LONDON'S NEW HERO.
EDMUND CURTIS, THE BOY POET OF
THE EAST END.

A Precocious Youth who Has Achieved
Fame at Fifteen with Verses of Unusual
Merit-Rescued From "A Rubber Factory
and Sent to school.
Up from the slums of London has
emerged an infant prodigy, Edmund Cur
It's by name. prccocious youth of 10, who
is already known all over England as the
Boy Poet Everybody is talking about him,
the newspapers are printing his verses and
his picture and he is being sought out by
the dreary interviewers of the London pub
lications
The Boy Poet was discovered by the edi-
tor of a weekly paper entitled London, in
which his compositions were first printed.
At that time Edmund was working in Sill
vertown, a manufacturing district in the
murkicst and most unsightly part of Lon
don. He was one of a thousand or more
poorly paid drudges in great rubber fac
tory, and he had sent in his verses merely
for the pleasure of seeing them in print
The editor of London sought him out, pub
lished "A page story about him, with his
picture and that was the beginning of his
rapid rise to notoriety.
Mr. Andrew Lang, whom the British
public recognizes as gilt edged authority
on poetry, pronounced Edmund's verses
better than those which Sir Walter Scott
wrote as schoolboy Scott however, had
had the advantage of good schooling, while
Edmund left the common school which he
once attended two years ago. Other per
sons agree with Mr.. Lang as to the merit
in Edmund's verses, and the boy was in
danger of being spoiled by the 1lattery that
silly people at once began to pour in upon
him. But. luckily for him. the editor who
had discovered him did not desert him, and
he has been rescued from the lion hunters.
Master Curtis seems to have been much
affected by the scenes of poverty and mis-
cry, in the midst of which he has been
brought up, and his poetry shows a strong
faint of morhidness. of which the follow
ing, a paragraph from poem entitled
"Thoughts In Churchyard, - is an ex-
ample:
One pleasant summer day my footsteps wan
dered
Into the ancient churchyard where the dead
Were sleeping calmly. Knowing not. l pom
dorcd
So sadly DER each melancholy bed,
Thinking how life and Joy are quickly sun
dorod
And how all joys and passions soon are fed,
How even l. whose foot above them pressed,
Must also die and be, like them, at rest.
OF course this is not quite equal to
"Thanatopsis. " which Bryant wrote at the
age of rs, but it is much better verse than
many men who are two or three times 10
write and sell for poetry.
Although young Curtis has lived a life
of poverty, he comes of 90 stock. His
father descended from II very respectable

one of the most hotly contested fights for
seat on record Mr.. Pendleton, who was
also young man, pleaded his own case
before the house and was deeply affected
by his defeat He did not give up politics,
however, and at the next election, when
Mr. Atkinson was not a candidate, he
was elected and subsequently served sew
eral terms, which was probably balm
enough to make him forget his first set

full with his pen, but he is good platform

its ordinary level but it raises it high
enough, and with the axle thus supported
the driver goes to the repair shop The
other day one of those immense four
wheeled trucks used for carrying iron
beams and columns appeared down town
with a broken rear axle, broken at the
hub on the off side of the truck.

edge, with blocks of wood between them
at suitable distances apart, and then the
planks had been bottled together with bolts
running through the blocks. The two
planks thus held on edge were stout

end of the truck, trailing to the rear in the
usual way. The broken axle rested upon
them at pretty near its usual height. The

chain under the long high beams of the
truck
While the combined planks were amply
strong to support the axle, still the pres
sure upon them was tremendous, and the
square corners had been worn off and the
planks had been worn away on the under
side until they were pointed at the ends,
thus bringing a long surface of wood on
the under edges of the planks in contact
with the pavement. As the four big
horses moved on with the great truck there
was faint odor of burning wood in the
air, and now and then little trace of
smoke floated out from under the ends of
the planks from the charming of the wood

along the stone pavement with the great
weight of the truck upon them. New York

A JOCULAR MONARCH.
Ivan the Terrible Had Some Cold Blooded
Notions About Testing.

Ivan the Terrible forgot neither his de-
votions nor his diversions. His palace al
ternately resounded with praying and ca
rousing. For his pastimc bears were

window he perceived Il group of citizens

and especially on hearing the cries of the
victims, was unboundcd. His bursts of
laughter were loud and long continued.
To console those who were manned for life
he would sometimes send each of them a
small piece of gold.
Another of his chief amusements was in
the company Of testers, whose duty it was
to divert him, especially before and after
any executions, but they often paid dearly
for an unreasonable joke.
Among these none was more distin-
guished than Prince Gvosdef, who held a
high rank at court.
The car, being one day dissatisfied with
a jest, poured over the princes head the
boiling contents of soup basin. The
agonized wretch prepared to retreat from
the table, but the tyrant struck him with
knife, and he fell senscless to the floor

1t is his own experiences that Edmund
writes about in the somewhat somber
poem entitled "The Factory Bell.
There comes a sound in the morning gray
When few 'aint CLEANS are heralds Of day,
And il calls the busoms by cares upprcst
Back from the peace giving country Of rest
Calling them back to the workshops heat,
To the benches long and engines beat,
Whore the brow of the worker must ever be wet
In the dew Of his streaming, honest sweat.
It's the factory BELL the morning bell;
Harsh are the notes Of its tunclcss knell,
Calling them back from the drcamland fair,
Calling them back to the world of care
The loud changing factory bell;
And all in a moment the streets are alive,
AS the toilers pour out, like the bees from a
hive.
The streets are awake with the tramp and the
noise
OF the worlsers-the men, the women, the boys
Onward they pour to the factory gates,
Behind which the meager paid labor awaits
The labor that STILES the mind and the soul;
And, just they reach them, there sounds the
last toll
OF the factory bell, the morning bell;
Harsh are the notes Of its tuneless knell,
Calling them back from the dreamland fair,
Calling them back to the world of care
The loud changing factory bell.
But Edmund is no longer disturbed by
the factory bell AS soon as his employer
found out that he had been entertaining a
genius unawares he generously offered to
educate him. He had been forestalled,
however, for a wealthy London gentleman
had already secured the permission Of the

RUNNING FOR GOVERNOR.
George w. Atkinson, Republican Candi-
date In West Virginia.

George Wesley Atkinson, the Republican
nominee for governor of West Virginia, is
one of the few literary men who have been
successful in the field of politics. He is
under 40 wears glasses and has a decided
ly intellectual appearance.
Mr. Atkinson made his appearance in
politics about six years ago when he ran
for congress in the West Virginia district
where he has lived for years. The election
was very close, and his Democratic oppo-
nent, Mr.. Pcndleton, was seated. The re
turns showed that Pendleton had received
49, POI votes, against 1922 for Atkinson.
Mr.. Atkinson made vigorous protest and
after a somewhat lively tilt between the Re
publican majority and Democratic minori-
ty in the house Pendleton was unseated,
and Atkinson took his place. Some redhot
speeches were made in this contest, one of
which was delivered by Mr. O'Fcrrall of
Virginia He roundly denounced Speaker
Reed and dc1iod him to put into operation
the then new rule Of counting "A quorum.
The speaker accepted the challenge, coolly
counted as present and not voting all the
members of the minority, and Mr.. Pendle-

mating him for governor
His mother is proudly watching his ca
reer, and it is said that her chief ambition
now is to see her son the chief executive OF
the biggest state in the Union That she
keeps an eye on Edward s doings is shown
by the fact that when he and his delegation
were refused admission to the Republican
national convention at St Louis Mrs
Green spent money literally to place his
case before the national committee. Young
Green's seat was given to a cOlOred barber
it is said, and he at once wired his mother
the whole details about the indignity.
Mrs. Green was "hopping mad" when she
heard how her boy had been treated, and
Eddics friends say that she threatened to
get even with the men who did the deed if
it cost her 81, goo, GOO.
Mrs. Green admits that she knows very
little about politics. but She saws that she
depends on her son to keep her posted as to
the situation. While in financial matters
she takes nobody's judgment but her own,
when it comes to politics she thinks that
Edward is one of the greatest men in tho
country.
Mrs. Green has very little time to devote
to laying pipes and pulling wires. Most Of
her time she spends in the Chemical Ma
tional bank, known to New Workers as
"Hctty Green's bank" because she owns

conducts most of its business. She is look
