BIRTH OF GREAT POEM

From the New York Evening Post.
 Some immortal poems are 10 years in
 the writing, like Gray's "Elegy,' but
 most patriotic lyrics are not. Randall
 hearing in his New Orleans newspaper
 sSutherners in his native Baltimore and
 writing My Maryland" Key watching
 the rockets, Julia Ward Howe riding
 through ranks of soldiers with the idea of the Battle Hymn already forming, typify not uncommon rapidity of in- spiration. A Canadian officer just re-
 turned gives the Toronto Globe the story of one war poem.
 Close to the (Yser) canal is one of the irregular patches of burial ground com mon near the front, where so early as May, 1915, there were buried British, French, Belgian and Canadian dead, be- meath their crosses. The poppies were singing when the young Helmer was laid
 away with the smile on his face that sud-
 den death had not disturbed Colonel Cosgrave says the writer deeply
 moved during the burial. He went to his
 dugout muttering to himself like man putting an idea into suitable words and in % minutes came back with the verses substantially as they were afterwards printed.
 The poem was "In Flanders Fields" and Lieut.. Col. John McCrae, killed soon after by overwork, followed his comrade to the shell-churned burial ground. Part of the poems appeal is perhaps trace ! able to the fact that it so soon became what it purported to be, an appeal from the grave. Its beauty and eloquence promise its permanence, but it's author ! would be better pleased to know how it 1 helped inspire multitudes to hold high the torch caught from falling hands.

THE HONORABLE HORSE

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
 A Japanese student in an Ohio high school recently turned in this essay on "The Horse":
 'The horse is very noble quadruped. but when he is angry he will not do so. He is ridden on the spinal cord by the bridle, and sadly the driver places his foots on the stirrup and divides his limbs across the saddle. He has long mouth, and his head is attached to the protub- erance called the neck. He has four legs. Two are in the front side and two arc afterwards. These are the weapons on which he runs and also defends himself by extending those in the rear in a paral- le. direction toward the foe. But this he does only when in yexatious mood. is also useful to take on the back a man or a woman or other cargo. He has power to run as fast as he could He has got no sleep at nighttime, but always standing awaken. Also there are horses of short sizes They do the same as the others are generally doing. There is no animal like the horse. No sooner they see their guardian or master they always cry for flooding. But it is always at the
 morning time. They have got tail. But not so long as the cow.'

represent these visits which the West End of London pays to the East End only as an impertinent intrusion of the wealthy on the less fortunate members of society. and will ask why can't the rich man be satisfied with robbing the poor man and not add insult to injury by prying into the latter's affairs. That even the silliest young woman of the aristocracy who goes stunning may cajole herself into believing that she is helping in a noble work is never con- sidered by the soap7boxer and his hear CTS. That the Upper classes" can ever be guilty of good intentions, is never admitted by the radical agitator.
 However, with this indiscriminate in- vasion of the East End by the society summers, it may safely be surmised that there has been much to offend the sensibilities of the poor. Work in the slums should be undertaken only by people who are in earnest and are will ing to take things as they find them.
 Men remember that the Salvation Army when it began its religious and philantropic work in darkest London often faced rough treatment at the hands of some of the tough characters. But unlike the society summers, they never called in the services of police men and detectives, when they went on their errands, nor did they ever show any trace of that condescension which defeats any efforts of philanthropic nature. Even the most ignorant and de- prayed of the dwellers in London's a1- leys began to realize that the new mis- sionaries came not as sightseers or in- vestigators, but as workers, and the Salvationists earned the respect and affection of the poor by the same methods of unobstrusive service which have since made their organization famous among the soldiers of thes American expeditionary force.

PrOud of Rirmingh am

T do not get to come to Birmingham very often," said Alexis Counic, cot ton broker of Eufaula, but when do I am always proud of it, as an Ala bamian, for in my opinion it is des- tined to be a great factor in the south's upb uilding. Many Eufaulians who had faith in it back in the sos are TOW cashing in on their investments in it's dirt. My home town lives on agri- culture. For years cotton was the chief crop in Barbour. county, but now diver siication is the order of the day, apd the two p's, pigs and peanuts, have set up in a most profitable business"

FOREIGN DEVILS OF 1842

At first they did not know to what
 told afterward that she was Spanish
 There was a crew of 2S, with two cap-
 tains said to be Spaniards who had red
 eyes and hair like the red-haired people
 (Englsh) The others were said to be from Manerura (Mania) The pupils of
 their eyes were like those of the Japa-
 nese and their hair black. On the Span-
 ish ship the 1S Japanese were divided
 into two parties, one at the bow and the
 other at the stern, and were made to
 work every two hours alternately both
 night and day. The rules were severe,
 the slightest negligence being punished
 by ropes. They naturally resented their
 treatment, but could not help them
 selves.
 One day in the middle of April they saw land on the starboard side At ii D. m. the foreigners ordered seven of tho Japanese into boat and directed them to go ashore They made repeated ex. cuses, since it was night and the land
 unknown; whereupon the sailors became very angry and struck them, insisting that the Japanese should enter the boat and be rowed ashore. Threatening them with sticks, the sailors cried to them to land quickly. They were very much frightened, but they escaped to the land and the boat returned to the ship. Soon they heard the sound of the anchor weighing and the ship was beyond their | sight. They called and receiving an an- | swer walked off a little way and found some people, who appeared much aston 1 shed. These people led them to two | houses near, by, where about 20 persons dresed like the Dutch were sitting out | side on kind of broad floor. They also seemed astonished and asked questions. Being unable to reply in words, the Jap- anese told by gestures of their ship wreck. The natives seemed to under- ! stand, brought some water, and asked by l gestures from what country they came. | They answered several times Nippon | in loud voices. The natives seemed to understand, nodded their heads and said 1 ''Yabbon! Yabbon.'

From "A Japanese Log of Mexico,' ed-
 ited by Stewart Culin, in Asia" mag
 azine.
 TN August (old calendar in the autumn II of the twelfth year of Tempo QS4D = Japanese crew loaded the junk Eiju- maru with salt, sugar, incense sticks and 15 bushels of rice for food. The wind blew violently at about nine that night and the waves rose so that they had to lower their sail. At Il in the morning they threw overheard some of their cargo and as the wind and waves were still more. It seemed impossible that they should be saved! But they consulted as to what course they should take, and it was decided that each member of the crew should write his opinion on a slip of paper. They considered these papers as divining lots and drew one after praying. The lot chosen directed them to cut off the mast accordingly, one sni.tohed a hatchet and made 10 strokes. The mast broke suddenly and fell into
 
 visions and finding that but three bush- els of rice remained, they agreed to limit themselves to one sho (quarD day to be cooked as gruel for the 13 people.
 They drifted for about 120 days, not knowing how many thousand miles they travelled. One day they saw a ship on the western horizon. AS it approached nearer and nearer, they concluded from her many sails that she must be black ship (general term for foreign ships at the end of the Tokugawa perioO and they gathered together in fear. The ship came close, circled around them and at last lowered two boats in which were five or six men resembling Dutchmen, with guns about the weight of 30 me. The Japanese were fearful, not knowing what violence awaited them. and unable to make themselves understood in words, prostrated themselves with joined palms The foreigners seemed to under stand that they suffered from thirst and hunger, and showed by gestures, point ing to their ship, that if they would go on board her they would give them food

Raising Pigs On Wheel.

fences are making their way into every trade, profession and occupation" said Hugh Morrow, for the other day, on coming from Redwood park, l saw alongside of the road in slump or trees a pig pen on wheels. It was something new to me in the pork in- dustry, but was glad to see that some city man was raising his meat without giving offense to his neighbors The only trouble I saw about his ingenuity was the temptation for some fellow with enterprise to come along some night and hitch a team to the wheeled piggery and move it to parts un' known"

TOO MUCH SUMMING

From the Montgomery Evening Adver-
 tiser.
 11 T seems that Queen Mary and the
 Prince of Wales have made slum. ming quite a society fad. These royal personages, with the best of in- tentions, resolved to see how the poor of the metropolis lived, with a view to to improve their conditions. As might be expected, the example of royalty was followed by the smart set'' of London with the result that the narrow streets of London's East End has of late been crowded with expensive mo- tor cars, containing the city's fash ionables, carefully escorted by officers of the law. The denizens of this sec tion of London have become somewhat resentful of these domiciliary visits by the self-appointed investigators.
 Likewise, as a matter of course, the professional agitators and trouble makers the fomenters of class war" have scented this resentment from afar and are making political capital of it. The soapbox orators of Hyde park have advised their hearers to organize slum- ming parties to tour the wealthy dis tricts and see how the lords and ladies live.
 Naturally, the agitators will repre- Psent the practice of stunning in it's most unfavorable light. Even if they are aware of the fact they would not call to the attention of their hearers the idea of social responsibility which underlies these efforts to see ''how the other half lives" and which was un- doubtedly the motive which urged the nominal rulers of England to begin that practice which has no doubt been abused by some frivolous members of the Upper classes" The preacher of the Struggle between the classes' will

The oil industry in Texas has -e~ gently been given a marked impetus by the bringing in of so many ne" wells" said W. W. Silk, who is stop ping over in Birmingham for lew days en route from New York to his home in Wichita Falls, Texas. have just received a telegram from my secretary advising me of a show ing of oil at depth of only 3l3 rect on the Blach ranch. This property IS located just 12 miles out from Albany Texas, and is owned by the members of the local firm of J. Blach & Sons. My former residence in Birmingham and my long acquaintance with the Blachs is responsible for my securing this valuable lease. I am most en- thusiastic over the flow of oil which I expect to encounter in the deeker sands of this particular well aad others adjacent to it. I will leave Monday for Texas in order to resume active supervision of the work on th's property"

A MANS PREACHER
rom the New York Sun.

From the New 1Ork sun.
 Chaplain Reynolds of the 115th Infantry is the kind of preacher, to judge from his address at Camp Stuart Sunday, that all sorts of men listen to gladly. He is described as Fighting Chaplain, but this glory of the fighting spirit he shares with many others. What he does seem to possess in an unusual measure is common sense and understanding of hu- man nature. He appears to know men as well as his Bible, preach to them without seeming to be preaching.
 A good theological politician like St. Paul is Chaplain Reynolds. one who is able to meet every other fellow on his own ground. But he wouldn't be so pop uNr with these boys, with the hearts of youths and the souls of veterans, if he hadn't shown his faith by his works. if he hadn't made himself one of them. fl he hadn't been, like St. Paul, honest and ea rnest to the core You can't fool lot of guys like the l15th with any mock religion Only a true man can get by them with this countersign.

THE DISCOVERY OF AMERICA

From the Pee-M Mele, Paris
 schoolboy in London turned this in as composition on Christopher Colum- bus:
 Columbus was a man who could make an egg stand on end without crushing it. The King of Spain sent for him and asked him:
 Gan you discover America?"
 Yes" Columbus answered, If you will give me boat He got his boat and sailed in the di- rection that he believed America was. The sailors mutinied and insisted there was no such place as America, but pres ently the pilot came to him and said: "Columbus, land is in sight. Well, it's America" Columbus said When the boat neared the shore Co., lumbus saw group of natives.
 "Is this America?" he asked them. "Yes," they replied. T suppose you are Indians?" Colum- bus ment on.
 Yes" the chief answered, and are 1 you Christopher Columbus?" 1 q ann l The Indian chief turned then to his companions and said:
 'The jig is up. We are discovered at last"

ANIPHIBIOUS A

From the Providence Journal.
 Commander Towers said the NC-3 en- countered 30-foot waves on her way to Ponta Delgada, after being compelled to descend to the surface of the ocean. This goes to show that even in the prelfmi- nary stage of seaplane development fair degree of seaworthiness is possible. The escape of the NC-3 from wind and weather such as overlook her on the thrilling "leg from Newfoundland to the Azores promises we'll for the future of these amphibious machines.
 The future Atlantic aircraft "liner" Is likely to be made as nearly proof as pos sble against sinking at sea. It is to be practical contrivance for propulsion on the surface of the water as well as through the atmosphere. At least that is the teaching of the unforgetapie nrst trip to the Azores.

Many Attend Sing
 Despite Showers

7HHE attendance at yesterdays
 U community sing in Capitol park, notwithstanding the showery weather, was unmistakable evidence that the concerts for the people and in which the people take part have strong hold on the public.
 While the crowd was not as large as it is on clear and balmy afternoons, fully one thousand persons gathered and remained to the end. About three hundred found shelter in the grand stand and the rest sat on the benches under the trees and did not seem to care in the least if they caught some of the rain drops.
 Open air entertainments are greatly enjoyed in the summer season. But 1t cannot be expected that all Sundays will be bright.
 When Birmingham has it's much needed auditorium it can be used to fine advantage for the rainy after moons. In the meantime the commu- nity enthusiasts will gladly take the chances on the weather. It will have to be a very bad day to keep all the crowd away Yesterday was surely a good test,

AWAY

By James Whitcomb Riley. I cannot say, and I will not say That he is dead-He is just away! With cheery smile and a wave of the
 hand He has wandered into an unknown land. And left us dreaming how very fair It needs must be. since he fingers there. And you-O you. who the widest yearn For the old-time step and the glad roc
 turn
 Think of him faring on, as dear In the love of There as the love of Here; And loyal still as he gave the blows Of his warrior strength to his country,s
 foes
 Mild and gentle, as he was brave When the sweetest love of his life he
 gave
 To simple things-where the violets grew Blue as the eyes they> were likened to. The touches of his hands have strayed As reverently as his lips have prayed; When the little brown thrush that harsh Was dear to him as the mocking bird: And he pitied as much as a man in pain A writhing honey-bee wet with rain Think of him still as the same, I say: He is not dead-he is just away!
