Poems by Matthew Arnold" with
an Introduction by A. c. Benson. Illus
trated by Henry 0spovat, Is volume
which will be Of Interest TO every lover
OF Arnold's verse. The artist has been
more successful in dealing with these
poems than in his recent pictures OF
Shakespeares sonnets, and while he
has failed IN several Instances. there
are enough sketches Of merit to make
the book noteworthy. In the head and
tail pieces he has put rare beauty and
much suggestion and IN certain mar
tial figures he has expressed the war;
rior's mood In fine style. Notable ex-
amples OF this latter trait are the pic
lures which accompany "Alaric at
Rome" "Sohrab and Rustum." and
Bladder Dead" In literary way the
volume Is attractive because OF the re-
printing OF the early pieces. "Alaric at
Rome" and Cromwell" which are not
usually included In editions OF Arnolds
works Both contain fine lines, but
the workmanship Is such that Arnold
would not reprint them. Here are
two stanzas in the "Alar.c" that have
the familiar ring'
Yes. there he stood. upon that silent
hill.
And there beneath his feet his con.
quest lay;

And his young dreams Of conquest;

victories"
Arthur S. Benson. the author OF
"Dodo." furnishes an excellent intro.

hope Is that her own book may help

java. Great Explo.ion.

DIR. Eugene Murray Aaron calls the
eruption of the volcano Krakatua in
Java "the greatest explosion of modern
times.'' He says: ut is quite safe to
say, when we are asked the question
as to which of all the mighty mani
festations of Gods power in this world
thus far within the ken of science has
been the most stupendous, the most all
overwhelming, that the terrific ami
hilation of Krakatua, in 1883, surpasses
all else. A smoke that encircled the
globe, a wave that travelled Z, 500 miles,
a sound heard 5000 miles afar and an
air shock hurled thrice around the
earth-what more can be sought as
testimony to the pent-up energies be-
meath our very feet?''

BEAR CAPTURES TOWN.

rOrized the Inhabitants, But
II Finally Arrested.

The town of Listie, Pa, was the scene
of great excitement one day recently
says the Chicago Chronicle. On the
outskirts. of the town lives a French
man who owns dancing bear, and the
animal has for some time supported his
master by playing tricks in the market
places of the surrounding country
seats. On the day in question some
miners who had a bucket of beer hand.
ed it to bruin, who squatted on his
launches and promptly drank it. He
was just the kind of a bear the miners
liked. They gave him more beer, had
heart-to-heart talks with him and let
him drain the last key from the bung.
hole in 'happy Hooligan" style Then
they vowed eternal friendship and sep
arated.
But the brew had been too strong for
the Frenchman. He tarried by the
wayside to sleep, while bruin went to
town alone. He was gay and merely
wanted to entertain, but Constable
John Dietz didn't understand and tried
to arrest the big dancer. The bear
boxed his ears, chewed a piece out of
one arm and left him lying in the
street.
Every body in the village had by this
time fed indoors behind locks and bars.
For several hours the bear amused
himself climbing telephone poles and
chasing unwary pedestrians. In des-
peration the postmaster telephoned to
the sheriff here for help. That Official
thought it was joke and delayed two
hours more before he consented to
gather a posse and go to the relief of
the village.
g By the time he arrived bruin had run
the gamut of his drollery and had set
tied down before the village barber
shop, where he had the butcher and
the barber freed. After a hard fight
the bear was lassoed and confined In
the calaboose with his keeper, who
was also arrested.

PUZZLED INTERPRETERS.
eign Tongues, Hut Found He
Was Irish


A stranger who had dropped into
the Center street police court the
other afternoon might have thought
that he had discovered a dramatic
representation of a scene at the
tower of Babel or school of modern
languages where all the instructors
hao gone crazy and were talking at
once in all the languages they knew,
says the New York Times.
A small, swarthy, frightened-look
ing man was crouching in the witness
chair, staring at all the official and
several Unofficial and volunteer inter-
prefers who were jabbering excitedly.
The small man was Mike Costello.
who was arrested the night before
with party of Italians who were
interrupted in the midst of general
fight in Eldridge street. Each of
the Italians had been placed upon the
stand in. turn. and through the Ital-
ian Interpreters. questioned as to his
part in the fight. Costello came last,
and was addressed by the interpreter
in italian.
The witness gave no answer to the
question, but only shook his head and
waved his hand in a puzzled way.
After two or three more questions in
Italian, which elected no reply, the
interpreter gave the witness up in dis
gust, telling the magistrate that he
was not an Italian.
HE must be French said the. mag
istrate; sis there anyone here who
can speak French?
There is no regular French inter
prefer at the Center Street police
court, but several Frenchmen in the
audience volunteered their services.
All their French, however, dide.1ot
bring an answer from the witness,
who only squirmed uneasily in his
chair and looked appealingly to the
magistrate. A volunteer German in
terpreter, who came next, only sue
ceeded in. causing the witness to look
more bewildered than ever. Another
interpreter then took his turn and
addressed the witness in an impas-
stoned harangue which sounded like
buzzsaw going through knot. The
witness looked at the rapidly moving
mouth and black beard in terror for
few moments and finally placing his
hands over his ears, turned away with
an expression of agony on his face.
Several other interpreters, encour-
aged by this sign of intelligence,
started to talk excitedly in their re-
spective languages. This was too
much for the magistrate, who, jump
ing up from his chair, ordered them
all to keep quiet.
"Why on earth don't you answer
any questions?" he shouted to the
witness. ''What language do you
speak, anyway"
Sure, these guys wouldn't give me
chanst," said the witness. 81 don't
speak no langwitch at all. I didn't
want ter say anything tell they got
tro' with their jabberin'. I can speak
when I git chanst all right and
when don't have to listen to a lot of
dago talk, but I'm wise guy and
don't git arrested for contempt of
court interruptin' court officers.
See?"
This answer, which was delivered
with great rapidity, caused disturb
ance among the interpreters, who left
the courtroom hurriedly. The magis-
trate, however, heaved deep sigh of
relief.
Il will discharge the prisoner he
said. 81 think that he has been suf-
ficiently punished in this courtroom
