BY EDGAR I LI FF. w I was looking Intently at the house where Ralph Waldo Emerson lived so long, and I heard the whispering of the tall pine trees in his yard. I was letting the atmosphere of old Concord soak into me, and dreaming of Concord bridge where the early revolutionary fight took place. I was thinking of that shot which "was heard 'round the world" and whose echo still stirs Russia and all the peoples of despotic government today, and aninfates the hearts of all true Americans. I was dreaming of Thoreau and Walden Pond; of the brave little woman, Louisa M. Alcott, who wrote "Little Men" and "Little Women"; of Hawthorne and his "House of the Seven Gables," and his beautiful stories,""The Gentle Boy," "The Town Pump," "The Scarlet Letter" and "The Great Stone Face." I .walked with the master spirits of this peaceful town, nestling among the eternal hills; the men and women who believed In "plain living and high thinking." How have the mighty departed! Women Take Notes. Two women came down' the Boston and Concord road, chattering and each holding a note book and pencil. They belonged to that modern class of club women who always, like old Capt. Cuttle, "make a note of it" when out on intellectual tour. "I beg pardon," said one of them to me, as I leaned upon Emerson's white gate, "but is this the home of Thomas Carlyle?" - "No, Ma'am," I replied. "It is the home of Emerson." "Oh, yes, that's what we were to visit. Let's see, he wrote "The Brook," didn't he, that goes on forever, something like that? We. must put that down Mrs. Stebblns. , You know the club will ask us all about it. And so this is where Emerson lives. I wonder if he is at home?" Emerson Not at Home. "I hardly think so," I ventured. "You see he has been dead for a long time, and you should visit his grave beside Hawthorne's, over there in .Sleepy Hollow." "Don't - forget that,- Mrs. Stebbins. They said we should report on Hawthorne, too. . He wrote lovely novels. I read his latest book, "When Knighthood was .' " "Madam," I said, "pardon me, but Emerson didn't write 'T.he Brook' nor Hawthorne the novel you began to mention. Emerson was the best mind America has yet produced and Hawthorne the father of American imaginative literature." She Loved Poetry. The other woman, who so far had not spoken, softly said: - "Of all American poets I love Rubigot the best." "Oh, yes," I replied, "you mean Omar Khayyam." "Yes, that's it." "I see that he died last spring," I said, with wicked untruthfulness. "Did you ever meet him?" "No; did you?" "Yes; I met him at Roycroft Inn in East Aurora, N. Y., last winter, when he was the guest of Elbert Hubbard." "Why, how delightful! Let's make notes of that, sure. And you really

saw and talked, with Omar What-do-

you-call-hlm?" , "Oh, yes." Dead' for Centuries. Shades of old liars of ancient days! Amar. the Persian poet, has been dead for many, many centuries! And these intellectual geese put down what I said and will go home and cackle the stuff to other geese and ganders, and that is what we call "culture." Well, what of it! I don't think the average congressional oration, recorded In the great national 'album' of stump speeches,' has any high call. And as I sit in Sleepy Hollow near the graves of Emerson and Hawthorne, there arises before me a great shadow it Is the shadow of the Puri

tan hanging over '' Boston, where I have just spent a week. Boston prides itself upon its culture, its morals, its being the "Athens of America," the "hub of the universe." It has the pride and that is all. The real glory has departed forever. It has moved West. Women are treated with less deference in Boston than any city in the United States. If you want to see real politeness to women go to Detroit. Boston .Posts Signs. In Boston they put up signs at street, subway and elevated stations, "Women and cripples first." What good does it do? You are nearly mobbed by the wild horde. The men in order to get seats in the car pretend to be infirm or crippled. On buildings you see in big letters, "Prepare to Meet Thy God," "Thou God Seest Me." "God is Our Refuge and Our Strength." At Nurembega Park on Sundays they permit the merry-go-round to operate, but the music must be surpressed, because it is the Lord's Day. They have a brass band that plays, ' "Nearer My Good to Thee" nothing else. But in that park they rob you on every hand. They charge 10 cents admission to see a couple of crippled and sick leopards, two wheezy old lions, four scrofulus monkeys and a wildcat: I would rather go to a funeral than visit that park again. Ferret Out Small Vices. Down in Boston proper they have a "Watch and Ward Society" whose business it Is to ferret out all small vices and let the great wrongs pass by. This society prosecuted and convicted four Boston book houses for selling the works of Boccaccio, and you couldn't buy the Decameron in the

city for love of money. A: large subscription was under way to endow the Boston Art Gallery, but the ploys descendants of Cotton. Mather,-who still button their collars behind, killed it by protesting against "nude art." Boston authorities forbade the exhibition of Hiram Powers's "Greek Slave" unless its legs were, clothed and, its neck, and breast hidden from view. The Watch and Ward Society, through its detectives," has persecuted and ruined a number of -very poor offenders. It is merciless to the weak and defenseless, cruel and inhuman In Its restrictions laid upon the pleasures of the poor. The New Englander can't tell a funny story. He laughs first, says it is funny, forgets the real point, has no sense of harmony on the climax, and utterly fails in his attempts. Nearly all of the great American story tellers, those " wonderful tellers of tales, come from the great Mississippi ' Valley. There (was Lincoln of Illinois, whose gift of simple narration outclasses Aesop of old. There was Mark Twain of Missouri, whose stories will live as long as

English is spoken. There was Royal Bob Ingersoll, the greatest of all orators and the best cf story tellers, also from Illinois. And Tom Corwin from Ohio had scarcely an equal as a story teller. Not only does the center of population lie in the middle states, but so does the core and, center of all true culture live there. Realize Great Change. If you leave New York or Boston and go to Niagara Falls, or to the pleasure boats on Detroit river about Belle Isle, you will realize the great change. At Niagara and Belle Isle you meet the real American people, sight-seeing with their families just common, everyday plain people, of whom Lincoln said God must have loved them, he made so many of them. They swarm from little towns, and the farms. They are quiet and unassuming, easily pleased, willing to pay a fair price for what they want. The young people ride on cars or boats, with their arms around each other, or walk down the thronged street, holding hands. May such simplicity, such sweet unconsciousness never depart from this country, America. -

Best Home Treatment for All Hairy Growths

Apply to hairy surface and after 2 or 3 minutes rub off, wash the skin and it will be free from hair or blemish. To avoid disappointment, be sure you get real delatone. Adv.

That "White Mountain" principles spare not a

single contributing element in the production of true Quality, , is strongly evidenced in Its perfection of the Solid End. The tongue and

groove '-welding," the exterior invisible blending of the diirerent sections, as well as the unyielding strength of the complete case in run

ning exterior tongue and groove opposite to a similar joining of the inner walls, produce perfection. The "glass-smooth." highly, finished surface of the Solid End offers no possible lodging place for dust and various unsanitary accumulations ; it is rather strictly, in keeping with the hard, smooth and gleaming walls of the provision compartment. The unyielding strength of the Solid End is guaranteed without the slightest reservation. In eliminating the thin panel from the ends, strength is not only increased many, many times, but insulation is at least doubled. -
