A Poet with VigOr.

X
The McMillans of London published
ia book of poems by T, E. Brown, which
the English critics lauded because OF
the ''vigor of the poets descriptive
style" Here is little sample of it re
ferring to- the sailing of a fishing
smack:
So to the jetty gradual she was hauled;
Then. one the tiIler took
And ehewed and spat upon his hand and bawled.
And one the canvas shook
Forth like rnoldy bat, and one, with mods
And smiles lay on the bowsprit end and called
And cursed the harbor master by his gods.
And, rotten from the gunwale to the keel,
Rat riddIed bilge bestank,
Slime slobhered horrible, ] saw her reel
And drag her oozy flank
And sprawl among the deft young waves that
laughed
And leapt and turned in many sportive wheel
As she thumped onward with her numbering
draft.
We believe this is a poet who could
almost do justice to the Chicago stock
yards. The rhythmic swish of the pig
sticker's knife and the thrilling splash
of the hog in the scalding vat ought to
thrill such bard to the very core of
his immortal soul Give us a call,
Brown. Chicago Times Herald.

bitterness which prevents insects OF

SUPPORTS THE SUBSIDY BILL.
Mr. Hanna Addresses the Senate in Favor
of the Measure.

| Mr. Hanna Addresses the Senate in Favor
of the Measure.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.-By special
order the senate convened at 4 o'clock.
The announced purpose of the early
meeting was to enable Mr.. Hanna of
Ohio to address the senate on the ship
subsidy bill, before taking up the spe-
cial order of the day the further con-
sideration in executive session OF the
Hay Pauncefote treaty.
At the conclusion of the routine bust
ness MIR. Hanna was recognized to
speak upon the subsidy bill. His
speech was in sense reply to that
delivered few days ago by Clay (Ga).
In opening his address Mr. Hanna
said that the remarks Of Mr.. Clay had
brought into question the motives of
those who had assisted in the prepare
ton of the pending measure. AS a
memb OF, the maritime committee as
well as a member of the committee on
commerce, Mr.. Hanna said he felt it
his right and duty to explain the work
OF those committees.
Resents the Imputations.
sFor myself, . he declared, 81 resent
the imputation that any other motive
than those of interest in our country
and good public policy actuated the
committees.
Mr.. Clay interrupted Mr.. Hanna to
disclaim any such imputation.
Taking up the bill Mr.. Hanna said
the pending measure was believed to be
the most practical legislation that could
be enacted upon the subject. He main
tanned that in order to build up the
American merchant marine it was
necessary to have not only capital and
experience, but it was necessary like
wise to afford our foreign carrying
trade protection-some kind Of induce
ment.'' If this protection should be
afforded, said Mr.. Hanna, the growth
of the American merchant marine
would be rapid.
AT Q O'Clock Mr.. Hanna concluded
his speech on the ship subsidy bill and
the senate Wentsinto executive session
to consider the Hay Pauncefote treaty.
