Better Feeling Already Noted.

Herr Won Jagows frankness In admitting
German responsibility for the attack on the
Sussex is in marked contrast TO the circumlocu-
ton Of former exchanges, II reads more like
the unrestralned statement OF one friend to
another The better feeling between Germany
and the United States, incident to the apparent
solution Of a serious crisis, Is already noted In
the changed attitude OF the German statesmen
This is undoubtedly due to the final recogn-
ton In Whelmstrasse Of the sincerity OF the
United States in-lts dealings with the belliger-
onts. Much OF the Misunderstanding thus re-
moved, undoubtedly has been due to a misap-
prehension as TO the sentiment OF the American
people With clearer understanding between
the two governments, smoother water for fu-
ture relations may be expected. Our status as
to the war being settled It now comes to the
question as to what, II any. share the United
States will have In the final terms on which
the peace OF Europe and the world will be es-
tablished. The day when the statesman must
take over the work OF the soldier Is coming
nearer.

Union Depot Progress in Lincoln and Omaha.
omahas aspirations for a new Union depot
ought to find an apprecable stimulus in the
promise OF new Union depot for Lincoln
which committee OF the citizens Of the Capital
City has brought back from conference with
Burlington officials in Chicago.
President Holden, after listening to the pre-
Gentation Of the Lincoln project, declared Lin
coin IL one OF the best towns on the Burlington
system, and the Burlington IL only too glad TO
cooperate and help Lincoln in every way pos
slble' He is further quoted as saying that, OF
all the cities in the United states, none Is so
adapted to suit a Union depot project as Lin
coin in the matter OF location and cost and that
bis road would work out and offer "a PROPOSE
ton for a new Union depot which no other road
entering Lincoln can refuse without deliberately
seeming TO block the path OF progress"
II need not be said that Omaha also ac-
counts itself zone OF the best towns on the Bur
lngton system" and believes II IL entitled TO
equally generous treatment with the most fa-
vored. We have been led TO believe, though
possibly as an excuse Of the other roads that II
Is the Burlington that has stood and still stands
In the way Of Union depot here. Every argu-
ment, however, which the Burlington will put MP
10 the other roads IN Lincoln must be Just as
potent for Omaha when directed at the Burlng
ton, II II should hold out or 80 far as APP
proaches, location and cost are concerned the
condition Of the roads IN omaha suffers no dis
advantage AZ compared with Lincoln
We congratulate Lincoln on Its bright out
look for new Union depot, and the more heart

THE TOWN OF HAY.
sam Walter Fos5


The town of Hay Is far away
The town OF Hay Ia far,
Between its hills Of green and gray
Its winding meadows are.
Within the quiet town OF Hay
Is many a quiet glen,
And there by many a shaded way
Arc homes Of quiet men;
And there are many hearts Away
That turn with longing night and day.
Back TO the town Of Hay.
within the good old town Of Hay
There was no pride Of birth.
And no man there pursued his way
stranger In the earth;
And none were high and none were low.
or golden hair or gray,
And each would grieve at others woe
Down In the town OF Hay,
And many world-scorned soul todaI
Mid crowded thousands far away
Weeps for the town Of Hay
A road leads from the town Of Hay
Forth 10 world Of din.
And winds and wanders far away
And many walked therein
Far In the crowds OF toll and stress
Their restless footsteps stray
Their souls have lost the quietness
or that old town OF Hay;
But IN some respite OF the fray,
In transient dreams they float away,
Back 10 the town OF Hay
Old men are IN that town Of Hay,
Amid its quiet trees,
Who dream Of strong sons far away
Upon the stormy seas,
Old mothers, when the twilight dew
The woodbine leaves have pearled.
Dream Of their boys who wander through
The wlldness Of the world;
And tears fall IN the twilight gray
And prayers go up NJ close OF day
In that old town Of Hay
A hillside In the town Of Hay
Is slanting toward the sun,
And gathered, meath It's headstones gray
Arc slecpers, one by one,
And there are tears IN distant lands
And grief too deep for tears,
And farewells waved from phantom HANDS
Across the gulf OF years;
And when they place that headstone gray,
II brushes hearts 10 far away,
From that old town Of Hay

I Orphans" as cannon traveller. is ex-
planned that the man was a great liar
and he used cant" language very
freely.
In the early part of the eighteenth
century writer's expressed surprise at
! the growing of 'undignified moods OF
expression" and blame its introduce
tlon INTO society TO the Scandinavian
settlers OF the north of England. The
real blame. however. If there can be
any set blame. belongs to the Roman
eypsies, who, in travelling from coun-
try to country. left behind them their
own expressions. which quickly be-
| came part of the language. Such
words as cove" Jockey" "pal' and
tool meaning to drive horses come
from the Romany
The word slang undoubtedly Is an
English corruption of the Scandinav-
ian word sling, and not Romany in
origin. as has sometimes been credited
In the United States the growth Of
the use of slang has been very great,
and as in other parts of the world is
constantly supplying us with new
words, with new meanings. Some
writer's have q tendency to class slang
in with the dialects. but this is not
correct. nor is it right to call slang
vulgar Some words used as slang
may be vulgar, but the majority are
not. Some of the best words in tho
English language started as slang, the
soft romantic "gloaming" being one Of
them. Cab" pony" villain"
"humbug," 'stoop" and "buffcr" were
all slang Individuals have also given
from their nicknames several words
to the English language. Boycott"
from Captain Boycott, 'peeler" from
Sir Robert Peel, and "macadamize"
from ]. L. Macadam. the inventor Of
the process Of road building.
Angliclzed words have also become
common in the English language by
the slang route "Namoose." mean
ing to go away, comes from the
Spanish vamos, meaning. ''let us GO"
Boss" is from the Dutch; 'tiffin' is
AnsliciZed East Indian, while mug
wump," that favorite campaign word,
means a great chief in native Amer
lean Indian tongue.
There is nothing new in slang, and
despite its many enemies, slang goes
merrily on, and in time conquers be-

fought against it.-Sunday Magazine.
