I am not entirely well yet for I was in'

Lost Talent
A great (leal of talent is lost in the
world for the want of a little courage
Every day sends to their graves a
number of obscure men who have only
remained in obscurity because their
timidity lias prevented them from
making a first effort; and who, If they
could have been induced to begin,
would in all probability have gone
great lengths in the career of fame
The fact is that, to do anything in this
world worth doing, we must not stand
back shrinking and thinking of the
cold and danger, but jump in and
scramble through as well as we can.

Where Are The Young Leaders?
From the Florida Times-Unlon.
History in the making, events of
today that are to be history a decade
of a century hence, appears to have
in it very few young men. Their el
ders are making history, in all the
various lines of worth-while human
endeavor.' In science, in art, in lit
erature, In the crafts. It seems as If
all the really “big things” are being
accomplished by men who are no
longer young, but by old men, as age
is regarded.
The Richmond News-Leader takes
the arena of politics under observa
tion, past and present, and asks:
“Is it a day of old men?” It looks
that way. And to prove the affir
mative, the News-Leader calls up the
past which, in the Richmond news
paper wording, speaks as follows:
“Patrick Henry was 29 when he
reminded the burgesses that Caesar
had his Brutus. James Otis was 36
in the year that witnessed his great
protest against the writs of assist
ance. Jefferson was just two months
past 33 when he presented the Dec
laration of Independence. “Light
horse" Harry Lee was 25 at York
town. Madison was 36 when he co
operated with Hamilton, then 30, in
the Philadelphia convention, where
another leader, Edmund Randolph,
argued brilliantly at 34 for the plan
he drafted. John Murshall was not
a member of the body that drew up
the Constitution, but he was not 33
when he spoke for the ratification in
the Virginia convention in 1788.
James Monroa had been under 20
when he distinguished himself in the
Nrw Jersey campaign of 1777, and
at the time he was In the Virginia
convention with Marshall, Madison,
Randolph and others, he was 30. At
32 he was United States senator
from Virginia. John Paul Jones was
32 when he fought Serapis with his
Bonhomme Richard. Washington,
needless to say, did so many great
feats in his youth, that he seemed
great from boyhood. He was still
under 50 when he carried the revo
lution on his high shoulders. A lit
tle further down in the annals of
the nation was Hayne, 39 when he
debated with Webster, then 48.
Stephen Douglas was 45 in the
spring before his deba.es with Lin
coln, who at that time was four
years his senior."
Albania Making Progress.
C. A. Tashko, formerly Acting Vice
Consul for Albania in the United
States, in Current History Maga
zine.
Many factors contribute to the in
crease of instability in Albania. The
country has no real constitution, the
present provisional machinery of
governrm nt being based on the
“Statuto of Lushnja” of January,
192C. TL.^ “Statuto" submits the
function? of the sovereign to a coun
cil of fo’.r regents; one Catholic,
one Ea.-:em Orthodox, one Sunni
Moslem and one Bektashl Moslem;
these are chosen by Parliament,
which in turn is chosen by universal
manhood suffrage on a system of
double election. The powers of the
regency a:e those of a strictly United
monarchy. The Ministry is respon
sible to Parliament. Tirana is the
provisional capital. The Albanians
have so far shown scant comprehen
sion of the principles of parliamen
tary government. The late parlia
ment convened on April 21, 1921, and
adjourned on September 31, 1923; the
members proved themselves incap
able of anything but a scramble for
Ministerial positions. The election*
of last Decomber were for a consti
tutional assembly, which would have
eliminated the provisional status of
affairs. The assembly convened
January 21, 1924, and in the months
already passed, has done nothing but
discuss possible fnture ministerial
combinations, the question of the
consitution being held secondary
importance. On March Z, 1924, the
assembly formally declared itself a
parliament, this step, it was said, be
ing taken to cope with certain im
mediate, but unspecified demands.
Considering the condition of Al
bania prior to 1919. and the country’s
previous reputation of being incap
able of self-government, it has, des
pite the present domestic muddle,
made perc< ptible progress. The do
mestic difficulties are due directly te
the fact that the clan and quasi
feudal social system is disintegra
ting under pressure of the rising pro
fessional fftid intellectual class, the
ablest members of which are the dis
ciples of the American Gospel of Lib
erty. _

A PLACE OF RENEWAL
From Collier’#.
The path slants Into the woods
past a vanguard of young pines,
and slopes down int9 a glen lined
with laurel bushes, growing be
tween the rugged trunks of
lofty trees. All about is a wel
coming stillness, measured by the
©coasional crackle of a dry twig
underfoot, or the clear call of a
bird. The air is ccvol and spicy.
And the soft light, filtered through
the leafy roof of the woods, is a
benediction. Here is a place of re
newal. Stillness is to the life of
the hilnd as rest Is to the body—
In stillness the human spirit is
Strengthened and restored. Hoalth
Is here for body and mind, amid
the spicy silence, surrounded by
the poised assurance of the tower
ing trees.
High Tide of the Year.
Now is the hlgh-tlde of the year,
And whatever of life hath ebbed

Cornea flooding back with a ripply
oheer.
Into every bare Inlet and creek
and bay;
Now the heart la ao full that a drop
overfills it,
We are happy now because God
wills It;
No matter how barren the past may
have been,
'Tls enough for us now that ths
leaves are green;
We sit in the warm shade and feel
right well
How the sap creeps up and the
blossoms swell f
We may abut our eyes, but we can
not help knowing
That skies are clear and grass le
growing;
The breexe comes whispering in our
ear,
That dandelions CP* blossoming
near,
That malxe has sprouted that
streams are flowing,
That tke river la bluer than tfce
sky,
That the robin la plastering hls house
hard by;
And If the breexe kept the good
news back,
For other couriers we could not lack;
We could guess It all by yon
heifer’s lowing,—
And harkl how clear bold chanticleer,
Warmed by the new wine of the
year.
Tells all In hls lusty crowing.
—Lowell.

Charm of the Road.
From the Atlanta Constitution.
In addition to their value ns aids to
commerce and the practical side of
life, good roads have an esthetic
value, and exert a tremendous in
fluence on the intelligence and cul
ture of the population.
Stretching like a winding ribbon
past farmstead and village the mod
ern highway gives grace and charm
to the landscape, and, like Eugene
Field's poem, leads the thoughts
wandering “over the hills and far
away.”
Enohantment and mystery linger
qJ>out any kind of road. A road—
whether It be the first rude trail of
the pioneer or the great national
highway of today—is the vital thread
which connects us with the outside
world.
Among the many thrilling sensa
tions which modern life has brought
to humanity none is more exhilarat
ing—none appeals more powerfully
to man’s primal Instincts of explora
tion and adventure—than to glide
swiftly over an unknown road into
unfamiliar localities ana be per
mitted to feast the eye upon scenes
new and strange.
He who cannot get some measure
of pleasure from the endless panor
ama of thg countryside, the countless
pictures of people, trees, luxuriant
fields and tumbling brooks—which
motoring along the average highway
presents, must Indeed be deficient
in the fcreat gift ef appreciation for
the unusual, the beautiful and the
picturesque. _

Destiny,
I sometimes think that never blows
so red
The rose as where some burled

That every hyaolntb the garden wears
Dropt In ber lap from some once

green
Fledges the rlrer-llp on which we
leap—
Ah, lean upon it lightly I for who

From what ones lowely Up it

Ah, my Beloved, fill the Cup that

Today of past regret and future

Tomorrow!—Why, tomorrow I may

From some we loved, the loveliest

That from this vintage rolling Time

Hava drunk their eup a round or two

And one by one crept silently to

And we, that now make merry In the

They left, apd summer dresses in
new bloom,
Ouraelves must we beneath the couch
of earth
Descend—ourselves to make a
couch—for whom?
Ah, make the most of what we yet
may spend,
Before we, too, into the dust de

Dust unto <Just, and under duet, to lie,
Sana wine, sans song, sans singer,
