CURRENT LITERATURE.
"Phantoms of Life.n


One of the latest publications issued by G. P.
Putnam's Sons is handsome volume of poems
by DIR. L. D. Waterman, of Indianapolis. 1t is
made up of ninety-fve poems, mainly metaphy-
steal, and all of them meritorious, written In
pentameter blank verse. To those who are for
tunate enough to own this book its merits will
speak for themselves 1t is work that will add
to Indiana's growing literary fame. The pub
fishers have supplemented the authors labors
by rst-class letter-press and the result is cred-
liable alike to both. A few quotations taken at
random will give an idea of the character of the
verse. The poems are entitled "Phantoms of
Life"
"They feel the deepest sorrow who conceal.
Deep sorrow ever cannot word ITSELF
The deepest never shadows e'en the face
With tell-tale aspect that question draws.
Love ever stands before the cell of grief,
When it is deep enough so be divine,
And keeps IL sacred with volceless mask.
There is one grief to each soul possible
That felt so equals it ecpses 1t.
Then life may cast its hopes as oft the sea
In anger casts upon the shore it's dead.
Yet plummet-hope cast in the depths of grief
Will find oternal calm where silence has
Her shrine, and where the wrecks of joy
Give a strange beauty to the land OF DEATH
earth was not made for nations, but for man.
Wars are the nests where lands their tyrants
hatch"
SIT is the summit of advancing truth
That crowns with sweetness travail of the past;
The harvest labored in old fields of thought.
Full thanks to heaven that with each setting
sun
All tyranny is nearer to it's end"
Glove is the very crown or woman's life;
Win that completely apd her all is thine.
Her happy soul is overful of mirth:
II hears Tor aye the Sabbath sound of bells
On the religious air."
"Look thou abroad and swear a love for all
Thou seest. and all thou cans't not see, and
Ieace
Shall canopy thy SOUL as full of hopes
AS heaven of stars o'erbends the summer night"
Such are the ideas scattered through the book
and found on almost every page. While DR..
Waterman has made himself well known to the
public through the columns of the Journal in
letters and sketches from Europe, his new de-
parture is pleasing and gratifying surprise
That he has succeeded need not be argued
These verses will win warm friends among the
cultivated everywhere, and will add new laurels
to the States reputation for literary excellence
and be a credit to literature. This volume was
published originally simply TO put the verse in
lasting form for the benefit of the authors
personal friends, but his publishers finally pre-
vailed upon him to allow them to issue it as 1t
now appears.

The Brown County Pension List,

By typographical blunder, the heading was
omitted from the Brown county pension list, ana
the names OF the pensioners in that county ap-
peared under the Bartholomew county heading.
The Brown county list begins with the name of
Henry Roundebaugh and terminates with that
of Nathan Browning.

The Approaching Comet.

The Toronto CCanada) Globe, says
Prof. Carpmael caught a glimpse the
other night of the new comet; but, it
was only a few minutes in an opening
in the cloudy sky, time was not afforded
for measurements of brightness and
dimensions. Prof. Carpmael says the
nucleus was not well defined, but tail
was perceptible apparently a few min
utes in length. This comet, which was
discovered September 5, by Prof.
Brooks is the constellation Draco.
is still in the same constellation, but is
brighter for its distance from the earth
than it was at the same distance during
its last appearance in 1912. 1t lis still in
the constellation in which it was first
noticed, and is making but slow pro-
gress across the heavens, and but slowly
increasing in brightness. Its further
path from its present position in the
northwest heavens will be across Lyra
and Cygnus and Pegasus, till, about the
end of January, it disappears in the
horizon in the south. It will reach
perihehon, the point in its orbit near
est the sun, on January %, when it will
be about 60,000,000 miles from the
earth. 1t will be visible to the naked
eye about the middle of December, and
will rapidly increase in brightness after
the end of November. Although it will
be brighter than at its last appearance
it will not be nearly as prominent an
object in the heavens as the great comets !
of last year and 1881. The comet !
reached perihelion September Is, 1912, !
and the interval between then and Jan T!
uary 25, its next perihelion will be 71.5 /
years. Calculations made in 1872 pre-
dicted its return in 70.6 years, so that /
our present celestial visitor is overdue |
nearly nine-tenths of year-certainly
not surprising lateness in a visitor
who calls so seldom.

The Earthquake Did 1t.

As an incident of the earthquake there
the other day, the San Francisco call
relates that one gentleman is particular
ly grateful for the shaking up. He is
the possessor of a fine French clock,
which suddenly stopded one day about
a year and a half ago, and all his efforts
to make it tick were upavailing. Not
having a small fortune at his command
by which he could get the necessary re-
pairs made, he placed the obstinate
timepiece in ~ closet, consoling himself
with the reflection that some day" he
would have it fixed. What was his sur
prise on Wednesday last on opening the
door of the closet to hear the old famil-
Ter tick, tick Of the favorite clock. The
earthquake had accomplished in less
than a minute what he had failed to do
in a weeks tinkeriug, and he is truly
grateful.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
CHICAGO, Oct. 25.-On Change, to-day,
there was considerable excitement in the
wheat pit, and the speculative transactions
during the day were very large. the in
crease in the visible supply was much less
than anticipated in the report. The receipts
showed falling off and the market opened
higher all round, and sold up about lie, but
the advance was subsequently lost i'll part,
the closing being about &c higher than yes
terday on the regular board. On call the
sales were very large and chiefly of Decem
ber The Adams brokers were heavy buyers
of December, and this held the mar
ket somewhat. Everybody else, how
ever, was a seller, the leading bears
being Linn, Bloss, Ream and Eldridge.
Prices were reduced &c, so that the total
gain in values for the day is very slight. The
market closed very soft. Leading operators
believe we cannot have any permanent ad-
vance for some time to come.
In corn the rainy weather throughout the
corn belt caused the local shorts to cover
freely. Prices were advanced little, but
then settled back at about yesterdays range.
Values were steady on call the principal
transactions being in the May and year
options Wheeler Gregory sold largely in
May. Hutchinson who has been carrying a
large line OF May corn was a moderate seller.
Pork and lard eased off trAe but were
exceedingly quiet The transactions were
principally for January delivery.

made a5voluntary assignment to-day, but the
statement is made that the trouble is only
temporary. No schedule of assets and labil-
tiles was filed. The liabilities are estimated at
about 100000; no estimate on assets has
been obtained yet. The debts are due chiefly
in New York. The immediate eau of the
failure is understood to be the maturing of
paper in that city, which the firm was I'M
able to meet. Contributory causes were
dull trade, and sharp competition. 1t is
stated that there are no preferred creditors.
The firm was one OF the oldest and best
known in their line OF business and highly
rated by commercial agencies. They were
in straits a year ago, but took in special
partners with $3.50 900 and added boot and
shoe department. The failure therefore, was
unlocked for.
