PATRIOTIC OR pusILLANIMous

The sentiment of the people has
been we'll shown in this city during
the few days that have just passed,
and those who may have imagined
that the entire south was in a state
of apathy have reached an opinion
far to the contrary. After all, it
is the shot that comes the nearest
home which not only awakens but
antagonizes; the tragedy whose
scope comes close to the heart which
quickens the pulse and augments the
flow of the rich, red, loyal blood. We
read of a tidal wave which engulfs
its thousands at some far distant
point, and we dismiss the incident
with an exclamation of regret; we
learn of some far-away country
where great numbers are dying daily
of hunger and shortly the details are
forgotten-even though we at the
time feel sympathy which is most
sincere but the ten-Word cable
gram merely limiting Of an outrage
against the men who are bravely
backing this country, the news of a
partial victory or the hint of a de-
feat of the American forces-or
those who are fighting with them
and there goes out great wave of
joy or regret-tempered as to the
character of the news received. 1t
is then the entire world, and the
world" to me means all America,
stands up and faces conditions;
places itself not where it would be
but where it actually is; and con-
siders every aspect from every an
gle. The American who does not
become ferociously interested and
magnificently enthusiastic over the
conditions which are reported each
day lacks in all the main essentials
which go to make up the real man
or the real woman. To mourn over
defeat, or prospective disaster and
at the same time to be filled with
optimism over the outlook is pre-
rogative of the American; and at
this time he is making the most of it.
And when he becomes enthusiastic it
is with an intensity born of a de-
sire to see victory light upon the
pinnacle of the highest rampant
where flaunts our flag.
And in these days it is apparent
that too much care cannot be ever
cised in speech, lest there be a
wrong construction placed upon some

A two-year-old baby girl holds the
worlds record In mental development.
The infant prodigy is Martha
Springer, twenty-six months old,
daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. John Il.
Springer of Mountain View, Cal.
The child can read like an eight.
year-old. The father says the child
has a normal mind which simply has
been developed by persistent training.
At recent meeting of college pro.
fessors and experts in pedagogy and
psychology the child for forty minutes
read, counted and told the time by
the clock and talked with the men who
were observing her. Her baby brain
did not sag and she appeared to enjoy
the long interview.
The child reads and speaks with a
vocabulary Of about two thousand
words. She is large for her age and
eats and sleeps well.
