poetry once ourselves, but we were not
encouraged. When we submitted four
teen-page poem to a publisher, he said
the measure was defective. We offered
to write ten more pages and give him full
measure without extra charge, but he
didn't encourage us. He said many of
the lines lacked the requisite number of
feet, and We proposed to scratch off SEVEN
teen more feet of the stuff on the spot, so
that he might add foot here and there,
where it would do the most good. but he
didn't encourage us. But we subsequent

grumble about lack of measure or
"feet" either. He seemed to appreciate
the production; but the careless manner
in which he jammed it into an old bag
was not calculated to encourage a young
poet.-NorristoWn Herald.
