ON FAME

Fame, like wayward girl, will still
be coy
To those who WOO her with too
slavish knees,
But makes surrender to some
thoughtless boy,
And dotes the more upon a heart at
ease;
She is a gypsy-will not speak to
those
Who have not learned to be content
without her;
A jilt, whose ear was never whisper'd d
close,
Who thinks they scandal her who
talk about her;
A very Gipsy is she, Nilus- born,
Sister-in-law to jealous Potiphar;
Ye lovesick Bards! repay her scorn
for Scorn;
Ye artists lovelorn! madmen that ye
are!
Make your best bow to her and bid
adieu,
Then, If she likes it, she will follow
you.-John Keats.

THE CHRISTMAS TREE
BY Wing DinGcr

Down in the yard. where it landed
Last night at nine. with a thump,
Lies the old Christmas tree, waiting
To take its trip to the dump.
Three weeks it stood in the corner,
With pretty things laden down;
Now 1T lies out there discarded.
Stripped of its beautiful gown.
Three weeks 1t made people happy.
Three weeks 1t brought youngsters
joy,
Three weeks it lived in it's splendor,
Surrounded by many. toy.
But there's a lesson it gives US
Why can't we live our lives so?
Each day let's make some one happy
AS bout our duties we go.

A Story in Big Figures

About ONE HUNDRED MIL
LION DOLLARS are annually
spent in the United States on ad-
vertislng.
Think of that!
It's colossal.
ONE HUNDRED MILLION
DOLLARS to tell the people of
this country about the things
that they need for personal
adornment. for home comfort or
for entertainment and recreation,
Also for the Improvement of mu-
nicipal conditions, for the fur
therance of personal ambitions:
to realize aspirations to achieve
political power.
Indeed diversified are the uses
of advertising.
When you pick up your news
paper and you glance through
the advertising columns think of
what a tremendous factor In our
every day lives advertising really
is.
ONE HUNDRED MILLION
DOLLARS yearly for publicity.
Imagine what a barren condi-
ton thousands of newspaper
pages would present IL devoid of
advertising. Think of how vital
ly millions of people would be
effected.

Only What Austria Did.
Norwich Bulletin.)

If Austria thought it could pull
the wool over the eyes of Uncle Sam
regarding the expectation of NUM-
tions of war on an impartial basis,
it must realize by this that it was
mistaken. He hasn't displayed any
indications of being known as Mr..
Easy Mark and he doesn't intend to.
This country knows it's rights and it
has given evidence that 1T intends to
use them.
Austria may have gotten the idea
that all that was necessary to bring
to a climax the agitation which has
been underway for some months con-
corning the sale of munitions of war
to belligerents and secure a right
about face on the part of this gov
eminent was to present it's protest,
but II must understand now how
greatly it was mistaken.
The appendix to Secretary Lam
sings reply clearly sets forth that
this country is doing no different
than Germany and Austria did dur
ing the Boer war when for four years
they were engaged in supplying Eng
land with just what it is complaining
against this country for doing in the
present war They were within their
rights at that time and this coun-
try in supporting the policy of sup
plying munitions to all countries
which can take them away is right
now. Furthermore it intends to con-
tinue the course which it has adopt
ed. 1t was not the ia ult of Germany
and Austria from 1899 to 1902 that
the Beers could not take advantage
Of it's markets for such supplies and
it was not necessarily evidence to the
effect that those countries were dis
} playing sympathy for England's side.
The appendix to the note is a suf-
tcient answer to Austria's protest.

The Buy-a-Bale Movement.
From the Jacksonville Fla, Times
UniOn)

A number of papers that joined IN
the buy-a-hale cry year ago now
admit it was foolish and was injurious
to the South. They have repented
but as the Times Union a year ago
said it was foolish and that it would
.injure the South we do not go for
ward with the penitents
New converts are generally the
m ost Jealous though not SO often the
m ost discreet, and some Of these new
converts now say that the South was
injured by the buy-a-bale cry last
year, and is now being injured as
much by the insistence that the gov
fernment protect the southern people
%iE their right to sell their cotton en-
cept as that right is restrained by
the law of nations. They say the
South was whining a year ago buy
a-bale' and is now whiningly asking
the help of the government.
The wayfaring man through very
much of fool ought to see con-
siderable difference between begging
and asserting rights. Those who were
Sc active in the buy-a-bale movement
last year, so far as we know, were
rot farmers, but they were putting
the farmers of the South in the at
titude of beggars. Those who insist
that no foreign government be per-
mitted to override the law of nations
in interfering with the sale of Amer
lean products are simply demanding
their rights
They demand them of the federal
government. They have nowhere
else to go. If the South were all
independent nation it could take care
of itself but when the constitution was

Preparedness for War.
bridgeport Standard.)

General Wood is not a radical in
his views regarding a proper pre-
paredness in the matter of the army
OF this country He thinks we should
have an army large enough to hold
the fort in case of necessity till the
volunteer forces could be brought out
and equipped. There is generally in
this country a large number of good
men willing to volunteer in a just
cause that appeals to their patriotism
but it takes time to make such men,
no matter how willing, into capable
soldiers. Our experience in the
Spanish war demonstrated that, and
for an example of unpreparedness
the present position Of England FOR
the war and after a year Of fighting
she has raised two or three million
men, it is supposed but she cannot
arm them-she is not prepared! Mr..
Bryan's idea that you could raise a
million men over night may be all
right so far Us the men are con-
cerned, but they would not be worth
much more as soldiers than were
some of the volunteers in the pre-
paration camps in the Spanish war.
More and more is it needful that we
hould have soldiers for an emcr-
sency when it comes. We have men
enough but the raw material must-be
licked into shape and that takes
time.

Concerning the Word "None."
(South Norwalk SentinelD

II the metropolitan newspapers
which insist on their writer's always
using none" with singular verb
knew a little more about the English
language, they'd get help to the fact
that the word none is both singu-
lar and plural None are" was good
English long before the scholarlyn
editors of the King James translation
of the Bible wrote none of these
things move me-" and has been good
English ever since. The trouble is that
many metropolitan editors, ignorant
of the history of the language and
the older literature, humbly accept as
law the views of prim purists who
wan to iron all the life out of the
language and substitute stlrched
rules of grammatical regularity Tor
the good old idioms.
To say that none of the victims
was killed." as most big papers so
scrupulously insist on doing, not only
flies in the face of the natural, col
logual usage of the present day, but
it isn't even good Englished by lit
erary standards. Shakespeare would
never have said it.
None" is simply an old Anglo-Sax-
on word written nan" when singular
and name when plural. We write
both singular and plural in the same
none'-and good authorities
use the word generally as plural.
When they want to be more specific,
they use mot one and for the singu-
lar, as Not one of the victims was
killed."
The word ANY" which many news
papers insist on using with the same
silly restriction is likewise either
singular Or plural. He didn't believe
that any of them was hurt" is bad
English, in spite of the big papers.
Steele, Thackeray or Hawthorne
would have written that any of them
were hurt or that one of them was
hurt"
These facts may be verified from
any unabridged dictionary.
