TRENCH SONG FROM NORTH
WEST.
I'm a little prairie flower,
Growing wilder every hour.
Uncle Sam, he's got me,
I'm wild Whoop-e-e-e!"

I'm little prairie flower,
Growing wilder every hour.
Uncle Sam, he's got me,
I'm wild whoop-e-e-e!"
The st. Louis Republic is authori-
ty for the statement that the fore
going song is becoming very popular
with the recruits at Jefferson Bar
racks. 1t was taught them by a bust
ness man who visited the camp one
day, and in twenty-four hours it had
swept the camp. The Republic pre-
diets that the song will be heard in
the trenches before long.
II the st. Louis paper is correct,
the Northwest will have the honor
Of providing the trench song for the
soldiers. Just where the song
originated, The Forum has been I'M
able to learn as yet. 1t was heard
at the Duluth summer carnival two
years ago last summer, sailing under
this disguise:
I'm a little prairie flower,
Growing wilder every hour,
No one dares to cultivate me
I'm as wild as I can be.
Whoop-e-e-e!"
AS sung by the Duluth marching
club, the members Of which were
clad in fantastic costumes, it made a
tremendous hit with carnival crowds,
and become the official carnival song.
1t seems to be well known in North
Dakota, and a modest songster from
Ghe prairies may have originated 1t.
But it proves that no trench song
can be a formally patriotic one. It
must be some inconsequentiaI little
bit like "TippeEary'. Soldiers don't
wear their feelings on their sleeves,
and going over the top" singing
"The Star spangled Banner or 'sThe
Battle Hymn Of the Republic just
isn't done. It is far easier to imagine

claiming themselves little prairie
dowers" before they go get EN-.

THE FOOLISH ROSE.

Presently an elder-tree said: GLOW

''Why?" said a dozen all together,
for they were like some children who

told to do anything.
The elder said: IF you don't
they'll gobble you up
So the flowers set themselves

shaken off,
In one of the middle beds there was
beautiful rose who shook off all but
one, and she said to herself: ooh
that's a beauty, | will keep that

The elder overheard her and called:
"One caterpillar is enough to spoil
you.

the gossip that men allow themselves
touching those women who minister
night after night to the intellectual
enjoyment of the great public, touch
ing those who enchant us with song,
touching even those who address us
merely through the printed word
generosity and chiyalry seem to have
fled from the world.
Anger, it is said, generates spe-
cific poison in the blood. Gossip gen
crates an even more subtle toxin;
it leaves the physical man or woman
whole and sound and makes it's attack
directly upon the soul Of the utterer.
Even gossip concerning the great or
the conspicuous, which we. are apt to
think venial, leads directly to evil,
malice and all uncharity; it returns
to plague the inventor. We pray
that our hands be kept from picking
and stealing, but most of us stand
in far more need of a prayer for eX
emption from that baser theft, the
| filching Of character, which is the
habit of gossip whether it concern the
! neXt-door neighbor, the president il
the White House, or the woman Of
the stage.

GOSSIP.

Ordinary every day gossip which
concerns itself with the petty doings
of simple folk is apt to be relatively
harmless. With all our uncharity we
hesitate to spread abroad what will
do another real harm, nor with the
distinguished are we any the more
absolved from the obligation of char
ity. And with the characters of pub
lie men even more than with private
perSonages it is impossible to silt
truth from falsehood amid the mass
of gossip spread abroad. One public
character, for years the most con-
spicuous man in the country, had to
go to law to prove that he was not a
drunkard, and the gossips have since
been busy with his witnesses. The
man with mere two, three, or ten
millions may escape serious gossip,
but the heir to fifty or one hundred
millions is accused of every sort of
evil by those who never saw him and
have no means of proving the truth
of what they retail. President or
multimillionaire holds his good name
as dear as does the simplest we'll
ordered citizen. 1t would be hard to
prove the moral difference OF gossip
not well ascertained and not spread
for proper public purposes, concerning
the great, and vulgar scandal monger
ing as to every day folk.
Walt Whitman says that the blow
returns upon him that strikes, and
this is especially true of gossip
whether it is gossip of the ordinary
domestic variety, with which we are
all acquainted, or that concerning it
self with conspicuous persons. Cos
sip of whatever sort after a time
poisons the mind to him that utters
it. The pronoun is used advlsedly
for although tradition holds WomeI
| responsible for most of the GOSSIP
of the world, men have much of the
time been particeps criminis, for i
takes two to make gossip, so to say
the utterer and the listener. Mel
have done their share also of active
gossip, especially as to public mel
and particularly as to one class 0
women, those of the stage. Men VIII

TRUE POLITENESS.

A poor Arab going through the des-
ert met with a sparkling spring. Ac-
customed to brakish water, a draught
from this sweet we'll in the wilderness
seemed, in his simple mind, a suitable
present for the Caliph. So he filled
his leather bottle, and, after a weary
tramp, laid the gift at his sovereign's
feet. The monarch, with mag
nanimity that may put many a Chris
tian to blush, called for a cup, drank
freely, and then with smile thanked
the Arab and presented him with a
reward
The courtiers pressed eagerly
around for a draught of the wonderful
water which was regarded as worthy
such a princely acknowledgment. To
their surprise, the Caliph forbade
them to touch drop. But after the
supplemented giver had left the royal
presence, with new spring of JOY
yelling up in his heart, the monarch
explained the motive of his prohibit
ton:
During the long journey, the water
in his leather bottle had become i'm
pure and distasteful; but it was an Of
fering of love, and as such l accepted
it with pleasure. l feared, however,
that if allowed another to taste it he
would not conceal his disgust. There
fore, it was that l forbade you to par
take lest the heart of the poor man
would be wounded"
