Marble Time

From the Ohio State Journal.
 Marble time is coming. From time inn
 memorial marble time has come with as
 much precision as the procession of the equinoxes Nothing retards the happy season; neither was politics. snow or cy- clones. We saw three boys enjoying a little game in the vestibule of the New First National Bank, and the rapid steps of business over the marble floor did not seem to obstruct at all. The little fellows plunked the white alleys with fervor and importance that rivaled the event within, where man was giving his note for $500O on a sixty-day loan. All the world was in that game to those chaps. Congress submarines, Verdun, baby week, city bond election, everything sub sided into insignificance compared with whether Jimmy was going to plug that chiner from taw. And come right down to brass tacks. as it will really appear when few more years are rolled up in cternity's scroll.
 Those old games of marbles. dear man. knd-don't you remember them as the most important issues of your long, active lives? Haven't pretty nearly all other things sunk out of sight. while standing aloft as the summits of life appear your knuckllng down and plugging away for commies, or perchance a chiner or a clouded alley? An, so sacred in the mem cry repooe those old games. that We sometimes think that they might be util- ised now for deciding questions of poli- ties, industrial reform and religious dis quietude. Go on, boys, play your game; you are making memory that will make life beautiful. Play it right on the floor of the big bank and let the money
 changers howl.

Charlotte and Eugenie

From the Indianapolis News.
 In recent number of the Belgian Sup rlement to London Everyman is a chap ter telling of two expresses. One of . these is now 75 and wore a crown for only two years. The other is 90, and for nearly seventeen years shared one of the most brilliant thrones of Europe. The first is Charlotte. widow of Maximilian, of Mexico The other is Eugenie, widow of Napoleon TIL, that sad,s, lonely old woman at Farnborough, England.
 Charlotte is a daughter of Leopold l., of Belgium. She became deranged soon after the execution of Maximilian, who was shot to death in Mexico. In 1868 this crazy woman arrived at the Chateau of Tervueren, Belgium, and there she will remain until her death She is still an empress. She still waits for Maximilian. whom she believes is leading his armies fighting, conquering and dispersng the rebel troops of Benito Juarez. She imag- ines that the doctors who attend her and the lackeys in her service are her min isters, high dignitaries and generals, to whom she graciously distributes honors. She knows nothing of all that has hap pened in the world for a half century. Since the 22d of August 1914, her chateau, which she has not left for thirty years, has been guarded by German soldiers and the German governor of Belgium has received orders to treat her as the sister, in-law of the Emperor Francis Joseph An Austrian flag floats above her roof.
