WORLD UNDER THE WHITE TOP.
(Sioux City Journal.)

(SiOuX City JOurnal.)
Now, under the white tops it's a
very different world British arms
may force "an ever deepening. salient
into the German lines" senators may
storm and rage and throw seventeen
different kinds Of fits over the futliity
of large navies, drys may resolve to
make Of this little old world "Sa-
hara symphony" but these things are
inconsequential so far as the crowd
under the white tops is concerned.
The great canvas walls which trem-
BILE with the movement of even the
slightest winds are impregnable when
the task Of shutting out the cares of
the world are concerned.
Dynasties may fall. The fact of their
falling is not at all important on cir
Gus day. If hurting clown fell
while attempting flight from a
springboard across the broad backs
Of Jumbo and his fellows from "ele-
plant row." that fact would be of ut
most Importance, thing to treasure
in memory until the arrival of another
circus day. Kings and kaisers may be
shot from horses during reviews of
their troops, but if one of the palfrey
riding queens of the sawdust rings
sprained an ankle in her daring leaps
through the hoops, the loss of one or
two of the worlds overlords may be
easily foreshadowed.
AS a cureall for world nightmares
the circus is the thing.
In the company of the clowns, wild
animals, wild men and the worlds
latest fat girl" the little blue devils
are sent packing. Joy in living march
es with the circus Gloom is shout
dered out when you take your chair
and await the coming of the band and
the troop Of gaudily dressed perform
ers. The office, small Anglers, great
wraths are forgotten when the clowns
start their baseball burlesque game.
True, you may have seen it all a hun
dred times, but it's circus day, the
crowd. is roaring approval about you,
children are shrieking their joy and
the contagion Of crowds has you in it's
grip. Failure may be waiting around
the corner. What of it? The red lem
onade purveyor is waiting right at
your elbow and he is insistent that you
shall forget cares and test concoctions
that would be deleted by the board
of pure-drink censors.
More power to the circus! 1t makes
you forget. 1t makes you remember
1t makes you forget the dark places
in the pilgrimage of life. It makes
you remember Fatty and skinny"

When the sage counsels us to list

sages,' he opens to us the secrets of
the souls increase in wisdom and
happiness. All culture begins with
listening. Growth is not through
shrewd thinking or eloquent speak
ing, but through accurate seeing and
hearing. Our world is the vast wills
pering gallery, yet only those who list
en- hear 'the still, small voice" of
truth. Putting his ear down to the
rocks, the listening geologist hears
the story Of the rocks. Standing I'M
der the stars, the listening astrono-
mer hears the music Of the spheres.
Leaving behind the din and dust of
the city, Agassiz plunged into the
forests of the Amazon, and listening
to boughs and buds and birds he
found out all their secrets.

[ don't know anything sweeter than

hewn rock on square mile or two

trees look down from the hillsides and
ask each other, as they stand on tip
toe, What are these people about %
And the small herbs at their feet look
up and whisper back, eve will go see"
So the small herbs pack themselves up
in the least possible bundles and wait
until the wind steals to them at night
and whispers, Come with me-" Then

HOME INTERESTS.
GAINESVILLE Gazette !


Some people, who feel they can't af-
ford both, give up the home newspa-
per in order to take a paper publish
ed in some metropolitan center. The
big metropolitan sheet covers more
worldwide subjects, but it leaves one
all out of touch with his vital home
interests.
It does little good to know what
President Wilson and Kaiser William
are doing, provided you don't know
what chances to reduce the cost of
living are offered by the home stores,
what kind of government the home
politicians are giving, how the local
schools are caring for your children,
and what enterprises are being con-
Quoted by your home societies and
churches.
Life is successful and unsuccessful,
according as one makes the best use
of his own immediate surroundings.
Failure to read the home newspaper
means failure to avail oneself of the
business, educational, and improve
ment opportunities within ones own
reach. It does little good to learn
that Smith won a fortune in Wall
Street, provided one thereby lets slip
the opportunities of the home environ
ment.

Turns again home.

And after that dark!

For though from out our bourne of

DRINK VS.. DOPE.

A Chinaman editing a Chinese news
paper in San Francisco makes the fol-
lowing statement concerning whisky
versus against opium: whisky rails
es the passions which transform a man
into a beast, and he goes home to kick
his wife; opium changes a man to a
living corpse, and when he goes home
his wife kicks him.
