THE HORNET.
Samsos, he wuz a mighty good man,
" Bat ez much ez yo' mav scorn
Him an' Sullivan Iwfe tergedder
Couldn't win out frura a hornet.
Dressed up in his little gray suit,
He stands er roun' some proud;
He's de littlest man ter git so much room,
But, Lawdj', ain't he loud!

Memories, like bread cast ou the
waters, come drifting back. Some
times they break upon the shore
of consciousness with luuj?httr aud
gaiety;, again 'tis with a muau as
on days when clouda hauR low
along the main $he breakers com
plain and die, cursmg a fate they
know ;iot of. In either case they
are a potent factor in life. Poet?
have snug of them and world
heroes hava known them. Alexan
der remembered his past achieve
ments and wept because there
were uu mure wuriuo iu tuuuoi,
and Napoleon stood upon the deck
of the ship that bore him to St.
Helena, his feet apart and his
hands clasped behind him, looking
far out across the sea, his soul
tortured with a silent agony
springing from the memory of a
shattered dream and a waning
glory. Tennysou, the greatest sing
er or the last century, if not of all
time, read the tragedy of memory
and wrote that pregnant line,
"That a sorrow's crown of sorrow
is remembering happier things!"
And even in our own little lives
memory is often playing the lead
ing part. Whether the role be
that of tragedy or comedy depends
entirely upon the source of the
clot. The things we' look back
npon are bearers of pleasure or
pain. Should onr gaze rest npon
a rugged path sloping backward
and downward from our present
station a slope that we have
manfully climbed a deep satis
faction fills our hearts ; but should
the retrospection touch the height
of lost estate from ' which we

inefficiency, a burning brand is
set to the fl9sh. These memories t
Is there wonder ttfat some bless,
and others curse, them?
Lady Blouut.an English woman,
is coming to this couutry tor the
sole purpose of convincing a be
nighted people that the earth is
fiat. Most of us know that it is
"stale aud unprofitable," bnt any
any one who wishes us to believe
tht it is also ''flat" had best oil
up hor couvincer on the way ever
and polish her arguments nntil
they are as smooth as a mahogany
finish, or a grand-stand finish
would do, if no other variety were
convenient. A man who can be
lieve that the earth is nung out in
apaoe to dry and to famish us a
plaoe to go through the calisthen
101 of birth, life and death npon,
just as a picture or plaque is hung
upon the wall, must cenainiy have
enlargement of the. believer or a
bad case of ingrowing concession.
If the earth is flat, that puts us
on a level with the Chinaman and
the Fiji Islander. Then did Co
lumbus break the egg in vain and
sail the "ocean wide" to no pui
pose. The subsequent eveuts that
have transpired ou the continent
that he discovered are all the mis
takes of history. The fourth of
July and Washington's Birthday
are mere pretenders to the throne
of dates and the lasf World's Fair
the veriest farce.
Now, why any woman should
wish to break into the order o
things and change the ways oft
oreation is beyond the conception
of the ordinary man.
She should be satisfied with
holding the destiny of man in the
palm of her baud, aud leave the
plan of Creation alone. But she
is not so easily sated. Her thirst
for achievement aud power is only
exceeded i:i magnitude by the an
due propc- tion of her curiosity.
Such a t te only m that it has
been oft -.pea ted. It is as true, as
tBeT phyTItTte rla W9 and" it is not
meant asjlacder. For, after all,
this old f world- would not be the'
same .without her. Then mau
wuuiu uavw au extra no in nis side
and he would not be swelled with
an importance that would have no
no one to appreciate and humor it.
