WHO SAPHO REALLY WAS.

The discussion in reference to SaphC
has at last been settled by a fine old
scholar by the name of NJ. ID. Samp-
son, who lives out at Salina. In re-
ply to a young lady correspondent,
recently wrote the,following, which in
our mind lie a perfect gem:
"Sapho, Fannie, was not a him, she
was her. She lived long time ago,
long before the days Of union suits
and years before passementerie or
Battenberg lace was thought Of. She
was Greek poetess and wrote verses
for the Athens Morning Dtcknailer.
Her poems were mostly erotic COM
positions. Perhaps, Fanny, you
won't know what an erotic poem is.
II you don't, l will not tell you for 1t
is better that you will be kept In
ignorance. Ella Wheeler Wilcox
sometimes writes erotic poems, and
other times she writes tommyrotic
verses, but they are 30 warm that one
Of them left in the cellar over night
will sour the milk and grow
sprouts on the potatoes a foot leng.
"Sapho wrote poetry on a variety OF
subjects. They were all more or less
erotic, but some Of them were eroticer
than others. She is credited with be-
ing the author of the following beauti-
full stAnza.
Little While, from the mirror
Sucked tn e mercury all of,
Thinking in his childish error
Itwould cure the whooping cough.
At the funeral whites mother
Sadly said TO Mrs. Brown:
Twas a chilly day for Willie
when the mercury went down,
"Sapho is said to have been the
first one who ever employed the
MyXolydian method in music. 1t is
said that if she ever could induce one
of her countrymen to sit still and
listen to her mix one of her Myxoly-
dian songs his clothes would take fire
from spontaneous combustion. Sapho
ended her romantic career by falling
IN love with youth named Phaon
and leaping in despair from the
LeucOdian rock. This rock was a
Greek kopje from the top of which
lovers used to leap into the sea and
escape the pangs of love. Sapho
leaped from this for that purpose but
history does not record whether she
escaped from said pangs or not.
Sometimes despairing lover lit a.
swimming and was picked up by the
Corinthian life-saving crew and taken
back to his or her her pangs.
"5apho is an interesting character
to study. She was undoubtedly q
great genius in these days, yet II
didn't take very smart person to be
a genius 600 yeors b. c."
