The
nature of man Is exceedingly
strange,
A most unaccountable thing;
It has no relation In reason or rhyme
To things that wo say or wo sing.
Our feelings arc stirred, our emotions
aroused,
By things as they seem but are not:
Man seldom Is moved by the dramas
of life,
. Hut sniffles at cinema plots.
TukeTake Blffklns, for Instance, who.
when he Is home.
Persistently fights with his wife.
And snaps at the children und kicks
at the cat,
And stirs up continual strife.
-Then watch him grow weepy and dub
nt his eyes,
And glow from his feet to his dome
When somebody pulls out the tremolo
tit op
And warbles of home, sweet home.
And then there Is Jonesey, who pinks
. with delight
When speaking of letters and art
But reads only magazines loaded with
.. rot
And shady affairs of the heart
And Smith, who on Sunday Is pious
and good,
And lowly and saintly and meek.
But revels In wickedness, folly und
sin,
, A devil the rest of the week.
Yes, man Is a creature exceedingly

the next session of congress is being

Retirement of
Associate Justice
Oliver Wendell
Holmes of Masu
chusetts is talked
of as a probability.
According to cur
rent rumors, he
will quit the bench
nt the beginning
of the fall term,
about October I.
Justice Holmes,
It is conceded, has
richly earned the right to retire. He
is 84 years old. was graduated from
Harvard in 1861, had a brilliant civil
war record, being three times wound
ed, and has served on the supreme
bench since 1902, when he was ap
pointed by President Roosevelt. In
pite of his advanced' age Justice
Holmes Is keen of mind and has long
been known as one or the courts
hardest workers. Latterly lie has
seemed not as robust as usual, but at
the same time he has kept up IiIb end
of the judicial duties in a manner to
cause younger men to marvel.
In view of the age of Justice Holmes
It has been repeatedly rumored In re
cent years that he "would retire. How
ever, the work of the bench Is becom
ing Increasingly burdensome.
Thus far there is only vague specu
lation as to who would succeed him.
Undoubtedly democratic leaders would
urge on the president the appointment
of a democrat, on the ground that the
party Is entitled to another member
the court. This would bring up
such names as those of Senator Under
wood nnd former Sonator Shields of
Tennessee. It would be discretionary
with the president, however, whether
he would name a republican or a
democrat.
