Edward Martin Moore Is not unknown In
Omaha now. but his recent labor OF love
Is one which should make him even better
known. He has performed a task which
will endear his name to the admirers OF
Omar Khayyam-and who has not found
some consolation in the "Rubaiyat?" >"
Under the title OF Spoil OF the North
Wind" Mr. Moore has gathered a most de-
lightful collection OF verse about Omar.
Andrew Lang. who recently said. Omar is
bore" contributes largely to the collec-
tion, and then there are verses from the
pens Of LeGalliene. Edmund Gosse. Austin
Dobson. Theodore Watts (Duntou), Nathan
Haskell Dole, stephen Phillips Alfred
Tennyson. Mathilde Blind. James Russell
Lowell and many others OF the cult born in
England and America
AT the last, as the collector phrases IL,
Here be words from those without the
gates which are satirical and humorous
filings at Omar and his followers. This sub.
title is half humorous on Mr. Moore's part.
for he has told in his short in.roduct lon
that he thinks Omar's dominant quality was
his widely tolerant humor-a humor that
laughed at himself and all the world be-
side.

tional scene I'm Court.

Columbus, o., Dec. 16.-There was
a sensational scene in Judge Bigger's
court Saturday afternoon when Judge
D. C. Badger pulled the nose and
slapped the face of former Congress-
man John J. Lentz. The episode was
the outgrowth of the appointment of
a receiver for the Wolfram Guitar
company by Judge Badger. Lentz had,
as attorney for Mr.. Wolfram, filed an
affidavit in Judge Bigger's court, alleg-
ing prejudice on the part of Judge Bad
ger and asking Judge Bigger to hear a
motion to vacate the receiyership.
Judge Badger happened into the court-
room while the matter was being laid
before Judge Bigger and he accused
LeAtz of having misstated the facts.
Lentz entered denial and Judge Bad
ger replied that he Lentz) was liar
and coward and pulled his nose and
slapped his face. Lentz made no at
tempt to retaliate and told Badger
that as he was a Judge he would not
strike him.. Judge Badger said that he
was not on the bench then and was act-
ing as a citizen.

of the seeming ingratitude of repub-
lies.
Recently Hon. Jacob II. Bromwell
visited the spot, and there paid an
eloquent tribute to the ex-president's
worth. Struck by the desolation of
the scene, he afterward said to a Clip
cinnati Enquirer reporter:
"When visited the tomb of Gen.
William Henry Harrison was filled
with feelings of sadness and regret
to think that the grave of the man
who did so much for the civilization
of the northwest territory should be
in an open field, neglected of human
hands and without a BETTING stone
to mark the location of the honored
ashes.
'The railing that once Enclosed the
generals long home has fallen away,
and the silent habitation is certainly
a dreary abode, but an insignificant
construction of masonry and one
broad slab are all that punctuate the
desolate waste. Tt seems to me that
the grave of Gen. William Henry Har-
rison should be marked by shaft of
marble that could be seen for 20 miles
up and down the river, and when con-
gress convenes shall introduce bill
providing an appropriation for such
monument"

workers, started out before daybreak
for hunt. Hileman has a fine bird
dog, and>his son has goat. The dog
and the goat are about the same size
and sleep in the barn. The barn was
dark at the time the rig was got out

ready Hileman went into dark cor

instead, and not observing his mis-

the hunters hurried back to. town,
but too late to cover up the joke.
The dog was still asleep in the barn.

WERE FOND OF TIE WEED,
Famous Men and Women Who Were
Partial to the Use Of
Tobacco.

The effect of tobacco smoking upon
the intellect has been exhaustively
discussed by physicians and others,
and the position taken by some that
it is absurd to allege that smoking
is Supplying to the faculties seems
to be fortified by a mass of evidence,
and in this connection it may not
be amiss to consider some admitted
ly great literary minds, says the De-
troit Free Press. Goethe hated to.
bacco and Heinrich Heine shared the
same dislike. Balzac, Victor Hugo
and Dumas did not smoke, but AL
fred de Musset, Eugene Sue, Nine.
George Sand," Merimee and Paul
de Saint Victor were ardent users
Of the weed. Spencer in the Fairy
Queen calls it "divine tobacco" Will
liam Lilly, Queen Elizabeth's court
poet, speaks of the 'holy herb Nico-
tian;" Byron's name for it is Sub
lime tobacco;" Thackeray sings:
Meanwhile will smoke every canis-
ter and tipple my ale in the shade"
Thomas Bailey Aldrich says: II
lounge and blow white rings Of
smoke
James Russell Lowell had written
an ode of thanks to Charles Eliot
Norton ''for certain, CIGARS" and calls
it tobacco, sacred herb" Charles
Lamb was willing "for thy sake, To-
bacco, would do anything but die"
Delightful Charles Kingsley's eulo-
GUM of smoking is well known and
has been largely quoted. :.
Tom Hood, of the "Song Of the
Shirt" says: "Some sigh for this
or, that, my wishes don't go far. The
world may wag at will. So I have
my cigar.'
Lord Tennyson was an inveterate
smoker and so was Thomas Carlyle.
The story of Tennyson calling on Car
lyle one evening and sitting in sol
emn silence smoking for hours is well
known. 'Man Alfred" said Carlyle
as he showed the poet laureate out,
1--WE have ha'en a graund NIGHT. Come
back again soon.' Carlyle, like Ten
nyson, did not care for a cigar, but
kept pipe in his mouth most of his
waking hours, and Thackeray, like
Burns, loved to get away by himself
and enjoy the favor of a rank pipe.
James Payn, the novelist, cannot
remember the time when he did not
smoke. Mark Twain at the age of
80 used to smoke 800. cigars q month.
