This X statement by a now forgotten poet, is peculiarly applicable to the reaction caused by the sudden announcement from Washington that ex-President Wilson is at death's door. Yesterday Washington was immersed in a multitude of: petty squabbles,, oil scandals, cabinet and tumble between the Twcedle Does and the Tweedle Dums. It till seemed very real then, and decidedly dramatic. But today. with the tragic news from the-Wilson home, the gaudy trappings seem to fall from the agitated frames of the principal actors what looked like gaping wounds are found to be merely clever appli cations of grease paint, and tho attention of the entire country is turn ed from, opera bouffe to the genuine tragedy being enacted at iWOO S street, Washington, D. C Here is the closing chapter of a life that has certainly been for nt least four or five years, nothing but tragedy. Broken in body, but never in spirit, impaired in mind, but never in courage, ex-President Wilson has, it seems, been condemned to lie chained, a witness to the failure of all his hopes and dreams, the destruction of those ideals, those principals of human conduct which were the very foundation of his faith. , i. . t . r .. , : Whether one agreed or disagreed with Woodrow Wilson's phil osophy of things, whether one considered him wrong or right, in his political conceptions, no one can justly deprive him of that tribute, which after all is said and done, is the only perfect tribute: "1 have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept tho faith." , Every person hopes that Mr. Wilson may still live to see the fun damental principles' of his faith justified. For those fundamental principles were right. They are certain eventually to prevail. Mr. Wilson never failed in vision. His failure lay in execution, on one hand, and the fact that his rcuch was greater than his grasp on the other. In a few years when the bitterness of recent contentions have passed, it will be conceded, that Mr. Wilson did not fail the world as much as the world failed Mr. Wilson, lie suffered the supreme trag edy of being called to world leadership before his time.

' Rippling COWBOY I OMKTIMIiS I read the thrillers, when tired of Milton's odes, and ride a while with killers along the western roads. Tho cowboys found in fiction have nothing much to do but stir up useless friction and shoot a gent or two. We seldom see them doing n useful round of chores, the straying cows pursuing, or fixing ranch-house doors. They're always eallyhooting around on outlaw steeds, and shooting, shooting, shooting and pulling' movie deeds. They save the rancher's daughters when villains hold carouse, and baffle wicked plotters instead of milking cows.: Their war cries weirdly screeching they ride their pintos pink; instead of calmly teaching the locoed calves to 'drink. They are romantic hustlers, a brave and nervous crew; they shoot the cat-i tie rustlers, and shoot the nesters, too; they shoot up any smart icsi who may' wear city rags; they shoot up any parties who critici?.c their nags. ,Wc never see them sowing, or tiding useful things:' more movie fits they're throwing, and riding round in rings, i' ride with western shooters along the mountain roads; and then rejoin my tutors, and study Milton's odes.
