! Another spot in which lovers of poetry
cannot fail to be interested is the house
at Marblehead, Mass, where lived the
man given unfortunate immortality by
Whittier as
Old Floyd Ireson, for his hard heart,
Tarred and feathered and carried in cart
BY the women Of Marblehead.
According to Helen Reed, the Quaker
poets account is faulty. 1t was not the
women, she declares, but the men who
did the tarring and feathering. Ireson
was punished, it will be remembered,
because he had passed ship in distress
without offering help. The crew Of the
ship persisted, and only the captain sur
vived to tell the story Of Ireson's neglect.
Ireson bore his punishment without a
word save at the end. II thank you
for my ride, gentlemen. but you will
live to regret it,
! It was afterward proved that reson
had wanted to go to the sinking ship,
but his own crew to man refused to
go in the face Of the desperate gale then
blowing. But true or not though the
story be, the house Of Skipper Ireson is
great attraction to sightseers. The
incident narrated by Whittier occurred
in 1908, and the house itself was proba-
bly, built somewhat earlier than this.
Jealous though the people Of Marble

head are to defend the good name OF
their women, it is true in former times
they had reputation for masculinity
and for marked originality Of demeanor
and speech.
Years ago Tennyson wrote of his birth
place:
Here thy boyhood sung
Long since its matin song, and heard
The low love language of the bird
In native hazel's tassel hung.
Somersby is the name of the estate,
and it is in one of the most beautiful
sections of the Lincolnshire region. In
that pretty pastoral district of softly
sloping hills and large ash trees" Tenny.
son was born in 1909, and throughout his
early verse, observes an admirer, we are
constantly brought with loving minute
ness in contact with some one or other
feature of the landscape. Now it is the
manor house, portrayed for us as the
"Moated Grange" now the church
where his father officiated, and now the
rectory, and
The woods that belt the gray hillside,
The seven elms, the poplars four
That stand beside my fathers door.
The brook that loves
To purl DER matted cress and ribbed sand.
Or dimple in the dark of rushy coves.
Considerable interest then was natu-
rally excited in literary circles by the
announcement that the Somersby estate
was for sale. In the catalogue the
"Moated Grange" was described as q
comfortable gentleman's residence,
pleasantly placed in charming pleasure
grounds, sheltered by magnificent forest
trees, and overlooking beautiful shrub
berries, lovely lawns and gardens,
verdant meadows sloping to the wind
ing trout stream, the River LYNN, and
the pretty pastoral country in the dis
tance," while the rectory was made the
subject of u burst of fine sentiment on
the part Of the venders.
All in vain, however. The property
was put up at e25, 900, when it advanced
by many bids of $500 and one of e1 900
to $500, where it stopped, although
the auctioneer declared that some years
ago he would have got people to bid
100000 for the property. The owner
refused to part with it for the highest
bid offered, and the estate was with
drawn. The reserve price, SO the re-
port ran in the mart, was 100000.

THE MONUMENT.

belt plates worn by men and officers,
bayonets, canteens, bowie knives used by
the Louisiana rangers, exploded shells
from different fields, cavalry equipment,
spurs and buckles, incorporated in the
design with great skill and intelligence.
Every bullet, every broken remnant of
shot and shell, every belt plate and
epaulet could tell of inspiring scenes
and events. The story of the war is
told in metal. The great armies of the
north and south occupy opposite sides.
The national government is represented
in the letters U. S., the combination be-
ing made from mimic balls from Peters.
burg. The Confederacy, on the other
hand, is represented in the letters G.
S., which are composed Of bullets from
the southern lines. The battle selected is
not on southern soil, but in the state of
Pennsylvania. Gettysburg has been
chosen because that represented the
high tide of the Confederacy.
The centerpiece on the Federal side is
revolver which exploded in the hands
of soldier named Williams; on the
Confederate side it is a Confederate
canteen pierced by four bullets. The
Union canteen on the other side was
found near the Mcpherson monument
at Atlanta. On one side are crossed
bayonets, while the opposite is signal
lied by bowie knives that were carried
in the belts of the Louisiana tigers.
The Confederate belt plates cannot be
duplicated easily. They represent the
styles worn by officers and men. A
couple of these belt plates are Of pc
culiar significance, telling of blockade
runners that were intercepted and deeds
of daring that were wasted. Both are
of British origin, one bearing the coat
of arms of Great Britain and the other
the head of the British lion. Both were
captured before the blockade runner
had penetrated the Union naval lines.
The monument is surmounted by 8
32-pounder shot. Such are but the most
salient features of production toe
unique for description.

THE RED HORSE TAVERN.
the crossroads tavern as to q gorgeous
hotel in q big city. But once in awhile
q poet or writer chances along, and his
association with the place or what he
says regarding it gives it fame and
vogue it otherwise would not have
known.
There, for example, is the famous old
Red Horse tavern, of Sudbury, Mass.
1t used to be q great resort in the old
days Of stages, but today, remarks a re-
cent visitor, it is left to that solitude
which is almost the only possession of
the revolutionary and personal---very.
hostelries. The mail coach no longer
dashes up to its door to deposit it's load;
its hearth is crowded no more by the
feet of hurried travellers; even the rail-
road has respected its solitude and left
it far behind. Its charm remains un-
broken, however, and it is a fitting SYM
Dol of the memories which cluster in its
ample rooms, memories which seem
realities as one reads his Longfellow and
feels sympathetic thrill at the immor-
tai "Tales of a Wayside Inn."
1t is now the residence of farmer
and can be reached from Boston, twenty
miles away, by the old turnpike road
which goes to Worcester, out through
Cambridge, Newton, Waltham, Con-
cord, to the western part of Sudbury. It
stands, says the visitor already referred
to, on the north side of the broad turn

pike road, just at the foot of a small
mountain (almost small enough to be
called q hill), and fronts squarely to the
south. The barn is just opposite, nestled
among four or five oak trees, and for
over three-quarters of a mile there is not
another house in sight. While the ex-
terror OF this tavern is attractive-the
large rectangular main building, two
stories, with huge attic, square, mass
i've chimneys and an L to the right,
barely joined to the main structure-it
is the interior Of the tavern which has
the greatest charm for the visitor, both
because Of its intrinsic antiquity and the
memories which cluster about particular
rooms.
The principal entrance to the inn is
by huge oaken door in the front of the
house. AS the big panel swings ON its
creaking hinges, one can see the futed
Greek pillars of wood on the sides, and
once inside those lines of Longfellow,
even more appropriate now that they
were fifty years ago, fash into ones
mind.
A kind of old hobgoblin hall,
Now somewhat fallen to decay,
With weather stains upon the wall,
And stairways worn and crazy doors,
And creaking and uneven floors,
And chimneys huge and tiled and tall.
A farmers wife welcomes the occa-
sional caller who makes sentimental
pilgrimage to the spot and exacts the
small fee of ten cents. She is an intel
igent woman, thoroughly familiar with
the poetry and romance of her habita-
tion, and, as she says, charges for her
services that she may be able to contrib
ute a few extra shillings to the support
of the local church.

And he flung himself out the door.
Then mamma took little Willie to her
arms and did exactly what all mothers
would under the circumstances.
She called William her darling boy and
kissed him on the dirty nose.-New York
