1t was all so strikingly analogous to what
the Vice President himself had been saying
one could not help but be impressed.
Furthermore, there was only too evident the
similarity between the lives of these two
Massachusetts, Vice Presidents of a half
century apart-Calvin Coolidge and Henry
Wilson-"the son of a farm laborer who
raised himself to the high places Of fame,
honor and power"
In turn Mr.. Coolidge pointed out in
teresting adornments of his Capitol
chamber There to his left loomed up a
magnificent Rembrandt Peale portrait Of
the immortal George Washington looking
down with calm, quiet composure. Over
the Ginning clock was a small gold framed
mirror that has been there for close TO
century and half Mr.. Coolidge's secretary
informed me it was the identical mirror
purchased by John Adams while Vice Presi-
dent, over which Congress raised the cry OF
"extravagance''-beca the Vice President

Il should like to draw your attention to
an address I delivered not long ago up at
my old alma mater-Amherst College"
said Mr.. Coolidge. He had asked his secre-
tary for notes of that speech and now pointed
out certain paragraphs. In that talk to
old college friends he had stressed the point
that this Western civilization of ours was
reared on foundation which asked mot

marvels Of ancient times. But, though sur
rounded with splendor, he delighted most in
his garden, where he would work with spade
and hoe and from which his friend and one
time colleague in the empire, Galertus, vain

of the state. IF you would only come to

Although not opuIent enough to afford
the luxury Of q villa, Horace, the great
Roman lyric poet who lived at the same time
as Maecenas, received as present from the
latter a beautiful little farm in the Sabine
country. And 1t is safe to say that not
all the wonderful villas Jumped together will
live as long and as dearly in the memory OF
the world as Horace's little Sabine farm,
which he has immortalized in many of his
wonderful odes.
Not until the horse-car made its appear
ance, less than a hundred years ago, did
the poorer people of large cities find it pos
sible to seek the relief of seashore or noun

classes in Rome, which. according to Gesner,
one Of the greatest authorities on Roman
antiquities, numbered 1900, 900 inhabitants
at its zenith under the empire, could not
fee from the heat, as can the poorest in the
cities Of the present day. Even the moder-
ately wealthy at best only could take ad-
vantage of the kindness of some more opulent
friend and claim his hospitality for a time
at the latter's country residence. II he had
no such friend, he was doomed to swelter in
the hot streets Of the metropolis or go to
the nearest seaside resort, which was Ostla,
at the mouth of the Tiber, some sixteen miles
away from Rome. 49,. =

the worn out statesman and courtier caught
ftful snatches of sleep induced by the pure
Tiburtine air and the somnolent murmur OF
the falling streams which went tumbling
down into the valley through the marble
arches of the villa. All to no purpose, how
ever. For three years the unfortunate man
fingered on, never once able to obtain an

A little more than a hundred years after
ward the Emperor Hadrian put up a villa
at Thur which eclipsed that of Maecenas

miles, and into its construction entered
every style of architecture which Hadrian
had ever seen and admired in his travels in
Greece and other parts of the world.
Arpinum, a small town southeast Of

The usual expectation of the rewards Of

read as follows:
There has been a tendency Of late years
for institutions of learning to drop away
from this position las outlined above) and
set up other standards of life. There has
been a tendency to teach methods Of acqui-
sition rather than methods Of righteous
ness. There Is danger that the emphasis
may be put in the wrong place that the
essential may be disregarded In the pur-
suit of the incidental. From this has
come the practice Of relying too much on
Government action, of believing that in
some way 1t could take over and bear the
burdens Of existence which rest upon the
individual. 1t would be possible to
make privileged class of a few, but that
is un- American and foreign 70 every in
stinct of our people. 1t is impossible to
make privileged class of everybody.
One of the results of attempting to adopt
this principle has been to bring Govern
ments into contempt 1t has been assumed
that they could perform the impossible.
In both cases, when they have refused to
attempt IL or when they have attempted il
and failed, they have been alike open TO
censure and condemnation. There are a
few fundamental things which Govern
ments have been established to secure.
They have never been better defined than
in the Declaration Of Independence, which
alike proclaims rights and imposes obi
gatons. Inc main defects OF those from
whose teachings our institutions are in
danger lie in the fact that they hold to the
belief that rights can be preserved when
obligations are disregarded.

PUSS IN BOOTS JR.
BY David Cory

Well, as I told you in the last story,
Puss in Boots Junior and his feathered
steed, Goosey Goosey Gander left the
schOolhouse in search Of Mary and her
little lamb. But when they came to her
house. which was now in New Mother
Goose Land, they were so disappointed,
for,
Mary had a little Pom,
Its hair was black as jet,
And everywhere that Mary went
She took her little pet.
She put him in the Kennel Show
To win ribbon blue,
While Mary walked around to give
A social bow or two.
And while she did society,
Poor doggie pinned and cried,
And In day or two, alas
Poor little Fido died.
Dear mel" said little Puss Junior, as
Mary finished telling him her troubles
You should have stayed In Old Mother
Goose Land"
But my lamb grew into a big sheep
and grew up. too, and father moved,
and-well. here l am, without any pet at

stay, dear Puss Junior"
II can't" replied our small hero.
GOosey Goosey Gander and I are on the
wing, 1 might say, for We sail above the
earth as swiftly as an alrship." And
with these words he mounted the gander
and was of again upon his journey Of
adventure.
"And now whittier shall we got" asked
Goosey Gooaey Gander
IT do not know" said Puss.
Let US keep agoing
While the wind is blowing;
Never sad, always glad,
With new hope a-glowingi"
And then how that gander did spread
his wings and fyI And by and by they
came to a green wood, and so they came
down to earth to rest in the shade and
eat their lunch. But when Puss Junior
opened his lunch basket there was moth
Ing in II. Wasn't that too tad!
You see, he had forgotten to have it
filed. Well, there was nothing to do
but take a nap, and so they lay down
and went to sleep, and Fuss Junior
dreamed about the time he met the Pie
man going to the fair, and how he had
eaten cranberry tarts and drank lemon
ade with the country boy named Simple
Simon.
And he was just going to buy another
tart when the Pieman said to Simple
Simon' "Show me your penny" and
while he was fumbIing in his pocket he
woke up.
