TODAY,s BIT OF VERSE

JUST sFHftE-
Say folks, I've learned thing or two
In these past forty years;
I'm going 70 pass it on 10 you
May gave se. bitter tears
I've travelled up and down the lanes
That lead out different ways.
I've had my aches. my breaks and pains,
My "off" and lucky days
I've seen the deal almost go through
And had the money spent,
: I'VE raYed and sworn as most men 90
To get badly bent.
I'VE thought at times, "Oh. what's the use.
The hand of fate rs sure
I've felt the stings OF long abuse
And know the word endure.
SAY folks, know just how you feel
When all your plans go wrong;
The punch at times has made me reel
And almost missed the gong.
But listen, folks, to-what say;
Your life and mines the same,
If youth do your part every day
Wen win, though hard the game.
Now follow me: It's just like this
It's free and without guile;
II moves the world and cannot miss,
It's this, just keep your smile.

DOCToRING THE RAILWAYS.

Howard Elliott president of the New York
New Haven and Hartford Railway company, In
an address delivered at Washington before the
Chamber Of Commerce Of the United States OF
America, stated a fact that is ignored by agi
tators for a move to drive the railroads OF the
country into a corner when he said that the
transportation systems do not belong to few
rich men or bankers. They are not the personal
property of the officials. The directors do not
own them-directors are the trustees and serv
ants of the stockholders There are at least l.,
100000 owners Of the securities of these
American railways 1t is fair to assume that
dependent upon these owners are four persons
and in that case this would mean 100000 peo
pie. In continuation of his expository state
ment Mr. Elliott said:

LONDON NOT AN IMTAToR.

Some years ago two stories IN each OF which
a dog was the hero engaged public attention
and attracted a wide circle of readers; one was
Olinhant s ''Bob, Son of Battle" and the other
Jack London s 1.-THE Call Of the Wild" Pro
Ifessor William Lyons Phelps in discussing the
books said that ''The Call of the Wild'' had
great gusto but was too brutal to rank as great
literature as did Oliphant's fine story of the
Scottish sheep dog. It will be Jack London .
fate to suffer thus at the hands of purely liter
ary critics, for he was brutal, he was rough and
uncouth and he wrote much that was illcon-
sidered stuff But there is real injustice in put
Iting q light estimate on London's achievement.
He won a great reading public and held it. He
uncovered a new vein of material for romance
lin the Northland Of the country; he had virile
power to describe what he and he saw a
great deal, not always with clear vision. We
sit content while literary critics call our best
writings initiative of English models; we ac-
knowledge the business Of the estimate. But if
we are to sound new note in literature it will
be prefaced by some such writing London
did and it i'll becomes us not to recognize this.
