Hard Job to Unhorse Paul Reverew One of those finical men who insist that facts are facts only when riveted down by spot witness affidavits and vouchers of identity from generation to generation says that Paul Revere must “move on” out of history into tradition and take Longfellow’s epic with him. If it must be tradition gains a star and Boston’s “ragged rebel” won’t be lonely touching elbows with the men of Sempach, Ivry and Thermopylae and other heroes in that twilight land. However, the ride has been ridden in imagination by millions of boys and girls who became fathers and mothers and even grandfathers and grandmothers to more riders. One and all, they took it for “true or it wouldn’t have been printed,” so it boots little whether that midnight trip t to Lexington happened or Longfellow Invented it. Paul Revere Is in saddle

to stay.

That charge into a hot place at Balaklava never occurred as the poet describes it, but the rendering of Tennyson’s classic on recitation days was the battle rehearsal for thousands of schoolboys who In the sixties really charged with Lee’s “Jeb” Stuart and Grant’s “Little Phil.” War is always what Sherman found it, but the spirit to “fight on horseback, footback and every other back” when nagged too far makes for peace as much as a big fleet and in the same way. Also, if Paul Revere could be unhorsed by collision with a little thing like “historical truth,” “Horatius at the Bridge,” “Arnold WInkelried” and “The White Plume of Navarre” must go too. The new thought has it that to believe an idea Is fact hard enough makes it fact regardless. For certain purposes, notably sidestepping dry rot in a nation’s backbone, this gospel bubbles with common sense.

chests.

It was not laziness nor decline that kept Mark Twain from launching a new joke on his seventy-third birthday. He knew that seventy-three for him was a joke on Dr. Osier that the whole world would appreciate.

Londoners have the big head because plants have been put in their subway. Some of our subways have been planted and replanted and not a few sane people are kicking to have them transplanted.

That pugilist who has “gone into litrature” is probably getting ready igainst the Inevitable to give Editor loosevelt a choice of weapons.

So marvelous is our climate that one lay step from summer into winter nd not be aware of doing a stretch.

The Uplift In the Mountains. Lincoln university, for the support of which money will be solicited in connection with the Lincoln centenary, is not merely another educational fad nor Is It a useless competitor with other Institutions. It is maintained for the practical training of mountaineers who but for its open doors will live without half a chance in case they stay In the mountains and fight against enormous odds if they leave the hills for crowded marts. In its ambition the university may be called an experiment. But the mission proclaimed is not farfetched. There is need of uplift work in those very mountains. Farther south in the mountains of Georgia a young society woman of St. Louis established a pioneer “settlement” a few years ago which has proved that the Idea of carrying culture to the poorest soil Is worth while. Beginning with five boys in 1902, she now conducts an establishment comprising a laundry, truck farm, school and library and dairy, the work being done by pupils, some of whom pay their way by labor. However Ignorant and ragged at the start, the material of the wild hills Is good. Not alone native ruggedness, but native honesty, is the heritage of those children, whose forbears ^vere In the main Scotch-Irish immigrants.

Haiti once belonged to France, but the natives revolted and slaughtered all the Frenchmen found on the Island. Napoleon made believe to befriend the blacks, but the regime he instituted ended in tyranny. Yet In spite of the national hatred of the French fla& the rulers of the little republic take cover under it to protect them from the fury cf their own people.

“JUST GOOD ENOUGH.” Christmas now, you may say, is not what it use to be, But you can put me down as sayin’; “its good enough for me,” Its good enough I’m sayin’ snd I’ve got the right to say For I’m going to be with the old folks on Christmas day. You may grumble and complain and cry for joy to see But quote me now as sayin,’ “There’s joy enough for me!” There’s joy enough ahead for a mother old and gray, So I’m goin’ to be with the old folks on Christmas day. You may talk about other Christmases that mock this one to be But this Christmas is what I said, “Justgrand enough for me,” The bells are ringin’sweeter and I’ve got my little pay And I’m goin’ to be with mother on • this Christmas day. Why this Christmas time is lovher than I ever dream or know And I thank God that I’m livin' and so well able to go; Why it’s good enough I’m savin’ and I’ve got the right to say, For I’m goin’ home to mother to spend the Christmas day. So you see why I’m as jolly as a fe *low ever could be 'Cause I’m thinkin’ of the happy time When we all set down to tea; Just a sup of mother’s egg nog will gives us a heap to say, And I’ll sure be with the old folks on this lively Christmas day. —Charles d. Marshall.

LINCOLN MEMORIAL rontinued from 1st Pag e. corn’s birth was In Hariirh county. As a village it was npt born great, did not achieve greatness, but had greatness thrust upon it. Great Memorial In Washington. Originally it was intended to build at the birthplace farm a much larger and more pretentious structure than that finally decided upon. The reason for the change was twofold—first, Hcdgenville is rather inaccessible and out of the line of travel; second, it is now practically assured that a great Lincoln memorial will be erected in Washington, in which all the procurable Lincoln relics will be housed. When the more ambitious project was contemplated President Roosevelt suggested that the farm edifice should be known as a temple of civic righteousness. It is hardly probable that the structure to be erected in the national capital will be called by so pretentious a name, as it is not certain lhat Washingtonians Avould know what it means. Besides, civic righteousness is hardly in harmony with the Washington atmosphere, where the congressional pork barrel flourishes and legislative log rolling is tbe chief industry. The tentative plans for a national monument to the martyr president took many forms. One was for a bridge over the Potomac, another included a great road running from Washington to Gettysburg, and a third consisted of open columns at one of the entrances to the capitol grounds, with tablets carrying tbe most famous of Lincoln’s utterances. More common sense counsels are now prevailing, however, and these are for a memorial building and museum which shall be as simple, classic, strong and enduring as Lincoln’s own fame. Year of Many Centenaries. There will be many centenaries dur Ing the coining year, since ISjy gave to the world more illustrious m«n than any other in history. On its roll of honor are such names as Alfred Ten nyson, the most 1 Spiritual modern poet; William Ewart Gladstone, the British statesman who was too g-e it to be a lord; Edward • Fitzgerald, tlio translator of Omar Khayyam; Charles Robert Darwin, the creator of the evolutionary philosophy; Kdyur Allan Poe. the American poet, novelist critic ami mystic; Oliver Wendell Holmes, the “autocrat;” Frederic Francois Chopin, the Polish piani. t and compo.-er; Jakob Ludwig Felix Mendelssohn, the German Hebrew composer ami mush inn; Frederick A. P. Barnard, the American educator, scientist and author, who was for a quarter of a century president of Columbia university; John Stuart Blackie, the famous Scotch translator, critic and poet; Franco.* Certain Canrobert. the 'French marshal who commutuled in the Crimea and in the Franco-Prussiau war; Kit Carson, the American pioneer an 1 hero of from tier romance; Mary Cowden C’arke. the most famous' woman Shakespearean scholar of all time; John A. Dahlgren. the American civil war admiral who won victories along the Adamic coast and invented the Dahlgren run; Jules Favre. the French democratic statesman who led the opposition during the second empire; James Glaisher, the British pioneer aeronaut, meteorologist and author; Nikolai Gogol, the Russian dramatist and professor who wrote “Dead Souls;" Hannibal Hamlin. Lincoln’s first vice president; Richard M Milnes, afterward created Lord Hough ton, the English poet and statesman who was a friend of Tennyson, and Fanny Kemble, the actress and writer who was born in England, but spent most of her time in America. Of lesser note may be mentioned among the celebrated eighteen hundred and tiiners Joseph Addison Alexander, the Princeton professor, biblical scholar and author: William Henry Bartlett, the English draftsman, traveler and writer; Bruno Bauer, the German Hegelian philosopher and rationalist; Park Benjamin, the American journalist and poet; Petrus Borel. the French journalist and man of letters, one of the strangest figures ever seen in literature; John Hill Burton, the Scotch historian and jurist; Jean Pierre Clement, the French politcal economist and historian, and a host of others that it would be a weariness of the flesh even to read. It may be mentioned that Jefferson Davis and Andrew Johnson were both born in the previous year, 1808, Johnson missing 1809 only by two days. In the language of mysticism a soul is a star. What a star shower fell tc the earth in that historic year a century ago! Of all these the very brightest was Abraham Lincoln, one of the few souls of the first magnitude, destined to shine through the ages.

Railroad Stations by Numbers. A new and ingenious scheme foi calling out stations has been presented to General Manager W. W.
