His first volume, written under the in

lyrics Of much imaginative beauty. Its
fine quality and verse since has been
warmly received. In later years his
work has shown wide range Of

deepening purpose. AS has been well
said, however, "He remains neverthe-

Cyrus Mccormick, inventor of the first
machine successfully operated in 1881,
but which was for years an object OF
ridicule, both in this country and Eng.
land.
Forty years ago when the people be-
gan to see the practicability of such an
invention the combination reaper and
mower was thought to be very fine and
the farmer who could own one was
envied by farmers who could not afford
to pay the price these machines
brought. The price of reaper in those
days was more than three times the
cost Of a reaper to-day
In 1860 it took two men to reap field
rone to drive, the other to sit astride
the machine facing the cutter and rake
IN with his arms and throw down the
bundles as fast as reaped. The illustra-
ton gives fair idea of the crude affair
the farmer was compelled to use in the
i6Os. Recently farmer was examin.
ing this old reaper. He had owned one
like it during the civil war. He said
it took him in those days more than
twice as long to reap his wheat as il
does now.

BLUFF WON THE DAY.
GOOD AS A LETTER OF CREDIT
IN EUROPE.
It wouldn't Have Worked In Ameri-

"Here at home bluff doesn't count tol

telling you that a good, stiff bluff, with
a cheeky American behind it, Is worth
a lot of money in Europe. When l got
around to Nice last year the best hotels
were crowded and 1 had to take up
with a small room. On the same floor
was q German who was occupying a
suite, though not spending much mon

lord had asked him as a particular ia
vor to vacate for newcomer, and, Of
course, the man didn't propose to be
turned out. The landlord coaXed and
argued, and the German growled and
muttered, and followed them down to
the office to see how it would come out.
At the desk was an American 1 had
run across in Venice-a buyer for

landlord and the German began TO
gabble in chorus the buyer pulled a
blank check from his pocket and reach

"'All this talk is of no use. I want
rooms here. 1 will buy the hotel and
select my suite. Sir, what is your cash
price for this hotel?'
"'You would buy the hotelv exclaim-
ed the landlord, as he threw up his
hands in surprise.

four? And what name shall l fill in
on the check?
"Say, now," laughed the tourist, "but
you ought to have seen that thing

be ugly about it, but when he bumped
up against man who had as soon pay
four millions as one for what he fan
cied he felt awed and humbled and
ready to quit. The landlord figured
that to turn away such Croesus
would ruin his house, and it wasn't
half an hour before the buffer was
installed in the suite and the German
was chucked out into dog hole on the
top floor. And that wasn't all, mind
you. When they sent the buyer a bill
based on his supposed millions he got

Specialists in pulmonary diseases,

1t seems that the clerks were en-
