lines change human nature.
Stanton is now As years old. He is of
medium height, with a gunpowder COM
plexion and fierce black eyes,
The poet is careless of his fame, and he
neglects his business interests. His popu-
larity causes his work to be sought after in
many quarters, but a rule he throws it
away where he receives the smallest COM
pensation.
In Atlanta he is, of course, out of nlace.
The Georgia capital is busy, money-lov-
ing city, and it will be fully hal-century
before it will begin to cultivate the liter
ary side of life. The average Albanian
thinks more of potatoes than OF poetry
more of bricks than of books-more OF
capital than of culture.
1t is cold, chilly city for poet, but in
their narrow way the people are proud OF
Stanton, and it pleases them to know that
his verses can be coined into dollars else
where. WALLACE PUTNAM REED

capped having his clothes burned from

Wet rags were given the horses 20 hold
in their mouths. How grateful they
looked! At last night came, but our sup
plies had been burned, except some earned
tomatoes. That is all we had FOR ourselves
and horses.

pitifully. 1t was no. the heat so much as

took him from the horse and, placing him
beside the spring, poured water on his
clothes. His body absorbed can after can
of water and not until it had taken in
large quantity through the pores of

any. 1t was three days before we
were able to proceed on cur journey. All
this time we lived on the canned tomatoes.
The fourth day we passed the school
house. The enthusiasm of the Irish Lord
had given place to detection. Deeper and
deeper the lines burned themselves into
his face. The spirit of the man was broken.
As We passed the schoolhouse ne looked

The schoolteacher came out looked
into his face. She could not speak for
tears. She returned to the schoolhouse
and brought back her wraps. In a mo-
ment she had his head on an improvised
pillow and his face covered with her
apron. The school children stood around
awe-struck by the presence of the dead.
Their whispers were almost as strange as
laughter. The teacher dismissed the
school and started off to notify the people
When the Coroner arrived he found the
apron and the wraps still by the dead man
and his body covered with wild flowers.
1t is said that during the whole night the
teacher sat in the little schoolhouse guard

hands were going awav from the edge of

volcano. After a great struggle, pulling
inch by inch. the IRISH Lord was on his

He took a wild, quick glance at the for

the pain OF despair said:

KNUTE NELSON'S BANKRUPTCY
BILL.

The leading periodical, The Review
of Reviews, for April, has the follow
ing to say concerning Knute Nelson's
bankruptcy bill:
The extra session, besides passing
the appropriation bills, which failed
of completion at the hands of the ex-
piring Congress, and besides taking
up the tariff question, opened the
flood gates at once to new bills and
general legislation. If any great
matter, next to the tariff bill, deserves
prompt handling, it is the subject Of
a national bankruptcy law. A num-
iber of bankruptcy bills are pending,
and it is not easy for the laymen.to
- understand all their provisions. The
Torrey bill, which has been under
discussion for so long, would seem to
have as its underlying motive the
benefit of the creditor as against the
debtor and it's firmest support comes
from New England and the Atlantic
seaboard. Senator Knute Nelson of
Minnesota has presented a bankrupt
cy bill which is avowedly intended
not to provide further or additional
machinery for the collection of debts,
but rather to help thousands of active
and energetic business men, particu-
larly in the West and South, to OBJ
tain discharge from the debts they
are unable to pay, in order that they
may take fresh start. Senator Mel
son has as high sense of honor as
any man in the country; and there is
no suspicion in his bill of an attempt
to aid rascals to avoid the payment of
just debts. But, as Mr.. Nelson points
out, the very men to whose vigor and
enterprise the West has owed it's pros
perity in the past are the ones most
deeply involved in the frightful bust
ness reaction against which no ordi-
nary prudence could have guarded,
and for the results of which these men
cannot be held blameworthy. As mat
tiers stand, they can neither pay their
debts on the one hand, nor can they
on the other hand proceed to do bust
ness with their undischarged sobliga-
tons hanging over their heads. Mr..
Nelson declares that in the end the
creditors of these men would gain
most by their immediate liquidation
and relief from old obligations. In
some form, a bankruptcy law should
be enacted. It would be an. impor-
tant factor in the restoration of good
times. Il. =.

SENATOR Knute Nelson has offered
an amendment to the tariff bill au-
, thorizing the president to suspend
the operation of the law as regards ar
ticles the production or manufacture
of which is controlled by trusts, and
to re-impose the protective duties
whenever he is satisfied the cause for
which the suspension was made has
ceased to exist. It aims a blow at
trusts and combinations.
