SovthevN Poetvv.


Who opens a pew for a moneyless man. Go look in the banks, where Mammon has told His hundreds and thousands in silver and gold; Where, safe from the hands of the starv.
 ing poor, Walk up to the counter An! There you Till your limbs grow old, till your hairs
 grow gray, And you'll find at the banks not one of
 the clan With money to loan to a moneyless man! Go look at yon judge, in his dark flow
 ing gown, With the scales whereon law weigheth
 equity down Where he frowns on the weak and smiles
 on the strong. And punishes right while he justifies
 wrong; Where juries their lips to the Bible have
 laid To render a verdict they've already made Go there in the courtroom and find, if
 you can, Any law for the cause of a moneyless
 man. Then go to your hoyel-no raven has fed The wife who has suffered too long for
 her bread; Kneel down by her pallet and kiss the
 death frost From the lips of the angel your poverty
 lost; Then turn in your agony upward to God And bless while 1t smites you the chas-
 tening rod, And you'll find at the end of your lifes
 little span There's a welcome above for moneyless
 man,

A literary critic. says writer in the Baltimore Sun. has said, Among South ern poets there is a dead level of me- diocrity, from which but one name (that of Poe) may rise"
 It is not for even the most enthusiastic admirer of the poets of the South to claim for all of them pre-eminence in song This would be as idle as to claim for all the poetasters of New England the fullness of the gift of Longfellow or for all the poetlings of England the genius of Tennyson. We may however, wheth- CT we are of North, East, West or South, yield to our native poets love and ad- miration. This given, critical examina- ton of the qualities of poetical excel lence is not to dlsparage, but to grade in our regard the objects of our affection. By comparison of our poets with those of other peoples We may estimate our own in the larger scale of universal val ues. The correctness of this valuation is not to be ascertained except through the meeting of many minds.
 It is interesting to examine the estimate put upon some of the southern poets by critics who are not in entire sympathy, because of birth or inclination, with the south. The detail of such an eXamina- tion would here be tedious. The general result can. however be briefly stated. In a previous article we have spoken of q host of singers whose voices have rung clear and true, but we will now speak of men whose work has won a larger and more widespread recognition than have the productions of their fellows. First among them stands Edgar Allan Poe (of whom-with Lanier-we shall speak In future article). Of Poe, Barrett Wendell, in his recently published Literary Ills tory of America" says:
 ITO turn only to the bigllography Tn the last volume of Stedman & Woodber- rvs admirable edition of Poe, it appears that between 1890 and 1895 there were at least ten translations from his works into various foreign languages, among others Swedish something that looks like Bone milan, Italian, Danish and South Amerl- can Spanish. Certainly among the liter ary classes of Europe no American au- thor has attracted more attention than Poe whose influence still seems extend ing" This from the distinguished profess sor of English at Harvard College but voices the sentiment of most critics and at least lifts one poet above the dead level of mediocrity."

The mighty 90 Tigers" of Homes

Crescents the crackajack team from
this city, in an interesting game at
Lake Lodore yesterday afternoon. The
score was 10 to 6.
The game was Carbondale's all the
time and the only occasion in which
things seemed to be going Maple city
way was in the fifth inning. when the
Tigers put themselves one ahead of
the game In the last inning the Cres-
cents made good. scoring four runs.
The team work of the CresCents was
admirable and in giving credit there
doesn't seem to be single player who
can be given more praise than another.
Smith and LOTUS and Hessling and
Veeter were the batteries.
There was a great aggregation of
rooters from Carbondale and Homes
dale, and there was vociferous cheer
ing and a running fire of Kidding
from the beginning to the end of the
contest.
If there is one thing more than an
other that the result of the game will
bring about ii is the checking of the
exuberance of the Honesdale corre-
spondents who have spent the week in
throwing boquets at their Tigers"

night and as there was nothing about
the place to cause a blaze, a number

terry that Policeman Smith has under
taken to unravel and if "Lafe" does
not unravel it. it's because there's no

AS in that instance Policeman Lafay-

all else. and if it is in his power be
means to suppress the lawless spirits
who might drift into the peaceable life
of Waymart and give play to their
mischief.
Speaking of Mr.. Smith it might be
mentioned that he possesses an his
torical name of which few persons can
boast. He is known and called La
fayette, but this is only a fragment of
his surname. In full il runs as fol-
lows: Marie Jean Paul Roach Ives ed

The good natured policeman would not
burden his friends with addressing
him so; plain "Lafe" Smith is good
