James Whitcomb Riley.

James Whitcomb Riley.
1t is the proyidential want Of man
to catch the note Of his own lifetime.
When a poet, in sweeping the strings
Of his own Tyre, strikes those chords
which find a sympathetic vibration in
the individuals Of his time, train Of
ardent admirers is sure to follow
People are not all scholars. They
cannot satisfy the poetry in their ma
ture by delving in ancient classics
The stories told by Homer and Virgil
are not of their life. sTheir Gods
are not our Gods" When people
read, that book pleases them most
which is true to their own experience.
They want an analysis of their own
nature, picture of their own home
and gardens. A poem must reflect
their life as brook reflects the sky,
that they might look into it and read
the color of their own existence. Man
was ever vain. 1t is that touch Of
nature which makes the world AKIN
which is most difficult for writer to
bestow, but sure to be most successful
when it is bestowed
Such a writer as this we find in
James Whitcomb Riley. We might
call him a PLAYMATE of nature, so
pre-eminently is he the poet of coun-
try life. He writes for those whose
hearts have been 'set clickin' like
the tickin' of a clock, when the frost
is on the pumpkin and the fodder 5
in the shock" for those who can say
with him,
"And so | love clover-it seems like a
part
OF the sacredest sorrow and joys of
my heart;
And wherever it blossoms, oh, there
let me bow
And thank the good God asI'm thank
in him now;
And pray to Him for the strength,
when die,
TO 90 out in the clover and tell it
goodbye,
And lovin'ly nestle my face in its
bloom
While my soul slips away on breath
of perfume
He tells us that
The world is full Of roses. and the
roses full of dew.
And the dew is full of heavenly love
that drips for me and you.
II there is such a thing as sympathy
in nature we find it expressed in that
very pathetic poem The Death Of
Little Mahala Ashcraft
"They's sorrow in the wavin' leaves
Of all the apple-trees;
And sorrow in the INCONSISTENCIES,
and sorrow in the breeze;
And sorrow in the twitter Of the
swallers round the shed,
And all the song her red-bird sings is
Little Haly 5 deadn
The medder pears to miss her, and
the pathway through the grass,
WHARF the dewdrops ust to kiss her
little bare feet as she passed;
And the old pin in the gate-post seems
to kin-do-sorto' doubt
That Hays little sunburnt hands IL
ever pull it out.
Although James Whitcomb Riley is
chiefly known by his hoosier dialect
poems, he has written some sonnets
worthy of Wordsworth. For exam
Pile his sonnets on dusk and
.Silence." Few poems have been
written which are more pathetic than
The Little White Hearse," or more
dramatic than '.Little Orphan Annie. :

place in the hearts Of all lovers of ma

to material. are exceedingly striking.
Waists are round or slightly pointed
and in the former, there is consider
able difference as to length, since
sometimes the belt comes almost up
10 the arms, while again the proper
tions are more according TO nature.
With the latter, pointed ribbon belts
are very fashionable and can be seen
in the shops ready made of inch and
half wide ribbon that describes a
point in front, with intermediate rows,
all being held in position by small
buckles. The effort to introduce
skirts with fullncss more evenly dis
tributed, has been only in part sue
cessfully and the greater number are
yet in bell shape.

Laura, A pair of gloves or a
bottle Of choice perfumery. such as
Murray and Lanman's Florida Water,
would be an appropriate Christmas
present for your gentleman friend.
The latter is in special demand just
now, both for presents or the perfum-
ing of fancy articles, since its delic-

its dreariness.
''Xantippe." A stylish mode of
dressing the hair, is in high coil on
the top of the head. Another way is
in loose twist at the back, with a
double coil above or one may adopt
the Titus back that has a long, flat
contour combined with short curls.
This usually meets the Titus front
which shows curl extending low on
the forehead, with shorter ones on
either side. In such case, the sides
should be waved and for coiffures in
general, all over waves are still in
great favor.
Sleeves are an objective point in
costumes of all kinds Velvet is the
leading material and is employed with
equal prestige for an ordinary street
dress OF cloth or for gossamer like
fabrics worn at balls.
Pink is unusually fashionable in
millinery and nothing is more stylish
than a pink felt trimmed with black.

THE announcement last Friday that
Jay Gould was dead surprised nearly
everybody living outside Of the larger
towns. While he has been sick with
consumption for nearly two years
there was hardly any one. not even
his family, who was fully aware 81 the
nature of his disease. He did all in
his power to keep the business world
from knowing his condition. for he
was afraid that it would in some way
interfere with his plans and disturb
the business Of the country. No dis
turbance has yet been apparent, and
his business policy has been so clearly
mapped out that his sons, who have
been in business with him for some
time, will carry out the business with
out break. That Jay Gould pos
sessed wonderful business daring and
foresight no one can deny. In his
dealings with such men rs Vanderbilt,
Drew and scores Of others who are
looked upon as business giants he all
ways managed to come out ahead un-
til he was without doubt the leading
financier in America. Commencing
life as a poor boy ON farm in new
country there seemed to be little in
him unless il was his wonderful dispo-
sition to work. which gave any prom
Use of future much different from
that of other boys who PROV into
manhood under similar circumstances.
He has, however, probably aeeumu-
lated more wealth in a short time than
was ever before accumulated by a
single individual. and he has never
let friendship or anything else stand
in his road to success. His fortune is
yariously estimated from sixty to one
hundred millions Of dollars. Yet there
seems to have been no disposition on
his part to place any considerable
of this vast wealth where it

generations of mankind or that will
cause any human being to rise up and
call him blessed. There have been
but few multi-millionaires in this
country who have not in some way
built lasting monument to their
name in the shape of some public in
stitution, charitable or educational.
But so far as we know Jay Gould new
er thought of the needs of suffering
humanity, present or future. but up
10 the day of his death he kept himself
aloof from public affairs and most
thoroughly wrapt up ii his schemes
for adding millions to his already
enormous fortune. Whether or not

facts concerning shipments Of Ameri-

Spain, Belgium and Austria against
pork from this country, but under the

since their removal over forty million
pounds of pork have been sent to
those countries. 1t is very likely that
none of this would have been shipped

how worldly minded we are and pulls

Abraham's faith is sufficiently tried the

Mrs. Burns, to show that the divorce
procured by the former in Nebraska was

took the stand in rebuttal. She told of
an interview between herself and Mrs.

of Burns. She met her husband in
company with Mrs. Hill at San Juan
