First Said Of Goldsmith.

"He touched no subject that he did
not adorn" was first said in Latin
epitaph on Oliver Goldsmith. "Nil
tetiglt quod non prnavit." The Eng
llsh version, of 1t was used in an cpl
taph on Matthew Hale Carpenter of
Wisconsin by jeremiah S. Black Of
Pennsylvania. Carpenter died in 1881
and Black, who was attorney general
of the United States from 1857 to 1861,
died In 1883. His epitaph on Carpen-
ter began as follows: "The most ac-
compllshed orator cfEhls day and gen.
Grafton. he addressed, po audience that
he did not charm, and touched no sub
ject that he did not adorn." The Latin
epltaph on Goldsmith was written by
DIR. Samuel Johnson,

Tell me, whence are you richl From
whom have you received? From your
grandfather, did you say; from your
father? Are you able TO show, ascend
ing In the order of generation, that
that possession is just throughout the
whole series of preceding generations?
Its beginning and root grew necessari-
ly out of injustice. Why? Because
God did not make this man rich and
that man poor from the beginning.
Nor, when he created the world, did
he allot much treasure to any one man
and forbid another TO seek any. He
gave the same earth to be cultivated
by all. Since, therefore, his bounty is
common. how comes it that you have
so many fields and your nelghbor not
even a clod of earth? The idea
we should have of the rich and covet-
ous--they are truly as robbers who,
standing in the public highway, de-
spoil the passers.-St. John Chrysos-
tom, Greek Church, 347-407.

Down toward the deep blue water,
marching to throb Of drum,
From city street and country lane
the lines Of khaki come;
The rumbling guns, the sturdy tread,
are full Of grim appeal
While rays Of western sunshine fash
back from FURNISHED steel;
With eager eyes and cheeks afame
the serried ranks advance;
And your dear lad, and my dear lad
are on their way to France.
A sob clings choking in the throat
as file on file sweep by,
Between those cheering multitudes
to where the great ships lie;
The batteries halt the columns wheel
to clear-toned bugle call.
With shoulders squared and faces
front they stand khaki wall
Tears shine on every watchers cheek
love speaks in every glance;
For your dear lad, and my dear lad
are on their way to France.
Before them, through mist or years
in soldier buff or blue,
Brave comrades from a thousand
fields watch now in proud review;
The same old Flag, the same ole
Faith-the Freedom of the World
Spells Duty in those Tapping folds
above long ranks unfurled
Strong are the hearts which beal
along Democracy's advance,
AS your dear lad, and my dear lad
so on their way to France.
The word rings out: a million fee
tramp forward on the road,
Along that path of sacrifice o'e
which their fathers strobe,
With eager eyes and cheeks af1ame
with cheers on smiling lips,
These fighting men of II move on
ward to their ships.
Nor even love may hold them back
or halt that stern advance,
AS your dear lad, and my dear lad, &
on their way to France.-Randel
Parrish in the Chicago Tribune.

Survival of the Fittest.

Modern scientists do not entirely
hold with the Darwinian theory of evo-
luton; still. there is no doubt that the
Survival of the fittest" has large
modicum Of truth. for we can all see
that those who are incapable of adapt
Ing themselves TO the universal prog
ress must become more or less fossil
ICED. Every big business gives us
striking examples; men who, having
peached certain position, sit down
and get rooted In their own little way.
Then there comes new spirit into
authority. modern methods are intro
duced, all things are put in motion. the
change has come and the fossil sits
still, an obstacle in the necessary prog
ress until he Is either thrown out of
the way completely, or moved to a
side where he can do no damage.

Oyster Cheap Food.

Only the sea herring can equal the
oyster In cash value as product oc
the sea. This is partly because they
are so palatable and partly because
they are so inexpensive. A pint can
usually be purchased for 20 cents on
the coasts and nourishing stew for
several persons can be made Of pint
Of oysters. The North Atlantic ocean
produces more oysters than are to be
found in the oyster beds of all other
countries, but oyster farming is a
profitable industry in many lands. The
mid-Atlantlc coast is particularly noted
for Its oysters.

Credit for Other Fellow.

The amount of credit you allow the
other fellow to take for his efforts Is
the index for your measure. The lit
tie fellow can't stand seeing the other
man praised. If he has worked In
company with others he wants all the
glory. If there is any prominence to
be handed out he Is a perpetual candi-
date. The pigmy mind Is ever trying
to discount the other mans credit.
There is so little to him that he needs
all the glory he can get, and gets it
wherever he can. Not so with the big
man. He rejolces in the success Of
his fellows. He's glad to see others
rising to his class. In fact, the truly
big man sees bigger when he pays trib-
ute to those not so big as himself. If
you want to be in his class you must
not dwarf your worth by being afraid
you won't get all that's coming to you.

Free Speech.

Lincoln Steffens, the writer, believes
in free speech-the right to shy any
thing, any time and anywhere. And
he has organized n club to that eff
feet.
A short time ago Mr.. Steffens made
n speech advocating his theories. At
the end he invited those who would to
join his "Free Speech club" Only one
man accepted the invitation.
He said: "rd like to join your club
long enough to tell you what I think
about II"

WAR CAMP TRUTH OR FICTION.

The average newspaper man has
been so much lectured and urged that
he really doesn't dare tell the whole
truth about the various great mill
tary camps that are springing up all
over the country.
He doesn't want to be guilty OF do
ing anything to hamper the military
efforts of the country and therefore
he prints mostly the official twaddle
which the press agents Of the various
departments at Washington and their
imitators at district points supply so
abundantly.
Our great new armies of volunteers
and conscripts are doing wonderfully
we'll under the circumstances. The
amateur officers, recently trans
planted from civil life, are trying
hard. In all the camps the boys are
getting enough to eat to keep them
from starving to death and clothes
enough so they won't freeze, but it
isn't quite so rosy as the "ofiicial" re.
ports claim.
For this reason it is a good thing
to have man big enough and fear
less enough to tell the truth. Former
President Theodore Roosevelt let out
a few things in a recent address at
Camp Grant that gives some idea Of
the great task yet before the United
States. 1t is told in an associated
press dispatch as follows:
Camp Grant, Rockford, ILL.,, Sept.
26.-Preparedness and paciflsts claim
ed equal shares of Theodore Roose-
velt's attention in an address here to-
day to nearly 10000 men of the seth
Division of the National Army. He
was introduced by Maj. Gen. Thomas
II. Barry, camp commander.
The Colonel boosted that II made
him proud to be an American when
he saw how the officers and men OF
the National Army had taken hold
Of their job, adding, however:
| do not allow yourselves to be
fooled by admiration of what has
been accomplished into failure to un
derstand that we would not have haC
time to do this had it not been fol-
the armies and fleets OF France anC
Great Britain"
Asking Gen. Barry to correct hin
IL he erred, the Colonel gave detailed
statements regarding the equipmen
at Camp Grant, reports OF which haC
failed to pass the camp censorship
There were about 5000 rifles avail
able for drill purposes, he asserted
or roughly three men to drill with on
gun, adding that Camp Grant was ia
ahead of other camps in this respect
according to information he had re
ceived.
The pre-war assertion that "a mi
lion men would spring to arms be
tween sunrise and sunset" he count
cred with the claim that in leigh
months that number had sprung {
broomsticks," this statement being 4
connection with his assertion tina
men in other camps had only broor
handles to aid them in learning tn
manual of arms.

an army capable of coping with Gel
man force of $4,000 or 10000 men,

When Amethysts Turn White.

A man recently brought back to a
jewelry store three rings set with
amethysts which had faded to q pale
yellow within n few months after he
had bought them. He then discovered
that instead Of amethysts the gems
were topazes. The latter vary in color
from pale yellow 20 deep violet and
purple. Under high temperatures
amethysts change color. becoming first
yellow, then green md finally entirely
colorless. Under ordinary tempera'

"Took Cake While Passing"

A rather amusing camOuflage in
cident occurred last week In the Deer
Lake school. And it is an incident
we'll worth telling for IL has aafne
moral lesson. The pupils were very
interested in selling the Red Gross
seals. Now it so happened that the
rural mail carrier usually stops at
couple of boxes which are near the
school. Walter Pierce Jagged ten
years. knew, as did all the others,
what time the mail carrier got there.
So at that time, Walter asked to be
excused from the roOm.s He went out
and sold the mail carrier an order OF
Red Cross seals. Some class to Walt
er fora salesman!' Now what Is the
lesson to be learned from this incl
dent? Most of the failures In life
are failures because they builded
their houses on corner stones and
foudations similar to, the following:
Il just forgot" never thought. a
little short" II didn't quite have
time" and 1T can'tabe DONE Then
they whine because they never have
any opportunities 'N.WhOa made the
opportunities for Walter to land that
sale? He had a point and purpose
and he pursued it. The mail carrier
has to pass several schools on his
route; all the schools had the stamps
to sell and I am wondering II any
other pupil tried to "land" Mr.. So
lund for a customer.
