The Old Sword on the Wall.


Where the warm spring sunlight, stream
ing,
Through the window, sets it cleaning,
With softened silver sparkle in the dim
and dusky hall,
With its tassel torn and tattered
And it's blade deep bruised and battered,
Like the veteran, SCARED and weary, hangs
the old sword on the wall.
None can tell it's stirring story,
None can sing it's deeds of glory,
None can say which cause it struck for, or
from what limp hand it fell;
On the battlefield they found it,
Where the dead lay thick around it,
Friend and foe-a CORY tangle-tossed and
torn by shot and shell.
Who, I wonder, was its wearer,
Was it's stricken soldier bearer?
Was he some proud Southern STRIPPING, tall
and straight and brave and true?
Dusky locks and lashes had he?
Or was he some Northern laddie,
Fresh and fair, with cheeks of roses, and
with eyes and coat of blue?
From New Engand's fields of daisies,
Or from DiXie's powered maZeS
Rode he proudly forth to conflict? What,
wonder, was his name?
Did some sister, wife or mother
Mourn a husband, son or brother
Did some sweetheart look with longing for
a love who never came?
Fruitless question! Fate forever
Keeps It's secret, answering never,
But the grim old blade shall blossom on this
mild Memorial Day;
l will wreathe it's hit with roses
For the soldier who reposes
Somewhere meath the Southern grasses in
his garb of blue or gray.
May the flowers be fair above him,
May the bright buds bend and love him.
May his sleep be deep and dreamless till the
last great bugle call;
And may North and South be nearer
To each others heart and dearer,
For the memory of their heroes and the old
swords the wall.

ried out during the week of celebration
closed fttingly with the greatest of pa
geants. Madrid was filled with an i'm
mense crowd of visitors from all parts
of Spain and the world. Just as in Lon
don, where members of the aristocracy
vie with one another in attempting to
make the most of the opportunity, the
grandees of Spain on this occasion en-
deayored to maintain their reputation
for splendor.
Throughout the proceedings the queen
mother, who for the last sixteen years
has been unremitting in her care and at
tention to this boy remained at his side.
She, too, was acclaimed in the streets OF
the capital during the procession to and
from the Cortes, for the queen has won
the hearts of the Spaniards, who at first
were inclined to look upon her with dis
trust.

All Ewes on Alfonso,

Will Alfonso be a good king? Will he
be strong enough to combat the thou
sand and one discordant elements that
harass Spain? Will he be master or
merely a titular sovereign? Will he be
able to cope with the intrigue that has
paralyzed the activities of his country
for many years? In short will be be
king in fact as we'll as in name? These
are questions which are uppermost in
the minds not only of Spaniards but
of responsible statesmen throughout Eu-
rope. Some affect to have discovered in
him the weaknesses of his father, who
was not strong enough to fight the royal
battle. Others. and among them are some
of the shrewdest men in Spain, feel GER
tain that he will do what he has sworn
and uphold the honor of Spain against
all the world; that he will sacrifice his
life for the service and protection of his
country and his people, and that nothing
will cause him to sWerve from the path
of duty.
Alfonso considered the Cuban war a
mistake. He has his own ideas on the
management of his army and no doubt
will make an attempt at a clean sweep
as soon as he is old enough or when he
finds himself firmly in the saddle. Then
will come the test of kingship-the strug-
gle between inalienable custom and mod
ernity, the tug of war between the SOW
ereign and his proud, never-changing
grandees.

Miss Morey won signal triumph
last night, and her work stamped her
as facile princeps among all the lead
ing women who have appeared here.
With a tall slender and well turned
form, she walks the stage like one to
the manor born. her voice Is rich,
full and sympathetic, her enunciation
perfect. Her gowns-well they are
gorgeous and stunning creations in
the highest art of the dressmaker
and the two robes, which sne wore
in the last two acts of the play last
night, represent a sung fortune. Seen
through the cruel and unrelenting lense
of an opera glass, Miss Morey is still
young, and undoubtedly has brilliant
future as an emotional actress.

Spanish Countess. Miss Morey has an
excellent opportunity of displaying her
ability as an actress.

including Sicily and Sardinia, 49,379;
Russian empire and Finland, $4,000;
Japan, 1901; Sweden, 1853; German

and he says he did not "denounce"
Longfelow, or "deprecate" Milton.
Further he did not say that Shore
Acres" and Blue Jeans" were the
greatest of dramatic compositions. He
did not place himself in the list Of
great novelists, though had he done so
it would have been quite modest of
him. Moreover, he did not dub Shake
speare and Dante fetiches. It's all
right, Mr.. Garland, we know that your
heart is in the right place, and If you
did not say something once in a while
that would do for head line, we might
forget about you. So far as reported
no one has risen to state that his
apology is not acceptable.
But the trouble of Garland fades
away before the agony of mind now
being suffered by Julian Ralph, not be-
cause his words have been twisted or
misquoted, but because of a statement
about him recently made in a literary
paper and which gave him the shock
of his life. 1t was to the effect that
Julian Ralph is not a literary man."
Mr.. Ralph does not protest, except hui
morously, and yet after reading his let
ter one is sure that he does consider
himself literary man. Let it be; it is
too warm for disputes.
What Is Fame?
In this age of criticism and caviling,
when only the fittest survive, literary
folk have their own troubles and While
making a noble effort to write so as to
suit the crowd, and yet endeavoring to
win golden opinions from captious
critics, their lives are not all sunshine.
If they tell the naked truth about Incl
dents somewhat sensational, they are
eagerly bought by the man in the
street, and condemned as to realistic
by those whose dictum they prize. But
should they write a book, the literary
value of which is undoubted, they are
warmly received by reviewers, but the
crowd passes them by. In the long run
critics do very little to make or mar a
book. And who shall say what is
fame? 1t is popularity, immense sales,
your picture in the Sunday supple
ments, and the critics laughing at you
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1902-07-19

behind your back, while you enjoy
life of ease spending the resultant lu-
ere? Or is it the appreciation of the
discerning few, while you live in a
third-story back and smoke a pipe in
stead of cigars, because it's cheaper
and dream of the tardy enthusiasm of
the people after they have been edu-
Gated up to you? Poor, slovenly writ
ing is heartily condemned, but what
is known as fine writing is despised
by those who know, as a mark of in
sincerity. Fine writing does not ring
true. But where is the man who would
deliberately choose post mortem ap-
probation of real literature, with pres
ent bread and cheese, rather than au-
tomobile and champagne provided by
the imitation of literature which pro-
cures in this age many pleasant things
and lives short but merry life? What
has posterity done for you that you
should provide posterity with a great
name at the expense of your own COM
fort? thus argue some that might do
better in many directions If the truth
were known.
Hyne's Story "DereIict."
Cutliffe Hyne, who writes such de-
Eghtful sea stories, is an indefatigable
traveller. His story, 'DereIict," is
among the summer publications, and
he estimates that in obtaining the in
cidentS for it he Travelled a distance
that would have taken him round the
world. The creator of Capt. Kettle is
thoroughly at home on deck or fo'cas-
tie and writes with thorough knoWl-
edge and appreciation of the sea.
Miss Caroline Ticknor, whose story,
"Antoine's Love-" is in the current Lip
pincott, is a granddaughter of Benja-
min HI. Ticknor, founder of the we'll
known publishing house Of Ticknor &
Fields. For ten years or more Miss
T1cknor has been contributing short
stories and articles to magazines, be-
side writing many humorous sketches.
Her first sustained effort, "a Hypo-
critical Romance" appeared in 1896,
and was soon followed by Miss Bella
donna" Miss Ticknor, for some years
now, has been doing editorial work
and has collaborated with two well
known men in collecting famous
speeches and choice selections. Miss
Ticknor is known as an athletic young
woman.
Another woman who is coming to
the front is a Southerner, Maude An
| nulet Andrews, who, under the name OF
Mrs. Kingsley Oil, has been writing
the woman's page for the Atlanta Con-
stitution. She has now removed to
Washington, but spends most of her
| time in travelling in France and Eng
| land. Her story in Lippincott's this
month is named in way to parody the
title of a tale of Mrs. Craigie's; it is
| called "a Lady, a Mortal and the -Four
