and will
leave only sad memories. Among
them will be some which men
and women will cherish be-
cause of their association with
the disclosure of the better traits
of humanity. Death is a pitiless
destroyer of shams. In the pres
ence of the last of terrors man
cannot be a poseur; he must
stand forth revealed in his COM
pletest truth. Naked came |
into the world; naked 90 out of
1t, was spoken of the body, but
it may equally be said of the soul.
Some who persisted near Old
Head of Kinsale did brave and
generous deeds. One whose bodi-
ly weaknesses made brave deeds
impossible spoke great words.
We do not know what Charles
Frohman's faith was, but the
words which he spoke to Rita
Jolivet might have fallen from
the lips of Epictetus or Marcus
Aurelius: why fear death? 1t is
the most beautiful adventure in
life" Mr.. Frohman was known
as a reserved man, a shy man;
but in the preesnce of death his
spirit refused to be masked, and
in its hour of flight its true great
ness was discovered.
