OVER THE PLATE.
Bill Jones had the speed of a cannon ball;
He could loosen a brick from a three-foot wall.
When he shot one across, it would hurtle by
Too swift for even the surest eye.
No one could hit him when he was right.
As no eye could follow the ball's quick flight. .
Bill should have starred in a big league role,
But he stuck to the "minors" he lacked control.
.Jack Smith had a curve like a loop the loop;
It would start for your head with a sudden swoop,
And break to your knee with a zigzag wave;
And the league's best batters would roar and rave
At the jump it took and the sudden swerve.
Shade of the boomerang! wnat a curve!
But Jack's still doomed to a "bush league" fate
He could not "get it across the plate.
Tom Brown had both the speed and curves,
A combination which jarred the nerves'.
He would steam 'em in by till they looked like peas,
And they'd take a jump from your neck to your knees.
V.nn. fkin lnut in tYta mnrat in tha inncrno hv linlc!
He had thern all in the phantom swing.
But he missed the mark of the truly great,
Poor Tom he couldn't locate the plate.
How is it with you, if I may ask?
Have you "got control" of your daily task?
Have you got control of your appetite?
Of your temper and tongue in the bitter fight?
Have you "got control" of your brawn and brain?
Or are you laboring all in vain?
It matters not what your daily role,
Have you got control? Have you got control;
It counts not what you may "have", my friend,
When the story is told at the game's far end.
The greatest brawn and the greatest brain
The world has known may be yours in vain.
The man "with control" is the one who mounts,
And it's "how you use what you ve got that counts.
Have you got "the bead ; Are you aiming straight .'
How much of your efforts "goes over the plate"?

Russia enjoys the distinction of
only European nation which lias never been
humbled on her own soil by a conqueror.
This is a unique honor and considering the
antiquity of the state it is no mean distinc
tion. The Russians are decendants of differ
ent Tartar tribes which made Uieir way west
from central Asia. They are mentioned in
(J reek history, long before the birth of Christ.
The first important mention made of them in
Roman history occurred in the year 1576 when
the Western (Jotlis appeared on the banks
of the Lower Danube and besecched the
Emperor of the East, Valens, to allow them
to cross the river and settle in Thrace, saying
that a terrible race.

cut religions of the world, Christianity was
made the state religion. This was copied
after the form in use at Constantinople and
its adoption has lux I far reaching eonscueii
pes in Russian hUtory. It ,f off Russia
from sympathy with Catholic West and shut
her out from all civilizing iiilluences that
accompanied Latin Christianity. For this
reason, coupled with the fact that they are
an Astiatie people even today, Russia has
stood alone and has had little intercourse
witli European nations.
The first severe reverses the Russian nation
experienced were ill the last part of the
Thirteenth Century when th' Mongols ravag
ed their lands. Kuhlia Khan was one of
them and they indicted the most terrible
scourge that ever befell the human race,
traversing Asia and Europe with torch and
sword. The inhabitants of Russia found
safety in the wood where they remained mi
til able to drive back the invaders.
Through all the wars that followed which
engaged nearly every nation of Europe, Hits

from his invasion of Russia and was the real
cause of his defeat at "Waterloo.

courage and valor'that characterize true sol

home, victories purchased even with small
costs, eventually means defeat.
Even if Germany should invade the Empire
she would be greeted with the same reception
as lias been given every other foe. "When
Napoleon entered Moscow the citizens fired
the town and destroyed the provisions to
make his way impossible. "When the Ger

Emerson said, "Nothing is lens perfect for
being small." Bacteria are so small that
you can't see them with the eye, unless aided
with a powerful microscope. Sweeping with
a broom populates the air with these organ

they enter the system. Ninety percent of
our diseases are dust diseases, therefore, flic

Kaiser ordered one hun
dred Socialist members
of the L'eichstag shot
for their conduct in opposing the war. Social
ism is no new thing but it is new to many
people. There is much ahull Socialism
which many people do imt know and it is th'
purpose of these articles to tell what Social
ism means. All that is asked by the writers
is an open mind and the willingness to learn.
As one Socialist said, "To agree with us you
will have to think, to disagree you will have
to think much harder."
Taking Kussia' for an esample, probably the
greatest good that will result from this war
will be the general enlightenment of the
people. Koine was a great conqueror because
she was tutored bv those
W In Oil she conquered. She
assimilated the good vir
lues of all those w ho she
subdued. The only trouble
with the people of Kussia is that they have
not mingled w ith others of their kind. Stay
ing at home cramps the brain and everyone
who evcllldes others closes himself in. The
reason that China occupies the place she
does in the rank of nations is because she has
slaved at home. No one evi r hear of a
