A Sketch.

The August number Of Ainslee's
magazine contains page story by
Mr.. Walt Mason Of Beatrice. 1t is
reprinted in the Courier in order that
the readers of this paper who are not
readers of Ainslee's may read an ex-
ceedingly clever sketch. "The Spot
ted Broncho contains only $50 words
yet the story Of a mans life and a
woman's is told and nothing is left
out. Its simplicity and pathOs TO.
gether with the fine drawing and the
economy OF line are remarkable. Mr..
Mason has been a Nebraska favOrite
for a long time. Only an artist can
draw figures simply. with so little
effort. Among the illustrators, l
think it was Gibson who first showed
the meaning of one line and the i'm
pertlnence Of many to express the
fine disorder of Julia's skirt. Now all
the illustrators make their drawings
simple and strong. The weak ones
who still make fussy pictures cannot
get a job. De Maupassant showed
all the story-writers how to make one
word do the work of score, how to
make one situation tell the story of a
mans life and foretell his future.
His stories take the reader back into
his hero's childhood and forward to
his passing. His stories are a matter
of few pages. but the perspective IS
so we'll managed they have the effect
of an exhaustive biography in four
volumes.
Mr.. Mason's story is one of the best
in the months magazine. The mod
cling is SO bold and free l shall not
soon forget the man. his prairie
schooner and the hosses, and the wo-
man with her dead child.

When he begins to talk about how
bright he is and how much he has
learned at school it reminds me Of
the doleful, desert hours l spent. years
ago, listening to young mer expatiat-
ing on their talents and intellectual
acbieyements. Calypso listened to
Telemachus with unassumed eager
ness. but then Telemachus really had
had adventures and he did not men
tion what his professors thought Of
his examination papers. II he had,
Calypso could not have maintained
the smiling. interested expression
which fingers upon her face in the
pictures taken while she was enter
taiping Telemachus. Mr.. Bachelors
model young man approaches himself
with such modesty that the effort is
apparent aud signalizes the virtues,
which he refers to with reverence.
He is a bore but there is not much
of him in the book. He is only
sketch. And the same may be said
Of all the other characters in the
book. Mr.. Bacheller has not the
Shaksperean gift Of individualizing
all his characters, citizens, clowns,
servants and soldiers. Never mind;
we are indebted to him for the char
acter of Eben Holden, whose epitaph
tells more of him than l can:
81 Amt afraid.
'Shamed o. nuthin' ever done.
Alurus KEEP my tugs tight,
Never swOre less twas Necessary,
Never ketched a fish bigger'n it was

Dunno 4 it er east er west er north er

The book is like David Harum in
this respect, that when the hero is
out of sight there is wearisome
weight of cOmmOnplaceness. But
inspiration and the open enters with
him, So it does not matter.

On no other subject do people gen.
orally have as erroneous conceptions as
on the subject Of poetry. 1t is often re-
garded as simply pleasing recurrence
Of harmonious sounds. designed only to
crafty the organs of time and tune.
Parker says: Poetry may be properly
defined as the language of the imagina-
tion." Notwithstanding the profou nd
erudition Of Parker, from this view
must dissent little. From his defini-
tion We are justified in supposing that
it is in the world Of imagination, in dis.
tinction from the world Of reality, where
Poesy dwells in her virgin purity. dis
sent from this opinion because in the
world Of fact and of reality exist, and
ever have existed, some Of the brightest,
living, breathing poems.
Take, for example, the shortest verse
in the New Testament: Jesus wept."
The sun in the midday heavens is not
more radiant of light, heat and glory
than is this simple, transformations rec
ord Of fact radiant OF poetic fire. There
is no necessity here for translation
into the mystic realms o. imagination;
the simple record in its naked beauty
appeals directly to the soul without any
medium, save that Of physical sense.
The poet condenses and fashions into
a thing Of beauty life's ethereal essence,
and prolongs its more refined but evan
escent joys. And as the world grows
older and the race of man Increases, a
greater degree of poetic fire will be de-
veloped.
The Bible contains as much, il not
more. of true poetry than any other
volume in the world. The expressions:
'And the earth was without form, and
void, and darkness was upon the face of
the deep. And the spirit of God moved
upon the face Of the waters" are truly
poetic. How laconically, yet how vivid
ly, are the ideas conveyed of chaotic
condition, of emptiness. Of darkness,
and of vast waste Of waters. Then the
next verse: "And God said. Let there
be light, and there was light" Moth
ing could be more explicit, more simply
and purely expressive.
Solomon also. in Ecclesiastes, has en-
riched literature with unique and un-
approachable description of old age. 1t
runs thus: Remember now thy Gre
ator in the days Of thy youth, while the
evil days come not, nor the years draw
nigh when thou shalt say, have no
pleasure in them. While the sun or the
moon or the stars be not darkened. nor
the clouds return after the rain. In the
day when the keepers Of the house shall
tremble, and the strong men shsll bow
and the grinders cease be-
cause thew are few, and those that look

The principle, the essence OF poetry lie
as diffusible and as extensive as space
itself. Poetry is one Of the most potent.
effective influences that can be used for
the elevation Of the spiritual part Of
mans nature. This fact has long been
recognized by ecclesiastical bodies, and
who is able to compute the benefit. in
moral and religious sense, that has &c.
crued from that class OF poems called
sacred poetryS Men are powerfully in
huenced by this ubiquitous agency,
while they may not be sensible OF the
cause. The soul. excited. angry. full OF
revenge. by the silent inspiration OF a
twilight scene, the moaning sympathy
OF the healing breezes, the fearful pity
OF the attentive stars, is soothed and
quoted, and is open to the impulse Of
generous forgiveness.
Was it a weakness in Daniel Webster
to request the reading Of Gray's Elegy.
when he was on his death bed? All,
those words fell upon his spirit like
drops Of balm from the tree of life; the
sacred influence stole upon him like
angels voices in the "stilIy night" and
gently. peacefully. his spirit passed from
this earthly vsstibule into the celestial
temple.
Let us. then. as club members and as
Individual women. improve every oppor-
tunity of cultivating an appreciation of
the poetic, that in future years our
memories may be glorious; that, though
our present surroundings may be unfa-
vorable, We may yet say with the poet:
g hear the muffled tramp of years
Come stealing Up the slope Of time;
They bear train Of smiles and tears,
OF burning hopes and dreams sublime;
Bot future years may never fling
A treasure from their passing hours
Like those that come on sleepless wing
From memory's golden plain Of flowers"
