Tagore's Fame in India. As showing something of Rubindra- nath Tagore's fame in his native India, Ernest Rbys tells the following story in his biography of Tagore: “Mr. Montague, the undersecretary of state for India, was on one occasion riding through &n Indian forest ‘at night when he came upon a clearing where two or three men sat around the fire. Not being certain of the road,” says Mr. Rhys, “he was glad to dis- mount and rest his tired horse. Shortly after he had joined the group a poor looking, ill clothed lad came out of the forest and sat down also at the fire. First one of the men sang a song and then another. The boy’'s turn came, and he sang a song more beautiful both in words and music than the rest. When asked who had made the song he sald that he did not know, ‘they were singing these songs everywhere.' Awhile after Mr. Montague heard the words that he had used again, this time in a very different place, and when he asked for the name of the maker of the song he heard for the first time the name of Rabindranath Tagore.” - The Pioneer is the place to buy your rolls of adding machine paper for Burroughs adding machines.

King Charles’ Mace. x During the late Lord Peel’s tenure of the speakership he was informed that the mace ordered out of the house of commons by Cromwell had been dis- covered in Jamaica. On inquiry the in- formation proved to- be false, but it was found that Jamaica at one time possessed a mace presented by Charles I, which, like the earlier maces used at Westminster, has vanished. In 1677 Jamaica was overwhelmed by an earth- quake, and among many public build- ings engulfed at Port Royal was par- liament house. With the wreck disap- peared King Charles’ mace.—London Spectator. The Clarity of Macaulay. “Macaulay never wrote an obseure sentence in his life,” said John Morley, and this is partly due to his exact use of words. There is never any doubt about his meaning. Macaulay began the use of Latin words at .an early age. When four and a. half years old he was asked if he had got over the toothache, to which question came this reply: “The agony is abated.”—J. F. Rhodes in “Historical Essays.” His Luck. Tom—I wish that 1 had Alfred’s good luck. Dick—So he’s generally lucky? Tom—Lucky!

American polo players may- have to wait a year or two before they get another opportunity to display their talent against their British brothers —in sport. But in the meantime the Ameérican players are keeping in perfect trim just as if the event was to be iflayed this year as usual. The American polo authorities realize there is little chance for a match for some time, not at least until the war ends, for England is the place the next match will be staged. But the distance of the date is one of the chief reasons why members of polo teams all over the country are practicing and playing exhibition games. For when the British get ready to give battle to the Americans on the polo field Uncle Sam’s repre- sentatives are determined to be pre- pared. & And the enthusiasm with which the players have stuck to their prac- tice work, where the cheering of spectators is painfully absent and the applause of admirers lacking ar- gues well for the spirit that domin- ates the sport. The New York polo players have been keeping in condi- . tion by playing at the Meadowbrook club, where friendly rivalry has ad- ded to the sport. The same spirit is evident: in the west, as testified by the spring tour- naments in California. From reports reaching officially of the American Polo association every big polo club in the country is faithfully following the leadership of the Meadowbrook Polo club and maintaining its fighting form, to be ready when the opportu- nity for an international match pre< gents itself. As a boost to the sport Chairman Herbert of the American Polo asso- ation, has mailed invitations to all layers asking them to compete in tournaments arranged for this g general opening of the sport world to all com: Geraniums The above are ahout all in bloom.

Telephone 31 ‘What Color Is a Dandelion? ‘What color is a dandelion? That question led Richard Jeffries a search through science, art and nature, and his essay ends with the dismal wail, “There are a million books, and yet with all their aid I cannot tellthe color of the May dandelion.” The nearest he could come to it was to say “yellow- gold-orange,” which string of words suggests the gypsy name for this flow- er, “Queen’s great hairy dog flower.” It 1s sensitive in its coloring, absorb- ing from 1its neighbor and changing with climatic conditions. But no mat- ter what one calls its color it is em- blazoned on the minds of the majority as “golden,” and in this case the ma- Jority rules. It Is spring’s largess, scattered with lavish hand to rich and poor, as welcome in many cases as if it were the real five dollar piece which it so nearly resembles, and the firat dandelion will always touch the heart in much the same manner as the first robin’s netes.—Sarah Graham Morri- son in Countryside Magazine. His First Taste of Discipline. Admiral Jouett, probably one of the Jolliest seadogs our navy ever knew, once told an amusing story of his early days as a cadet. “I was a sociable youngster,” he says, “and when I went to my first assign- ment, the Independence, and saw the stars and stripes floating over it I re- membered my mother had taught me that my first duty was to the flag, so I attempted some. conversation on this line with the executive officer who had received me when I came on board and who was one of the strictest discipli- narians in the navy of that day. “‘Silence, sir!” he roared at my first question, his face red 'with anger. ‘Si- lence, sir! Who gave you permission to speak? Let me hear only six words from you, sir, while you are on this ship—*“port,” ““starboard,” “yes, sir,” and “no, sir.’’ “And this was my first discipline in the navy.” German Colors. The German flag would be a rain- bow if it included all the colors of the various kingdoms, principalities or states of the German empire. The black and white and the eagle in the German flag dre Prussian, and in the staff head corner is the canton, black, white -and red representative of the North German confederacy, which was established in 1867.
