beauty as well as heart sentiment, are
taken:

with him for the next seven years, and
as teacher, miner, compositor and editor
he gained much more experience than
money.
Little by little. however, some clever
local sketches he had written for the
papers on which he worked as compost
tor gained a reputation on the coast.
and in 1864 he was appointed secretary
of the United States branch mint. with
leisure enough to cultivate his gifts.

look these and similar productions and
award pre-emjnence as versifers to Mil
ton and Dante, the chances being that
he has not read either paradise Lost"
or Inferno" and would get very weary
if he tackled either of these acl1nowl-
edged masterpieces.
1t may be as well to assert right here
that this busy, bustling generation of
which we are part wants its poetry to
appeal not so much to critical intellects as
to hearts that throb in consonance with
the woes, the joys, the aspirations and
the honest triumphs of fellow strugglers
IN the daily toll to win bread and to
make the world better worth living in.
If the singer can send out lines that
live, he may not be remembered, but
his words will remain the heritage
and inspiration of the common people.
That, | fancy. will be the case with
Dr. S. Fillmore Bennett, who now re-
sides at Richmond, Ills. The name
probably is familiar to few, yet he is
the author of a song that has been heard
in all lands of this round globe. Years
ago, at Elkhorn, Wis, he wrote 1.-THE
Sweet By and By" and although the
words are well known to most readers
it is not inappropriate to bring them in
closer touch with those glorious verses
of hope and aspirations:
There's land that is fairer than day,
And by faith we can see it afar,
For the Father waits over the way
To prepare us a dwelling place there.
In the sweet by and by
We shall meet on that beautiful shore
In the sweet by and by
We shall meet on that beautiful shore.
We shall sing on that beautiful shore
The melOdiOus songs of the blest,
And our spirits shall sorrow no more
Not a sigh for the blessing of rest.
To our Bountiful Father above
We will offer the tribute of praise
For the glorious gift of his love
And the blessings that hallow our days.

Bennett is the well known Will Garlic
ton, whose reputation was made when
he published those two pathetic poems
of country life, cover the Hills to the

their contemporaries only touch upon
nature incidentally: man and his local
eccentricities is their favorite theme. A
new. poet, however. has risen-Cy War
man, of Denver-and he is evidently
struggling to express somewhat of the
emotions reused in him by Colorado's
sublime views. His recently issued
Mountain Melodies" contains some fine
touches, in which, however, the sublime
occasionally yields very suddenly to the
commonplace. as in this. for instance:
want to so whore the flowers blow
On the mountains high and hoary;
Where the summer winds shake the pa
tient pines
And the sun in its glory
Falls DER the stream where the rippies
CLEAN;
Where the shores are shoal and sandy;
want to walk where the flowers talk
On the banks of the Rio Grande
love the stills in the running rills-
The willowy rills half hidden
That lie in the lap of the gentle hills
In the lap of the hills unchidden.
love the leas where the honey bees
Are making sweets from the clover,
And when walk where the flowers talk
just feel good all over.

Francis Bret Harte ceased some years
ago to be an American poet, and since
1880 could hardly be called an American
writer, even in prose. Indeed for the
last few years of his residence in New
York he was lecturer and collaboration
rather than writer. In 1873 he was ap
pointed United States consul to Crefeld
Germany, whence he was transferred in
1880 to Glasgow, remaining consul there
till new administration came in.
He was born Aug. %, 1884, in Albany,
and in 1854 went to California with his
widowed mother. Life was pretty hard

THE HAYTIAN BUILDING.

At the start the Haytian government
appropriated 25,OOO and much of this
has been expended in the erection of a
special building, which stands almost in
front of Germany's big brick structure
at Jackson park, in a very desirable loca-
cation. 1t is a low. square building,
surmounted by dome, and surrounded
on three sides by an ornamental pillared
veranda. The coat of arms of The repuh-
lie is carved over the entrances, with the
inscription, "Republique Haytienne. 1402
-1804-1S93." The date 1904 is that from
which Hayti's independence is reckoned.
In addition to government appropriation
many merchants of Hayti win contrib
ute to make their exhibit SUCCESS.

A Baltimore artist who is at work on
a statue to be called THE Diving Girl

He declares her proportions more SYM

A learned writer in The Popular Sci
ence Monthly quotes the old saying
Horses feel famine first" Then he
thinks we shall not understand it. and
he explains it as follows: The meaning
of course, is that in the commencement
of dearth of cereals the stables would
be pillaged Of the grains fed to the
horses by II hungry populace before it
clamored to the authorities for bread. 9"
To be sure! Grains fed to the horses
