THE POET sTGDDARD DEAD.

New YORK, May II. Richard Hen
ry Stoddard, the poet, died today at his
residence in this city. Mrs. Stoddard
died less than a year ago, and lhls son,
Lorimer Stoddard, is also Cead. Mr..
Stoddard was the only one of the fam
lily left. For IL week past he had been
confined to his bed with rheumatism of
the heart and ills incident to old age.
Richard Henry Stoddard, deanN Of
American poets, was New York
match boy. He was born in Hinghalm,
Mass, July 2, 1925. The Stoddard FAM
lily had settled there as early as 1881
He ancestors were seafaring folk and
when the future poet was only two
years old his father was lost at sea.
The widow married again and when
Richard was 10 years old, the family
moved to New York.
They were poor. The lad sold matches
in the streets, worked later as office
boy, and finally became an ironmolder.
But poorly educated, he was fond OF
reading, spending for books the fifty
cents week his mother used to allow
from his earnings for his spending
money. AS lad even, and later as a
young ironworker, he read Keats,
Wordsworth, Shelley and other English
poets. He tried writing himself, found
a publisher for one modest poem and
eventually won his firm place in hearts
both Of the public and publishers.
Some of his best known creations are

License in New Hampshire.

New Hampshire cities seem to be as
pleased with license as child with a
new toy. Every one OF the eleven cities
voted for license by heavy maJorltfes,
May 18th, while at the same time 9
large majority of the rura! towns voted
against license. All this is not surprls:
ing, or even remarkable. 1t is the usual
way the thing goes in States where the
local option system is in vogue; that is,
the cities as a rule are for license and
the country towns for prohibition
Usually, however, there are exceptions,
and we see cities, as in Massachusetts,
going now license and now no-license'
It is. however, a novelty in New Hamp.

Old Songs.

Adown the years they come to me
From out the crypts of time.
With haif-forgotten melody
And family falling rhyme;
With here and there a broken chord,
A missing word or phrase,
But sweet as angel whispers are
The songs of bygone days.
A snatch of college drinking song,
A verse of cradle-hymn,
A bar OF tender serenade
Sang when the stars were dim;
The truant strains they come and go
Like sparks Of smoky haze
A tangle of sweet memories,
The songs of bygone days.
And as the measures float along
Like shadows DER the sea,
Across the drifting bloom of years
Lost faces smile on me;
Eyes dimmed in deaths eternal night
Meet mine in friendly gaze
| kiss the marble lips that sang
Those songs of bygone days.
Old tunes touch hidden chords in hearts
Long mute with age or pain,
And give us for a fleeing space
Lost faith and hope again.
Within Cloudland's PARKWAY
Where swell the hymns of praise,
God grant the angels sometimes sing
The songs of bygone days.

sor Magazine.

Making Garden.

Get out the old wheelbarrow, the shovel and
the rake,
The mornings bright and sunny and the
exercise you need
The back yards full of litter and the gar
denis yet to make,
It's time to get II READY LOT the sowing ol
the seed.
Dead leaves and shattered china and dis
used tomato cans,
With scraps of rags and paper on the
lawn are lying thick,
If for yard of beauty you have any SCR
of plans,
You want to get 10 raklng anu Set dt IL
mighty quick.
You'd best get at that raking, there's pile
of work to do:
It's been too long neglected-it was time
Just see the pile of ashes where the wild
cucumber grew;
The sticks and straws and weed stalks
make most unsightly show,
The border wants replanting and you've
got the beds to spade.
You'll have to separate the soil from cob
ble-StOneS and brick,
The walk must have some gravel you must
hustle, I'm afraid.
You want to get to raking, and get at it
mighty quick.
I'd hurry with that raking. You have put
it off too long,
You seem to have the fever that's peculiar
to the spring.
The weeds won't wait, you'll notice; they
are always feeling strong.
You ought to get right in, for old Time is
on the wing.
You know you want a garden that will
blossom as the rose,
With hollyhocks and lima beans and
radisheS to pick.
But YOU must work to get 'em and the first

You want to get raking, and get at it
