And the ways are dense with the hosts

And hurrying to and fro,

winds are crying
Round the widowed shores Of the lorg

And the black pine woods where my

And the splendor of the snow.

and river,
Where the half.breed hunters range
The snow wraiths dancing upon the
hill slopes ever.
The gray sun, low aud strange,
The bull moose skulking through
windrow and through hollow,
The creak and crunch of raquettes
where the crackers follow,
The dark spruce shades where the
forest dreams forever,
But never dreams of change.
A snowshoe track leads up from the
swamp and over,
Where the otter trappers passed,
To the drifted winter hut in the hem.

Free in the face of the grim Canadian

In Winston Churchil's new novel. The
Crisis" the scene o. which Is laid in st.
Louis. are several characters familiar to old
residents Of ST Louis. who recOsuize in

sessed 10y persons sim living. This IS es-
pecially true Of one charactet. that of MIR
Calvin Brinsmade. which seems to be a
portrayal Of the character of James r.
Yeatman of this city.
To older residents here. who knew Mr..
Yeatman at the Tine ~ The war. the re-
semblance stands out strongly. From the
description of MIR. BrinsInade. of his per
sonal appearance. of his character and of
his record. there seems little doubt that Mr..
Churchill intends 10 portray Mr. Yeatman
in the character of NE BrinsmaGe,
MIR. Churchill saws in an afterword ac-
cpmpanying the book that only such char
acters as he loves have beer drawn from
life for his novel. He is a great personal
friend of Nr. Neatman. and throughout the
entire story the character in the novel
and the character in real life are exactly
similar in many respects. The description

especially. comedies almost exactly with
that OF Mr. Yeatmau In this city at that
period.
The fact that Mr.. Brinsmade is described
as being q Southerner by birth. yet n be-
lever in the principles represented by the
Union party. is another point Of similarity.

ISIS and was en- ardent lover Of the South.

tho MAJ on o.onppf of bis pyipcipla
Mr.. Brinsmade is first introduced into the
novel incidentally. being mentioned as acting
as escort to Virginia Carvel on her way to
her fathers store. His first appearance as
q character Of the novel is made in chapter
In the first book. where he is seen by
stephen Brice and his mother coming out of
. house next door to one they wish to rent.
His appearance is described as follows:
"A gentleman came out of the larger
house next door. He was past the middle
age. somewhat scrupulously dressed In the
old fashion. in swallow-tail coat and black
stock. Benevolenoe was in the generous
mouth. in the large nose that looked like
W~ashington's. and benevolence fairly
sparkled In the blue eyes. He smiled at
them as though he had known them
always and the world seemed brighter at
That very instant. They smiled in return,
whereupon the gentleman lifted his hat
And the kindness and courtliness Of that
bow made them very happy"
The novel describes the courtesy with
which the old gentleman opened the door
of the little house at which Stephen and his
mother were looking. and the politeness
with which he showed them through the
Place. Evidently with the intention OF i'm
pressing the benevolence of the character
upon the reader. the author closes the chap
ter as follows:
"As they stood waiting for the old gen.
tleman. who insisted upon locking the door.
they observed q girl in a ragged shawl hur-

Persons acquainted with James E. Yeat-
man will find points in this passage which
are identical with characteristics possessed
by him. Tn personal appearance OF Mr..
.Neatman comedies with tina given of Mr..
brinsmade. the style OF dress he wore at
that period is ideptical. and the benevolence
of his character Is well portrayed in the
novel.
An old friend OF Mr.. Yeatman, who knew
him at the period mentioned, gave a de-
scription of his personal characteristics TO
The Sunday Republic which enhances the
similarity of descriptions.
MIR. ieatman has always been q most
courtly. disnified and benevolent character"
he said. 'benevolence especially being a
strong point. Mr.. Yeatman shows the same
kindness in addressing some little news
boy on the street that he does in greeting
a friend who may be one of the richest men
in ST. Louis.
When the Prince Of Wales visited the
city in 1850. James f. Yeatman was one OF
the accompanying him to the
Fair Grounds in carriages and entertaining
him at the hotel. Mr.. Yeatman's manner
was as digIified and courteous to the royal
guest as any court etiquette could have
asked. yet he would extend precisely the
same courtesy to any gentleman whom he
met in a business er social way.
The personal description OF Mr.. Brinu-
made in The Crisis would Mt Mr.. Yeatman
at that period exactly. MI. Yeatman was
born in 1915. and would therefore be slightly
past middle life at the period the novel
opens. His style OF clothes Is also well de-
scribed."
