Smith said Cook was surely first
To stand upon the Pole.
And Brown said Peary was the man
Who won the icy goal.
Brown added then a few remarks

And Smith responded with punch
On Brown's anatomy.
Now where had Brown gained
Arctic lore
To give his views such weight?
lie once within a skating-ring
Had cut a liguer S.
And where had Smith acquired his
fund
Of information rare?
Some years ago in Central Park
He saw a polar hear.

ARE WE SAVAGES!
Are we a civilized people? Does
education make us wise and does
cultivation make us humane? Who
can answer these questions in the
affirmative who has read the ac
counts of the lynching of the negro
and the white man by the mob at
Cairo, 111., and which wen'witness
ed and sanctioned by thousands of
people, many of whom were wo
men? The reports of that awful
revel of blood are sickening in their
details. The mob was not content
with the ordinary forms of sump
tuary punishment. The negro was
taken from the bands of the officers
and draggl'd to the most prominent
street corner in the town. As he
was conveyed through the crowds
lie was beaten almost insensible. As
the rope was placed about his neck
he confessed. Women immediately
cought the end of the rope and pull
ed the wretched creature from his
feet. When lie was a few feet from
the ground the rope broke and In
fell to the street. Hero his body
was riddled with bullets and then
was dragged by the mass of fienzied
men and women to the scene of the
crime. A fire was built and tin
flame was applied by a young wo
man. Before the body was thrown
upon its pyre, however, a most
hideous orgie took place. The
dead negro’s head was cut off and
mounted upon a pole that was
stuck into the ground. The man’s
heart was torn out and cut into small
pieces, which were distributed to
the people as souvenirs. The rope
was soaked in the blood and also
cut into pieces for souvenirs, After
that the mutilated corpse was
burned.
This negro was guilty of a
dastardly crime and no doubt richly
merited death. But it is revolting
to every human sentiment of de
cency that the mob should haye
descended to such horrors in seek
ing vengeance. The women ap
peared to have take the lead. They
were transformed into veritable
furies, like those females who led
the mobs of the French revolution.
The white man who was also lynch
ed on that dreadful night had
killed his wife. His fate was a re
buke to the lagging feet of justice,
The mob was absolutely uncontrol
able. It was composed of many of
the most influential people of the
city, who for the time being were
mad with the horrid moboeraey of
elemental passion. Even a stranger
who ventured the opinion that the
white man was innocent was set
upon by the mob and beaten most
cruelly before he was rescued.
These human tigers with rending
fangs were blind with blood lust.
We lift our eyes from reading
these nerve-chilling details with a
numb sense of disillusionment.
What is this humanity that the
children of men have striven for
down the track of the centuries? Is
there, after all, a fate atavism that
merely holds the brute within us
in suppression—and occasionally
gives leash to the captive? —Kansas

PATRIOTISM.
Patriotism manifests itself in
various ways, says an exchange.
Some people arc' willing to die for
their country and a few are willing
to live for their country —which is
much harder. Some are eager to
show their patriotism by holding a
job at a fat salary and some are
willing to vote the party ticket
straight because it is a party ticket.
Patriotism, says Walter Williams,
is often another name for pride.
The small ways in which patriotism
may l>e shown seldom attracts at
tention. A soldier attacks tl*>
enemy of his country and we call
the solder a patriot. But it is
patriotic also to cut down the weeds
on your back lot. The soldier gives
his life' in a day, but the scientist,
who gives his life in a generation is
also patriotic.
Two kinds of citizens are in ever/
town, patriots ami traitors. There"
is no middle ground of neutrality.
Every man is in one or the other
camp. The patriot does his full
duty to the community, votes, ex
presses his opinion, takes part in
meetings for the civic good and
hears cheerfully his portion of the
community's work. The traitor
lets the other fellow do the work,
and reaps benefit by the other
fellow’s patriotism. Treason con
sists of levying war against the re
j public —so says the foundation of
| law —or giving aid and comfort to
her enemies. He gives aid and
coinfort to the public who do not
assist in making better the com
munity in which he dwells. He is
himself a public enemy.
His Painful Duty.
“Mr. Soandso. vour daughter has
referred me to you.”
“Then I guess yom chances with
her are nil, young man. Referring
’em to me is her way of letting ’em
down easy.”
