well. Yes. | Guess So. But

There is man in this town who. II
you were to ask him IL he Is glad TO
be alive. would answer: "Well, yes,
guess SO, but" and then would follow
string OF pessimism as long as tape
line.
We sometimes wonder if this man
feels any sense Of gratitude to his
Creator or to his parents for bringing
him into the world.
And then again, we wonder why they
brought him here.
He is the father OF all pessimists He
is the original propounder of the query
as life worth living?"
The retina of his eye registers but
one color-blue. Everything looks
blue to him. Gods glorious sunshine
is as lifeless to him as a moonbeam.
The very blood in his veins must be
composed OF skinned milk.
You've seen this fellow. You've
seen him mingle with joyous crowd
when fun and frolic were at high tide,
and his presence had an effect like .un-
TO that of chemical engine at fire.
You've seen him enter a meeting
where enthusiastic souls were striving
to launch some movement of great
social and civic betterment, and the
very sight of his face, to say nothing Of
his pessimistic doubtings. has acted
like wet blanket on the spirits of
those present.
He is the identical party for whom
was framed the famous negro beatitude:
BLESSED am dem what don expect
nothin', case dey amt gwine t git
nothin'." i
We marvel and speculate as to the
depths Of misery his gloomy prognosti-
cations will ultimately lead him, and
we feel just like shaking him and say
ing: "Smile, d-n you, SMILE

THE SMART CHICKEN.

Once on q time there was q nice fam
lily of chickens living In a nice chicken
yard In a charming town, and the
chickens belonged to q dear little girl
named Milly.
Milly was very fond Of the chickens
She had given all Of them nice names
1 can't remember all the names, but
there were Flossie and Flufne and Tip
pie and Topic and many others.
One Of the others was Smoke. He
was given that name because he looked
30 much like the gray smoke that came
out of the kitchen chimney.
Smoke was really quite a pretty lit
tie chicken, and Milly gave him great
deal of petting. Perhaps that turned
his head. He became a very vain little
chicken. II Milly came out to the
chicken yard and did not notice him
he was much displeased.
So to make sure she would notice
him Smoke, when his little wings
would bear him, hoped up on the roof
Of one Of the colony houses. When
that didn't attract Milly's attention
Smoke would futter up on the fence
You'd best be careful" Mother Hen
said, for Smoke had reckless way OF
fiuttering down from his perch.
Smoke tossed his little head. He
thought he was quite able to take care
of himself.
One day Milly came out to the chick
en- yard with big pan Of yellow look
ing stuff. She set 1t down on the
ground and called the chicks to her.
Smoke must have been taking a nap
on the fence, for he hadn't noticed her
come In.
When she called: "Chick, chick, chick!
Come. chick, chick, chick!' he turned
and almost tumbled of the fence.
Then he made a dive and landed right
In the midst Of the pan OF yellow
stun.
1t was cornmeal mush, which Milly
had brought out nice and warm.
Smoke landed right In the middle OF
II, and the more he tried to get out the
more trouble he had. for IL was very
sticky.
Milly picked him out with mush In
his wings and In his feathers.
"Oh, dearl Now you'll have to have
q bathr' cried Milly.
So she took him into the house and
washed him In warm water, and
Smoke felt 30 queer and had to sit In
the basket by the fire until he was dry.
The next time Smoke will watch
where he jumps.

Memory of Signers
Should Be Honored

The erection of a memorial in
| Washington to the signers of the
| Declaration of Independence is q
proposition worthy of promotion and
execution. The memory of these men
should be preserved and their names
should be so displayed that all Ameri-
cans may read them. The signers
were select body of patriots whose
service to the country and the world
was of most distinguished kind, yet
few Americans of average education
know very much about them. 1t is gen.
orally the soldiers on whom the spot
light of history Shines
Many Of the signers, in fact a
great majority of them, were men
whose memory the average American
does not preserve. A man may know
that the Adamses, Charles Carroll,
Samuel Chase Benjamin Franklin, Ell
bridge Gerry, John Hancock, Benjamin
Harrison, Thomas Jefferson, Richard
Henry Lee, Francis Lightfoot Lee,
Philip Livingston, Robert Morris, Will
liam Peca, Robert Treat Paine, Edward
Rutledge, Roger Sherman, John With
erspoon and Oliver Wolcott were sign
ers, but what of all the others? How
many men can recall the names and
service of such gallant Americans as
Bartlett, BraXton, Clarke, Clymer,
Floyd, Gwinnett, Hall, Walton, Whip
pie, Williams, Wilson, Wythe, and all
the others?
Of the fifty-siX signers, cight-Gwin-
nett, Hewes, Livingston, Lynch, Nor
ton, Ross, Stockton and Taylor
died before the independence of the
United States was won and acknowl-
edged by England, while two of
them, Thomas Jefferson and John
Adams, lived until 1896, both of
them passing away July 4, and Charles
Carroll lived until 1882. Adams died
at the age Of ninety-one, Jefferson at
the age of eighty-three, and Car
roll at the age of ninety-six. Thomas
Lynch Of South Carolina, who, like
Edward Rutledge of the same state,
was, only twenty-seven years old when
he signed the immortal document, died
at the age of thirty, in 1910, while But
ton Gwinnett Of Georgia and John
Morton Of Pennsylvania died in 1777.
Only one other Of the signers lived to
be as old as Charles Carroll, and he
was James Smith of Pennsylvania, one
of the three Irish-born signers, who |
died in 1906 at the aga Of ninety-six.
In that brave and patriotic body of
signers were lawyers, merchants, farm
ers, physicians, soldiers, a minis
ter, surveyor, and a printer, and
two who gave their occupations as
shoemaker and sailor, Roger Sher-
man of Connecticut being the shoe
maker, and William Whipple Of the
same state the sailor. The names of
the signers should be preserved in |
stone and bronze. They should have
a temple at the capital of their
country.

GRIM GAS BATTLES FOUGHT
ksphyxiating Shells Fired in Great
Quantities by Both Sides in Strug-
giles on British Front.

Andre Tudesq, writing of the battles
on the British front, says there was
such an expenditure of asphyNiating
shells one Gay that six hours after the
last deluge of them suffocating smells
were still passed through.
Lavish expenditure of gas OH both
sides form a characteristic of the flu
rious attacks and counter-attacks
which have been delivered day and
night round these two villages. The
mask is here as precious as the
grenade or the rifle.
AS in a frightful carnival, in the
manner of Edgar Allan Poe, one could
see in the night on the slopes west of
Fresnoy entire regiments in masks,
fighting and killing each other in the
midst of black vapOrs, which were
rendered more fantastic by the light of
the moon.
The hand-to-hand struggle thus took
on most singular forms. Throwing
away their arms the cOmbatants would
fly at each other threats and try to
tear away each others masks. Few
prisoners were taken in these encOun-
tcrs. and the wounded are fewer still.
Death alone receives the lions share"

Monuments Tell of Glorious Deeds.

The story of the Revolution, and
the great deeds of the founders, can
hardly die from our memory when
from the monuments on its battlefelds
it would be possible for schoolboy to
construct an accurate and fairly de-
tailed account of the eight years
struggle, beginning with Lexington and
ending with the surrender of Corn
wallis at Yorktown.
