Mr. Plimpton was born at Palmyra, O. /,
55 years ago He comes of the strong
hearted, long-lfved stock that peopled what
is known as the western reserve. His father
a Methodist preacher, is still living-a hale,
ruddy man, past So Fior'ls was born
poet. Some of the strongest, sweete3t and
most graceful lines ever written by an Ameri-
can are from his pen. That they are so little
known is because they were usually written
at his desi in the midst Of his editorial duties
ana published only in his own paper. OF

been al ease financially in his youth, he
would have been at bis death one of Ameri-
cas- distinguished poets. Indeed, he had al

some future time end publishing them in a
volume His friends and those familiar with
them very much desired this, but the leisure
to make the book never came Bits Of verse
from his pen arc found in collections of
American poetry.

for newspapers suited him better than put

He left The Pittsburg Dispatch 10 become a
writer on The Commercial. He was offered
at one time an editorial place ON The New
York Tribune, but he declined it. He was
identified with The Commercial and its fo--
tunes for twenty six years
During the absences Of Mr.. Halstead, Ne.
Piimpton had charge of the paper. These
absences lasted for months sometimes. and
occasionally they came in the midst Of inn
portans political campaigns At these times
The Commercial did brave and brilliant
work for its party. Mr. Plimpton frequently
slept upon sofa in his editorial rooms and
did not leave the office for days, 50 busy and
anxious was he. His last years were sad
dened by encouragement and declining
health. He was forceful witty writer, one

Here, as in the case of the recent disaster
at Lee, Mass, a stock company constructs a
dam to store water power Their aim is, OF
course, to build it with the least possible ex-
pense and with the greatest show of strength.
Residents of the town detect signs of weak
ness in the dam The persons who own the
structure have their attention called to It,
but they are too busy making money to
bother about it. Sufficient unto the day,
etc, they answer. One fine morning, at $50,
the dam gives way and the torrent washes
down the valley, plowing gully or channel
in the earth from SO to 200 feet wide for
distance of some four miles, wrecking $3.50,
000worth of property, besides killing nearly
a dozen persons. The loss of life would have
been greater had not farmer boy, named
Dwight Baker, who heard the crash of the
bursting dam, rushed down the valley and
aroused many slumbering families of the
danger that was upon them.
Similar disasters have frequently occurred
in the New England states and always from
the same cause the criminal neglect and
avarice of min owners and water power
ploprietors. This is the season Of the year
for such catastrophes, and this should be q
warning to settlements with such elements
of destruction stored above them to examine
and strengthen their dams.
