"WHEN 'OMER SMOTE 'IS BLOOM
IN* LYRE."
There was a time when the public
would wrinkle up 1U brow and worry
through three columns of dry editorial
profundity In the newspapers and
make believe they liked it. In those
days an editorial that dealt with any
thing but the tariff or money ques
tions was not an editorial at all and
waa only fit to go into the department
columns where everybody read It.
The editorial page was a sort of
Ark of the Covenant and couldn't be
looked Into by anybody but the elect.
It was too dignified to get on speak
lug terms with and when one did get
a letter of introduction the sensation
dried up the fountains of his intellect
for a week. Humor was blasphemy.
Dry rot was rated high in proportion
to its aridity. Thunderous sentences
choked comprehension and every Idea
was birth-strangled with statistics. X
body read editorials but mathematical
prodigies and hydrocephalics (which
means soup on the coco.)
Compare those Horace Greeley edi
torials with the modern article. One
of the Improved 57-variety kind, whiili
reads something like this:
"The picture of a Rockford sock by
our exclusive artist which appears ex
clusively on our front page today,
tells a pathetic story.
Some mother's boy wore that sock.
In a country village, long ago. he
tearfully listened to her choking 'Go
o-hod bleehue' and drawing on the tar
riff-protected bunion irritator he wore
it until he got hoof-rot and discard
ed it together wia mother's advice,
and became a rah rah freshman with
pink lisles and a pinker thirst.
Reader think.
Think of the rum tra'?c. The con
servation policy. The tariff fed gour
mands. The sock barons.
Some day your boy may inherit
your socks and your thirst."
Compare the two styles of editorials
and you will see where Greeley and
Dana fell down. ? Ketchikan Miner.
YOUTH AND AGE.
When an old man tires of the long,
long road, and weeps like a house
afire, when he says he's sick of the
heavy load, that rest is his one de
sire, then the most of the boys can
sympathise; they know how an old
man feels; and they brush the tears
from his streaming eyes, and take him
with sundry wheels. When a young
man gives of his griefs and cares a
wearisome catalogue, when he rails
at fortune, and rants and swears,
then 1 always call the dog. Oh. an
old man's grief is a solemn thing, and
1 pity his drooping head; for an old
man's hopes have all taken wing, and
an old man's dreams are dead. But
a young man's moaning and tears ?
gee whiz, are shameful and weak, in
truth; for the greatest gift of the
gods is his? the glorious boon of youthi
? Walt Mason.
What an influence the weather has
upon our moods. At best we are but
human barometers. It is easy to
cherish a grouch when the skies are
clouded and the rain falleth alike up
on the just and the unjust. But
. when the heavens are blue and serene
when the distant mountains stand out
like carved cameos against the hor
izon and the air tastes like wine, then,
then we thrill with the Joy of life
and we again greet one another with
smiles.
Peary must think that It's a case
ol too many Cooks spoiling the broth.
For every one that asketh receivet?
and he that seeketh fludeth;
and to him that knockcth It ahull bo
opened. ? Matthew, 7 ? 8.
"Oho!" they cried, "The world
Is wide.
But fettered limbs go lame!
And once or twice to throw the dice
Is a gentleman's gume,
But he does not win who plays
with Sin
In the secret House of Shame."
? Oscar Wilde.
