It is now timo to cover the kettle with
the lid, and. to turn down the gas
just low enough so that the mush will
keep boilng a little and sputtering un
der the lid, but will not burn.
"Then lot the man go and shave or
complete his dressing. That will take
him fifteen minutes; and at the ond
of that timo, on returning, ho will find
tho mush still sputtering, but perfect
ly coolied and ready to be eaten.
It is then and always a food fit for
tho gods. Sugar is an insult to it.
Cream is not. It will never pall. But
delegate its preparation to a hireling,
and it instantly resents tho slight by
becoming lumpy and rank.
"There are many other delicious
foods that can be made of corn meal,
but each one of them is another story."
The southern people are more ad

cakes, corn mufilns, hominy, mush and
other products ofScorn than any other
people and the further they get away
from it by the use of other cereal prod

"Songs of the People," by J. A. Ed
gorton. Cloth, 220 pp. Denver: Tho
Reed Publishing company. T?ho poet
of the people is one of tho most effec
tive ministers of progress. Histor
ians rarely take note of his work; nor
is his far-reaching influence recognized
by conventional critics, who affect a
contempt for singers whoso imagina
tion soars not on eagle wines of eeii-
ius or whose phrasing sometimes lacks
mo uej.L luuuu ojl iue scnooiman. Ana
yet the people's poet, singing the high
hopes, aspirations, and dreams of' jus
tice, freedom and fraternity into the
brain of tho masses changes the
thought-world of millions of people,
calling into life high, fine ideals that
henceforth become life-molding influ
ences and in a real though subtle way
exalt the race and further true civili
zation. Burns has done more for human
amelioration and enduring progress by
his songs of the common life than any
score of popular dilettante poets who
have basked in the favor of conven
tionalism since his day. The songs of
Burns became an inspiration to Mack
ay and Massey, and these in turn, no
less man Burns, kindled the ethical
fires in the roet-soul of our own .TnmAa
G. Clark and other popular singers of
our time and tongue; while all the
time the ethical lyrics of. the . simple
singers ofthe common life are filling
the narrow and prosaic thought-world
of the millions with high dreams of a
nobler life and a truer order to which
all that is best in civilization Is tend
ing. Among the youngest and sweetest of
our simple singers of the common lot
is James A. Edgerton, of the editorial
staff of the Rocky Mountain. Daily
News. Mr. Edgerton !s a true apostle
of progress, a man of high ideals and
noble impulses; and, what is more,
he Is true to his convictions, ever striv
ing to help tho people into a broader,
freer, and mor- joyous day. Few sing
ers of ethical and progressive lays
, have had their verses so widely quoted
m recent years as Mr. Edgerton; and
his numorous admirers will learn with

"Tho Power of Truth." William
George Jordan, the author of "Tho
Majesty of Calmness," has issued,
through Brentano's Publishing House,
New York, another little book en
titled "The Power of Truth." it will
be welcomed by those who have read
his former volume. The following
chapter titles show the scope of tho
work:
The Power of Truth.
The Courage to Face Ingratitude.
People Who Live in Air Castles.
Swords and Scabbards.
Tho Conquest of the Preventable.
The Companionship of Tolerance.
The Thincs That Come too Late.
The Way of the Reformer.
The first sentence illustrates the
writer's style of argument. It reads:
"Truth is, the rock foundation of
every great character. It is loyalty to,
the right as we see it; it is courageous
living of our lives in harmony with
our ideals: it is alwayspower."
Such books are of more lasting value
than the great mass of current liter
ature that enjoy3 an ephemerel pop
ularity. "The Power of Truth" is
commended to the readers of The
Commoner.

Plrf Might Have Caused War
London Trnr.h rnpnlla o nurlnnn fnu
of the Falkland islands which might
nave caused war between England and
the United States, but which is now
quite forgotten.
On one of the main islands is Stan
ley, wnere me governor and a few
British reside. The islands produce
grass, turnips and pigs. These pigs
used to be much sought by American
whaling captains. The governor al
ways insisted that they were British
property. The captains insisted that
they were wild pigs. During the Cri
mean war an American whaler appro
priated a p.-, and then put into Stan
ley, ma governor classed the pig as
British, and when the captain Tefused
to giv it up fmprisoned him.
A few days later an American ship
of war put into Stanley under the com
mand of Captain Lynch. The captain,
hearing that an American citizen had
been clapped into prison by the gov
ernor, demanded his release, asking
the governor, if unprepared to comply,
to remove his women. -,nd children, as
the town would be bombarded. The
governor released his prisoner, and
presumably the pig, and sent an ac
count to the colonial office, and the
British legation at Washington was
directed to insist- upon an apology
Mr. Marcy, secretary of state, ex
plained that Lynch was nervous be
cause he had had domestic trouble.
Britain could not' accept this excuse,
but dropped the. discussion, for with a
war with Russia on her hands it was
just as well not to get Into hot water
with, the United States.
