He Gets the United States Into
Trouble Over Poetry

Copyright, 1902. by r A Elliott
HAVE known Farmer Joe White
and his family for the last two
years, and | have known that
Arabella, the only daughter. has
poetic aspirations. On several occa-
sions she has volunteered TO read me
choice selections from her pen, but l
managed TO dodge her until the other
day. Then her father waited for me
at the gate and said:
Look here, Abe. Are you a friend
Of this family
81 surely am." 1 replied.
Then / want you to spare time 10
come in and hear my gals last poem.
It's about that volcano down in Mar,
Unique. and it's a hummer. She is go
in to send it away to a New York
magazine tomorrer, and we want your
opinion Of it before it goes"
81 don't believe 1 could spare time to-
day"
"Then you are not the man 1 took
you to be"
1t was either to make the family
mad or to go in and listen to the poetry.
: and so / went in. l found Arabella in
a lutter. She had spent four months
writing and revising what she called
1.-THE Wrath of Nature" and, being
about to send it to n publisher at last,
she felt very nervous. Her father took
off his coat and sat down to hear the
reading. The mother suspended the
task of washing up the dinner dishes
and washed her face with soft soap be.
fore she fell into the rocking chair and
assumed Il pose.
"Abe. will you be honest in your
criticisms:" asks Arabe!la as she
makes ready.
Il WILL" | says.
"If it isn't up to Longfellow, will you
say so:"
"Of course"
"Who was L%ongfellow?' bluntly
asks Farmer Joe as he takes q big bite
out of the side of an apple.
ITS bound to be equal to any poetry
ever written by anybody" exclaims the
mother as she rocks to and fro. Let
me tell you. Abe, that q piano man, 6
SEWN machine agent, a windmill mar
and an artist have listened to parts OF
this poem, and every one of 'em praised
it to the skies. The artist said there
was nothin' in Shakespeare tie ap

Arabella is ready, and, standing up,
with the manuscript in her left hand

Beneath that mountains shadow
Was a city full of glee,
And not a soul was looking
For that grim calamitee."

Joe as his fist bangs the table again.

"Better and better, by thunder calls

"And all the saloons open and beer to
