Mrs. Richard Realf, widow of the
Pittsburg poet and newspaper man
whose writings in verse have gained
considerable renown, addresses an inter-
esting letter to the editor of the Pitts-
. burg Times Having noticed in that
journal a reproduction Of the verses,
What My Lover Said, with their au-
thorship credited to Colonel Realf, and
doubtless stung by THE TRIBUNEs ex-
posure Of that false credit, Mrs Rsalf
now writes to inform the Pittsburg pub
lie that Richard RealI's literary ability
is too widely known both in America
and Europe for him to be accused Of
theft at this late day. There have of late
years been different individuals trying
to use his productions as their own. 1t
is not my intention to rob any individ-
ual of his glory; yet, how dishonorablo
to try 10 rob the dead Of HIS gloryp
In law this communication would be
called the retort evasive. 1t is shrewd
enough not to claim for Colonel Realf
the authorship of Homer Greene's
beautiful poem, but by thoroughly
feminine appeal to the sympathies it
seeks to create the inference that COL
onel Realf and not Greene really did
write the poem. The point at issue is
a small one in effect, for nobody of
character in literature longer doubts
the genuineness of Mr.. Greene's claims
to the authorship of the verses in quss-
tion But in principle it illustrates
plagiarism at its worst and calls re-
newed attention to that peculiar possi'
bihty of the human mind which, as o
