One who has had the pleasure of hearing
Miss Stein recite her poems realizes how
much appreciation for their finer phases
is quickened by her reading of them. As
an interpreter of her own work she is
scarcely inferior to Riley. They are widely
different, of course. but they have in conn
mon the rare faculty of expressing by voice
and look the full content of their written
words; and to do this with poetry like the
above is yet rarer than good characterize
ton. Graceful simple and natural she is
the furthest remove from the painful arti-
ficiality of the 'elocutionst," and as with
only few easy, spontaneous gestures ard
a low, melodious voice, that adapts itself
wonderfully to the emotional play, she rem
ders her lines, one perceives that the fine
qualities traceable throughout her poems
have their root deep in her personality.
1t is to be hoped that this votary of ma
ture will publish a collection of her best
poems, which should have value all their
own; and it is to be doubly hoped that she
Will persistently follow those lines of de-
velopment which clearly lie before her.
There IS no apparent reason why her name
should not occupy an honored place in IN
dana's literary roster.

Abiding to some Of tho stories told
about General Grant, including the one
about his drawing wood TO market, the
Chicago imes-Herald says: "By the way,
other pretty good men have been team
sters. One of the grandest governors Wis
consin ever had was II stage driver for years.
1t did not hurt grand old Jerry Rusk later
on to have IL known he had been stage
driver. He was pleased to hear the fact
mentioned. Who thinks any the less OF tho
great war president because Mr.. Lincoln,
to keep the pot boiling, split railsp Or Of
George Washington because he once car
ried a chain for n Surveyor Who thinks
less Of Garfield because no rode mule
that hauled Canalboatp Garfield was O
professional teanster in way, but 1t
didn't hurt his reputation when he was
great enough for president. Who thinks
less of ono of Wisconsin's grandest oharac-
tors because, when no first came to the
state, he had to chop oordwood at 20 cents
a cord or go hungry Who thinks less Of
Ex-Governor W. d. Hoard because he was
a woodchopperp Mon speak Of it as COM

Thurston, Nebraska's senator, because he
was drayman in Chicago at one timer
Or of Ex-Governor and General Alger of

Who thought less Of Henry Ward Beech
or because, when he first began his minis
tcrial career, he was obliged to milk the

Joyous face had been help to her in
all her sufferings. His brown hair was
now streaked with gray, but the light in
the face was the same; there was the
same alertness and buoyant health in
the figure and the same row of laughing

AS she stood watching the departing
figure she scarcely knew that the queen
was preparing to go to her bed-cham-

by the voice of her majesty, now some

Two hours later she was walking
alone in one of the galleries when,
hearing a gentle step behind her, she
turned and saw the king. She made an
obesance and was about to move on,
when he stopped her, speaking kindly
to her, and thanking her for the great
pleasure she had given him that after
noon.
"JNhat should be done for this quasi
knight of Enderby?" asked the king.
"IIe saved the life of the king" she
said; then boldly, confidently, ''your
