he is the sole possessor of town.

in Hinsdale that is not the property

make a future for the town.

The origin of the passage is obscure.
Maria Edgeworth .1767-1S49,. quotes it
in one Of her stories. a%ttributing 1t to
Samuel Foote (172O-71. The British
Quarterly Review said that Foote
wrote 1t in order to test a certain lee

anything by rote on once hearing 1t.
Another account says that It was
written by an actor named James
Quinn 1898 1895, to puzzle Foote,
with whom he had a wager that Foote
could not memorize something that
Quinn would write. Foote and Quinn
both were noted actors in their day.

The Nobular Hypothesis.

The nebular hypothesis assumes that
the matter composing u sun and plan
ets once existed rs a vast gaseous neb-
ula. spiral In form. having an incon-
ceivably high temperature and slowly
revolving ON an axis passing through
its center Of gravity. As the mass
cooled by radiating heat into space q
contraction of volume with accelerated
axial rotation would ensue. in accord
c with we'll knownAdynamic princi-
pies. The centrifugal force thus rap
idly increased would cause the separa-
ton Of large masses which would. BY
mutual attraction Of their own parti-
cles. gradually a spherical form
and become planets. BY a repetition
OF this process planet after planet
would be thrown OF and the central
glowing sun would remain.

eRYANT's POETIC CAREER.
Tive Facts About His 0roa<se< Work,
"Thanatopsis."

"1hanatopsis."
Bryant was nearly twenty three
years old when 'Thanatopsis" was first
printed In the North American Review.
So much has been said about the as
founding p%recocity OF this poet and 50
many errors have accumulated around
the publication OF his masterpiece that
1t may be well to state the facts.
We know just two facts about this
work. First 1t was published when
Bryant was almost twenty -three-not
young for a poetic genius; second. that
In Its original published form in the
North American Review it Is not u re-
markable poem.
1t was in the 1921 edition Of Bryant's
poems, when the author was twenty
six or twenty-seven, that the work first
appeared in Its universally known
form. Only a few minor changes were
made after that date. This disposes Of
the generally accepted statement that
'Thanatopsis" Is q juvenile master
piece.
Bryant was. however. q p~recocious
poet, although his precoctty b not dis.
played In his greatest work. One OF
the most extraordinary facts about his
poetical r il that he actually pub.
lished verse during the administration
Of Thomas Jefferson and during the
administration Of Rutherford B. Hayes.
So long a period and 80 slender an out
put speak well for his fastidious taste.

BARRED FROM HALL OF FAME
Painters of Humorous Pictures I'm
Justly Treated, 10 the Assertion
Made by Writer.

In literature a man has every
chance, ii he can, to be as hilariously
unbridled as Mark Twain and still
take his place unchallenged on the
shelf with the greatest; on the stage
he may be as essentially a humorist
as Joseph Jefferson. and yet go down
In history with a halo around his mem.
Dry; even in the un]corporeal sphere
OF music he may be as light and hi.
zarre and impish as fancy will permit,
without in any way jeopardizing his
artistic dignity.
But let him attempt any such gala
hearted display in terms of paint and
the most staid acAdemician and the
most perfervid Futurist bang their door
with equal vigor in his face, writes
Louis Barry in the Bookman. Which
In this day, when there Is more talk
than ever before Of the development
OF q really national art, seems just a
trifle rash.
That a brilliant spirit that without
mission or message or school Graves
only the privilege of making holiday
with facts and pelting impartially with
their W gay inimitable, %irreverent
confetti every head that hobs up In
the carnival of civilization seems too
thoroughly American to be consigned
always to the lighter, more ephemeral
pictorial avenues.

Value Of Mothers Stories:

Sarah Louise Arnold says: "Life
shows us that the stories. which are
hear at the mothers knees are an es.
sent1al part Of our heritage. The child
who is deprived of this possession will
always miss the charm of literature.
the JOY of poetry, the swift magma
ton which enables us to share in that
which is foreign to our intimate ex-
perience. Except as this appreciation
is assured, in childhood, it is never
won"
Aside from the literary and artistic
value Of stories there is no greater
force than they for the preservation
Of the purity Of a child. Fill hia mind
with their rich imagery, their stirring
deeds, their ideals-set his fancy 60
ing about the mysteries of nature, let
him follow the adventures Of great
heroes, and there will be little room
left in his life for sordid or evil
things.
The best way to Danish darkness rs
to let in the light. TO tell stories to
your children is your duty and your
privilege.

TRACED TO BEN FRANKLIN
Revolutionary Sage Said to Have Been
the Pioneer In Campaigns for
Public Health.

1t has been mentioned as an inter.
esting fact that the success of cam.
paigns for public health from time
to time have been largely due to the
facility of leaders in putting their
thought into epigrams. Franklin was
a pioneer with his Public health IL
public wealth."
Disraeli coined the phrase, 1.-THE
care Of the public is the first duty of
a statesman" and Gladstone said:
I'm the health of the people lies the
strength OF the nation"
Our modern "Swat the fly" and "Bat
the rat" are briefly characteristic of
the time and probably more effective
than their more elegant predecessors.
The latest claimant to popular favor
seems to be "The health and happl.
ness. of the people are paramount to
every ISSUE" This epigram has been
done into q button to be carried in
lapels.

geant George S.. Fynmore, local re.

easily drifting into blankest verse.
"The United States marine corps is
no place for thee. We would have
sleek rounded men that sleep o. nights
and work by day. Thou appearest to
me as a glorified stringbean, or yet, a
disappointed c%lothespole weighing
30 pounds for thy six feet of length.
Also thou art runs rowing rambler
and I am aweary Of thy presence.
Out upon thee. Get thee gone"
The would-be recruit with the poetic
"monaker" refused to leave the re-
cruiting station, insisting that he de-
sired to serve his country and be fed,
but, when the alternative of serving
Monroe county for thirty days was
brought to his attention, he concluded
discretion the better part of valor,"

LEcTuRING ADAM AND EVE
Somewhat Humorous Painting In Ger.
maj Church, Work Of Artist Of
tho Middle Ages.

In the Church Of Saint Sebaldus at
Nuremberg there is a delightful mural
painting which makes n merry even
to recall 1t. The subject is the Garden
of Eden. Adam and Eve are being
lectured by an elderly man in flowing
robes with a long white beard. His
beard alone would more than supply
Adam and Eve with the covering they
lack.
In as easy attitude, with neither
haste nor anxiety, he is pointing out
to them the error of their ways. He
is as detached in manner as though he
were a professor lecturing at Leipsic
on the fourth dimension of space.
Adam is somewhat detected and re.
clines upon the ground. Eve, un.
abashed, with nothing on but the ap.
pie she is munching, is evidently in a
reckless mood. She looks like a child
of fifteen, with her hair down her
back; the defiance of her attitude is
that of a naughty little girl.
The world-old problem is under dis.
c%ussion, but with an air of good hu.
NOR and cheerfulness on the part Of
the lecturer, as though there were still
time in the world, as though hurry
were an undiscovered human attrib.
ute, as though possibly the world
would still go on even If the problem
were left unsolved, and this first leafy
parliament adjourned sine die.-New
York Telegraph.
