In recent speech ex-senator Elihu
Root: said: Americas great oppor-

for they are the earth's democracies. :"

GOD GIVE US MEN.

God give us men! A time like this demands
Strong minds great hearts, true faith and ready hands
Men whom the lust of Office does not kill;
Men whom the spoils of Office cannot buy;
Men who possess opinions and will;
Men who have honor-men who will not lie;
Men who stand before a demagogue
And damn his treacherous batteries without winking
Tall men, sun crowned who live above the fog
In public duty and in private thinking.

**HUMAN NATURES FOULEST BLOT"

My ear is panied
MY soul is sick with every days report
Of wrong and outrage, with which earth is filled.
There is no flesh in mans obdurate heart.
It does not feel for man: the natural bond
Of brotherhood is severed as the flax
That falls asunder at the touch of fire.
He finds his fellow guilty of skin
Not colored like his own: and having power
10 enforce the wrong, for such worthy cause
Dooms and devotes him as his lawful prev.
Thus man devotes his brother, and destroys:
lis human natures broadcast foulest blot.

THE MAN WHO DARES

honor the man who in the consci-
entious discharge of his duty dares to
stand alone; the world, with ignorant,
intolerant judgment, may condemn,
the countenances of relatives may be
averted, and the hearts of friends grow
be sweeter than the applause of the
world, the countenances of relatives or
the hearts of friends. Charles Sumner.

The Day of the Carver.

Carving was once serious thing. The sixteenth century carver was a professional. He had to make the joint fit the guest. The size of hi; slices was the thing. Then he had to know his guests and cut accordingly A lord, for instance. at the table. an;' pike was dished up whole. Smaller fry, and the pike came on in slices The same procedure with pig. The rank of the diners decided whether it should appear at table in gold leaf or naked, whole or sliced. With bread too, there was difference. New or three days old baked was at the dis. crction of the carver as he sized up the visitors. And as for the appOrtiOninS of the titbits according to precedence there was no end. The old time carver. in fact, was born and then made.- London Standard

THE SCARLET TANAGER.
He Wears His Gaudy Fireman's Suit
 Only In the Summer.

The country folk call the scarlet tan ager the firebird. His feathers set the woods on fire. Reversing the figure. the firebird puts out the torch of the sumac and pales the plumage of the oriole that has come to fly ''in tropic splendor through our northern sky"
 This tanager of ours is not much of Il songster. He does not have to be. All he has to do is "stand on" in the show in order to share applause with the gold tongued wood thrush and the mel low noted meadow lark. Seemingly the tanager thinks that his call is to be preferred to his song, for he calls forty times where he sings once. The tip of a tree gives him the best stage setting for his beauty. and there he pcrchci. looks the sun in the eye and chip churs by the hour His mate is q modestly garbed female. who is willing to attend to home duties while Benu Brummel gallivants abroad

READING HISTORY.
The One Way to Acquire Real knowI-
 edge of the World.

Henry James once told me that the only reading of which he never tired was history. "The least significant footnote of history" he said, 'stirs me more than the most thrilling and pas sionate fiction. Nothing that has ever happened to the world finds me indif- ferent."
 used to think that ignorance of his tory meant only lack of cultivation and loss of pleasure. Now I am sure that such ignorance impairs our judg- mcnt by impairing our understanding. by depriving us of standards, of the power to contrast and the right to esti. mate. We can know nothing of any nation unless we know its history, and We can know nothing of the history O.: any nation unless We know something of the history of all nations.
 The book of the world is full of knowledge we need to acquire, of les need to assimilate. Consider only this brief sentence of Polybius, quoted by Plutarch, "In Carthage no one is blam. ed however he may have gained his wealth." A pleasant place, no doubt. for business enterprise, q place where young men were taught how to get on and extravaganza kept pace with shrewd finance; self satisfied, self confident, money getting, money loving people, honoring success and hugging it's fancied security, while in faroff Rome Cato pronounced its doOm..-- Agnes Reppller in Atlantic Monthly.

This is the last county to take ac
ton between Chicago and st. Louis

The section between Chicago ant
Peoria will be the first of the Chicago

vide for bond issues are those in dis.
trict No between Springfield and

probably be No. in line of construc.
ton, the Dixie Highway second and
the |. V. Way will probably have to
take third place. owing to the delay
