"Remake the World" is a large order--too large for statesmen. Two lovers underneath the Bough may remake the world, remold it nearer to the heart's desire--or come as near to it as possible; but not a gathering of political graybeards. For better or worse the world is made; all we can do is modify it here and there. * * * THE SECOND POST [A Swedish lady seeks congenial employment.] Madam: A few days ago I were happy enough to meet Mrs. J. Hansley and she told me that you migh possible want to engauge a lady to work for you. I am swede, in prime of like, in superb health, queite of habits, and can handle a ordinary house. I can give references as to characktar. If you want me would you kindly write and state wadges. Or if you don't, would you do a stranger a favour and put me in thuch wit any friend that want help. I hold a very good situation in a way, but I am made to eat in the kitchen and made to feel in every way that I am a inferior. I dont like that. I dont want a situation of that kind. They are kind to me most sertainly in a way, but as I jused to be kind to my favorite saddle horse. I dont want that kind of soft soap. Yours very respecktfully, etc. * * * A WISCONSIN PARABLE. [From the Fort Atkinson Union.] A friend asks us why we keep on pounding La Follette. He says there is no use pounding away at a man after he's dead. Maybe we are like the man who was whaling a dead dog that had killed his sheep. "What are you whaling that cur for?" said a neighbor. "There is no use in that; he's dead." "Well," said the man, "I'll learn him, damn him, that there is punishment after death." * * * Another way to impress upon the world the fact that you have lived in it is to scratch matches on walls and woodwork. A banged door leaves no record except in the ear processes of the persons sitting near the door, whereas match scratches are creative work. Lives of such men all remind us We can make our lives sublime, And, departing, leave behind us Match-marks on the walls of time. * * * HE SHOULD. Sir: Mr. Treetop, 6 feet 2 inches, is a porter at the St. Nicholas Hotel, Decatur. Would he add anything to the landscape gardening surrounding the Academy of Immortals? W. N. C. * * * WHY THE EDITOR BEAT IT. [From the Marengo Republican-News.] Baptist Church, 7:30 p.m.--Popular evening service. Subject, "Fools and Idiots." A large number are expected. * * * Speaking again of "experience essential but not necessary," it was a gadder who observed to a fellow traveler in the smoker: "It is not only customary, but we have been doing it right along." * * *
