The Fellow Who Wrote the Poetry Got
Into Trouble and Apologies.

A poet is a very sad man, as a general
thing. The vast majority of them get
very poor in old age, some go blind. and
most of them have to die TO be glorious.
II is true that in New York number
of spring poets are killed every season,
but here in Richmond 1t had been gener-
ally conceded that harmless verses may
go without serious results. l have been
right modest about writing verses, | have
looked upon poems with eyes as innocent
as the Jersey calves at the Exposition
grounds and with feelings as timid as
those of the offspring OF the Southdown
sheep, but 1 must confess that l was
tempted, and l fell. / did not know that
j was wrong. Eli Perkins. George Fran
els Train and several other American citi-
zens have written verses, and when in
the court of Tuesday the name Of Cap
tain Bigger was announced ! could not
refrain from publishing a few lines and it
seems now that I sacrificed truth for
rhyme. But some folks have no idea OF
poetical license, and never seem to con-
slider that "a poet must have some
thing TO Jingle with Bigger, even if dis
fgger" isn't the real truth. The little
occurrence Of Monday did not result in
the slightest harm or scratch to any one,
and as everybody should now be satisfied.
] will apply for a copyright. and will keep
the talented thought Of Tuesday from go
ing ringing down the ages tainted with
inaccuracy.
