Longfellow is justly popular as the
poet who. above all other poets of this
country, has expressed with varied
and finished art the simple, natural,
elemental affections and sentiments.
His literary productions are confined
almost entirely to those in poetic form.
Hyperion, a rather ford romance. and
Kavanagh. a romance of somewhat bet
Ter quality. are the two exceptions. His
well-known psalm of Life" THE
Song of Hiawatha," "Evangeline," and
many other poems have made his
name a familiar household word, and
every schoolboy is familiar with The
Village Blacksmith" 1.-The Wreck of
the Hesperus," and the Building Of
the Ship" which are the melodious
phrasing of thoughts and feelings dear
to the children even of larger growth.

Manuel L. Quezon is chairman of
a special commission of 40 members
from the Philippine legislature which
the other day presented in Washing
ton petition for the immediate indie
pendence of the islands.
The petition declared there now is
a stable government in the Philippines
managed and supported by the people
themselves, and that it can and will be
maintained If independence is granted
the islands, and urged that now Is the
opportune time for presenting claims
because of the principles for which the
United States entered the world war,
"for liberty, the government and
the indicated development of all peo-

The commission was treated very
nicely. Secretary Baker spoke for
President Wilson and said that the
president believed the time had come
to grant complete independence. The

Mr. Rushcroft was furious when he
arose at eleven o'clock on the morning
after the double murder, having slept
like a top through all of the cOmmo-
ton. He doomed all over the place,
vocal castigations falling right and
eft on the guilty and the innocent
without distinction.
Il don't see how you managed to
sleep through it, Barnes broke in.
"You must have an unusually clear
conscience, Mr. Rushcroft."
Il haven't any conscience at all. sir"
roared the star. Il had an unusually

Could It be possible that she was

agents who lurked with sinister pa
thence outside the very gates of the
place called Green Fancy?
His rambIe carried him far beyond
the spot where Rooms body was found
and where young Conley had come
upon the tethered horses. His eager
curious gaze swept the forest TO the
left of The road in search of Green
Fancy. Overcome by a rash. daring
Impulse, he climbed over the stake
and rider fence and sauntered among
the big trees which so far had oh
scured the house from view The trees
grew very thickly on the slope, and
they were unusually large. He pro-
crossed deeper into the wood At the
end of what must have been rifle
he halted. There was no sign of habi-
tation, no indication that man had
ever penetrated so far into the forest
As he was on the point of retracing
his steps toward the road his gaze
fell upon huge moss-cOvered rock
less than hundred yards away. He
stared. and gradually it began TO take
on angles and planes and recesses of
the most astounding symmetry I'm
der his widening gaze it was trans
formed into substantial object of
cubes and gables and-yes, windows.
He was looking upon the strange
home OF the even stranger Mr.. Cur
tis-Green Fancy.
Now he understood why ii was
called Green Fancy. Its surroundings
were no greener than itself; 1t seemed
to melt into the foliage. to become
part of the natural landscape. Noun
tain ivy literally enveloped it. Ex-
posed sections of the house were paint
ed green; the doors were green; the
leafy porches and their columns. the
chimney pots, the window hangings-
all We're the color of the unchanging
forest. And ii was a place of huge
dimensions, low and long and ram
bling.
Cad" he said to himself. what
manner of crank is he who would
bury himself like this? OF all the
crazy ideas | ever"
His reflections ended there. A wom-
an crossed his vision; woman stroll

tricate avenues of the wildwood.

Tissue is the doctors name for
body cells.
1t is TO our bodies what coal is TO
an engine.
Every day we burn up a certain
amount of tissue.
Therefore new tissue must be built

kettIedrum Is Old.

The Greeks and Romans danced to
the accompaniment of the tympanum
from which our modern kettledrum
has been adapted-but failed TO apply
this instrument of percussion TO war
fare. and it is not till the seventh
century that the Moors and Saraeens
of Spain introduced the drum among
European soldiery, having themselves
ACQUIRED 1t from the Hindus through
Persian traders. The ancient word
"taber'--or as the French call it

Persian word for drum being tabir.

Never Lose Hope.

Hope is something to be busy with.
It is something of which we should ac-
emulate a store. Always have plenty
of hopes, and have them so that they
will reach out and last away into the
years of the future.
There is really something mysterious
about a hope If you will cherish 1t
faithfully and keep it warm in your
heart. you will be almost sure to some
time realize it. 1t is said that we are
what we believe ourselves to be. But,
perhaps. we might better say that ne
are what our hopes are

GENERAL DICK" GOES TO RUSSIA

Brig. Gen. Wilds P. Richardson,
regular army officer, and a native
Texan, commands tile new American
expeditionary force to northern Rus
sia. General Richardson, with an out
MT OF engineers, sanitary workers and
replacement officers, has arrived in
Archangel
This officer who has been given
this high command has been known
throughout the regular army, ever
since he graduated at West Point, as
Dick" When he became a colonel of
regulars few years ago the promo
ton was recognized by the army and
ne became Colonel Dick" The pre-
sumption is that since he became a
general officer he has been advanced
once more in the popular phraseology
and has become General Dick"
No one needs any excuse for writ
ing something in praise of Brigadier
General Richardson. The presumption
is that in Russia he will direct part
OF his energies to seeing to it that
advance. and over which supplies mus
class of condition that is known.

March the First Known the World
Over as Anniversary of the
Country's Patron Saint.

The first day of March has long been
observed as a special day by the peo-
pie of Wales and is called st. Dayid's
day in honor of the good st. David.
patron saint of the Welsh. who lived
in the sixth century.
st. David was said TO have been the
son of prince of Cardiganshire.
Wales, and is accredited with the
working of many miracles, especially
among the poor of the country. II was
said that when the saint first went
into the fields to preach TO his follow
-ers the ground on which he was stand
ing began 10 rise until ii assumed a
goodly height, and henceforth was his
pulpit
For hundreds of years the Welsh
wore sprigs of leek-a plant with
broad bluish-green leaves and yellow
flower clusters-in their hats as sym
Dol of recognition of the day. This eos
tom was brought about, some say,
from the fact that in battle of the
Welsh against their old enemies. the
Saxons, st. David had ordered all
Welshmen to go into battle wearing
their native leek. not only to distin-
guish them from their enemies, but to
bring them good luck.
Other writer's argue that the badge
was worn more as fraternal sign and
because leek was grown in every Welsh
garden and was the favorite vegetable
of true WeIshman.
Writers of the last century depict
a typical Welsh garden as garden OF
onions, garlic and leek. Homely incl
dents are told of Welshmen assisting
each other in farming and eating their
leeks together, ceremony symbolic OF
hospitality and good fellowship.
