Reading Up.

The beginning of hostilities in Europe
sent everybody to the map. Geography
became the popular study. There was
a general desire to follow the war news,
but this could not be done without some
knowledge of the zone affected. AS a
result, it is safe to say that today there
is wider and greater familiarity with
European boundary lines and cognate
subjects than ever before. The class in
geography is the largest ever.
The Presidents address to the Senate
proposing new departure in this coun-
try's world relations has sent many
reading persons to our early history.
Some are refreshing their recollections-
rc-reading pamphlets and state papers.
Others are making acquaintance fer the
first time with records of great interest
and importance-taking account of the
course laid by the fathers, and why.
They had long heard that those old
gentlemen were pretty wise in their way
and generation, and now they are re-
CALLING themselves with details. 1t is
good occupation, and full of reward.
Since that time there has been great
growth all around. America, then SO
small, is now very large. Europe has
been wonderfully changed. Some old
powers have gone back. Some new ones
have attained a giants size. The At
lantic ocean is as wide as ever, but
cable lying on the bottom brings Euro
pean affairs to our attention in the fash
of few minutes, while swift ships pro-
PEELED by steam negotiate the distance
speedily.
Have these changes reduced in value
the advice Of the fathers about shiny
ing on our own side7 Can we afford
to disregard their injunctions on that
point, and form closer connections with
transatlantic powers not kin to US in
governmental form or purposes Or are
those injunctions as sound today as
when first uttered, and worthy of con-
tinued obediencea
The young man made curious ON this
and other matters brought forward by
the Presidents speech and the chal
lenge of it, and anxious to fit himself
to follow the discussion, has treat be-
fore him. The state papers of such of
the fathers as filed Office, and the per
e
ferred and remained in private life, af-
ford a rich browsing; while the Federal
list contains treasure for the lover of
politics as inestimable as the Spectator
does for the lover of keen and sweet
and polished satire.

Entrants for 1929.

Nomination day is over three years
away, and yet the politicians are already
discussing the democratic leadership for
1920. Three men are mentioned-Wood-
row Wilson, William J. Bryan and
Champ Clark.
Mr.. Wilson's name is commanding at
tention, Notwithstanding the fact
that thirty-si1 years ago the democracy
declared against q third term in the
case of Gen. Grant, then an aspirant
for third nomination to the presi-
dcncy, and again four years ago when
Theodore Roosevelt as the bull moose
nominee was seeking to violate the I'M
written law. But the Wilson;ans, con-
fdent of their man, are expecting him
to make a success of his second term,
and on the strength Of the success en-
able them to put him up again. At the
end of his second term Mr.. Wilson will
be younger man than Gen. Jackson
was at the end of his.
Mr.. Bryan is trying to shunt all other
issues in favor Of prohibition, and hopes
TO succeed by or before 1920. His OBJ
ject, as nearly everybody believes, is the
presidency. Three times unsuccessful
choice twice successful, and heard him
self widely acclaimed as largely the au-
thor Of the two triumphs. Hence the
belief that the spell Of the White House
is still upon him, and that he will try
for the prize again. He is very busy
with his new issue, and still drawing
large crowds to his meetings.
Mr.. Clark's claims are founded partly
upon admiration for a we'll equipped
public servant, and partly upon sym
patty for a man capable of seeing a
great honor wrested from his hands and
yet of bearing himself Loyalty toward
the beneficiary Of what his friends hold
was a great wrong. He supported Mr..
Wilson as energetically as Mr.. Bryan
himself, both in 1912 and last year.
During his long service in Congress, Mr..
Clark has demonstrated qualities of
leadership which in the presidency, his
friends assert, would insure an excellent
administration of national affairs.
Thus far no other names have been
mentioned. At Baltimore in 1919 Mr..
Marshall, Mr.. Underwood and1Mr. Har-
mon were balloted for. Last year In
diana voted against Mr.. Marshall; and
although Ohio gave large majority for
Wilson and Marshall the result was not
attributed to the influence of Mr.. Har-
mon Alabama, Of course, voted in the
only way possible in that latitude. ...-.

THE HOUSEHOLD.
Do We Waste Time at Tablet

About 500 years ago law was en-
acted in central Europe forbiddins
common folk to sit at table more than
Ave hours each day for dinner. Those
were good old days SO far as gusta-
toriai enjoyment is concerned and we
who have grown accustomed 10 the
light diet of modern civilization read
with establishment the menus of the
meals that our ancestors SUCCESSFULLY
ate three centuries ago. You remember
that Anne Boleyn, the most beautiful
of Henry Wits many wives. drank
ale and ate roast meats for breakfast
and SO no doubt did all the other beau
ties Of history who lived before break
fast foods, chocolate, tea and coffee
were known in Europe.
But to come down to. more modern
were in the habit Of eating. far more
than we do nowadays Washington
Irving, who gives so many charming
pictures Of the Dutch in New Neither
lands, writes no doubt authentic tales
OF their huge and hearty meals. The
modern New York business man who
lunches on q sandwich and a glass of
milk would look with consternation on
the viands set forth each day before
the burghers Of New Netherlands.
Indeed. our tendency to light eating
is a very modern thing; nothing proves
it better than comparison of the ex
peoted bill OF fare nowadays at a tea,
even Of formal sort. and that of one
witches and an ice and cakes are con-
sidered elaborate fare in the afternoon.
And then tea included more than we
would nowadays serve at an elaborate
dinner.
Even in the evening. when heavier
refreshments are in order. the COLA
tion We set forth now would have
shamed our grandmothers who would
have dubbed II sign either of poverty
or of penurfousness Holmes in Elsie

And then, to cap the climax. there was
Ice cream. OF course, this was a rural

So 1t was that presently they took note
of that which. had he had anything
special or his mind, they would not
have seen at all. 1t was "A place on the
ground where the dead leaves had been
pulled over that very morning.
Peter grinned. Mrs. Grouse must have
been scratching here this morning.

where around.
And then, because his eyes were see

was scattered, and at this time of year
no longer iocked together.
That certainly is queer" muttered
Peter. as he stared at the scratched
ground. II don't understand it at all"
Just then Peter saw the print of
foot in little damp spot where the
earth was soft He caught his breath
sharply and his eyes threatened to pop
right out of his head. You have heard
of people being pop-eyed with aston
ishment. Well. that is exactly the way
Peter looked then. That footprint was
very like the footprint of Mrs. Grouse.
only it was ever and ever SO much big
ger. 1t was SO much bigger that Peter
couldn't. Just couldn't, believe that il
was a real footprint. 1t seemed to him
that Is his eyes were not playing a
trick on him he must be dreaming.
He looked around at the trees and
leaves and other familiar things. They
| looked just as they should look. Then
| he looked at that footprint again, and
there it was. just he had seen it at
| first. unbelievably big. Up in the barn
yard of Farmer Brown he had seen the
| footprint of Browns biggest rooster,
but this was much, oh. very much big
| ger than that 1t was even bigger than
| the footprint of Honker the Goose
which he had seen in the mud on the
edge of the pond of Paddy the Beaver.
I, but it was not at all like Honkers. he

Honker has between his toes, while the
marks of these toes showed that there
was nothing between them.
| 1t wasn't the track of or Mistah Buz-
| Yard. 1t was bigger than his and II
| was different. Besides Peter was sure
| that or Mistah Buzzard hadn't yet
come up from or Virginny to spend the
| summer. So. take it altogether, Peter
was completely at a loss.
'Of course, some one made IL. II
couldn't have come there itself And

much for me. Am I awake or am
