Frank Stockton md Poetry.

Frank Stockton never could write
successful poorl In this connection
the novelist frequently told GOOD sfo-
ry on himself. In his youth in con
junction with As brother "ohn he
wrote many poems with which he al
fiicted the editors OF various Canadian
periodicals. The effuSions always
came back The editor of one masa-
zine was an especial t3r@et of TIE
Stocktons, but rs none of tAe:t poems
was ever accepted the brothers came
to the conclusion that the editor had
no conception of good poetry.
To prove their belief they hunted up
and dispatched 70 him an ode. little
known, by Milton. Within two days
they received q check and letter OF
thanks. II came to the conclusion that
that editor knew poetry when he saw
it after ALL" Mr. Stockton used to say,
'and gave up trying to write it. Phil
