Word Nothing" Defined
as Meaning Something

Words, says an authority, have an
elastic meaning, according to the sense
in which they are employed: much also
depending on how nothing" is de-
fined. As sometimes used, nothing"
means something very Insignificant,
but still something that really exists.
For instance, you pick up an empty
bottle and say: "There is nothing in
it"-but there is air in it. When a
person is taken i'll be may say: at
is nothing;" but II may turn out to be
something that will result in his death.
Then again the expression, "He began
life with nothing" means that he be-
gan with very little. 81 have done
nothing all day" means that I have
accomplished little, not that I have
actually done nothing, for that would
be impossible. Such uses of words
are proper. according to common sense
as well as authority. Dryden wrote:
" 'Tis nothing, says the fool; but, says
the friend, this nothing, sir, will bring
YOU to your end"

Delay Return of
u. s. Dead
Bodies Of Americans MayNot
Be Sent Home Until 1922.

The $1,000 American dead in France
must be left I'm the graves they now
occupy until the French are ready TO
exhume their own dead, which may
not be before January l. 1922.
The foreign Office had promised to
consider the formal request of the
American government for the return
of its fallen soldiers, but later the fol-
lowing official announcement was
made:
1T has been definitely decided that
the allies who fell together for the
same cause should remain together
until circumstances permit of the re-
turning of the bodies TO the families
for whom they sacrificed themselves.
The proposed law forbidding the ex-
humation of the soldier dead for three
years did not pass at the last session
of the chamber of deputies. but the
foreign office expects that 1t Will be
adopted soon.
French families also want their
dead, but there are so many thousands
unidentified among the dead and trans
portation is inadequate to move the
100000 bodies i'm the various ceme-
teries. The British and Belgian gov
ernments are urging the return of their
dead. but France considers it only fair
to treat all countries alike.

Prof. Henderson
Here Thursday
To Take Place of Last Year
Lecture Course Number.

Professor w. d. Henderson, head of
the Extension Department of the
University of Michigan, and one of the
very finest lecturers on the platform
today, will speak at the high school,
Thursday evening, January 18th, at
7:3O. Professor Henderson comes here
so that those who were disappointed in
the last number of the Lecture Course
last year failing to appear will be able
to hear this number free.
Professor Henderson is so fine a
speaker that there are very few men in
lyceum work who can equal him. His
lecture is entitled "The Re-discovery
of America"
Many people who had lecture course
tickets last year have now lost them
and it is also the desire of Professor
Henderson that the lecture be free, SO
that no admission whatever will be
charged anyone to hear this lecture.
Come early and get good seat. for
you will not hear better speaker than
MIR. Henderson if you were to pay a
dollar admission.

THE TWO VILLAGES

over the river, on the hill,
Lieth a village white and still;
All around II the forest trees
Shiver and whisper in the breeze:
over II sailing shadows go
OF soaring hawk and screaming crow,
And mountain grasses, low and sweet
Grow In the middle OF every street
over the river, under the hill,
Another village lieth still;
There / see I'm the cloudy night
Twinklng stars of household light,
Fires that CLEAN from the smithy's door
Mists that curl on the river shore;
And in the roads no grasses grow,
For the wheels that hasten to and fro.
In that village on the hill
Never is sound OF smithy or mill;
The houses are thatched with grass and
flowers;
Never a clock to toll the hours;
The marble doors are always shut,
You can not enter In hall or hut;
All the villagers lie asleep;
Never again to sow or reap:
Never I'm dreams to moan or sigh;
Silent and idle and low they lie.
In that village under the hill.
When the night is starry and still,
Many a weary soul in prayer
Looks to the other village there,
And weeping and signing. longs to 60
Up to that home from this below;
Longs to sleep In the forest wild.

And heareth, praying. this answer fall;
