THE OLD TOWN ON THE RIVER
FLORA BULLOCK.

Sousa, the magician, deigned to stop
over for few hours at the Old Town on
the River, to show the people how he
waved his wand and what came of it.
He was on his way to better town
wot Of and, of course. he must have been
in a hurry to reach it's gracious portals.
So it was a delightful condescension in
him to pause in his flight and play his
band for US. An afternoon crowd
greeted him-an audience chiefly Of
women and schoolgirls and boys-for
the schools enjoyed half-holiday.
Probably half the crowd were out-of-
town folks. A large delegation Of
Peru normal school students was on
hand. Still the house was not over
crowded, and probably it did not pay
the band to stop with US. But as for
us-well, it always pays to hear and see
Sousa play his band.
His published program was the same
as that advertised for Lincoln-but
encore numbers were granted with
Sousa's usual liberality. and so the pro-
gram degenerated into iust an ordinary
Sousa march display. l say degenerated,
but in the same breath will confess that
the encores were acceptable. Sousa
would not be Sousa without them.
A town that is just set up over the
recent visit of Paderewski and Clarence

Ed. Courier,

Lincoln, Nebr:
have read with much interest and
pleasure your courageous defense OF
England in it's present war with the
Beers. Ever since the war OF independ-
ence. it has been the popular thing for
the press, political demagogues, comic
papers. comedians on the stage. and
clowns in the circus. in season and out
OF season, to fling abuse and mean Jokes
at England until the masses have I'M
consciously become prejudiced and
biased against everything English.
Realizing this condition Of the public
mind, the press as we'll as the politicians
(of both parties) lack the courage to
speak openly, fearing the loss OF circula-
ton or votes. Wherever England rules
one is sure to find civilization, liberty
mot license). the protection OF life and
property, trial by jury. a competent and
fearless judiciary. speedy trial and con-
viction Of criminals-in fact, law, order
and justice to all, the best conditions
under which civilized society may thrive
and reach its highest ideals. the edu-
Gated and cultured being in control.
The conditions under Boer rule are
just the reverse. The people Of the
Transvaal will be UNNECESSARILY better
off under English rule. which they will
discov1r as soon as they become eulight-
ered. England's cause being just and
in the interest Of humanity and fair play,
will be victorious. Under existing pop
ular prejudice your heroic and fearless
defense Of our Cousins cause is very re-
freshing; you are to be congratulated.
Yours very truly. ADoLPH NATHAN.

these Shropshire songs, wandered to
London town and dwelt there COM
fortress exile.
"Far in western brookland,
That bred me years ago,
The poplars stand and tremble
BY pools used to know.
"There, in the MINDLESS night time,
The wanderer, marvslling why,
Hats on the bridge to harken
How soft the poplars sigh.
''He hears: long since forgotten
In fields where was known,
Here lie down in London
And turn to rest alone.
"There, by the starlit fences,
The wanderer halts and hears
My soul that fingers signing
About the glimmering wiers."
That is true poetry, and there is a
touch as genuine as Heine's. an eX-
preston simple, comp etc, perfect;
mood. personality, a lifetime in six
teen short lines. But here is little
poem which Mrs. Etbelbert Nevin
had me copy in her own edition OF
Mr.. Nevin'S "NarcissuS."
"Look not in my eyes! for fear
They mirror true the sight see;
And there you find your face too clear,
And love it. and be lost like me.
One the long nights thro' must lie,
Spent in star-defeated signs;
But why should you, as well as ],
Perish? Gaze not in my eyes.
"A Grecian lad, as hear tell,
One that many loved in vain,
Looked into forest well,
And never looked away again.
There where turf in springtime flowers,
With downeast eye and gazes sad,
Stands amid the glaneing showers
A jonqui1, not Grecian lad"
For exquisite grace of form and
delicacy of fancy l scarcely know its
equal. This is Mr.. HOusman's first
volume of poetry, but he seems to
have learned the important thing az
the beginning. There is not one
lyric in the collection which has not
this absolute genuineness. This
Shropshire lad has an existence in
literature as actual and indisputable
as Childe Harold's. This hOmesick
bow is one of the jewellers on HelicOn.
But hear him further, and at his
best:
"On your midnight pallet lying,
Listen, and undo the door!
Lads that waste the light in signing,
In the dark should sigh no more.
Night should ease lovers sorrow;
Therefore, since 60 tomorrow,
Pity me before.
IN that to which travel,
That far dwelling, let me say;
Once, if here the couch be gravel,
On kinder bed lay;
And the breast the carmel smothers,
Rested once upon anothers,
When it was not clay"
That is what it means to write
poetry: to be able to say the Oldest
