GLADNESS.

I am the elfin spirit you heard
in the springtime glade,
I am the wisp of wonder you
took for a dancing maid;
I am the dewy sparkle of the
young grasa in the spring;
I am the fairy fancy that flies
on an April wing.
I am the silver bubble you saw
on the rippling stream;
I am the childhood chatter you
heard In a day of dream;
I am the bloom on the meadow,
the delicate green of the
rye,
I am the violet morning that
blooms In a sapphire
sky.
I am the song forgotten that
slips from the vale of
sleep;
Light aa a whimper of moonlight
over and on the deep;
I am the length unmeasured, I
am the height unknown
Between the gates of the portal
and the arm-post of the
throne.

In some instances ther is a meas
ure of reason in what they say be
cause unjust measures may be pro
posed. But of course the chief troubles
are cf their own making and the pub
lic Is not responsible excepting that
by neglect it has permitted such abus
ea to arise. Overcapitalization more
than anything else Is at the seat of
present economic difficulties. Kail
roads cannot be expected to make
profits when, as many of them are,
they are capitalized at several times
their true valuation. Where over
capitalization prevails the remedy lies
In lancing the boil not in seeking
measures to make the evil permanent
But even at that it is a surprising
thing that with all the talk about the
Inability of the railroads to make
any money there is no disposition to
sell and every suggestion about gov
ernment ownership Is met with hys
terical objections. Plainly the groans
of the transportation interests are not
to be taken too seriously.
Ever since the start of the war re
ports have been frequent about bay

khow there are no
men with bayonet wounds. In other
words there has been no bayonet
fighting to speak of. There has been
some of course and the press reports
technically speaking have been true,
though eiwenlially false because pet
ty bayonet charges have been empha
sized beyond all reason because of
their spectacular features.
Unquestionably the real serious
work on both sides has been by the
various branches of the artillery. In
the big sieges the heavy guns have
done it all, so to speak. In the
trench fighting the machine guns have
bn very effective and bomb throw
ing guns have been used at the great
er distances. In the artillery branch
es both the Germans and French were
well prepared. The Germans have
done more with their siege guns than
have the French but the French field
artillery Is dd to be superior In
many respects to the German. Had
the French not been well equipped
with good modern artillery the march
to Paris would never have been
chacked.

ment the thing to do is to build up
the artillery branch. The artillery
tequires few men but they must be
trained men and there must be mod

for use. In case of war a well equip

more to this country than a stand

mere fact this country has a very
small regular army numerically speak

To begin with the beginning:
We did not whip Great Brit
ain in the War of the Revolu
tion. Great Britain was busy at
home and quit because she hadn't
the slightest idea what kind of
real estate we had here.
As for the Civil War:
In the war of the rebellion two
great mobs of the finest citizenry
that ever stepped up to the can
non's mouth went to the front
without knowledge of organiza
tion or warfare for four straight
years, and at the end the one
with the longest purse and the
greatest number of men tri
umphed. It was scarcely a war.
It was a conflict of mob organi
zation. Somehow, we had not thought ot
regarding the troops commanded by
Grant and Lee and Stonewall Jack
son and Sherman and Sheridan and
Stuart and Thomas and Longstreet as
mobs, and the great soldiers of the
North and South as mob-leaders; but
hitherto we have not had a Heistand
to illuminate our history. Sheridan,
who accompanied the Prussian Gen
eral Staff, was disposed to the opin
ion that the Union army on the
whole was superior to the German
army; but Sheridan was no such mil
itary authority as Heistand, and prob
ably knew nothing at all about armies.
The thing to do, of course, as this
Col. Heistand shows, is to turn the
whole country Into an armed camp
and make everybody do military ser
vice. Then instead of winning our
wars with "mobs,' as we have done
for nearly a century and a half we
can break our backs with military
taxes and finally be licked scientifi
cally. New Tork World. .

the following yarn: Coming out of
church after listening to a sermon on
"Married Life and Its Duties." two j
old Irish women commented on the

one to the other. "It Is, Indeed." was
the reply; "and I wish I knew as little
about the matter as he does!"

"How far can 'ou go down with

"Competent engineers say to a
depth of eight hundred feet, and to

Immediate reach is twe hundred and
fifty feet We call that our com
mercial depth, and there are wrecks
enough within that limit to keep men
working for a hundred years. The

In only two hundred feet of water."
"Suppose the treasure was shut up
in the hold of a wreck?'
. "We would blow up the wreck
with dynamite and then use the grap

great point is that the tube will allow
us to reach the bottom of the sea,

"And the same applies to bars of

Williamson. "It Is certain that gold
