How Some Writers of Verse are De-
eeived In Their Own Work.
Though nature and life are full Of
poetry great poets are few; for the poet
is not seer only, but maker" also.
lnnumerable hearts and minds have the
gift to perceive what only one has the
gift to perceive and write People are
constantly self-deceived about this, and
fancy they can express, because they
can feel, the beauty, harmony, and
pathos of the world; and the delusion
is sometimes kept up by the fact that
now and again, in rare verse or two,
the fancy comes true. More often some
thing not good, but nearly good, IS
achieved, and the writer sees in it not
what it actually is, but what he meant
it to be an error the reader does not
make

There is another class of rhymers

they have done, might have developed
into original poets, but who-whether
through pressure of circumstances or
from deliberate choice have turned
into other channels the energy that
would have won the bays; or we may
say that their poetry, instead of getting
written down, is worked out in the
deeds and relations of their lives. They
do the beauty which others sing; they
show how we'll good actions rhyme and
how musically TALL the feet of noble pur-

To an American the bar is a novel
feature on Britith steamship. In the
City of Rome it is on lower deck. 1t is
50 small that only one person can be
served at time. The bartender rarely
wore coat. If he had been greasing
the machinery his shirt could hardly
have been dirtier. Dayy Crockett
would have called him anything but
gentleman, for lie invariably poured
out the drinks for his patrons. Ii you
asked for whisky, no bottle was placed
before you. The drink was measured
in pewter cup and then poured into
tumbler and placed before you. The
horn was invariably a stiff one, more
than any moderate drinker would de
sire. 1t was the same with brandy and
other liquors. If you called for pony
brandy, you got the same measure.
This measure Of drinks is universal on
all English steamships. With pre-
ponderance OF American passengers the
saloon keeper would probably increase
his gains by allowing his patrons ia
gage his own drinks. On the Alaska
many Americans ordered glass Of
branky aud two pony tumblers. By
drinking the liquor they got two ponies
for the price of one. Some speculated

steamship bartender told me that he
had tried the American system to hig
hearts content, and was satisfied that
it was losing system. If you allow
one man to pour out his drink, you
must allow all to do So" he said. "You
can't make distinction on the ground
of nationality. An Englishman is
natural hog. He will always fill his
glass to the brim. As soon as tho
officers of the vessel learned that tho
bar was being run on American princi
pies, they trebled their patronage, and
doubled the size of their drinks. ]

BEGGARED BY GAMBLING.

An Immense Fortune Wasted at the Cam
ing Table.
In Moscow may be seen any day In
the Koslo street beggar who few
years ago was one of the richest men
in the city, says the New York World.
At his fathers death he came into q
fortune of $4,000, 900 rubles ($7,5oo, 00o}.
M. Tortzoff was not only endowed with
wealth, but was very handsome and
considered the best rider, dancer and
fencG in the city. But riches and pop.
ularity produced one passion-that OF
gambling. Every night he spent play
ing cards for high stakes and every day
in betting. In the course of one even.
ing alone he lost the sum of 100000
francs (S60O,o o0) to Graf Scheremetieff.
In a few years his entire fortune was
suuandered, and he now turned to his
relations to support him, but the latter
soon found that all the money they sup
piled him with went to the gaming
table, and they decided to let him shift
for himself. While Count Scheremetieh
lived he supplied him, from time to
time, with SUNS Of money, but after
his death his heir refused to continue
this practice and Tortzof is now re-
duced to begging in the streets in order
to obtain a few kopecks to buy bread.
Sometimes one of his former grooms
throws him half ruble in passing and
the unhappy man shuf1es off to spend
it in brandy.

This is story boldly stolen from the

egraph, and, in accordance with orders
given, served the party with splendid
repast upon arrival The luncheon was
greatly enjoyed, but my Lord hesitated
with the payment of the bill until the
train well-nigh drew out of the station.
Then Lord Arlington gave mine host
just ten per cent. of the amount Of the
bill, remarking, with a pleasant smile,
fhe knew very well that it was custom
airy in Servia to overcharge foreigner
at least ninety per cent The host was
for time fabbergasted, but finally re-
covered his presence of mind and tele-
graphed to the frontier guard at Prot:
The gentleman in the special train ran
away without settling, and the train
should not be allowed to leave the coun-
try until four hundred and fifty francs
had been paid

Yale Ccnfers a Degree on Member of
the Class of 1926.

/. 55 &
Yale University has just conferred
the degree Of 4. B. upon Douglas Put
nam Of Ohio, gentleman eighty-four
years Of age. His sheepskin is made
retroactive in effect, so that the new
fedged bachelor of arts becomes mem
Der Of the class of 1926. which gradual
ed sixty-four years ago. There were
lately but six survivors of that class,
now the number is increased to seven.
The recruit, who, by the way, is GER
/ tainly in one sense an ''old bachelor
is a grandson of the General Israel Put
nam, whose heroic deeds formed one Of
the most interesting chapters in revolu-
tionary history.
It seems, says the New York Press,
that Douglas Putnam was one of the
two brothers who rode from Ohio to
New Haven, Conn.,. on horseback in 1922
and entered Yale college in the autumn
of the year; that at the close of the
junior year their father died and only
one of the brothers could be spared to
pursue the studies of the senior year
while the elder Douglas was kept at
home to care for the family and estate.
This is an interesting bit of story, and
the action of the corporation of Yale
university In voting to restore him TO his
class standing and bestow the degree
thus honorably sacrificed is touching
and romantic incident. Several thoughts
are suggested to the rejecting collegiate
mind thereby. One of them is that,
very likely, if Douglas Putnam,
aged eighty-fo1lr years, were examined
upon the branches taught at Yale dur
ing the senior years sixty-four years
ago he would not attain an average
marking of any thing near one hun
dred per cent. for his answers. But
the next thought is that just as likely,
if the other six surviving members Of
the class of 1926, who actually went
through with those studies and stood
examinations upon them, were now TO
be submitted to the same ordeal they
would succeed no better than the newly
graduated member would do. Still an
other thought in the same line: How
many Yale graduates of the class of 1890
could sustain a. creditable examination
of the studies pursued by the class Of
1926?
When once the scholastic mind begins
to ponder in this way there is no visible
stopping place. Time brings many
changes Four years are but a small
fraction of four score. One year more
Or less in the great school at New Haven
is Of value only as it affects ones career
as a student in the great school of life.
And it would be tolerably safe guess
to hazard that the young man who rode
on horseback from Ohio to New Haven
in search of knowledge, and rode frona
call of duty, is to-day no less truly a
man of ''iberal education than are his
surviving classmates who spent one
year more at Yale than he did.

Waverley novels as prizes in the Oratory
