He Imagined his battles long be­
fore the first gun o f conflict sounded,
and though he dwelt on victory he
saw In his Imagination Waterloo as
plainly as Marengo or Austerlttz.
Swifter than light the Imagination
travels In an Instant of time to the
outermost star of our universe and
returns as quickly as It went.
It defies time and annihilates
space.
It disregards probability and over­
looks all laws.
it has pioneered every progress
that man has made since the world
began and multiplied his happiness
aud his Ills alike.
It Is one function which man pos­
sesses which he does not share with
forms of life lower than himself.
There are many animals who give
proof of having
the power of
thought, even of reason.
There Is not one that has ever
shown the slightest evidence of be­
ing able to Imagine anything outside
of something It has already experi­
enced.

SAT the other day In the studio
of a great artist and watched him
as he made ready to begin a picture.
As he placed the canvas upon the
easel I asked him what he was to
paint.
The answer that he made to me
was so vivid and so strikingly told
that 1 almost seemed to see upon the
blank canvas the finished work.
But I knew what I saw was only
a dim counterpart of the thing that
be saw, for In his Imagination the
whole picture was as plain In Its
form and as distinct In its colors. In
Its then mental existence, us It was
later to be to thousands of admiring
eyes.

ISCOVEUT of the fact that
the word “ tragedy" Is a
compound of two Greek words
meaning “ goat" and "song,” and
that a literal translatiou of the
original term would be “ a song
of the goat,” throws but little
light upon the modern use of
the word, until one exumtnes
the custom In vogue In ancient
Greece, particularly in connec­
tion with the production of
tragedies.
Here, though, we find that the
goat played a central role in
these entertainments. Not only
was one of the animals offered
as a prize for the best perform­
ance by the actors but, because
the goat Is very partial to eat­
ing grape-vines, and therefore
an enemy of Bacchus— the pa-
gun god of w ine In whose honor
the festivals were held— one of
them was sacritit'ed at each pro­
duction of a tragedy.
Further
to carry out the simile, the ac­
tors were dressed for tlie most
part In goat skins, because
many of them posed as mar­
tyrs, u custom from which we
obtain our word "satirical." The
singing of a solemn, melancholic
song was the signal for the sac­
rifice of the goat, and it is be­
cause of this connection that we
apply the word "tragedy” to
something which Is extremely
sad, whether on the stnge or in
everyday life.
