The German Note UnreipoBiire.
Th text of th Oerman not Just given to
the press Indicates a reluctance to approach th
Issue raised In tb American not of May IS.
It does not meet th question raised of tb prin
ciple which the president said the United States
would "omit no act" to uphold. This Is th
neutral's rlcht to safety for its shipping and
passengers and crews on board unarmed mer
rhsntment. No question has been made of th
right of a belligerent to yitereept eommerce, to
visit vessels In transit or to capture or destroy
contraband cargoes destined for enemy ports.
It his been tacitly admitted, as in th case of
the Frye, that suspected contraband may be dis
posed of by the sinking of the vessel. But tb
lives of those on board must be saved, and. in
the esse of visitation by submarines, th com
pany of the intercepted ship must be given at
least time to take to boats. This rule of mari
time warfare is Insisted upon by th United
States.
In th replication now at hand, th Lusltanla
affair is referred to only to reiterate that th
boat was armed, and that the submarine captain
was forced to sink it or be himself destroyed.
This evasion will necessitate further representa
tion from tb United States, for Germany evi
dently doea not understand how deeply Amer
icans feel on this point.
Th proposal! for safeguarding ships carry
ing the American flag, to an agreed number, In
exchange for assurance that these vessels will
not carry contraband, would answer Mr. Bryan'
Ideas of the solution sought, but they would also
expose America to further embroilment. Tb
United States it not required by International
law to guarantee th nature of cargoes leaving
its ports, beyond th demands of strict and im
partial neutrality. .
Tb tension, which was beginning to slacken.

German note. Tb note, however,' does not in
itself warrant a cassation of correspondence.

Linei to the Limerick.
The Bee's recent limerick writing contest
developed two surprising things, first, that
there should be so much llmerlcal talent waiting
lor outlet in this nck-o'-wood, and second,
that there should still be a few people unversed
as to tb Ingredients and metrical makeup of
this essential step-ladder to the top-notches of
literary fame.
For th benefit of these last mentioned, and
to open the door wider for possible future con
tests in linguistic gymnastics, let us call atten
tion to th fact that the limerick ha a status
which entitles It to dictionary definition. Ac
cording to the Standard dictionary, which Is
newest and latest, "a limerick is a nonsense
erse of five anapestio lines of which the first,
second and fifth lines are three-stress and
rhym." Th sample form by which this
definition is Illustrated is:
There was an old man of Tobago,
Who lived on rice, gruel and sago,
Till, much to hla Mia.
His physician aaid this.
To a lea, lr. of mutton you may go.
, Th Century dictionary, compiled with great
car and learned research, submits a similar
typical example of the limerick aa follows:
There was a oun lady of Niger,
Who rod with a smile on a tiger,
Thttr returned from the rid
With -tha lady Inald,
And the smile on th fare of tha tlser.
Further Investigation Into th lineage and
antecedents of th limerick traces It back to
th place on th map of Ireland which bear
tLat nam where rhyming contests In song ar
said to have been regular feature of convivial
gatherings. The populariser of. th limerick,
however, was Edward Lear, who died In 1S8S,
after publishing two volumes of so-called "non
sense verses," because of which they are some
time called "Learlca." The title-page of Laar'a
book carries this rhyme:
There waa an old Decry down Derry,
Who loved to little folk merry;
to ha mad them a book.
And with lauahter thy shook.
At th fun of that Derry down Derry.
Incidentally it may be mentioned that Lear's
limericks for the roost part not only repeat th
earn ending In th first and last lines but, as
printed, run the third and fourth line together
giving the ocular appearance of a four-line vers
In contradistinction to th work of later limerick
artists.
The circumstantial evldenc that will tell
against those ellowstone Park bandits is their
Isck of discrimination in Including a United
states senator and a bunch of school teacher
ia their bold-up.
If plaudits bestowed by entranced admirer
all over the world were th test, Nebraska'
most distinguished citlxen wuld unquestionably
be none other than our old friend, Buffalo Bill.
Anyway, he has bad th most limericks sound
ing his praise written for him.
Not an Artful TJodg-er.
It will be noted that Mr. Bryan did not tell
th women be was opposed to female sutfrac
nor did he tell them It had his favor. H simply
told them that any body of women who opposed
the policies of th democratic party had not hi
support. Just what we are to Infer from thi
is not at all plain. Some months ago the Bal
timore platform was Interpreted at the Whit
house, and with Mr. Bryan' silent approval, as
being binding for what It did not contain on tb
suffrage question. Yet, only a llttl whll be
fore that, this earn platform was held to be not
binding for what it did contain. Aa Mr. Bryan
edited that platform before it reached th con
vention, and It was there adopted aa th work
of his brain, his double-ending on the suffrage
question at San Francisco ran be accepted aa not
novel. In bis earlier days Mr. Bryan waa open
and unreserved In his announcement of his be
lief and disbeliefs on all political questions, and
re was both dogmatic and pragmatic in his ex
ireaslons. Latterly be assumed the same air of
frankness, but he is no longer Ingenuous and he
larks tb adroitness that might b axpected from
so experienced a politician. The only good rea
son one can so for his abrupt dismissal of th
western suffragette i that -vote for women"
1U never be popular In his day la th sunny
fcouth, which he still hope to hold eolld.
A Man and His Home.
Quit a storm of debate has been aroused by
one of our correspondents, whose ldeaa of home
life do not squsr up to those of others, and The
Bee's Letter Box has swayed and staggered un
der th whirling winds of disputation for several
daya. Without going into the merits of either
sld of th argument, which has been very In
teresting In it details, attention may be called
to th fact that each man aa the head of a house
hold has In some measure the right to regulate
that bom. When hla' wife ia taken aa a real
life partner, and th two harmonise their views,
peace and order In their home is assured, and
contentment may be assumed. At any rate,
home la a plac to be governed from th Inside
and not from the outside. If a man invites
criticism by divulging th secrets of his menage,
It Is his own fault, though he may be entitled
to that decent regard for his own opinion that
Is the common right of all. Horn is yet a llttl
kingdom, apart from ail th jest of th world.
Lovers of sartorial decoration s"nd animated

That Alfred C. Kennedy had a wonderfully wide
cirri of friend In Omaha was attested by the large,
outpouring of people at hi funeral. 1 had been as

I could not help recalling tha larg number of old
library board membera who hava rassed away within
a short period of tlma Elijah Dunn, Harry P. Du:,
Wllllfltn Wallace, and now Mr. Kennedy, all In com
paratively few month. i wa also specially im
pressed by the emphasis Dr. Jenk laid on tha valua
ble ervtee unselfishly rendered to the community In
'unramunaratlve position of public and eeml-puMlo
character. It la, alas, too true that those who put In
time and labor on our library boards, school boards,
Ak-firRan boards, and committees for meeting the
particular civic needs, receive scant recognition and
little vlslbta appreciation of their work. Tha self,
satisfaction In moat Instances must be the only re
ward. I often Wonder whether this deplorable condi
tion Is peculiar to Omaha or whether there I the
same Indifference or ingratitude to such public service
In other cities, too.
MoVIng tip a copy of the North American Review,
my eye was halted by what purported to b a rougn
drawing that Colonel Harvey had reproduced under
tha caption. "Mark Twain's War Map." Rut what
held my vision waa not the map, but one of the In
scriptions on It, being- written Inside out and spellin
something backward not "Nebraska" converted Into
"Ak-8r-Bn" but Omaha reveracd Into "Ahamo."
Colonel Harvey explain that at the time the Ger
mans were spproachlng Paris In 18T0, Mark Twain
published thla map of the fortifications of that city,
drawn by himself, and elucidated as fo'lows:
. "The Idea of thla map la not original with ma,
but Is borrowed from the Tribune and the other
great metropolitan journals. .
"I claim no other merit fof thla production (If I
may so call It) than that It la accurate. The main
blemish of the city-paper map of which It Is nn
Imitation Ia, that In thera mora attention aeam paid
to artlstlo plcturesquenesa than geographical re
liability. "Inasmuch aa this is the first time I ever tried
to draft and engrave a mip, or attempt anything
In tha line of art aa well, the commendations th.j
work baa received and tho admiration It has excited
among the people, have been very grateful to my
feellnga. And It Is touching to reflect that by far
th most enthuslaatlc of these' praises have come
from people who know nothing at all about art.
"By an unimportant oversight I have engraved
the map so that It reada wrong-end first, except to
left-handed people. I forgot that In order to make
It right In print It ahould be drawn and engraved
upalde down. However, let tha atudent who desires
to contemplate the map stand on hi head or hold It
before her looklnglaa. That will bring it right.
"The reader will comprehend at a glance that
that piece of rlver with the 'High Bridge' over It,-got
left out to one sldo by reason of a allp of th en
graving tool, which rendered It necessary to change
the entire course of th River Rhln or else spoil
th map. After having spent two dava In digging
and gouging at the map, I would have loat so much
work.
"I never had so much trouble with anything In
my IK a I ld with this map. I had heap of for
ttflcatlona scattered all around Pari, at first, but
evry now and then my Instrument would slip and
fetch away whole mile of batterlee and leave the
vicinity a clean aa if th Prussian had been there,

for future reference, ao that It may aid in extending;

Ignorance of the day."
The pussier Is the appearance on this map of th
mirrored title. "Omaha." along with those of Jersey
City. Vlncennes, Verdun. Pari. Podunk. alnt Cloud

that among tha so-called "official commendations '
U. f. Grant la quoted aa saying: "It la tha only map

THE BRAVE AT HOME.
Thomas Buchanan Read.
The maid who binds her warrior's sash
With smile that well her pain dissem
ble. The while beneath her drooping lash
One starry teardrop hangs and trembles.
Though heaven alone record the tear.
And Fame ahall never know her story,
Her heart lias shed a drop ss dear
As e'er bedewed the field of glory.
The wife who girds her husband's sword,
'Mid little ones a ho weep or wonder.
And bravely speaks thA cheering word.
What though her heart be rent asunder,
Doomed nightly In her dreams to hear
The bolta of death around him rattle.
Hath shed as sacred blood as e'er
Was poured upon the field of battle.
The mother who conceals her grief
While to her breast her son she presses,
Then breathe a few brave words and
brief,
Klclnn the patriot brow she blesses.
With no one but her secret God
To know the pain tluit weighs upon her
Bheds holy blood as e'er the sod
Received on Freedom's field of honor.
