Mr. Goslington's Experience That

HIGHEST HONORS PAID POET
Who Wouldn't Feci Pleasure at Hav
ing to Secure Larger Safe-Deposit
Box for Liberty Bonda and
Other Valuable!?
"I nerrr ulj have thought It,"
Mid Mr. h1Iii1ii, "hut I've had to
get a Mfc-giT safe-di'postt box.
"IU'fore the great war 1 had a niod
et check account, auj a little fund
atoned away In a savings hank tor
emergvncles, but no safe-deposit box,
larp or small. 1 bad do use for one,
I hud no stocks or bonds to keep In
one; hut when the war came and we
all began bufing Liberty bonds it was
different. I didn't want to keep even
the little bonds that represented my
Initial Investment lying around la a
bureau drawer or stored away In a
trunk, so I rented a safe-deposit box.
I had often read the advertisements
of the safe-deposit companies telling
of how little you could get a box for,
and from that on up, pleasant read
ing always, suggestive of wealth and
coupon cutting, and that sort of
thing, and now the time hud come
when I needed a box myself; and it
was a very pleasant reflection. I
guess you know the size box I took.
"fftlll. I thought that box would be
plenty big enough for me. I hadn't
many bonds to put In, yon under
stand ; but, do you know, as soon as I
got the box I found that I had some
other tilings that really belonged in
it; Insurance policies and some other
papers and documents that were of
value to me lor financial or other rea
sons; and so while the bonds didn't
begin to take all the room I soon
found that my little box was packed
so that I had to crowd the cover down
to get It to close.
"And I will admit that the safe
deposit experience, was a lot of fun
to me. It was a real pleasure to me
to have my box politely hauled out
for me from Its deep pigeon hole in
the safe-deposit vault; and it was a
pleasure to be shown to a cubby hole
with a door that I could close, and
where I found a desk and pens and
Ink and paper and shears and coupon
envelopes and so on ; It was a pleasure
to be a safe-deposit customer, and I
certainly did smile when I uso1 those
shears for the first time, cutting off
coupons.
"Then the time came when, as I
bought more bonds, and what with the
other stuff In It, the box was so full
that they bad hara work to crowd It
Into Its pigeon hole and hard work
to pull It out, and then I simply had
to buy a bigger box, and that was fun,
too.
"Of course, you know I did not now
buy a large safe, or a room with
shelves around to store my bonds on;
nor did I have to hire a scissors sharp
ener to keep my coupon shears sharp
so that my clerks would not be de
layed In cutting the coupons. I may
come to that, why not? Stranger
things than that have happeued to
other people, and I don't know why
they might not harpen to me. But
meanwhile It was a satisfaction to me
to reflect that I had at least outgrown
the little box, even though for the
time being I might be able to get
along nicely with one Just the next
size bigger." New York Sun.
Jazz.
Those of us who have fancied that
our "Jazz" originated In Uganda or
among the Igorrotes are, according to
the latest newB, quite wrong. Le
Matin of Paris maintains that the Jazz
band idea originated In Paris 120
years ago. "In those days as well as
now," It says, "people did not know
what to do to amuse themselves; so
they made a noise. Those who had
a great taste for noise went to the
concerts of the cat orchestra. There
were 20 cats with their heads In a
row on the keyboard of a harpsi
chord. The performers by strikins
the keys worked a device which pulled
the cats' tails, causing a caterwaul
ln which" Le Matin feels would
leave ns Americans little musically to
desire. Is this an attempt to discred
it us at the peace conference? The

Tribute to tha Lllae.
The lilac has no place In mortuary
annals of man. It is not a flower for
the graveyard. It Is a flower for the
freshening of thought, the lightening
of life and the creation of the Ideals
of living. It is the flower of all other
that belongs to the borne and ta the
heart and to the years that are gone
and the years that are to be. Happy
the wall where the lilac blooms!
Happy the window through which Is
wafted the lilacs' fragrance! Brief
the period of the flowering of this
bloom of all others In the liking of
all who love that which Is old-fashioned
and that Is ever new. Balti

"The Faery Queen."
As a work of art "The Faery
Queen" at once astonishes ns by the
wonderful fertility and richness of
the writer's Imagination, by the facil
ity with which he finds or makes lan
guage for his needs, and above all, by
the singular music and sweetness of
his verse. The main theme seldom
varies; It Is a noble knight, fighting,
overcoming, tempted, delivered ; or a
beautiful lady plotted against, dis
tressed, rescued. The poet's affluence
of fancy and speech gives a new turn
and color to each adventure. But be
sides that, under these conditions
there mast be monotony; the poet's
art admirable as It is, gives room for
objections. . . . There was loose
ness and carelessness, partly belonging
to his age, rartly his own. In the use
of materials, nothing comes amiss to
him. He had no scruples as a copy
ist. He took without ceremony any
piece of old metal word, story or Im
age which came to his hand, and
threw It Into the melting pot of his Im
agination, to come out fused with his
own materials, often transformed, but
often unchanged. The effect was
sometimes happy, but not always so.

To Preserve China.
Many a lover of fine china has been
heartbroken to discover her choice din
ner or tea set lined with halrllke
cracks. Hot tea or chocolute poured
Into dainty cups cracks them Instantly.
A Chinese merchant gave this bit of
information when a rare tea set was
purchased from him. "Before using
delicate china place It In a pan of
cold water. Let It come gradually to
the boil and allow the china to remain
In the water till cold." This tempers
the china, and it Is capable of with
standing the sudden expansion caused
by the heat. There Is no need of re
peating the treatment for a long time."
Flower Show Old Institution.
The flower shows of Enslish villages
have nn ancient origin, though few
people may ever stop to give the mat
ter a thought. The ancestry of the
floral fete reaches back to the days of
Ovid, the poet. As for when flower
shows were first held In England, It
cannot be certainly known, but It Is a
fact thnt if they did not actually In
troduce them, the worsted manufac
turers from Flanders, fleeing the
wrath of Philip and Alva. In ir.07, gave
a fillip to the practice. To these peo
ple E'lirlish gardens of Elizabeth's
time owed such favorites as the gilly
flower n: id the carnation. '
Some Logic In His Protest.
A trnod story "was published In Le
Figaro in connection with the news
that a monument Is being erected at
Tarnscon In memory of Alphonse Dau
det, the French novelist who has Im
mortalized that quaint town by his
"Tartarln." It seems that the town
still numbers among Its Inhabitants
persons almost. If not quite as eccen
tric as the renowned Tartarln. The
story is that a Tarasconnals recently
arrived at the local railway station
with a mule, and after purchasing a
couple of tickets, gravely led the ani
mal up the forty steps by which the
platform Is reached. On attempting
to enter a first-class compartment he
found his passage barred. He waved
his two tickets Into the face of the
guard and tried to force his way In
but the official proved Inexorable. Ex
claiming Indignantly: "So many asses
travel first class thnt I fall to see why
a mule should not," the muleteer
stalked away from the train. "Flan
