KATYDIDS.
shore of Lake Michigan.
katydids sCraped in the dim trees,
And l thought they were little white
skeletons
Playing the fiddle with a pair of
finger bones.
How long is it since Indians walked
here,
Stealing along the sands with
smooth feet?
How long is it since Indians died
here
And the creeping sands scraped
them bone from bone?
Dead Indians under the sands, play
ing their bones against
strings of wampum.
The roots of new. young trees have
torn their graves asunder.
But in the branches sit little white
skeletons
Rasping bitter death -dirge

Beneath a moldy thatch,

Before they lift the latch.

Fat spiders crowd the pane,
And dark herbs scattered on the
floor
Watt fragrance down the lane.

So secret, shy, and squat,

Song for n Little House.

m glad our house is a little house,
Not too tall nor too wide:
m glad the lowering butterflies
Feel free to come inside.
Our little house is friendly
house.
1t Is not shy or vain;
1t gossips with the talking trees.
And makes friends with the rain.
And quick leaves cast a simmer Of

Against our whited walls.
And in the. phlox, the courteous
bees
Are paying duty calls.

Archibald,A Example.

Archibald's Example.
Old Archibald, in his eternal chair
Where trespassers, whatever
their degree,
Were soon frowned out again, was
looking off
Across the clover when he said
to me:
My green hill yonder, where the
sun goes down
Without a scratch, was once in
habited
BY trees that injured him-an evil
trash
That made a cage, and held him
while he bled.
Gone fifty years, I see them as
they were
Before they fell. They were a
crooked lot
To spoil my sunset. and saw no
time
In fifty years for crooked things
to rot.
Trees. yes; but not a service or a
joy
To God or man. for they were
thieves OF light.
So down they came. Nature and !
looked on.
And we were glad when they
were out of sight.
Trees are like men. sometimes ;
and that being so.
So much for that" He twinkled
in his chair,
And looked across the clover to the
place
That he remembered when the
trees were there.

shocked by the continued
wastefulness of the United States
military and naval establishment.
It is so much easier to destroy
than to build, and to acquire new
things is so much harder than to
dispose of existing things, that a
certain lowliness probably at
taches to policy of waste.
When we recall the money and
sacrifices involved in building up
a merchant marine during the
war, and in collecting all the other
auxiliary craft necessary to the
successful conduct of that con-
flict, it strikes the average Amer
ican as little short of criminal
recklessness to scrap all the ves-
sells not Immediately and obvious
ly useful.
Indeed, the policy of partial dis
armament may not become effec-
tive, and we would then have ad-
ditional reason to regret our haste
and waste in wholesale scrapping
of major and minor vessels.
Meanwhile, it would seem
simple common sense to extend
to every one of the seaboard
cities, along the Atlantic and the
Pacific coasts, the privilege which
enables New York to acquire it's
powerful and serviceable police
boat, the John F. Hylan.
There are available sufficient
of similar sea-going tugs and
other suitable boats which could
be sold at a nominal sum- to the
police force of each Of these
cities and towns.
Such boats would add to the
of the necessary wa
ter service of the police depart
ments. And they would be de-
sirable additions to the auxiliary
fleet in time of "trouble."
Instead Of reckless scrapping,
we might as well let these boats
serve what useful purpose they
can in peace and in possible war.

The Real
Success
CHIEVEMENT is not always
! success, while reputed failure

n CHIEVEMENT is not always
~ success, while reputed failure
often is. The most successful
men are not necessarily the ones
|noisily attracting public attention.
The best and most useful women
are not the bright butterflies Of
fashion or the stage, whose press
agents necessarily flaunt their pic
lures and their petty doings be-
fore the public.
The unlauded men and women
who are quietly attending to their
own little duties, every day con-
tributing something substantial to
general industry, prosperity and
progress, rearing children in habits
of useful work and right living
and supplying examples that ele-
vate the moral and intellectual
level of their little communities
these are the men and women of
real influence and power.
Success is theirs in the fullest
measure.
1t is not given us all to have
success as gorgeous as the rain
bow. But no matter. Success con-
sists in doing ones best. Indeed,
the real success is more in the
trying than in the achieving. We
may achieve by accident, by help
of others, by chance conditions or
by other forces that are not ours.
But our efforts are all our own.
1t is our purposes and our efforts
that are a part of our very selves.
How shrunkeD and pitiful a
thing, how hollow a delusion, is
the shining so-called success Of
self absorbed men and women.
They have only the husks Of
life's golden grain.
Like that soldier under Gale
rius who found a shining leather
bag filled with pearls and cast
away the pearls but carefully pre-
served the bag, these self-absorbed
ones are spurning true riches, real
success, to hug to their hearts
things that are empty and worth
less.

An In,periaListic Tie.

CENATOR LA TOILETTE de-
~ livered an address in Mil
waukee the other day in
which he discussed the pending
Four-Power Treaty. In it he
said:
The people of the United
States must determine whether
they will return to the funda-
mental principles upon which
their Government was estab-
lished and devote their lives
and energies to building up q
great people, or whether they
will follow the path along which
Woodrow Wilson and Warren
G. Harding have attempted to
lead them to become q great
western empire, a party to the
worlds intrigues, hated by all
peoples and respected by none.
Senator La Toilette said that
the lesson of the defeat of the
League of Nations by Congress
and by the people had apparently
been lost on the present Admins
tration, and added:
The -Four Power Treaty is
nothing more or less than q
binding alliance with the three
great imperialistic nations Of
the time.
All the advocates of the treaty
deny this, claiming the treaty pro-
vides for nothing more than oc-
casional conferences.
But Japan knows it is an al
lance bigger and broader than the
Anglo-Japanese alliance which it
supersedes, and if the Senate rati-
fles it, Japan will swagger worse
than ever.
Britain also knows II is an al
liance-the fulfillment Of Britain's
long dream Of reclaiming the
"lost colonies" Which is why
she Is so grateful to Balfour. p
La Toilette Is right. We stand
at the cross roads. One way, the
way Of the fathers, lie peace, pros
perity, dignity, freedom; the other
way lie needless perils and reck-
less surrender Of Americas herit-
age.
