to fame, from whacking mules pr splitting rails, or kindred humble game. The

ELOQUENCE, like goouness ana an ans, leum:. buuuu -o.& -- -self,
letting one's self go, risking the consequences, forgetting one's in
divduality, and floating off into the infinity of an idea. It comes neat to
those trance-like states where the released soul finds itself in immense conscious
ness. So it easily comes to pass that almost everybody is eloquent sometime or
other, in great sorrow or joy or ambition, or with children in moments of their
lucidity and limpidity of thought
The beggar at the corner, by the very elimination of everything else but his
want, can be eloquent; a president proclaiming the glory of the nation often
soars in the blue as he tells of its aspirations and its place; the lover with his
lass, the finch on the bough, the prattling child with clear thinking, the workman
overburdened and thinking of nothing else, the farmer in his contest with the
elements, the mother with her son, anyone is likely to have an eloquent moment
at any time.
But eloquence as an art, as a business, is another matter. While we always
have orators and eloquent men and women who can get on their feetand be
interesting and convincing, orators who sweep themselves and. all who listen off
their feet and into the clouds are few and their names are numbered and easily
told. V it . . .
George Whitefield, whos bi-oentenary was recently celebrated, was the fnend
and companion of the Wesleys, and with them the founder of Methodism. He
was one of the greatest orators that ever wrung the human heart and changed
the human mind. Opposition was burned out by the fire of his genius as chaff
burns in a flame; prejudice was as easily turned as a slight branch across one's
path, t used to be said that he could say "Mesopotamia" so as to draw tears
to the eyes of all who heard.
When he was a young deacon of 22, preaching his first sermon, he was so
powerful that the next day a complaint was entered with the bishocinat he
had driven 15 persons mad. After centuries when the .world had been praying
and preaching only in churches, it was Whitefield that began agstn the simpler
practice of preaching and praying and soul saving out in the cpen, by he road
sides and in the fields, to the wonder of England.
He was as much an American preacher as English, oeing greatly interested
in the idea of traveling from one strange place toanother in the new country,
preaching and establishing Methodism. He had an orphan asylum in Georgia
for which he prayed and preached and begged. On his seventh trip to this
country he died here.
Being a strong, fiery, ardent character J&ove the clouds in his inspiration
he as natnrally raised opposition wherever he went. His extraordinary success
built opposition. Before his arrival in this country Harvard tollege declared
itself opposed to his thinking and many preachers proclaimed themselves hostile,
but in his presence and under therway of his words opposition melted to
nothing. Twenty preachers were convinced as fast as he spoke and he went on
his way to his Georgia asylum'
At one time he preachfeSf to 20,000 persons on Boston Common and swayed
the multitude to see wjtat he saw, weep
I fs&efSiTS with Mm.
charming stories are told of his
himself. Franklin was bo religious emotionalist, to the contrary he was as
hrwd and eeol headed as thev make them, but he attended one of Whitefield's
meetings when the preacher wanted mosey for his orphan asylum, and he
describes how his mind was changed.
He went to the meeting determined not even to give the coppers in his
pocket As Whitefield talked Franklin melted and fingered out the coppers to
throw into the basket Whitefield talked on and Eranklin made up his mind
he would offer his silver coin to the cause. When Whitefield reached the heights
of his pleading and burned words and ideas in the white light of his prayer for
those orphans, Franklin melted entirely and turned his pockets inside out into
the basket. ,
Lord Chesterfield was even less likely to be earned away by religious en
thusiasm, but when Whitefield was describing the sinner in the guise of a blind
man approaching a precipice and leaning over the edge to recover his cane, his
realism was so hypnotiiing that Chesterfield sprang to his feet in alarm, ex
claiming, "Good God. He's gone."
His sermons when printed out are meager and scanty. It was the, man and
his belief, soaring away into the infinite, that lifted people out., of themselves.
It is said that he was very simple, delighted in odd turns of thought and odd
comparisons, but used the simplest illustrations from the fields and, from simple
labor, and liked simple and colloquial words. He never descended to vulgarity
although he never left the common. In him the artist, the perfect craftsman
with his silvery tool, the inspired one, the enthusiast, the man of strong faith,
united to make a great orator.

Perhaps no one regrets the war more than the London chorus girl. According
to her, London is "punk," no men, no suppers, no flowers, no diamond. bracelets,
everybody with a long face, nobody to smile at a young woman in thin silks
doing the best she can with lively toes and painted smiles to make the world a
gayer place. Everybody is interested in grim men in khaki.
The duchess of Marlborough has had a bomb proof net put over her -castle to
keep bombs dropped by German Zeppelins from destroying it. An expert artillerist
devised and erected the set. The Germans have got England plumb scared.
Lillian Russell is playing "Wildfire," her great success, for thewmovies. She
has been pleasing the world, particularly the masculine world, with her face for
more than a generation. She is an Iowa girl, born in 1860, and perhaps the
grandfathers of .the young men of today hung about the stage door of the
theaters where she played to get a glimpse of her as she came out As the
movies accept her now, she must still have looks' that are worth money, as Sarah
Bernhardt still has the voice, the art, the figure, and people go to see her play
Camille.

The rights of the man or woman who does not own an automobile or ride in
a jitae are rapidly diminishing. Now lines are drawn in the street showing
where pedestrians may walk and then if killed by a vehicle may collect damages.
Crossing the street anywhere else means not only to be killed but also to be
fined by the city.. And crossing streets from one corner diagonally to the next
block, which is a perfectly logical, mathematical way of getting there sooner, has
had the opprobrious name of "jay walking" attached to it by reporters and
policemen who of course drive their own automobiles.

Tke Double Cross
BY GEORGE FITCH.
Author of "At Good Old Sliraih."
IX these tumultuous days we hear
much about the iron cross; the
Victoria- cross, tho Cross of .the
Legion of Honor, the Cross of St. Mike
and other .famous' crosses. They are
given to soldiers -who have been un
usually frivolous', with death while
dodging him on the battlefield.
The giving of crosses has always
been a mark of honor in the older
countries. A European soiuiw win .
wade neck deep In gore and perform )
deeds 01 unparaueiwi hc4v'j " -."-to
.win one of these small pieces of
metal worth $67 per gross, ribbons
included. , ....
We do not use the crqss in military
proceedings in this country, but the
double cross is very well known.
The double cross is a decoration used,
generally, in times of peace. It is
hung upon a victim by the man who
designed It .just before the said de
signer goes away t& a safe place.
The double cross is something a
man doesn't want, didn't expect to
get and has already paid for. The
earliest instance of this decoration on
record wi that in which Jacob. aftr
having served seven years for 'Rachel,
got Leah palmed off on him instead.
The double cross is not conferred
for extreme bravery but for extreme
confidence. Whtm a man is so con
fiding that he trusts the entire world,
he Js a logical candidate for the double
cross of the first order. If he doesn't
hire a real estate agent to bargain with
a stranger to double the price -jot a
farm on him ana slpit the proceeds
ho will place his. trust In a political
ally who will trade that trust to the
highest bidder and get appointed to
office on the proceeds.
When a man has had the double
cross hung on him he does not be
come proud and, noble like the recipi
. ent of the iron cross. He first gives
a wild snort of surprise and then pro-
ber of persons living in one room, the
result is that no bathing is to bo ex'
peeled."
"Already enjoying the lowest key
rate of any city in the state. El Paso
is to get a further reduction through
the instalation afthe new triple combi
nation auto truck authorized at Thurs
day's meeting of the council and to be
added to the equipment of the High
land Park station," said mayor C. E.
Kelly. "The reduction will be at least
one cent, and possibly as much as two
cents. The present rate is 18 cents,
and we are certain that our new rate
will be IT cents, if not lower. Five
years ago the rate was 41 cents."
.
"The free colection of garbage
throughout the city, started on January
2. is in successful operation," said
George Harper, sanitary commissioner.
"It is possible thattwe will have to re
arrange our districts In order to give
the maximum service, but we cannot
tell until we have experimented fur
ther. We are hauling fully it percent
more garbage now than before free
collection was started. This te accounted
for by the fact that the collection la

FROSI A GERMAN-AMERICAN.
Tularosa, N. M-, Jan. 14.
Editor El Paso Herald:
Regarding your anti-German articles,
I really cannot understand, how a true
American citizen can have such pro
English sentiments. You have In your
recent issue an-article, "Denmark Tires
of Oppression, Fears Germany, which
is the most absurd threat ever pub
lished. I was 26 years old when coming to
America. From 18S0 to 1863, Bismarck
was the most hated man in Prussia.
The reason that Schleswig and Holstein
were taken away from Denmark was
that Denmark in 18J prohibited, the

time the academy of commerce in
Dansig and also belonged to the Turner
society As a flash of lightning It
went through Germany and all Turner
societies drilled for military service to
send volunteer troops to Schleswig
Holstein to free it from the yoke of
Denmark and revenge1 the outrage of
Frederic Wilhelm IV, king of Prussia
In 1849, when be acted- as traitor
against SchleswIg-HoIsteln-and made a
most shameful treaty with DenmarK.
When Bismarck saw the sentiment ot
the German youth, he considered the
time ripe for the uniting of Germany,
and placeo himself at the head of tne
movement The result was the War
against Denmark and the freeing of
Schleswig-Holsteln from the Danish
yoke. .tustria, as nominal head of
Germany, demanded Schleswig, which
caused the war of 1866, and France de
manded Luxemburg tor its neutrality
in 1867. The shameful demands of
France on the king of Prussia caused
the war of 1879, and the humlnation of
France in 1S76 is the cause of the pres
ent war.
The only mistake that Germany, or
rather Prussia, made was that it was
entirely too lenient and fair. It should
y.ha nnnvAH rwnmflrlc in 1862 and
should have taken In 187 a greater,
part of France and annexed Belgium
and Luxemburg when it had the full
power and no opposition. Then Eng- ,
