genuine appreciation of James Whitcomb
Riley's work. Following review of q
number of volumes of verse by Western
writers, he says:

sides OF the sea. The sweetness that lies at the
heart OF these old-fasbioned roses, and of all
those wilding growths which their author calls
his "HOOsier dialect, poems, is a very genuine
and tender love OF the simplicity and
humility OF the past. The poet has
strenuously out: that the real happiness the I'M
mistakable bliss of each mans life is something
that turks far back In the memory OF his childish
innocence; and Ii is to the sense of this that he
makes his touching appeal. The earlier cOndt-
lions Of our national life, before our craze for
become the American ideal. inspire his retro
spectiye longing, and it is the memory of the
childhood OF people which he appeals to, as
we'll. OF course man cannot live by renem-
brance alone; but In waking again and again the
note that sounds through all his verse, the poet

A Court-Martisl to Investigate Charges
Against an Officer of Fitz Lee Troop.

A court-martial composed of Lieutenant
Colonel w. Kirk Mathews, Captains Edger-
ton =. Rogers and William b. Plzzini, and
Lieutenant A. G.. Attkisson, judge advo-
cate, will convene IN Lynchburg next
tuesday to investigate charges against
Lieutenant William Seay. Jr., of the Fltz
Lee Troop of Cavalry. The offence with
which Lieutenant Seay is charged Is In
subordination to his superior oihcer, Cap
tain T. j. Ingram. The specifications allege
that Lieutenant Seay w0s directed by hls
captain 10 take charge of the troop on a
certain night IN October and to drill the
men until 10 O'clock, at which hour the
captain would arrive and state TO the men
the reasons why they could not parade on
the opening dav of the Lynch burg Far.
Captain Ingram had learned that day that
the agricultural society would not pay Tor
the hire OF the horses and the occasion
did not, IN his opinion, warrant the eXpen-
diture by the company.
Lieutenant Seay, IL Is alleged, went TO
the srmory and did not drill the men, but
held a business meeting and stated that
the fair authorities bad invited the troop
and consequently they would 60. This
was agreed to, after winch the meeting ad-
iourned and the cayalrymen left the
aruorv. Captain Ingram. hearing of TINS
action, called special drill two nights
later, and after being informed OF
the expense of hiring horses the
men reconsidercd their action. 1t
IS alleged that Lieutenant Seay on
the day afterward told several mem
bers of the troop that he intended to
parade. and that if they would do so he
would stand between them and harm.
Several consented and went out with the
company. as did Lieutenant Seay. On
this parade il is charged that the latter
was guilty of acts Of defiance TO his cap
tam.
The men who paraded were tried by a
company court martial and dismissed
from the troop. The result or the trial OF
the Lieutenant Is awaited with considera-
ble interest IN military circles.
