Take the lid from off your heart and lot me see within; Curious I, and Impudent, a rugged man of sin. - And yet I hold you truer than -would president or priest; I put my bowl against your lip and seat you at ray feast; I probe your wound and cbafe your limbs and get my gods to see That you are strengthened as we fare the forest and the lea. Strike hands with me the -glasses brim, the sun is on the heather And love is good and life Is long and two nre best together. Richard Wightman. It is strange how mortally afraid some people seem to be of "tainted" money. In olden times people were a great deal more philosophical about this matter. "Non olet," said the Roman statesmen, and they took money wherever they could extort it. Conzresman-elect Wiley, of New Jersey, seems to be particular- lly afraid of contamination by coming in contact with "tainted" .... ...... j greenbacks or yellowbacks. He proposes to introduce a dui hi congress providing that all used bills returned to the United States treasury for redemption be destroyed and new bills be issued in their place. Standard Oil money should be disinfected before it is turned over to the treasury. It might become a source of great danger to official circles in Washington. Somebody will be suspecting Major Squier, of the signal corps, of being more bloodthirsty than Hobson, if he continues to express regret that this was the only power at The Hague conference that signed the egreement prohibiting the dropping ; of explosives from balloons in time of war. FAME IS TRANSITORY Men who have had the most fighting experience say our battleships are as good, or a little better, than any afloat of the same type, and we are perfectly willing to let it go at that, even if the hammer bunch cannot be silenced. It is not pleasant to contemplate the evanescence of fame. It makes one shudder to think of the sacrilege of grinding the mummey of some ancient Egyptian king into powder to be used bs a pigment or Caesar's body, "turned to clay," used to close a bunghole.' It gives a shock to one's bump of reverence to see a gown that once adorned some world-famous queen dragged ovor the rough boards of a stage by some cheap actress. The sale of a great man's personal effects is sadder and more de pressing than his funeral, Sentimentalism is not a prominent American characteristic. A great man may die, his death may mean a great loss to the country or to the world in general, but beyond the passing of memorial resolutions and more or less pomp displayed at his funeral, the American public pays no further tribute to his mem ory. In some cases a monument is erected "in honor" of the! great departed, provided he had been a general, a governor or a 1 distinguished politician.
