THE POSTER GIRL.

(After he Blessed Damozel)
The blessed Poster-girl leaned out
From the pinky-purple heaven.
One eye was red and one was green;
Her bang was cut uneven;
She had three fingers on her hand,
And the hal s on her head were sew
en-.
Her robe ungirt from clasp to hem
No sunflowers did adorn;
But heavy Turkish portiere
Was very neatly worn;
And the hat that lay along her back
Was yellow like canned corn.
1t was kind of wobbly wave
That she was standing on,
And high aloft she flung a scarf
That must have weighed a ton;
And she was rather tall-at least
She reached up to the sun.
She curved and writhed, and then she
said,
Less green of speech than blue;
Perhaps l I'm absurd-perhaps
| don't appeal to you;
But my artistic worth depends
Upon the point of view"
| saw her smile, although her eyes
Were only smudgy smears;
And then she swished her swirling
arms,
And wagged her gorgeous ears.
She sobbed a blue and green-checked
sob,
And wept some purple tears.

REPLY TO THE PROFESSIONAL.
1t Is Like an Ingersoll Lecture Done
In Verse.

All readers of The Courant have
read Rudyard Kipling's sonorous and
majestic jugilee hymn,
God of our fathers, known of old
Lord of our far-fung battle line
Beneath whose awful hand we hold
Dominion over palm and pine
Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet,
Lest we forget-lest we forget!
Hundreds of them have, we hope,
cut 1t out and pasted it in their scrap
books. They will be interested in
the news that William Watson has
been moved to reply to it.
William Watson is at least az fond
of polemics as of the art poetic. His
duel with the poet laureate over the
Armenian question-weapons, sonnets
is still fresh in the public memory.
He slashes away at Kiping in the
metre of the jubilee hymn, His con-
troversal verses appear in Harped's
Weekly under the caption, The I'm
known God, and under the protection
of copyright
1t Is the sentiment of the hymn
IL at has stirred Watson to wrath and
pi otest--not the artistic setting. He
is much too old and clever a versifier
himself not to feel the excellence Of
Kirling's work But Kipling wrote
Ike an orthodox Christian gentleman
and Watson,-it appears, is militant
agnostic. The first part of his poem
might easily pass for portion Of one
of Bob Ingersolls lectures done in
rhyme. To him Jehovah Is cousin
of Odin and Zeus, though perchance
by some degrees nobler than they-a
mere invention and illusion of the
world. Watson announces that he
cannot worship any such deity,
Not him that with fantastic boasts
A somber people dreamed they
knew;
The mere barbaric God Of Hosts
That edged their sword and bmced
their thew;
A God they pitted 'gainst a swarm
or neighbor gods less vast of arm.
Watson then proceeds to eXpound
his own theological. system. The God
he believes in is God whom he does
not know, and does not expect to
know. This God is at once too near
end too far to be known. Watson
puts In his mouth the mystical Ian
Guage of one of the recently discover
ed Logia;
Raise thou the stone and find me
there,
Cleave thou the wood and there am
Watson doesn't know whether this
God notes the good or Ill in man or
not He does not know whether 1t is
IN mans power to please him or to
vex him. He is quite sure, however,
that to praise him with hymns, for
instance) is to profane him, and that
prayer (any prayer. all prayer) is an
die waste of breath.

quiet under that, He says:
