THE NATION LOVES WILSON:— “In the eyes of his own partisans President Wilson lias always been regarded as a high-class man, a thinker, a constructionist, a patriot and a safe man to have at the helm of state. Those who differ from him politically have conceded his ability, his desire to be of service to the country, and have credited him with being a very sincere man. The country at large could mid no fault in him and admire 1 him as a type of citizen which no other country except ours can produce. But it was not until he wa» confronted with the great problems of state, that called for almost a superman to meet and solve, that everybody, democrats, republicans, progressives, men of all parties, discovered tlie real worth of the president to the nation. During the past few months, and particularly during the past few weeks, President Wilson has grown to gigantic proportions in the estimation and esteem of his fellow countrymen. Relatively, too, he has won their confidence, and whereas some doubted his ability to rise to big occasions, he has demonstrated V the satisfaction of all that he is a safe man in a trying hour and that he can be firm when the demand for firmness arises. President Wilson has won a place in the hearts of the people which no president lias occupied since Abraham Lincoln. They love him. they believe in him and they are not afraid to trust him, feeling and knowing that his greatest concern is for the rights and the welfare of the people Over those destinies he has been called upon to preside. A less impetuous man would have plunged the nation into war; a less courageous man would have humiliated and shamed us. By combining good sense with courage, patience with patriotism, appeal to humanity witli diplomacy, lie lias averted a threatened calamity in the midst of our prosperity and with it all has made the nation and the flag more respected than the yhave ever been before.

> to- the demands of the United States, : as now seems more than likely, Presi--1 dent Wilson must be given credit tor having forcefully demonstrated to the I world that ‘the pen Is mightier thnn the sword.’ And in doing that, he has hastened the day when world peace, so long the dream of those who abhor the waste and beastly purposes of war. will be a reality and men of all nations and all tongues will dwell together as brothers of the common good.”—White County Democrat.

A Perfect Day, When you come to the end of a Perfect Day, And you sit alone with your thought, While the chimes ring out with a carol gay, For the joy that the day has brought. Do you think what the end of a perfect day Can mean to a tired heart, When the sun goes down with a flaming ray, And the dear friends have to part? Well, this is the end of a perfect day. Near the end of a journey, too; But it leaves a thought that is big and strong, With a wish that is kind and true. For mem’ry has painted this perfect day With colors that never fade. And we find, at the end of a perfect day, The soul of a friend we've made. —Carrie Jacobs-Bond. The Pythian Needle club ojjened its circle to welcome four guests last evening when Mrs. Al Burdg.

Th« Literal Jamaican Mind. During tbe early period of the work on the Panama canal many persons were injured by Jumping on and off trains in motion on the Panama railroad. There were on the zone police force many West Indians who were trained and capable uien, but Incurably literal. An order was issued to the force to arrest any (tenon found Jumping on or off a trnln in motion, and tlie next day two West Indian policemen brought into a police station a white num who was struggling fiercely to break away from tjiem. "What have you arrested him for?” asked the jtollee sergeant who was on duty. "For Jumping on ami off the rear of n train, salt,” one of the policeman replied. "The blamed fools!” cried the arrested man. “I'm the brakeman!” On one occasion a Jamaican boy who was a switch tender in Culebra cut was found asleep with his head rest Ing on the rails of the switch. "Dat’s all right, boss,” said tbe boy when waked. "No train can get by here wldout me knowlu’ it!”—Youth’s Companion. Spohr and the Violin. Louis Spohr, the greatest of nil German violinists and a man whose name is otherwise indelibly written on the pages of musical history, was born at Brunswick on April 5, 17.84, just fifteen days after his great contemporary %nd rival, Nicolo Paganini, first saw the light of the world. Two greater contrasts than these two men could not be imagined. Paganini, the brilliant, dazzling, comet-like apparition, overawed the masses, Yor whose favor he made a high bld, while the German, the serious, dignified, deep artist, appealed to tlie connoisseurs and cultured musicians. Spohr both by precept and example exerted a tremendous influence on violin playing and violin composition and, in fact, on composition in general. Tlie greatest musicians of his day stood in awe of him, and even Richard Wagner, after Spohr had produced “The Flying Dutchman” at Cassel in 1843, where he was then conductor of tlie opera, in a letter written to the great violinist displayed a sense of gratitude of which in later years he seemed incapable. Spohr died at Cassel in 1859. A Great Italian Estate. Tbe Duke of Sermoneta ranks among the greatest land owners in Italy. Foglinno, his estate near the Pontine < marshes, extends to 80,000 acres, mainly under grass, for tbe duke owns vast herds of cattle. The most productive ixtrtion of the estate, however, Is a lake several miles long and about a mile in breadth, which, from the time of the Roman empire downward, has supplied fish for the market in Rome. Whenever there is a flood caused by rain on the hills the lake overflows through a narrow channel into the sea. Tlie sea fish find their way through into tbe lake, remain to fatten in tlif fresh water and then are captured on their return by an Ingenious labyrinth constructed of reed* into which they swim. They are of the best kiml-rchiefly gray mullet.--Lon-don Muil.

Polyglot Britain. Norman French Is still the official language of the Channel islands. It Is rather a surprise when one begins to count the different languages spoken within the borders of the United Kingdom. How many people would guess that there are still at least five living tongues used among us? There is English in England, Welsh in Wales, Erse in Ireland, Gaelic in Scotland and French in the Channel isles, while Cornish in Cornwall and Manx in the Isle of Man have scarcely yet faded entirely, and in Whitechapel even the postoffice prints its notices in Yiddish.— London Mirror. The Five Pointed Start 1 Tn astronomical figures stars of the different magnitudes are shown with three, four, five and six points. On many of the ancient armorial bearings the star has six points and is called a “star,” while that with five is called a “mullet.” This figure of the star with five points was in use as far back as can be traced in history. It wns called a pentacle, or pentagram, and came to have a mysterious symbolical meaning. His Wish. “It is a woman’s fate to suffer in silence,” she volunteered. “If they'd only let us suffer the same way," be rejoined. Whereupon she remarked that he was a hateful, mean, stupid, contemptible, despicable, beneath contempt man. So there!—Philadelphia Ledger. Imagination. “Robert,” said the teacher to a small pupil, “can you tell me what imagination Is?" “Yes," ma'am,” replied the little fellow; “Imagination is what makes a fellow flunk a bee's stinger is three feet long after he gets stung.”—New York Globe. A Mean Critic. “How realistic your pulnllng is! It fairly makes my mouth water.” “A sunset makes your mouth water!” “Oh, it is a sunset, is it? I thought it was a fried egg!" Foolish Question. “Some one stoic- every blessed stocking off our line.” “What are blessed stockings?” “Those which are not darned, of course.”—Exchange. T.ife is not days and years. Life is Ive and labor.—Newnbam.

From My Narrow Little Window By THE HOOSIER OBSERVER Making The Bed Squeak

Making the Bed Squeak. Have you ever felt like a murderer? I have of late years- since I am old enough to realize what mig.it have been the results of making the bed squeak.’ Shall 1 tell you about it? We were barely out of our teens. Lil y and I, young and frisky and had never heard of a nerve except in our physiology book—when we were graduated from the eighth grade. By the way it was the first formal eighth grade commencement in Decatur thought we were entitled to a rest after our strenuous (?) study, so we packed our grips witli our new graduating clothes including our wh'.e graduating dress and blue hair ribbons and took advantage of an inv't.ttion to visit (I’ll call her Maizie. but it’s not her name) at her country home many miles from here for a week or as long as we could without getting homesick and crying. Nov, we found our friend not the suave, gentle-voiced little creature we knew her in- our homes, when she visited there. She was ill and cross and »prvous and tier voice high and shrill and rasping, made us laugh hearti'y to ourselves when we were alone. Father and mother and brother all came in for her scoldings though we >.f course were quite nicely treated. M e girls thought it was simply a case . f ill nature—but we have since learned better. It was a case of bad nerves! We three slept in Maizie’s large, clean, sweet country-smelling roo"t. Lilly and I together. Ono time in the early night, while we were still talking, Maizie’s voice rasped out: ‘Girls, won't you please lie still so that bed won't squeak?' We hadn’t even noticed the squeak until she reminde is of it. And what did I do? Keep still? Oh. no; I deliberately turned and twisted and turned again and again till the old bed fairly rattled out what today would have been. 'lt's a Long. Long Way to Tipperary.’ in its old squeaky tone. And Lily and 1 giggled and giggled. and called her an impolite, illmannered girl, sub-rosa. But Maizie never said a tvord about it. She couldn't to ‘company.’ though I am

creased squeaks. 1 know now that sure site must have noticed the i n . She must have felt every one a s like red-hot needles pricking Into her brain until she felt nearly wild and frantic and ready to do—the laud only knows what! 1 knot by later expert, ence. Thai is why 1 fed like a murderer. I have since realized that a person, goaded beyond endurance, ut the critical moment when a . straw breaks the camel's back, may become quite mad or insane and wholly irresponsible. Some commit murder, some suicide, some, other horrible things—dependent on the strain on them, and also their nature —that they would not do unless goaded cruelly. The one who goads them would surely be a murderer. It seems to be human nature to want to do what someone else does not want us to do; to prod and push a sore spot; to put prickly burrs under the horse’s saddle to see her jump; to put vinegar on the raw spot of some one’s nature—just to see them squirm. And then to know that these things are being deliberately done to tease! That is where the rub comes in. The thing itself does not hurt so much as the fact that it is being done on puntoae to see us squirm. These little annoying things are often so tiny, so refined, so slander and delicate as to be unseen to the average naked eye, yet we know so surely that the person with smiling face, is handing us out the thing he knows we want least, and the fact that we know that he knows it, only serves to make it hurt the more. If I, knowing that these things hurt, deliberately persist, I am a murderer, goading someone beyond endurance. A person thus easily annoyed is nut ill-tempered; he is sick in mind and spirit and should be so treated. A sick person physically, is given every care, waited on tenderly. No one would think of coming up and striking a broken arm. Yet that Is what we do figuratively every time we de liberately set out to 'make the bed squeak’ when we know they do nit want it to. May heaven forgive me for making that ‘bed squeak’ and keen me from ever doing it again.”
