twenty years to Star reporter. ''They are

when il comes to show of pluck. Why,
that little Abe Garfed--he isn't morc'n sew

ride Alright down those front steps of the
White House portico. Don't he get falls?
Well, should say he did but he don't mind
them no moren nothing. He'll jump right
up, get on that bicycle again. and go tearing
down the yard like forty, right over stones,
curbing, or ANYTHING else, and maybe there'll
be lump on his head as big as a hens egg
from the fall, too. One dav he rode right
down the steps and got the hardest kind of
fall. His head struck that hard stone flag

and getting on his bicycle again. asked
him. Aren't YOU hurt Abc?' BY that time
there was knot formed on the side of his

hurt a little, but that he didn't mind that
and away he went.

Poetry i'm America.

Mr.. T.. G.. StedmaD, has, in the Midsummer
Scribner, the first Of two papers on the sub
ject Of poetry in America, in which he makes
both philosophical and historical study of
this much-mooted subject. These papers
| form part of his series on the Poets and
Poetry of America:
"In certain sense, it is natural for the
| citizen Of so vast and various a country to
| find his patriotism and his gift Of expression
respond most easily to the appeals of his own
| locality. There is still a tagging behind full
| nationality, just as Federal supremacy, in the
hearts of great multitude, gives precedence
to State rights Yet there are signs Of
grow th toward an imagination in keeping
with our political enlargement. The new
| IAmericanism. with relation to literature and
the arts of beauty and construction. is seen
in the very search for it, in the closer inspec-
ton Of our ground, in our more realistic
method-in the genuine quality of our mod
ern poetry and creative prose, so much more
| indigenous than the work of the neo. Roman
tic English school, and presenting so fresh a
contrast to the poetry and prose Of our early
periods finally, in the greater value set upon
/, our home-workers, upon our ventures for
|, ourselves. 1t il curious to note the minor
symptoms of this change. As time has les
sened our yearning for the mother country,
native Americans less fondly cling to the old
words and traditions. The landlords who ca
ter to foreign or provincial guests still give
English and French names to their hotels,
and fresh English colony, after the manner
Of our ancestors, calls its village Rugby

The Boston Advertiser SAYS that the French
elections, to take place August 81, bid fair TO
turn very largely on the doings of the gov
ernment in North Africa. Anything more
favorable the government could not desire.
as the French electors cannot help support
ing policy which promises to add little
empire to the dismembered republic. The
peculiar prominence of the African campaign
compes not only NJ. Gambetta, but also
the monarchists, to stand Loyalty by Presi-
dent Grevy and NJ. Barthelemy Saint lIilaire.
Yet as far as immediate cash profits are con-
cerned, the commercial treaty with England
seems to be no less important. In any event,
the administration enters the contest with
well founded expectations of success. and
may fairly boast of having done for France
more than has any other government during
the last seventy years.
