DEER IN THE WOODS.
Their Appearance Decefves All but
the Old Hunter.


Next to the difficulty of comprehend
ing the wonderful senses of the deer is
that of understanding how one looks in
the woods. Your ideas are necessarily
taken from pictures Or from stuffed
deer or tame ones in a park. You are
almost certain to be looking for a deer,
whereas you might better be looking
for anything else In the woods you
seldom see half of deer and generally
much less, often only a part of the
shoulder, or only an ear over log or a
leg under it, bit of rump projecting
from a bush or head and bit of the
neck reaching up for leaves The ar
cade of maple lit up by the scarlet Of
the ginseng and bush cranberry, the
little arbor where the wild hop is vel
lowing over the thorn apples on which
half a dozen ruffed grouse are taking
their breakfast, the edge of the pool
where the trout flashes through the
water over which the chelone is still
nodding, Or the darksome glade where
the golden petals of the witch hazel
are closing the floral march of the year
would all make lovely frames for that
charming artists deer with individual
hairs all glistening. the dark dew
claws shining, and even the split in the
hoof flashing artistic light from its
edges. But the glittering tines, the
proud neck Of the sculptured war
horse, the shaggy chest and bullying
rump with tail full Of shining hairs
are not there except at long intervals
when you may rout an old fool out of
bed and get him twisted as to the
points Of the compass.-T. S. Van Dyke

CHARGES AGAINST GOMPERS
Dispute Over the Amalgamated Strike
Gets Into Business.

New Orleans, Nov. 1S-The dispute
over the strike of the Amalgamated
Association in 1901, which the associa-
ton lost, cropped up in the Fedora
ton of Labor national conventional
yesterday in the shape Of charges made
by President Shaffer of the Amalga-
mated, against Gompers to the effect
that he had refused to lend a helping
hand to the strikers, and had neglect
ed business which he had undertaken
for the benefit of the strikers such as
interviewing J. Pierpont Morgan on
their behalf.
The charges are printed in a circu-
lar and they were printed at length
in these dispatches when they first
came out last fall. Gompers yesterday
left the chair and moved the appoint
ment of a committee to investigate the
matter and put the blame where it be-
longs. He says the charges cannot be
proved because they are false. The
committee was appointed.

STORY OF A FAMOUS POEM
How Gray's "Elegy'' Made Its ESrst
Public Appearances

How Gray's "Elegy' Made Its ESrst
Public Appearance.
One OF the most celebrated of eight
zenith century poems, Gray's "Elegy."
made its first public appearance in the
shape of hurriedly printed pamphlet.
which was sold for sixpence. This pub
LEGATION was the result Of curious
race for priority. Gray completed the
poem some time in 1850, but had no
immediate intention Of publishing it,
A copy, however, found its way into
the hands of a Mr.. Owen, the publish
er and proprietor of the Magazine of
Magazines, recently established peri
odical, and he wrote to the poet stat
ing his intention of printing it in his
magazine, and asking his cooperation
The proposal was not at all agreeable
to Gray, but seeing that publication was
inevitable, he wrote at once to Horace
Walpole explaining the circumstance
and asking him to get Dodsley to print
it Immediately, but without the au-
thors name. Walpole handed the
poem to Dodsley ON Feb. II, 1851, and
on the Goth copy was in Gray's hands
at Cambridge, so that it was probably
published in London on the 18th or
10th. The Magazine of Magazines for
February, according to the then Gus
tom; was published toward the end of
the month, and may have come out on
the same day. The rival editions must
have appeared, it is pretty safe to say,
within few hours of each other The
action of the magazine editor was
hardly justifiable, but it laid the read
ing world under a debt of obligation
by forcing the poem into print. Sew
eral original copies of the "Elegy' in
the poets writing are in existence
One, which was sold for S1,15O at
Sotheby's in 1875, was especially in
teresting from the number of correc-
tons and erasures made by the au-
thor's hand. In this manuscript Gray
had substituted ''Cromwell'' and mil
tom for Caesar and "Tully'' as he had
originally written. His friend Mason
is said to have suggested this altera-
ton as well as the title of the poem,
which Gray at first simply called
"Stanzas." Golden Penny.
