Only the flgwss st eotslaed Is it refers aw tie isnnlstloi tot;'" ONLY PO'TRY 'It is an interesting point which Superintendent Jordan has raised concerning the questions asked aspiring teachers in their examinations. It appears that the question most generally missed is that of the authorship of "Drink to Me Only With Thine Eyes." Everyone will be disposed to grant that this is a familiar song, but not one person . in ten, we are inclined to think knows either that "Rare Ben Jonson" is responsible for the words, or Mozart for the music so generally connected with the song. But this, we take it, has nothing particularly to do with the case. The real crux of the situation is whether or not it is a fair question to ask of one who is supposed to have a knowledge of English literature. It is our belief that it is. And we base this on a comparison of college entrance examination papers to several of the colleges and universities In the east If this question is asked candidates for matriculation in colleges, it should follow, in our opinion, that it is not entirely unfair to ask those who are to teach. It may be "a prejudice, but we cer tainly- believe that a good grounding in the principles of literary, composition with a general familiarity with good examples of English prose and verse is very infrequent in this day and generation. A man may be pardoned many other things who at least knows something of the best English models. It may be argued that this means 'only po'try,' 'but it must be this same 'po'try' which is a part of the all round cultivation necessary to be an effective teacher. This being so we commend to all the future aspirants for positions as teachers a careful perusal of Palgrave's "Golden Treasury" as a safeguard against future catastrophes. Hems Gathered in From Far and Near The Outlook For Peary. From the New York Tribune. The departure of the Jeanic " from St. Johns, Newfoundland, carrying mail, food and coal to Commander Peary, naturally excites speculation as to the measure of success which has attended the explorer's efforts this year. If the object of his expedition has already been accomplished, Peary will doubtless come back within the next few weeks. However, as the Roosevelt, which took him to the arctic regions last summer, could not force lt way southward through the floating ice in the channel above Cape Sabine before July or August, and as he would probably need coal to continue his voyage home, he might be expected to wait for fuel at some convenient -point Etah, on the Greenland coast, for instance until the arrival of his relief ship. If, on the other hand, he is dissatisfied with the result of last spring's work, it is not likely that he will move the Roosevelt from the harbor in which he placed her a year ago on the coast of Grant Land, if he had good luck but return by sledge to Etah in order to exchange dispatches with the Jeanle. In either contingency, therefore, definite news should be received from him by the middle of September, if not sooner. Protecting Policy Holders. From the Springfield Republican. One of the New York life insurance companies is to make its medical bureau an active propagandist of good health rules and suggestions among policy holders, besides offering free medical examinations at stated intervals. Another New York life company, it is reported, plans the construction of a tuberculosis hospital or sanatorium for the use of afflicted policy holders, which, it is safe to say, will not be surrounded by the company with buildings high enough to exclude the sunlight. This would seem to be stretching the legal powers of such : a company. Anyhow, at this rate, the purchase of a life insurance policy will soon entitle the owner-to

THE NEW TARIFF The Dingley Act has gone and in Its place stands the new tariff, act. Whatever else may be said of the measure the business world and the fatigued public will be glad that the futile chatter about it is over. The settlement of the question leaves business free from, its disturbing influence and psychologically the world of trade is freed from a care. Merchants and manufacturers at least know what to expect, and buying and selling and manufacturing all can. resume their activities with something definite as a basis.

In Indiana the respective actions of Taft and Beveridge will be well discussed. Any discussion must have its beginning in the view that is taken of the tariff. We are willing to accept the statement of President Taft as correct. In his opinion he frankly states that the tariff as now formulated "is ' not a perfect tariff." He says further that, "it is not a complete compliance with the promises made, if strictly interpreted." That is a manly straightforward statement. The people had been led to look for a more equitable act and one which afforded a more material relief for the consumer. But we think that Taft has done the best he could with this bill and It certainly stands to his credit that he made a better law out of it than was offered by the house and far better than the senate had to give after Aldrich had done his worst. Certain it is. that the discussions of the bill have been a sood education for the people, the right methods of revision have been made familiar, if not consistently carried out; victories over special privilege are in the new act as well as jokers for the few. Even the limited provision for the tariff commission and its emasculation have a promise for a time when there will be a really scientific measure made in accordance with need, rather than greed. Thanks to this stand of Beveridge and his vigorous attitude on the "difference in the cost of production." The public has gained victories which, although some of them are not in the tariff, are, nevertheless, real victories.

The above view of President Taft which we quoted that the tariff is not "a complete compliance with promises made" is a complete justification of Beveridge's action in not voting for the tariff bill. After he has said the things which he has said, and voted consistently along one line throughout the special session; after he has stood up for the rights of the people who are the real consumers as opposed' to 'the" 'Interests' we think he should be applauded for his stand. We believe that had Taft been a senator instead of president that he would have been an out and out insurgent and done exactly as Beveridge has done.

The best evidence that can be adduced that Beveridge has kept his pledges to the people is not alone the fact that he voted against the tariff bill, but the fact that he is undeniably marked for slaughter by the corporate interests which he has dared to oppose. Unless we are very much mistaken there will be signs of activity around Gary when the word is passed by the United States Steel Company which will be soon, if it has not been done already. The outcome is still in futurity but we are not inclined to believe that all the people in Indiana can be man-handled by the corporations huge and dangerously powerful as they are. The tariff will be a local issue indeed far beyond the interpretation of the late Gen. William Scott Hancock when the fight comes off for the people and Beveridge comes up for re-election.

free medical attendance and hospital andsanatorium facilities. Is New England Corrupt? From the Duluth Herald. No doubt many people wonder at times why the New England states should be so completely dominated by railroad and other corporate interests, and why the representatives of these states in congress are so uniformly suppliant to the wishes of the large interests. The reason is that there is no minority party worth counting in any of these states; that the people are republi cans from force of habit, and that the republican organizations are absolute ly controlled and have been for years, by the railroad and combined corporate interests which elect senators, representatives, legislatures and governors. What these states need is an effective minority party. The Silent H.usband. From the Baltimore Sun. Can you ever satisfy the ladies? They detest a man who talks; they consider that it is their prerogative to do all the talking for the family and they generally supply the demand "and then some." For years they have considered that the ideal husband is the silent man, the man who never tries to get a word in edge-wise, who never disputes anything his wife says or objects to anything she does, but who earns the money to pay her bills, hands it over to her in silence and without a word bears all the ills that married men are heir to. But New Jersey threatens to pull this hero down from his pedestal. For Mrs. Frank J. Beekman of Asbury Park is suing her husband for divorce on the ground that he will not talk to her. Spain Needs Heroes. From the Detroit Journal. The King of Spain might import a few Rough Riders. Many of the heroes have been jobless since shortly after March 4. Economists. From the Philadelphia Inquirer. A Washington statistician has figured out that in ten years the annual national expense will be $5,000,000,000. By that time people will look back on Aldrich as the Holman of his generation. TWINKLES (BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.) Gloomy Research. "So you are again, at your microscope investigating germs!"

"I dunno," answered Plodding Pete, "unless it's dis habit farmers is gittin' into of advertisin' fur harvest hands." Sweets Ai-e Great Baby 8avore. The young, unspoiled human animal has a liking for sugar just as it has for sunlight, for fresh air. for play, for paddling in the surf and plunging in the stream or for food when it is hungry and sleep when It - is tired and. subject, of course, to reasonable limitations, as wholesome as any of the others. This is precisely what our specialists in children's diseases and broad minded family physicians have been urging for decades past, and it would be safe to say that, next to the bauishmcnt of starchy foods, gruels and paps from the nursery and the substitution of pure, sweet milk, few things have done more to increase the vigor and happiness of modern children and to cut down our disgraceful Infant mortality than the free and intelligent use in the nursery of swee? fruits, preserves, sugar, taffy and but terscotch.

HE WAS NOT A FLIRT. Therefore He Resented the Woman's Attempts at Familiarity. He was riding homeward, comfortably seated and reading his paper. Being a trifle nearsighted, be was applying himself even more closely to hiu paper than other homegoing passengers. Thus Intent In the day's news, be was startled when a woman came up beside bim and touched him lightly on the shoulder, at the same time casting a longing eye on bis seat. He Is a polite man, and he got up. "A woman with that much nerve is entitled to a seat," be muttered to himself. "The idea of a woman deliberately nudging a man out of bis seatf Other women standing near by laughed unreservedly. He hid his embarrassment behind bis paper, for he felt that his good nature had been imposed upon and that the laugh was on him. By and by there was a vacant seat next to the one be had given up to the woman, and be sat down once more. The woman turned and looked at him amusedly. He could feel her gaze, even though he made a bluff at being intensely Interested in his paper. Tretty raw. it seemed to him, for a woman deliberately to take the seat of a total stranger and then sit there and laugh at bim because he was such a mark. Then the woman spoke to bim, "Aren't you going to talk to me?" she asked. He could stand her familiarity no longer. "Well, of nil the" He stopped right there when he looked around and recognized her.

COOKS' SHOPS. They Were the Beginnings of the Modern Restaurant. In primitive times the only places In London where the public could be entertained with food had been the cooks' shops. The famous East Cheap was a great thoroughfare, down which the stalls of the butchers alternated with those of the cooks. You chose a joint at the flesh market, and you carried it next door to be cooked for you by a certain hour. If you wished for wine, you must bring that with you, for the cooks sold no liquor, although they seem to have provided, as time went on, more and more of the natural accompaniments of meat, such as bread, vegetables and pastry. This habit continued until well into the reign of Elizabeth, and so long as such an Inconvenient custom prevailed there could have been no real comfort for any citizen who chose to dine abroad. He must have had as much trouble with porterage and baskets as a country party has today at a picnic. But about the time that Shakespeare came up to London a remarkable change took place in the customs of the town, and the practice of public hospitality and entertainment was singularly facilitated. The nature of this change lay in the sudden development of the tavern and the consequent withdrawal of the cookshop. The worshipful company of pastelars, as the cooks were called, ceased to enjoy the monopoly of providing hot meals. Edmund Gosse in Harper's Magazine. Railroads Are Never Finished. In one respect a railroad is unlike any other project undertaken by man it is never finished. Like a cucumber vine, says a writer in Popular Me'cbanlcs, the instant it ceases to grow it begins to wither. There must be continuous expansion and enlargement. Larger cars require more powerful locomotives, and both in turn call for heavier rails, bigger roundhouses, stronger bridges, longer platforms and siding increased safety devices, while the straightening of curves and the leveling of grades come in for their share of attention on even the oldest roads. Little wonder, then, with our railroads consuming nearly one-half ef all our manufactured steel and iron and fully one-half of all tbe lumber made each year., that they are tbe unfailing barometer of the business activity of the nation. The Wonders of Science. It was left for tbe exhibitor of a phonograph in the streets of Utrecht, according to an American traveler, to put tbe finishing touch to the wonderful invention. There was the sound of a military band in full blast, and then suddenly the tune stopped and "Haiti" rang hoarsely out upon tbe air. "Who's that interrupting the concert?" flippantly inquired the American, edging close to the operator. "That." said the man, surveying him blandly, "was the voice of Napoleon Bonaparte giving the order at the battle of Waterloo." That Was the Trouble. A Wichita man was fussing because of his aching teeth. "Why don't you go to a dentist?" asked one of his friends. "Oh, I haven't got tbe nerve," was the reply. "Never mind that." replied tbe friend. "The dentist will find the nerve all right." Kansas City Journal. Literary Analysis. "Shakespeare's works are marvelous revelations of poetry." "Poetry r echoed the Baconian scornfully. "They are merely a collection of ciphers, with some figures of speech thrown in to make them harder." Washington Star. Hie Wise Plan. "I never have any luck." "Neither do I." responded the other citizen. "Therefore I keep out of enterprises requiring gobs of luck to be a success." Louisville Courier-JournaL CALLED TO BEDSIDE. County Clerk Harry E.

MOON WAS UNDER A CLOUD. An Incident ef the Theater In the Earlier Days. Early in tbe season of 1850-7. said J. M. Barron, the veteran actor, we were in Petersburg. Va at old Phoenix hall. The business was such that nightly long rows of nile green seats could be seen from the stage. In those good old times tbe utility people did not get more than $200 a week. The leading people received due bills on the next good house. We bad in the utility contingent n Ute named Moon, and a brigbt Moon be was, but he was so lacy his shadow would not follow bim. He was often late. The star was Charles Couldock. and those old timers who can yet sit up on an even keel may remember that C. C. could do cuss poetry in four colors when riled, even if it were not in his contract. We were rehearsing "The Willow Copse." and Moon's cue came, but no Moon shoe? up. The call boy started with a shout. "Mr. Moon!" The prompter called. "Mr. Moon!" Three Utes away up stage joined In, "Mr. Moon, this is you; stage is waiting." No Moon. Couldock began to pace from tormenter doors to L. 4 E. No Moon. Finally Couldock bawled out; "Where is that Moon that utility idiot? Always late and doesn't know his cues when he bears them." No Moon yet. It appeared that Mistress Moon bad presented tbe old man with a fine daughter a new Moon. Tbe father Moon went out to celebrate with the boys and later on was wheelbarrowed home a full Moon. New York Telegraph. LETTERS ARE ISSUED. Widow of Herbert Bell Named as Administrator of Estate.

OLD POVVDERHQRNS. They Were Once Important Implements of Warfare. TREASURED AS HEIRLOOMS. Handed Down From Father to Son and From Friand to Friend Engraved and Ornamented, They Were Used ae Gifts Instaad of Jeweled Swords. Modern Inventions have robbed warfare of much of Its romance and tbe soldier of much of bis old time ptcturesqueness. Although tbe powderborn as an implement of war disappeared long before tbe magazine gun of today was dreamed of. it wasn't so very long ago. as a matter of fact, that men were carrying powderhorns. Some of the soldiers in the Mexican war. for example, used them. Tbe powderhorns carried ,by the fighters in tbe early days of this country were often of comparatively simple workmanship, but tbey were cherished and handed down from father to son and from friend to friend. Strange to say. though cherished In this manner, collectors have bad a very hard time in locating any great number of tbe powderhorns used in this country, and this In spite of tbe large numbers used in tbe seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. In the French and Indian war the English and Americans carried 10.000 powderhorns. It has been estimated, to say nothing of the number carried by those on the French side. In tbe Revolution there were, according to tbe best estimates, about 10.000 powderhorns In use In tbe American army without counting those on the British side. The European troops had long discarded them, of course, but their colonial allies naturally were equipped with them. A few years ago Isaac J. Greenwood presented to the New York Historical society a collection of water color pictures of powderhorns ho had found still in existence. Although tbe search was prosecuted with great diligence, tbe number of powderhorns actually located and sketched was not much more than 400, showing how quickly the horns bare been disappearing. Powderhorns are supposed to have come into use almost simultaneously with the invention of gunpowder. A way bad to be found to carry the powder and keep It dry. and men quickly found that there wasn't anything better or cheaper In mediaeval times for this purpose thsn the horns of an animal. They were in general use In the sixteenth century and were brought to this country by tbe first settlers. The oldest horn whose picture appears in the collection was found near Schenectady, N. Y. and bears the date of 10S3. It was generally tbe borns of tbelr own cattle tbat tbe farmer fighters of America used. Tbe loss of a born in nowise impaired tbe usefulness of tbe animal, and bulls frequently were called upon to make tbe sacrifice. Such borns were easily obtained and wouldn't rust and could be carried in the rain and through streams without the powder in tbera getting wet. Tbey were always worn under tbe left arm by a strap tbat went over tbe right shoulder, tbe curve la tbe born conforming to the shape of tbe body and serving to keep It out of tbe way of tbe wearer. There was a stopple In tbe small end. and without being unslung tbe powder could be poured Into the right hand and thence Into tbe gun. Boiled, scraped and cleaned and colored with au orange or yellow dye. wblch was tbe way most of tbe powderhorns were prepared, tbey lent themselves more readily to ornamentation by tbe owner than did any other part of bis equipment, and It Is this fact which bus made tbera particularly Interesting as historical relics. Admiring friends in tbe days wben powderhorns were in general use Instead of presenting a hero with an engraved sword gave him a finely decorated powderborn. Sometimes tbe borns were made to order and tbe engraving done by professionals. Many of these borns were beautifully colored, tbe most popular shade being a sort of orange tint. Perhaps tbe most remarkable examples of tbe engraving are to bo seen on the geographical horns whose pictures appear In tbe Greenwood collection. These geographical borns took the place of pocket maps for the early pioneers. They were the work of professional engravers In places like New York and Boston. Some of the borns In the collection contain practk-ally complete maps of the old trails and waterways. ne of the best of these bears tbe date of 1767 and shows New York with Its harbor filled wltb shins and New fork state as far ns Lake Champlain and Ontario. Tbe Hudson valley, wltb its settlements, appears on most of tbe geographical horns discovered. One born shows tbe country between Ellzbet Mown and Pittsburg, each little settlement being carefully noted.

It was the North woods Indians who led tbe white race acmes tbe upper wilderness trails and helped that ram to get and to bold Its footing there.
