The New York -Zeitung, the
foremost newspaper published in the
German language in the United States,
has this comment to make on Secre-
tary of War Bakers assurance that
German citizens in this country will
not be molested or interned so long
as they obey our laws: -
"The guarantee given by Secretary
Baker naturally depends upon the
German subjects themselves, who are
living here as guests. From their
conduct, 1t must be said without re-

sionally forgotten that they were on

Tomorrow will mark the fifty-s Sec

as was he--that such another one
would probably never be seen.
Born in squalor; reared In heart
breaking poverty; suffering privations
enough to break the courage OF any
other man, the marks Of which were
stamped upon his sad face; denied all
graces Of person; the world never
dreamed that when in his cradle a
radiant angel bent and stamped upon
his baby lips the signet of immortal.

In his nakedness he went out to
meet the world. He fought his way
through the worlds obstacles which
grew more and more difficult to sur
mount until the very end. Then his
call came and not until then did the
world realize the height and depth
and strength Of the soul that had
been hidden within his ungainly form,
but which was great enough to meet
In silence every obstacle and fight Its
way to the end--and by its example,

MYSTERIOUS ORE BODY.

A news item states that "the pres
ent company has been operating about
six months and is now making a
scientific search for the lost ore body
which so suddenly and mysteriously
disappeared about the time the mines
were at the zenith of their fame"
Much humor is unconscious. No or
binary scientific search. will avail to
find ore bodies of this kind--these
that appear so vividly in the reports
Of imaginative superintendent at a
time when the stock market is sensi-
tive and disappear with the wave Of
promoters wand when the Jig Is up.
Such ore bodies remind one Of King
Arthur's city, which was built to
music, therefore never built at all, and
therefore built forever" They can
not be demolished by the blows of
fact. They are rediscovered by the
that led to their original dis
closure. Even much water can not
extinguish them; they grow. under wa
ter and assume lordlier dimensions,
until in the words of the Johnsonian
they become "potentiali-
ties of wealth beyond the fondest
dreams of avarice." Most Of us have
sought them. Lucky is he that found
the boojum and was not grieved to
find 1t only shark.

edible, you should spade it up this
spring. Instead of roses, grow cab

ToAsTs TO TWO FLAaE.

On July 4, 1908, at dinner in
Shanghai, the British consul toasted
the British flag. He said: Gentle
men, here is to the Union Jack, the
flag of flags, the flag that has floated
on every sea for thousand years,
the flag on which the sun has never
set" 1t was strong sentiment and
the Americans were just a little awed
until Mr. Eli Perkins was called to
toast the Stars and Stripes. Looking
into the proud faces of the English
men, he said
To the Stars and Stripes.
Gentlemen, here Is to the Stars and
Stripes of the new republic. When
the setting sun lights, up her golden
stars in the ice bound regions of
Alaska the rising sun salutes her on
the rock bound coast of Maine. 1t is
the flag of Liberty, never lowered to
a foe, and the only flag which has
ever whipped that flag on which the
sun never sets And may the Stars
and Stripes and the Red Cross of
Britannia never clash again in mortal
strife, but together, floating over mill
lions of the same blood, form the bull
wark of the worlds hope, and dictate
peace to the warning powers Of all
Christendom for all time to come"
