GLAD rrDrNGs FROM THE ARCTIC

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger
When Henry M Stanley, after an ar
duous journey, reached Emin Pasha in
Equatorial Africa in 1888 he found that
this extraordinary man, though ma
rooned for years among the savages,
did not want to be rescued, for he
loved his work and his people too well.
The Grenfell mission schooner George
&. Cluett. which went to northern
Greenland a year ago to get Donald b.
Macmillan, has returned without him,
for with the indomitable temper of the
born explorer Macmillan prefers to go
on eating sea pigeons, salt horse and
whale meat and looking for Crocker
patched by the American museum, has
connected with MacMillan's party, and
they Will emerge from the frozen fast
nesses. no doubt, by way of south
Greenland and Copenhagen The lure
of the north to those who have felt it
is not less insidious than the call of
the east 10 those who discover that
there amt no buses runnin' from the
Bank to Mandalay." The heave and
thrust of the battling bows, in the du-
bious lanes Of the ice pack, is JUNCTION
to the spirit of one who
ION this life's rough sea
Loves to have his sails filled with a
lusty wind
Even till his sailyards tremble, his
mastS crack.
There is no danger to a man who knows
What life and death is"
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1916-09-13
THE oMNpREsENr oLIvE-DRAB

"Everywhere,'' says George Marvin,
describing the mobilization of the militia
on the Mexican border in the September
Worlds Work. ran the olive-drab color,
shifting, moving constantly. On the roof
garden of the st. Anthony hotel, or in the
palm Swallowed patio of the 'Menger,"
olive-drab arms from Illinois and Wiscon-
sin clasped white waists of Texas, while
the violins made the same magic that they
make on Broadway, and from every table
men jumped silently erect at midnight
when a Mexican band played the Star
Spangled Banner" The train going down
to Brownsville was full of olive-drab Jour-
neying first class to the front. Three fat
sergeants with neat dress-suit cases slept
across the aisle from me, and nearly all
the uppers and lowers gave forth reluc-
tant olve-drab legs in the morning. In
the night. restless with the heavy weather
of Texas road bed, 1 pushed up rsy
shade to watch the moonlit country Slip
ping by. At some unknown junction two
long troop trains clankety- clanked past US
over the switch frogs of branch line,
dim lights in the tourist cars showing O
wilderness of legs and heads of hunched
up, sleeping ive-drabs-somebody's sons,
and husbands, and Notwithstanding along
out of an unknown peaceful northern
state bound for some unknown hot bor-
der town. The farther south we wen.
the thicker they got. Finally, down in
the river valley they became the domi-
nant note in the great open spaces of
Texas, triumphing over mesquite, cactus
and the peaceful handiwork of man.

Things Not So Bad

Conditions never turn out to be as
good as we had anticipated when the
outlook is favorable, nor as bad as we
gloomy" said Capt. J. HI. Crawford,
banker and capitalist of Jasper, who
was at the Tutwiler yesterday. II have
noticed for many years that this was
especially true in regard to crops.
when we begin to think that the
country are assured, something usually
happens to hold down the production.
Then, as 1 believe Is the case this year,
when we think that all is lost and that
we are headed straight to business and
financial ruin, it later develops that
II am convinced that this will be the
case this year. OF course the rains and
floods, the boil weevil and other things
made the outlook appear almost hope
less in July, but the high price of cot
ton and the Investigation which is be-
ing more generally practiced, will tend
to ever up things.
while 1 do not anticipate any I'M
precedented prosperity in our section
until after the close Of the war, I am
confident that we Will be able to hold
our own and little better. After the
war, there is every reason to believe
that we will experience prosperity even
greater than that which has been felt
by other sections during the conflict"

CO-AUTHORs WHO WE'D

From the New York Telegram
Do co-authors often marry? Some years
ago appeared THE Runaway Place" a
novelette,, the scene of which was, most
of the time, Central Park, New York.
| The authors-Walter Pritchard Eaton,
dramatic critic, and Miss Elise M. I'm
derhill-were married shortly after the
publication of the book Mr.. Eaton has
fathered several books and magazine ar
ticles since.
And now the engagement of the two
authors of the American prison play,
Punishment has just been announced
They are Miss Louis Burleigh, daughter
Of Mrs Robert Fletcher Burleigh of
Cambridge. Mass, and Edward Hale
Bierstadt of this city.
Miss Burleigh Is great-grandnieee of
Ticknor, famous among Boston publish
ers in the firm Of Ticknor & Fields, and
from Radcliffe, where she specialized In
drama under Professor Baker, Miss Bur-
leigh went on the stage for two years.
leaving there to take up creative work
along. the same line. She has written
number Of plays. one of which has had
successful production in Boston.
Mr.. Bierstadt is son of the late Ed
ward Hale Bierstadt, well known as a
member of the Crolier club and as a col
lector of rare editions He Is a grand
nephew of Albert Bierstadt, one of the
best known American artists of the So
called Hudson River school, and a
nephew of Van Vechten Veeder, fed
eral judge for the First district of New
York, and Of Commodore Ten Eyck De
Witt Veeder, retired, of the United States

be more common, as in the cases of
the Williamsons, the Edgerton Castles
and others.

HOTEL LOBBIEs


Il have recently visited several
southern cities" said w. H. Ballinger,
mayor of Gadsden and prominent
business man of that place. Il notice
all the people are prosperous in most
of the southern communities. AS for
Gadsden, it is prospecting at a rapid
pace. The recent school census shows
that our population has increased 80 1-S
per cent during the past six years.
This will give us approximately $4,000
people. There is not a vacant house in
Gadsden and it Is now necessary for
some of the large corporations to
build additional dwellings, for their
employees.
I'VE have developed a spirit of pro-
gressiveness in our town and IT has
done wonders in the way of bringing
in small industries and developing the
resources of the city. Numerous small
manufacturers have come to Gadsden
in the past two years and we have
made 1T a rule to do all in our power to
help them in their business. 1t pays
and If you don't believe 1T go to At
lanta. What that city lacks In natural
resources 1t has made UP in energy and
pull together spirit"

SEPTEMBER
BY John Charles Mcneil
I have not been among the woods, ,
Nor seen the milk weeds burst their
hoods,
The downy thistle-seeds take wing.
Nor the squirrel at his garnerins.
And yet 1 know that, up to God,
The mute month holds her goldenrod.
That clump and copse, o'errun with vines.
Twinkle with clustered muscadines.
And in deserted churchyard places
Dwarf apples snile with sunburnt faeep.
know how. ere her green Is shed.
The dogwood pranks herself with red;
How the pale dawn. chilled through and
through
Comes drenched and draggled with her
dew;
How all day long the sunlight seems
AS if it lit a land Of dreams.
Till evening. with her mist and cloud,
Begins to weave her royal shroud.
II yet, as in old Homer's land,
God walks with mortals. hand in handf
Somewhere today, in this sweet weather,
Thinkest thou not they walk togethers
