Hail to the Goldfish!
What Is a Poodle or a Mere
Vase by Comparison?
BY Emma Bugbee

After the horse show, the dog show,
the cat show and the chicken and duck
show. comes our little friend the gold
fish, with show of his own at the
Aquarium. Who will begrudge him a
little long-deferred notoriety?
Wanting the vocal powers to call at
tenton to his charms, and wanting also
any useful accomplishments to dedicate
to our fight against the high cost of liv-
ing, his claim to our affection is singu-
larly interrupted. we must love him
for himself alone, or not at all. This is
the age of publicity, and the way to a
nations heart is not through its stom-
ach but through its ears. So, perhaps, it
is too much to expect that a silent
creature, unskilled in the art of self-ad-
vertisement, should win the same place
in our regard that we yield to the dog,
whose joyous bark welcomes us at the
opening door, or the kitten, whose con-
tented purring is one Of the most fat
terng sounds in nature.
What hidden affection turks in the
quiet heart of the goldfish we never
know. He watches US with huge, un-
blinking eyes, and his gorgeous, golden
body wiggles appreciatively as we drop
an extra crumb Of stale lady finger into
the tank; but that is about all Nature
permits him to do in the way Of giving
thanks.
Fortunately the charms Of the dispo-
sition have no place in the credit sys-
tenn of the Judges, and our tongue tied
little friend can boast his points" and
his "class" with the best of the pedi-
greed pups and long-lineaged kittens.
Silver cups and blue ribbons, long de-
ton Of well-shaped body and a stylish
fin carriage.
In these utilitarian days, however, the
public asks more of its pets than mere
beauty, or shape of the ears. 1t asks
even the parlor animals to approach in
some degree the democratic standards
that prevail among the human beings
who support them. The debutante, we
are told, is judged almost as much by
her ability to solicit advertising for a
fete program as by her golden curls and
dancing steps. The best of our cats and
dogs earned their place in the scheme of
things by keeping up our morale while
the boys were at war, and everybody
knows that the prize winning hen 10
the hen that lays the cheapest eggs.
Applying, then. the test Of service, we
can give the goldfish point or two-at
least as much as he gets for regal car
riage Of the dorsal fin-for decorative
value. How much cheaper than a Tiff
fanny vase it is to have a goldfish on
the parlor tablet And how much more
beautiful he really is, with his flashing
golden body, than the elaborate fantastic
ivory elephant with jade eyes!
But the real value Of the goldfish to
the American home lies not so much
in artistic as In economical considera-
lions. We hear a great deal about the
cost Of the upkeep these days, and It Is
this test we may satisfactorily apply to
the goldfish. For all his exquisitely
tinted body and his total inability to put
his fins to useful work, we cannot deny
that he is the cheapest Of pets. Where
one Pomeranian costs SO cents worth Of
beefsteak daily--to say nothing Of the

The Tribune, misled by recent dis
patches from Paris, yesterday re-
ferred to the French treaty as not
yet transmitted to the Senate. In
fact, the treaty was sent to the Sen
ate on July 20 last. The error, how
ever, may be regarded as a natural
one, in view of the lack of interest the
Administration has shown in the
treaty's ratification.

A Week of Verse
Michaelnas Day

prom Tho veD witness,
Written for my little sons first pa.
tronaI feast)
THROUGH heavenly anvils forge
i their swords
For your last spiritual campaign,
Though muster the seraphic lords
Against the mastering hosts profana.
And though you pass in long review
Your spear nen in their regiments,
Marking the bows as you ride through,
The disposition Of the tents
Yet (giving what the time allows
From horseman and from charioteer)
Bend down your bright and burning
brows;
To lesser matters lend an ear.
A silence IN the skies be made,
A pause before the clash Of wal,
Ere grapple armies now arrayed,
Celestial and secular
My little son-to whom I gave
Your name, angelic general
Stand close beside him, quick to savs.
To hold his spirit lest it fall.
Your sword bestow its accoisde
Upon his shoulders; may he wear
Divinely smithied mail; blade
OF righteous anger let him bear.
Among all men Of women born
May he be signed upon tho breast
With heraldry Of blazing scorn.
With honor cleaning at his crest.
With gentleness and chivalry
Be be endowed; and may he keep
Unspotted faith and chastity
Till God give His beloved sleep.
Then, Michael, bear him In your hands,
His stainless sword and shield and
plume;
And stand beside him when he stands
To plead upon the Day Of Doom.

Goldfish
From To-day,

t rom 1 O-ddyj
THEY are the angels of that watery
- world
With so much knowledge that they just
aspire
To move themselves on golden fms,
Or fill their paradise with fire
By darling suddenly from end to end.
Glowing a thousand centuries behind
In pools half-recollected of the mind,
Their large eyes stare and stare, but do
not see
Beyond those curtains of Eternity.
When twilight flows into the room
And air becomes like water, you can
Their movements growing larger in the
gloom,
And you are led
Backward to where they live beyond
the dead.
But in the morning, when the seven
rays
OF London sunlight one by one incline,
They glide to meet them, ara their
guping lips
Suck the light in; SO they are caught
and played
Like salmon on a heavenly fishing line.
Ghosts on q twilight Aoor,
Moving about behind their watery door,
Breathing and yet not breathing day
and night,
They give the house a CLEAN OF faint
delight.
