To the faithful friends who have followed me here I am grateful, and express the wavering hope that they have been paid for their trouble. s e s To the most of the troops who came here with the expectation of being sent to Manila San Francisco has said fare- well. It was a farewell tinged Wwith regret. There was not when they sailed the wild enthusiasm provoked by the presence of war. The men went, not to fight an enemy, but’to the pro- saic duty which falls to troops in the time of peace. When patriotism was in the alr, flags flying, the volun- teers looked upon as heroes and welcomed as brothérs, to start away was an easy matter. There was an in- tensity of feeling which left scant op- portunity for repining. The latest boys to go were not impelled by the hope of doing valorous deeds. There was drudgery ahead of them, not glory, and yet they went without com- plaining and with cheers. The char- acteristic zest with which they set out was as indicative of high-grade citi- zenship as had been the rush and up- roar of the beginning. They went with the good wishes and good will of the city. In the months they were here they behaved well. Individuals had been guilty of indiscretion, but as a body every, regiment had been a credit to the State from which it came and to the great country over which floats the flag all were ready to defend. Even the roystering observed should not be too heavily charged against the sol- diers. They treated others better than they were treated. Many of them reached here poorly clad, shoeless, un- equipped. They were put in a camp swept by winds, which brought death from the ocean, where there was no drainage, and illness was soon the common portion. Many and many a time were there det=ils whose duty it was to fire a volley over the grave of a comrade. All were bitterly disap- pointed that instead of being hurried to the front they were to be detained in camp for an indefinite period. The first payday was long in arriving. It found the volunteers homesick, weary of a new and strange routine, with the glamour gone from military life. When at last they got their money harpies flocked about them. They were lured into deadfalls, robbed by men and woman, plied with whisky unfit for use in doctoring a sick horse.. No wonder there was an occasional disturbance. It was natural enough that after having been victimized the soldiers should have visited some of the haunts of crime and cleaned them out, with the breaking of heads and ture. The ladies of the Red Cross were to the volunteers from the start as minister- ing angels, and were appreciated. Of- ficers were received in the best homes of the city, and lastl friendships formed.

By HENRY JAMES. aaauuasauauufiufi/flu PRIV BRBRNSS | South respond, ‘“We know it.” and % & g 8 e s drunk a toast to the stars and stripes. Altogether the presence of the volun- teers has had an effect in promoting fraternity, in binding sections, in let- ting the South say to the North, “There is no line between us,” and the People had become accustomed to the canvas city out toward the Golden Gate, and with a feeling of sadness note that it has vanished. They miss the picturesque parades, the tramp of armed men, the thunder of galloping hoofs. And whenever sounds the bugle note among the Presidio hills it recalls to tender memory those who have gone. ... Among the poems of the year is that of Mrs. Rose-Soley, “How We Took Khartoum.” It was published first in The Call and almost simultaneously in the London Speaker, having since been extensively copied. I make no pre- tense of belng a critic able to analyze a poem and give to each characteristic phrase a technical name, but reading verse which has the stamp of genius I recognize the stamp. Mrs. Rose-So- ley has been in this city for more than a year, during which time she has done much work of excellence both in poetry and prose. There is hardly a proba- bility that she will receive much ap- preciation here, but there is no reason in this circumstance why she should feel discouraged. . e e Visalia’s local lyre got thrashed the other day, but so far as may be judged its string was not busted during the operation. o Tesliie Professor Charles Eliot Norton is a traitor. It seems to me he is the most despicable citizen who finds undeserved shelter beneath the flag which most of ug respect, while others, if failing in this particular, have the grace of sllence. Norton is an open-mouthed, unthinking, wordy and noisome nuis- ance. He should be exiled. He is not fit to have a country. Yet this verbose and {rritating creature, through his connection v-ith Harvard, is able to se- cure an audience and his treasonable rant is put upon the wires every time he has a fresh spasm of disloyaity. Occasionally it is a pleasure to analyze the mistaken utterances of a man and point out to him pleasantly the error of his way. To argue with Norton or about him would be a waste of time and space. I would not even go to the trouble to cite his childish flapdoodle and refute it. There are plenty of sane men with whom to enjoy contention. e e e An exchange remarks that there are several thousand words in the English language which have no rhymes to them, and cites the fact to prove that the poets, of whom he is a distin- guished one, have ‘troubles of their own. I withhoid sympathy. In the first place there are not several thou- sand words so blessedly constituted that the rhymster cannot monkey with them, and if there were there would still remain more than he could put to good use. A poem devoid of a central thought wiu 1.0t appeal to the mind. ‘When the poet grabs a thought and cannot find melodv and lilt upon the bosom of which to set it afloat let him turn it pver to somebody who is con- tent to write prose and sell it at space rates. al e e Religious papers representing certain sects are discussing with some anima- tion the custom of tithe-giving. There seems to be a tendency to decry it, and this tendency is worthy of encourage- ment. On the basis of devoting a cer- tain proportion of income to charity and good works the burden will fall upon those whose incomes are small. The rich would object to it on princi- ple. Let the amount to be exacted from them assume the form of a defi- nite tax, and to evade it would not be regarded as a sin, but an evidence of financial acumen. People who feel like giving will give, and those who don't won’t, and that's all there is to the matter. A current bit of newspaper gossip is that a South African nabob is having constructed a bicycle for which he will pay $275,000. This he intends to pre- sent to his wife. Probably the story is untrue, but if true, I hope the lady will accept the wheel, get a divorce and marry somebody whose brain pan is not filled with mush. = s Now that biographies of the Rev. John Hall have ceased to float through the dally prints, I would like to ask what Christ and his disciples would have done with the $50,000 income of the late preacher. It interests me to speculate how they would have fitted their environment if with sandaled feet they had strayed into the splendid edi- fice where rich men sat sedate while their thoughts turned to the market, and rich women bowed heads adorned with the latest in millinery. I do not think that, save for a divine prescience, they would have knogwn what sort of a place they had struck. Certainly there would not have been in the surround- ings any suggestion of meekness and lowliness. It is the blessed privilege of each to participate in such form of worship as may to his own conscience seem good. Perhaps there is warrant for all the magnincence and flubdub. I certainly do not venture to say it is not the highest and best as it is the most comfortable and stylish method of offering praise and petition. Yet it can hardly be believed that the fisher- men of oid, wandering by the sea of Galilee, and each touched with the gift of prophecy, ever looked forward seeing the gosp'el uo. bea.utlt\my staged. It 1s a pleasure to note that the Searchlight of Redding has grown away from a condition which it de- scribes as plematic. I have not been able to ascertain what this condition is like, but evidently it is less satisfactory than the one which has been reached, and therefore congratulations are freely tendered. A, e Perhaps if the editor of the Davis- ville Enterprise were to think again he would not say this: ‘“There are not enough quiet, womanly women in our country to-day to supply the demand that exists for them, and the men are compelled to take what there is, or go without.” I am not conscious of any thrill of sympathy for the poor men suffering for lack of worthy compan- jonship. In fact, it seems to me that women in becoming wives run risks even more serfous than fall to the lot of the male who, with fear and tremb- ling lest he draw a blank, permits him- self to be coaxed to the altar. If the average wife is not better than the av- erage husband, more faithful to her vows, more devoted to the home life in which she becomes a central figure, my study of human relationship has led to wrong conclusions. When a man mar- ries, the likelihood is that he will get somebody too good for him, and if he is worrying about the possibility of awarding his precious self to a woman not deserving of the honor, let him calm his fears. The woman also takes chances. However, the Davisville edi- tor may be in a measure excused. He had been inspired to write by having read of the females who wear belts made of humx.n -kx.n. An Bastern woman, who having wit- nessed a game of college football, was so horrified that she changed her will and cut out a legacy of $5000 intended for the Institution, was too severe. She should have diverted the fund so as to have it employed to equip a hospital % waee Here is a gem. I have quoted from the same singer before, but in this in- stance his Muse seems to have been gingered up anew: A RESTLESS CHAP. Behold him as he struts about With hands stuck in his pockets; And note how his eyeballs do squirm About within cheir sockets. I cannot forbear calling attention to the nicety of thought, construction and phrase. The third line particularly is a thing of beauty and would be a joy forever if one did not forget it sooner. The poetry in the idea of eyeballs which so squirm, gets into the soul. They accomplish this squirming in their own sockets, too, which is the only seemly course. If they were, for instance, to pop out on the floor and do their squirming act there, they might not only startle beholders, but get stepped on and spoiled. s s s Now that the campaign is nearly over there will be the possibility of speak- ing of the Examiner not as the sworn enemy, but a journal to be admired. I am glad that it has outlined the na- tional policy, so that the administration can know what to do. . The Examiner has annexed Hawall, undertaken the building of a mighty navy, secured strategic bases in the West Indies, started Annapolis on the way toward being a great university, contemplates doing the same for West Point, and intends to dig the Nicaragua canal. These are not only large schemes, but the modesty of their announcement by the author and editor of them is marked by a becoming modesty, for he controls larger type than he uses in making i{t. There only remains the regret that the public is left in doubt as to what the Examiner contemplates doing with the Philippines, its instruc- tions to the Peace Commission, and whether it will bounce Alger. Not only is it modest, but sweetly mild. It has permitted Shafter to stay in the army. The running of the United States is no inconsiderable task. I do not join in condemnation of the Examiner that it should have allowed Europe to be worried by a war cloud, and Vesuvius to spout to the discomfort of the worthy peasant and the cooking of his ungarnered garden truck. No doubt when the war cloud shall have van- ished, and the lava streams cooled, we will learn that the Examiner did it all. It is not the sort of sheet to be toot- ing its own horn in advance. &7 e A writer in Good Health has had the goodness to conmsider at much length the stomach as a factor in evolution. She remarks that primitive man lived on raw fruits, nuts and simple grains, and in this characteristic seems to find something to admire. Primitive man is also to be admired that a prehensile tail enabled him to dangle from a limb. It may be that we should envy the state. where he had advanced suffi- clently to wear a breech clout on full dress occasions. As a matter of fact, primitive man ate what nature, unas- sisted, provided, simply because he had not sense enough to prepare anything else. For man to go back now to the diet he endured while emerging from monkeyhood would be as idlotic as for him to climb a tree and chatter. I be- lieve that writers who tell other peo- ple what they should eat are guilty of more absolute and inexcusable silliness than any other writers in the world. Let them regale themselves on berries or moss, craunch the succulent bark, distend their inwards with the grass of the fleld as another crank did; but.why can’t they attend to their own business and allow a person intellectually so equipped that a monkey bill of fare fails to 1 to him swallow in peace that which suits him? The writer here- inbefore mentioned says primitive man had no tuberculosis, appendicitis, tooth- ache or any of the ills which tend to shorten life to-day. But he's dead, isn’t he? Possibly he expired of joy at real- izing the perfection of his dietic sys- tem, .or of pain at the thought that some time his posterity would assume to break aWway from the regimen so sat- isfactory to a low-browed Simian fresh from the jungle. As to the passing ills this primitive pattern of gustatory virtue may have suffered, I do not ses how the writer in Good Health knows. The primitive chap, among the other advantages vouchsafed him—and fully as much to be grateful for as being able to dine off nuts—had the joy of being illiterate. Unless there happened to be perpetuated the impression of his heel in the mud, he neglected to leave any record, and even this impression could hardly be construed as a personal mem- orandum of his primitive emotions. However, for the people who enjoy be- ing told what to eat, the person will- ing to tell them is a boon. cor myself, I have never happened to know any of these theorists who were not erratio and dyspeptic semi-lunaties, full of aches and pangs as of fool notions.
