In So Short Time.


The presence of a daughter OF Logan Fonte-
nellie at the opening of the new ,Fontenelie
hotel in Omaha will be peculiarly appropriate.
reminder OF what has been done In Omaha
within the span of SINCE lifetime. The name
Fontenelle connects the present day with that
romantic time when Nebraska was part of Louis
lana. under rule OF France. and when daring
young Frenchmen made the great adventure into
the wilderness. One OF these left his name be-
hind him. borne by a son who came to be part
of the local history of the region. IL is a daugh-
ter OF that son who will now serve as the living
link between that past which is shadowy In the
twilight OF receding days and the present which
is 30 virile and full Of teeming life.
Logan Fontenelle was man OF affairs in his
day. pushing and active in the life OF semi
barbarism OF which he was part; and the SPLEEN

Thn Government Eulogy pepartment.

IL IL unfortunate that so many complex ques-
tions OF state obscure those modest sources OF
sweetness and light out OF which spring much
OF the Joy of living. War bulletins grip atteh-
ton, but are becoming rooted to the trenches of
sameness, Similarly our duty as neutrals has
been stated so often that we have acquired par
tlsan opinions and shoot them off on the slight
est provocation. The national government Is
not responsible for this national perversty.
Yet Il cannot wholly escape the charge OF neg
lecting to use the means at hand for intoxicating
eobering thoughts and cooling reflections.
The eulogy department OF the government,
directed by congress. and which forms the Sun

is particularly suited to the needs of the hour,
1t does not concern itself with the dead of other
lands, at present too numerous TO mention, but
confines itself TO our homemade dead, particu-
larly congressman and senators. The fact that
these departed servants OF the dear people"
are held up as shining examples OF greatness in
American public life does not detract from the
fulsome charm OF the eulogies delivered by
surviving associates 1t rather lends inspira-
ton to oratory which decks the memory OF the
departed with vocal posies and puts the listener
in the sob squad.
These outpourings OF congressional affection
have a value apart from their epitaphical beauty.
They bring home knowledge hitherto lacking
of the statesmanlike qualities. the scholarly
attachments. the sagacious wisdom of the do

the great loss the country has sustained. There
is not a glimmer Of frivolous thought in the
solemn pages Of the obituary Record. The
strife OF warning nations is ignored, the flight
OF wheat is not worth a line and the psychology
OF prosperity is left to the srosser gosslps.
In these parlous times whatever makes for
SOLDERING thought and solemn hesitation should
be hailed as a national asset The eulogy de.
partment OF the government seems to FIJI the
bill It only needs an experienced circulation

The myrtle and the rose
A little while, and what comes after
No man knows.
An hour to sing. to love and linger
Then lutanist and Lutte
Shall fall on silence, song and singer
Both be mute.
Our gods from our desires we fashion,
Exalt our baffled lives.
And dream their vital bloom and passion
Still survives.
But when we're done with mirth and
weeping,
With willow and with rose,
Shall Death take life into his keep
inR7
No man knows.
What heart hath not, through twilight
places.
Sought for its dead again.
To gild with love their pallid faces
Sought in vain?
Still mounts the Dream on shining
Still broods the dull distrust
Which shall have ultimate dominion,
Dream, or dust?
A little while with grief and laughter
And then the day shall close:
The shadows gather what comes
after
No man knows!
