IN THE GOSSIP'S CORNER

Not alone lovers of Omar Khayyam, and
their name is legion, but lovers OF Walt
Whitman, who are scarcely less numerous,
will find joy in reading Dialogues in
Hades." Jean n. McIlwraith's venture in
the June Atlantic. Homer, Virgil, Dante
and Milton rank highest of the many poets
who have found themes beyond the limits
OF time and sense, in the undiscovered
Land of No Return, whose mysteries no
finite mind can know. Modern poets nave
given us ''Epics of Hades" and other like
fantasies in which the imagination runs
riot because 1T has no stable foundation on
which TO rear its structure. / am not one
of those who welcome with acclaim every
message of this kind from the underground
world, but as something of a student of
old Omar and a somewhat distant admirer
of Whitman / nave been glad TO read the
Dialogues in Hades' as presenting a COM
parison of the works of the two which is
not altogether to the disadvantage of the
Tentmaker, and is, besides, more cleverly
written than most of the works of similar
import modernly produced. Omar well
comes Whitman as a pilgrim from a land
undreamed of when he left the world eight
centuries ago. and persists in regarding
him as a natural outgrowth of the savage
country whence he came. He is surprised
that any one can regard Whitman's bar

the kind really in vogue on earth at pres

be-" and admits that his countrymen are
so taken up with Omar's quatrains that at
present they have but little time for him.
There is some more discussion of the
relative merits of the two writers in gen.
eral terms, and Omar then accuses Whit

charge by many quotations from Leaves

JUMPED ABOUT Until He Found the Right Food.

What a hades some people go through
 because their food does not supply the
 right kind of nourishment to the body
 Take the following for example:
 A gentleman in Baltimore says: About
 two years ago l began to experience a
 peculiar depression occasionally with
 pains in the back part of my head and
 down along the spine Gradually my
 eyesight began to fall and my memory
 grew poor A general nervousness set in.
 I used all the will power I could com mand to help myself but was forced to give up a good position and seek the ad- vice of the family doctor. He said neur- asthenia and sent me to a great nerve specialist So for four months l was mas saged and dosed with medicine, but all to no benefit: then I went to New York and consulted Dr. --. He sent me to another great specialist. and he in turn sent me to - Sanitarium where 1 stayed for long time.
 It was the same old story. I was dosed with medicine and massaged and bathed Finally l left there and went to another specialist who told me l would only live a few months. This rather frightened me and I placed myself under pr. -. He said the stomach was at fault and probably l had not been given the right kind of food.
 He put me on certain line of treat ment and insisted that l use three or four of Grape-Nuts each meal. I was under his care for several months. I steadily improved until now am fully restored to both mental and bodily vigor.
 He explained to me that Grape-Nuts contained a Goodly portion of phosphate of potash, a nerve and brain food, and that the food being partially digested the system could make use of it easily. At my rate I got well and both the doctor md myself know that Grape-Nuts made t possible.
 l sincerely believe that practically all ,f our nervous troubles are caused by imperfect nourishment. It was fortunate Tor mo that I could get such food as You can use this letter but lont publish my name, please" Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek, Mich.

The affair created great eK- cltsment at the time Both sides claim ed to have acted in sclf-defense and that the other side shot first. The evidence was concluded yesterday and the case is now with the jury.
 The evidence was conflicting, that for were the aggressors and that introduced by the defendant showing that he shot only after Cash had drawn pistol and was attempting his life. Cash himself was not n witness In the case. He Is under indictment found by the same grand Jury which indicted Dozier, charg- ing him with assault with intent to mur- der.

Cash then jerked out his pistol and Byron knocked his hand up and I then hit at him with my stick. This caused him to run into the street and he then began to fire at Byron.
 The defendant Byron Dozier, testified that he and his father were going to the postoffice and that he did not know Cash was around until he approached them. He first noticed the fierce way he was looking at him and then saw him make motion as If he were about to pull his pistol.
