of inspiration by which Byron or Shelley
threw off like flash some of their marvel
GUS passages. Tennyson has always de
clared that nothing is of value that is not
carefully done. But while he accomplished
much by taking pains, his poems show
rather polished excellence than spontane-
Gus fervor
During Tennyson's early days he pro
fessed to be democrat. This tendency is
indicated especially in Lady Clara We're
de Vere' and in "Locksley Hall" But
while the masses of the English people
were growing democratic Tennyson was
drifting toward aristocratic views Either
he was not sincere in the first place or he
was unable to Withstand nobleman's cor
Onet when it was offered him. He accepted
the honor, took his seat in the house OF
lords, but assumed only the habiliments of
place in the peerage without exercising
its privileges.
His Chief Pieces.
Lord Tennyson lived during the days
when he was doing his best work in the
Isle of Wight, at Farringford. There is
beautiful country around Farringford, just
the country for the habitation of poet,
and it was there that he produced Maud"
OF Farringford the writer previously quot
ed says "The house itself seemed like a
charmed palace, with green walls without
and speaking walls within. There hung
Dante with his solemn nose and wreath;
Italy CLEANED over the doorways; friends
faces lined the ways; books filled the
shelves and glow of crimson was every
where; the great oriel drawing room was
full of green and golden leaves, Of the
sound of birds and the distant sea"
A dozen years ago Tennyson made his
home at AldwOrth, not far from London,
where thenceforth he spent most Of his
time with his wife, his children and his
grandchildren. He lived a comfortable,
happy life, passing gracefully into old age
an old age mellowed by bottle of port
each day for dinner and the aroma of to-
bacco from his pipe, of both of which he
has been said to be SA ecially fond
Since 1870 Tenul son devoted himself
principally to dramatic works. They are
plays rather to be read than acted. Queen
Mary" and "The Cup" were brought out
by Henry Irving, but did not achieve any
distinctive success. Macready failed to
make Browning's plays popular, and lr
wing cannot be blamed for making a simi
lar failure with Tennyson's.
Tennyson has chiefly been known among
the mass of his readers for his MAY
Queen" Elaine" "Locksley Hall " "rhe
Princess" and several of his brief pieces.
Perhaps Break, Break Break" poem
of only sixteen lines, is more closely con.
nected with the name of Tennyson and in
more minds than any of his poems

CoFFEYvLLE, Kan, Oct. G.-The Dalton
gang of outlaws, the most notorious in the

here, but in the battle which resulted in

James boys proved their ruin. This was
their first attempt at bank robbery and
their last piece of outlawry.

siderable before he came to be regarded a
poet Of marked ability. In 1912 he pub
lished volume of poems, many of which
had been published before, but several were
added, and among them the since famous
"Locksley Hall" This, taken with such
pieces as Mort d'Arthur," the MAY
Queen" and "The Two Voices" stamped
Tennyson as great poet, and from that
time forward his fame steadily increased.
A Working Poet.
Tennyson has been what might be called
working poet. If there is one field in
which inspiration would seem to be espe-
cially requisite, 1t is poetry; but Tennyson
never relied upon "fits of frenzy" He was
accustomed to go over and over his VERSES
changing, shaping, polishing-till he got
them as near perfection as work could
make them. 1t is said that he has gone
over some of his poems fifty times before
giving them to the world. One never finds

shouted itself hoarse over the choice of
Crespo. The veteran promptly issued a
pronunciamento naming the members of
his provisional cabinet.
These are all well known Venezuelans
who have aided the cause of the legalists
by active service in the field or by finan-
cial contributions. The provisional cabipet
gives general satisfaction. 1t is believed
that as quickly as is possible under the cir
cumstances it will restore order throughout
the distracted republic.
The rumors concerning the escape of the
de facto President VillegasPuldo and his
ministers are confirmed. They managed
to get on vessel bound for Martinique.
1t is said to be their intention to proceed to
France and join their former chief, DR.. Pa
lacio, in Paris.

LONDON, Oct. 6.-Lord Tennyson, the
poet laureate of England, died this morn

Lady Tennyson, his son Hallam and his
wife, Sir Andrew Clark, Dr. Dabbs, the

with him for twenty-five years were at his
bedside when death came. He was tran
quill, conscious and painless to the end.

GLASGOW, Oct. 12.-The most horrible

was committed last night at West Lodge

on the outskirts of Glasgow. A woman

method of Jack the Ripper, was dismem
bered, and the pieces of her body were bur
