PERFECT DAYS

By GRACE E. HALL
NEGLECTED GENIUS
ONE of the best-known of modern
poets, 111 and destitute after a life
time of toil, announces cheerfully that
he Is emphatically not a neglected
genius.
True, he has no money, but It was
j not money that he worked for. His
fame is perhaps not as great as his
i talent merited, but he did not work
; for fame. He worked for the Joy of
working, and that was enough.
He looks back upon life feeling that
' it brought him all that he could ask.
Genius is not neglected any more
than diamonds are neglected, and for
; the same reason. This man. had he
chosen, could now be comfortably sup
plied with money.
We believe that he should have
been. Every man owes It to himself
i to gain Independence, and money
, means independence. Our poet's celeb
t rity could have been coined into
; enough cash to ease his old age, but
If he preferred to neglect his oppor
tunities it Is nobody's business but his
own.
It Is his absence of bitterness that
Is worth heeding. He has discovered,
what every other man should discover,
that no earnest effort is wasted. He
has learned that people are only too
ready to recognize genius when they
find it. and to reward it when they
recognize It.
Indeed, so keen Is the hunt for
genius that hundreds of near-geniuses

Treasury Wants Cash.
Washington. D. C After remaining
out of the money market three months
the treasury Monday announced a
-s-u- : certificates of indebted
ness, aggregating J200.000.000 and ma
turing six months from September 15.
The notes will bear 4S per cent In

tember financing programme also
contained the declaration that no fur
ther fiscal operations are contemplat
ed by the government before Decem
ber 15, when maturing certificates of
indebtedness will require new borrowing.

Chicago. Anna liusso, who has

Air Mail Test Planned.
Washington, D. C Plans for a test
lasting probably a month to determine
the feasibility of permanent establish

Postmaster-General New said Sun

No musician who Is really gifted

industrious mediocrity will sometimes
be mistaken for genius and have
riches thrust upon It.
Cast the fear that you may be n

Hp HEBE Isn't a day In the whole
round year
That Isn't a perfect day ;
Measured and trued and painted with
gold,
It glides on Its destined way ;
It is one of the gems that Is given
yuu
A pearl in life's necklace rare,
And it hasn't a scar and it hasn't a
mar
Unless you have made It there.
The sun cannot shine every day of
your life,
But the soft clouds have their
place;
If all of the hours were a glitter and
shine,
You would weary in each day's
race;
For the eyes must behold and the soul
must feel
The peace of these quiet grays.
That soften the light and refresh our
sight,
After the burning rays.
There Is beauty abundant for every
need
In everj' day of the year;
If you cannot see It, you're blind Indeed,
For beauty Is ever near ;
Whatever your lot, you may freely
share
In the paintings of earth and sky ;
They are wondrous In worth and
there's never a dearth
Of charm for the seeing eye.

Struggled Hard for Life.
Strange evidence was given by the
house surgeon at a Barrow (Eng.) hos
pital at the inquest of an eight-year-old
boy. The boy died from lockjaw
caused by falling and cutting his wrist
on a tin. The surgeon said he died
three times. He stopped breathing
twice and animation was restored
twice. The third time he stopped
breathing It was final.

?ilf
midst of a
discussion
upon some measure which en
tails the expenditure of large
sums of money In different parts
of the country for example, the
rivers and harbors btll one
member will denounce the bill
as a "poorly disguised pork-barrel",
the meaning Is at once ap
parent to anyone familiar with
American parliamentary slang,
for It has come to be the accept
ed equivalent of an attempt to
secure public ruoney for private
or semi-private purposes. A
"pork-barrel" measure, there
fore, is one which would enrich
certain districts at the expense
of the public treasury, either by
providing for costly Improve
ments or by spending money un
necessarily. To And the genesis of the
phrase we have to go back to
the earlier days of the republic,
when the majority of the citi
zens were fanners who, during
the winter, were forced to Uv
on salt pork. If their supply
was adequate and their barrels
well filled, thev said they had no
need to worry about a long,
hard winter the pork -barrel
would take care of them. In a
similar, but more metaphorical
sense, they now look to their
congressmen to take c.ire of
them by seeurtng at least a par
tlon of the "pork-barrel" legis
lation, which will lead to profits
on labor, land and supplies,
