snubbed several times in this way he
went back for more. I'VE are just as

him at table, and even at Christina s

was not unhappy. There was in his
nature wonderful resiliency that
never let his spirits drop beyond q
certain point and that always brought
them back to highwater mark at the
slightest encouragement.
Going to school and getting to know

Patriotic Senators
To the Editor of The Tribune

10 the Eollof oil ] ne Tribune.
Sir; After reading your editorial
on Senator Underwood, of Alabama. +
felt that You were unfair to the other
Senator who was on the same interna-
tional conference committee.
Acknowledge that partisanship was
submerged by patriotism, and had it
not been that the Senator from
Alabama could have defeated the ratifi
cation of the treaties, then the Sena-
tor from Massachusetts could also, in
like manner, have defeated dtheirratifica
ton. 1t must not be supposed that he
sought ratification because of partisan
ship
Republicans as we'll as Democrats
voted for and against, and as sat in
the gallery Of the Senate Chamber and
listened to the Senators felt that our
country was indeed fortunate in hay
ing two such patriotic Senators rep
resenting its interests irrespective of
party affiliations. And so ] want to
bear witness TO the patience and clear
ness In replying and explaining to their
colleagues of both Senators--thc sena.
tor from Massachusetts and the Senate,
from Alabama.
To both VIC owe unstinted praise and
eternal gratitude.

More Truth Than Poetry
By James J. Montague
A Difference

We shifted in the breath of the
on-shore wind,
In the days that are dead and
gone.
Myrrh from Persia and spice from
And camphor from far Ceylon.
The fragrance Of roses from
Tripoli
Perfumcd our western shore
But those are the days that are
long gone by,
The time that shall come no
more.
We pictured the crew in the
bright array
OF the natives of lands afar,
AS the bark climbed over the
breakers gray
And hauled for the foam
hecked bar.
We listened for songs, in a wild,
strange tongue,
Of the land of the hearts de-
sire,
The chantey that scamen have
always sung
Since Homer smote his Tyre.
But what do we sniff in the breeze
to-day
When we watch till our ship
comes in?
What are the scents that come up
the bay?
Whlskey and rum and gin!
Ale from Scotland-you know the
Bass's and Guinness stout;
Burgundy, brandy, champagne
and port
And the ship still three miles
And what are the sounds that we
hear at night?
A voice from a husky throat
Cries: "Captain see a cleaning
light;
Perhaps it's dry-law boat"
Odd scents, odd sounds! all pass
ing strange,
We listen and sniff with awe:
For the world has suffered a sad
sea change
Because Of the Volstead law.

needs and still have plenty for ex-

for the miners and low price to the

trouble with the present unorxanized
system is that the load is not scienti6

A local collegian had one of his books stolen from him. He looked high and low, but could not find the volume. Somebody had taken it, that was all.
 So he walked down to book store that deals in secondhand books and asked to see a copy of the book he was after.
 A very nice specimen was handed out to him.
 He examined it carefully.
 Sure enough, it was his book!
 'This was my book" he told the book man. "But, of course, I'll pay you, all right.

CULTIVATION OF HOLLY
URGED BY SPEAKER

Let everybody plant a holly tree,
said Mrs. Edward II. Bouton at the
annual meeting yesterday afternoon
VI the Baltimore Chapter of the Wild
Flower Preservation Society of
America in Arundel Club Hall.
I'VE want Maryland to take the mi
tiative in big holly industry" Mrs.
Bouton continued. THE nurseries in
this State have ideal grounds for the
cultivation of it, and the popularity of
holly during the Christmas season
would make such an industry success
tul commercially.
Many people make the mistake of
thinking that Maryland has an mex
hauStible supply of wild holly. The
fact of the matter is that the natural
holly has been so brutality slaughtered
that it is rapidly dying out. Unless
some effort is made 20 industrializc it,
ii will Ne extinct within the next few
years If ii were made a State indus
try there would be an abundance of il
for tho peoplceof this State, and car
loads could be shipped to Western
States. in which it is never grown"
