Special to Florence TRIBuNE.l

ten class who could not get away from business to go to the seashore during the heated term, are now engaged in new fad, that of writing original poems. Some of them are of such great merit that they should not be lost to the literary world, nd your correspondent takes pleasure, there fore, in submitting verse or so of few of the leading poets of Kelvin. Mir. T. H. Fox, private secretary to Manager Truman, has just finished beautiful original poem of 92 verses, which for beauty and depth of thought has never been excelled. It is entitled
 LovE's LINGERING KISS. Verse 52.
 Andso, since all we love and cherish Must fade when most we feel Its bliss. Let, let the glowing oses perish But only heath Loves Lingering Kiss. Mir. A. H. Sengstack, the able as- sistant of Mir. Wise, has in addition to his arduous duties in the company's store, found time to compose madri- gal of 24 verses. quote the 2ith verse as follows:
 DEEP THBoEs OF LOVE. By A. H. Sengstacz. If you say have not won you Why not, sweet one, let ma shun you. Now my books are thrown aside, You I read and you alone. If you ever are denying Why then hinder me from flying. If you say have not won you Why not. sweet one. let me shun you. Mir. Foley, the big 6 foot 10 man of the company's store, has composed 10 verses entitled:
 THE CARES OF LIFE IN KELVIN. quote as follows from verse q: Thus all is changed and all is past. Thus we ourselves must pass away, For nothing in this world can last. But life and love are gone as fast As the bright track that marked our way. Mir. Tom Mennie, superintendent of the mill, although full of respon- sibility at present in getting the big plant shaped up, will find time in the near future to write an original poem, which will in the due course of human events be furnished for the edifcation of your many readers. Manager Truman and MT. Wise will in all probability soon fall into Kelvin's fashionable fad and produce poems of very high order.
 Roy Hayden and MT. Bird have also promised your correspondent advance sheets soon.
 Mir. John Cochran of Piety Flat has a poem under way entitled:
 THE KELVIN BAccHANTE. The Fist verse reads as follows: Half mad with love and half with Kelvin wine.
 My veins seemed filled with burning lead. The Kelvin feeling is awful fine, But next day you wish yourself quite
 dead.
 Away with all these vain pretenses And pledge me in each Kelvin bealer. How can dare to own me weaker, l When others barely keep their senses. MT. George Truman has composed. a beautiful poem entitled,
 DREAM OF YOUTH.
 The 29th verse is as follows: I still remember when a child What castles built In the air.
 What realm trayersed lorn and wild, And all the marvels found there. Things wonderful and how uncouth, Yet rosy with the touch of morn.
 No Kelvin in my dreams of youth. And the old house where was born.
 Judge Marshall, Bill Zent, Tom Meahan and Jim Elder have poems under way, copies of which win be furnished at an early day.

 A lad the joys of youth. bee the daintiest flowers,
 Whilst am seeking truth. Oh truth. with deep devotion,
 I've plunged in depth profound, And sought thee i'll the ocean,
 At last in Kelvin found.
 Truthfully yours,
