APOSTLE of Liberty.

Pattison considers that the great
and special feature of Milton's pase
works is the fact that through the
whole series of them runs the re-
deeming characteristic that they are
ali written on the side of liberty 1t
may be religious liberty, or civil, or
domestic, or the liberty of the press,
or the liberty of the conscience, but
liberty is the main spirit that distin-
guished them. e. His tracts car
ried with them their own protests for
the liberty of the press, for as rule,
they were issued unlicensed, and I'M
registered, and whatever may have
been the faults in their conception,
they had about them breezy fearless
ness, no matter what the topic was to
which they alluded.-George c. VIII
hanson.

Barbara sat on a moss-covered rock

wrote her best friend as follows:

THE BEFUDDLERS.
BY oliver p. Megahau.

BY Oliver +. Megahau.
Some Democrats are mighty short on
matters Of the brain,
Reminds me of fellow riding back
wards in the train,
Looking out the window to see things
first and last;
Never sees a good thing till after it is
passed.
For instance look at Wilson. with the
Cuban sugar crop;
Could have bought it for eleven, eleven
was the top.
But his back was to the front, his
conceit, it was a plenty
England got the sugar and we're pay
ing more'n twenty,
He took the railroads over, with Me
Adoodledoo,
The ownership Of which, of course. he
knew just what t. do;
He ran the gauntlet for awhile, he
ran it in the ground;
He gave them back perfect wreck,
a billion bucks behind
The telephones and telegraph and every
thing in sight,
He handled like a polar bear trying to
fly kite;
A billion dollars spent or more in max
ing aeroplanes
That never reached the field of war,
A scandal now remains.
The Chiicothe episode, of waste at
Sherman Post,
A cost that makes US stagger at the
Democratic ghost
Will they speak of these big billions,
that number fifty-four,
That we will surely have to pay, that
much and many more,
At the Democrat convention in the
western Golden Gate
Where they'll cast die to mold lie
for the voters, as bait?

In this country the chief, and prac-
tically only interest in the potato to-
day is as a vegetable for the table.
We are greatly surpassed in this use
by Europe, and Germany IN particu-
lar. In that land the average annual
per capita consumption was seven
bushels in normal times, while our
own was two and half. The labor
ers of eastern Germany ate II bushels
per annum. The other European coun-
tries are, as a rule, far above us and
the diet Of many an freshman is said
to be potatoes and spring water-for
breakfast, dinner and supper. In adj
dition to this direct consumption, uses
of the potato largely unknown to
Uncle Sam are the flour, starch, dex-
trine, glucose and alcohol.

A Good nLlfe.n

A good Life" is a portrait OF man,
and something more than that; and
requires a union of qualities, by no
means common, in the writer. With
respectable abilities a biographer can
produce "a judicious and sensible mar
ratiye Of the career Of remarkable
person; or with respectable abilities
Of lighter kind, he may seize the
picturesque traits of his individuality
and achievements But 1t is very rare
TO find a master in both these arts
one whose judgment enables him to
discern what = really significant in
the little accessories of biography (as
anecdotes. etc) and who has genius
at the same time equal to fine dra-
matte delineation. From James Han
nays Course of English Literature"

MR.. WILSON AT PRINCETON.
From the Providence Journal.


A presidential straw ballot has just
been taken at Princeton University by
the college daily. The total vote cast
was 1861. Of which Woodrow Wilson
received only eight.
Mr.. Wilson is a graduate of Princeton,
served for some years as a member of
its faculty and later became its presi-
dent, and yet there are only eight per-
sons now connected with the university,
either as teachers or students, who
favor his denomination as Presid mt of
the United States. We could have no
better proof of his diminished prestige.
