FINE WORK NOT RECOGNIZED
Literary World Was Slow to Discover
Masterpiece in Translation Of
Omar Khayyam.
@aQL09
SNRanE

The appearance in the auction room
of one Of the most remarkable col
lections Of editions of Omar Khayyam
naturally recalls the early history Of
the famous Rubaiyat, that might so
easily have missed finding it's remark
able position in the world of books.
When Fitzgerald translated the Per
sian poet, Bernard Quaritch probably
had deep regrets that he had elected
to publish it.
One may believe that it was with
no feeling Of pride as publisher that
he marked down the first edition and
left it for somebody to discover in his
"twO-penny box" where economical
book buyers hunted for bargains. If,
coming out of the ''two-penny box" it
had missed attracting the notice Of
such connOisseUrs of the written word
as Rossetti and Swinburne, the Rubai-
vat would very likely have continued
placidly on it's way to oblivion.
No other book ever started from a
"two-penny box on journey in the
world of letters that eventually in
cluded SO many of such varied edi-
tons; yet it may be questioned wheth-
err it was not the phraseolOgy of the
translator rather than the thought OF
the poet that really started 1t and
: kept it going.

Peeved Him a Trifie.

A well-known musical-comedy star
was in the Claridge grill the other

The Porcupine's Habits.

When you come suddenly upon the

draws his head back and down, puts

waddles slowly away. His shield is

Good Word for Popular Music.

Give popular music it's due. 1t has
its place-just as has the classic. Do
not look down upon it, so long as it
can help some soul away from it's
gloom. Perhaps it may do something
for you in an "Off moment'-if you
will let it. But even if it doesn't, the
mere fact that there are people whose
hearts it will Tighten, suffices to give
popular music a reason for being,
which we should not set aside merely
because it doesn't happen to be "our

DEFECTIVE CHIMNEYS
CAUSE MANY FIRES
Fire Hazard May. Be Reduced by
Taking the Following Pre-
cautions

This is the season when reports of
fires due to defective chimneys and
small blazes caused by sparks from
chimneys increase. Already the fire
reports are being cluttered with the
usual incipient fires incident to such.
One of the commonest varieties of
dwelling house fires is that traceable
to defective chimneys and the lack
of precautions in starting fires in
long disused stoves, CRATES and fur
naces. They begin with the first low
ering of the temperature and increase
as the weather grows colder.
Every home is not visited by fire
but that is not because the owner
has taken all of the proper precau-
tions to prevent it. 1t is more often
due to the fact that the conditions
are not all just right for fire to
start but the conditions may be
just right one of these times and a
fire may start when least expected
and you and your family may be
routed out of bed some night when
it is thirty below zero just because
you have not taken the precaution
necessary to guard against fire.
Every heating plant should be
carefully inspected in the fall be-
fore fire is started in the same.
Smoke flues should be examined to
see that they have not rusted through
and that the joints fit together we'll
and all chimneys should be cleaned
at this time of the year.
Other precautions to be taken with
reference to heating plants, stoves
etc., are as follows:
Place stoves, furnaces and pipes
far enough from walls and wood
work to avoid overheating.
Cover the nearest wooden surfaces
with sheet asbestos, sheet iron or
tin; if iron or tin is used, leave an
air space behind it.
Where stovepipes or heating pipes
pass through walls, enclose the pipes
in galvanized iron, double walled,
ventilated thimbles at least twelve
inches wider than the diameter of
the pipes.
Protect the floor beneath the stove
with sheet metal, and have it extend
forward at least twelve inches die
rectly beneath the door to the ash
pit.
Surround the base of the furnace
with brick, stone or concrete.
Make sure that all pipes are free
from rust, and that all points and
connections are sound and tight.
Fix a guard about the pipe in the
attic so that nothing may be stored
against it.
Never pour kerosene into coal or
wood stove, even when the fire is out
Never put ashes into wooden boxes
or barrels; have strong metal can.
Study the drafts and hampers.
Do not let the stove or pipes be-
come red-hot.
Keep stoves, furnaces, f1ues and
chimneys clean.
Inspect the chimneys and fiues to
be sure that they are sound.
Do not dry wood in an oven.
Do not hang wet clothes too near
to stove.
Keep curtains and other cloth
away from stoves and pipes. 800

corn crop would have paid better anyway.
Hence Kansas planted wheat with deep
and somewhat grouchy consciousness of
merit.
Virtue was never more glori0usly reward
ed in a best seller or fairy tale. The war
you may have heard this before-came to an
end. Food began to be abundant in this
country. 1t became clear to all and sundry
that but for the fact that the government had
promised to pay two-tWenty for that 1918
crop, it might sell for a good deal less than
that. 1t also became apparent that labor,
instead of being scarce would be more than
abundant. In a word it became quite clear
that the Kansas farmer, who thought he was
raising wheat at personal sacrlhce Tor the
good Of the nation found that he was raising
it at fat profit, and possibly at the expense
of the nation.
And even nature has been kind to the Kan
sas patriots. That vast crop, filling every
available acre of the Kansas wheat belt, is
thriving almost incredibly. If the Kansas
farmer makes a crop that is seventy per cent
perfect, he counts himself fortunate, This
crop, to date, promises to be one-hundred
per cent perfect. Unless some unforeseen
and highly improbable disaster occurs that
wheat crop will total not less than 100000
900 bushels, thus shattering all previous
Kansas records, and bringing into the state
an amount of money, guaranteed by the gov
eminent, which you can figure for yourself.
1t does not follow as a certainty that the
government is going to lose on this wheat
which it is pledged to buy at two-twenty
There are many who think it will not 1t is
true that If the 1919 crop were sold in an
uncontrolled market the farmer would prob
lieve that the world food situation being what
ably get good deal less than this gauran-
teed price for it. But there is reason to be-
it is, the government can take this wheat at
tWo-twenty, and get it's money back. For
the 1913 crop is about gone, and the greater
part of the world is still short of foodstuffs.

OUR TERRIBLE TONGUE

"Well," said the professor, as they sat to-

"Well, since you ask me, I will give you a

I'm the first place, do not speak of being

those who do not use tie word"
