And yet our poets seem to be
Quite equal to the chimes

McCure's Magazine for August

McClure's Magazine for August
contains a mental banquet which
must appeal to he appetite of
even the most chronic int"liectu-
a dy speptic.
The first thing encountered Ill
the magazine IS Eugene Field, the
Western Horace. in his study on
the 2Gth OF June 1893, the day
that Hamlin Garland, the Vest
ern novelist, prevailed upon him
to sit, stand and deliver his lite to
to the pages of McClur.s Maga-
zine for August. The "life" of
Mr.. Field follows the pi3ture, and
g fine, energetic, well-lived life it
This life OF Mr. Field all comes
out in fine vigorous dialogue be-
tween Messrs Garland and Field
that June day in the latter's study.
Mr.. Fields sterling nature rings
through every paragraph. There
is q scent Of the Western pine
and the roll OF Western river and
preirie9 in it. 1t is large lunged,
like nature. It is very different
from the dialogues held in East
earn drawing rooms. For instance
the unconventional Field all
through the interview sits in his
shlrtsleeyes, with his feet up high
er thar his head. AS Mr.. Gar
land says, che sits somewhere in
the middle OF his back" But that
doesn't matter, when he talks
straight from glowing heart and
crystal brain.
It wapld really be unfair to
quote any of this remarkably ori-
ginal dialogue, or the poems
quoted. There is one poem in
this paper, however. which all
readers will be glad to meet again.
1t is called "Ihe Wanderer," is
genuine poetry, and was for years
attributed to the Swan of Poland,
Helena hiodjeska. Of course the
article is charmingly illustrated,
with drawings of the Old Home
stead of Fayette, Vermont, Fields
home in Chicago; five interiors in
Fields house: and Charles A.
Dana's eaitariai scissors, hanging
by Giadstone's celebrated axe.
The last picture is of rare Eugene
Field holding his last olive
branch.
