The Springs
OF Inspiration
(By Leonard Hinton.)

ii.
On the way back to town I was
rather silent. | was listening to the
facts, the romantic facts which COM
prise the history of Ashland's great
est commercial asset, her mineral
water. The longer | listened the
more / became impressed with the
splendid foresight which has actuated
the development of these priceless
resources, that has conceived and ex-
eeuted the project of bringing the
wonderful waters of the springs into
the heart of the city of Ashland.
When | found myself again on the
curbing of Main street my mind was
full of queer, disjointed conjecturings
which | felt demanded my immediate
attention. | am afraid | voiced my
thanks to the courteous companion
of the drive rather absently. Another
moment found me alone, hurrying to-
ward the entrance to the City and
Chautauqua parks. And this time
| prowled about in earnest. ] begged
conversation and paper drinking cups
of everyone in sight. | drank ithia
and soda from the fountains with the
crowd, then, spurred to original re-
search, went exploring. And ] found
a grotto cut in the granite of the
hillside, from the mouth of which
stream of water ran in a channel of
Clipped rock and sank mysteriously
from sight within ten feet of the en-
trance. Armed with my trusty cup
| boldly entered-the grotto, mean,
not the water. The source of that
| found inside, a stream that gushed
from the side of the wall. A cautious
taste told the story. | had discov-
cred sulphur water. When / realized
that it was quite different from all
the other water in the park, expert
enced all the emotion of a woman
who finishes days campaign in the
bargain trenches and emerges tri-
umphant, her arms filled with seven
teen-cent embroidery, three-for-a-
dime mousetraps. and new set of
blonde hair effects. No two packages
are alike, and the though of each one
brings its own distinctive thrill of
pleasure.
But of a sudden I grew pensive.
Considering everything, one might
have expected worse. ! had taken
unto my bosom, or rather into it,
with the reckless and impartial en-
thusiasm Of youth, carbon dioxide,
lithium chloride, sodium something
or-other, and sulphur something-else,
to say nothing of few more or less
complex compounds with whom I
hardly have bowling acquaintance.
Yet, as l said, I was only pensive.
To tell the truth, my condition of
mind was in no way reflex of the
physical. My Department of the In
terror is buch better at chemistry
than I, and since the memorable oc-
casion when I outlived a combination
of vinegar, vanilla and bay rum,
which | had evolved in the hope of
creating a new cocktail, / have given
such matters little consideration.
But now there rose before the
minds eye pictures of other cities,
hailed far and wide as great water
ing places, where crowds surge from
the trains many times day to drink
from fountains of mineral water,
fountains which offer not four or
five totally different waters Of pro-
nounced medicinal value, but one
kind only, of Indifferent strength,

caught the eye and fancy of the tour
list. But here, at Ashland, a Jewel
city of hills and canyons and tum-
bling waters, nobody had said Boo
bah-black-sheep about springs, when
Southern Pacific train threw me
upon the unsuspectng community.
Why, | might have been a dyspeptic
millionaire, and walked up and down
the station platform for an hour with
agency all over my face, and the
races of whoever had to wait upon
me, and no single soul would have
led me to those revelations which
hide among the trees of Chautauqua
Park. Beyond all doubt | should
have dragged myself back into a
drawing room, and gone on, and died,
maybe in Seattle, maybe en- route.
You can never tell about those
things.
Once again felt the overpowering
desire to talk to someone. | saw a
clerk, a young clerk, looking soul
fully past me through store win
dow. | nearly burst in upon him
with my burden of thought. But
quite accidentally | caught and fol-
lowed the focus of his gaze. She
was wearing a changeable blue and
plum-colored dress, all fluffy, and
shimmery when the sun dapped on
it, | walked on. 1t is wicked to in
terrupt people at their devotions.
Anyway, | had seen an expressman
half block away. I am sure nv

paid those respects to the weather
without which no worthy conversa-

The man beside me had evidently
decided to let me live. | took up but
little room and was better to talk to

me with positive approval
"Well, I'll tell YOU" he said.
That's a question I've been asking

for a long time l couldn't figure it.
But finally found out. The plain
fact is that people here have been
so busy working at a thousand things

Most Notable Freedom Of
Press Now Apparent
in Germany
POWER OF
SUGGESTION
May Be Expected to lnfiu-
ence Public Opinions in
Ally Nations

Berlin May l6.-The most notable re-
taxation OF the censor shown since the
war began is now apparent in relation
TO peace talk" in the newspapers and in
press kilograms being sent outside of
Germany
The general tenor of the peace argu-
ments is that the people OF the belliger-
ent countries are tired Of the bloody
strife and the enormous financial drain,
and are ready to quit, if their govern
ments consent.
In Germany the declaration is con
stantly heard that 'the German govern
ment stands ready and willing to open
peace negotiations. The constant re-
iteration of this statement, it is be-
lieved, is having considerable moral ef-
feet upon the peoples of the nations at
war with Germany. 1t may eventually
weld public opinion so strongly that the
governments may be forced to listen to
the voice of the public and heed it.
There is a strong disposition in some
quarters to regard President Wilson as
the logical mediator, although this has
recently been weakened somewhat by the
refusal of the United States to heed
Germany's demand that the American
government compel England to tighten
her blockade against the German allies.
Some newspapers express the opinion
that the chance now awaits President
Wilson to become one of the great inter
national figures in history by making
representations to bring to an end the
greatest war in the history of mankind |
Expressions, especially from members of
the British government, that the allies
will fight until Germany is crushed into
the dust, are regarded here as the only |
obstacle which prevents President Wilson
from making some sort of overtures to
the belligerent governments. But in the

face of these the hope exists in the
minds of the growing party Of "paci-
fists" that the American executive will
address himself to the warning powers
in such way as to gain their attention
and that fighting may come to an end
before the end of another six months of
warfare.
There seems to be strong resentment
in some sections of the, governments OPP
posed to Germany against peaceful inter
vention on the part Of the pope. This
may be due to the fact that Germany
and Austria Hungary are closer to the
Vatican than England, France and Rus
