Far along the worldwide whisper of
the south-wind rushing warm,
With the standards of the peoples
plunging through the thunder
storm.
Till the war-drum throbb'd no long
er, and the battle-fags were
furl'd
In the Parliament of man, the Fed
Grafton of the world.
There the common sense. of most
shall hold a fretful realm in
awe,
And the kindly earth shall slumber,
lapt in universal law,
So I triumph'd ere my passion
sweeping through me left me
dry,
Left me with the palsied heart, and
left me with the jaundiced eye;
Eye to which all order testers, all
things here are out of joint:
Science moves, but slowly, slowly,
creeping on from point to point:
Slowly comes a hungry people, as a
lion creeping higher,
Glares at one that mods and winks
behind a slowly dying fire.
Yet I doubt not thro' the ages one
increasing purpose runs,
And the thoughts of men are widen
ed with the process of the suns.

Hank dropped by my office for a
minute on his way to Frisco. Said
he liked things lively, but there was
altogether too much roughness on
Beacon Hill for him. Judged that
as the crowd which wasn't invited
was so blamed sociable, the n
which was invited would have stayed
a week if it hadn't slipped up on the
date. That might be the Boston
idea, but he wanted a little more re-
fnement in his. Said he was a pref
ty free spender and would hold his
end up, but he hated a hog. vi
course [ told Hank that Boston
wasn't all that is was cracked up to
be in the school histories and that
Circle City wasn't SO tough as II
read in the newspapers, for there
was no way of making him under
stand that he might have lived IN
Boston for a hundred years without
being invited to a strawberry Socla-
bic. Because a fellow cuts Ice Oh
the Arctic Circle it doesn't folio"
that he's going to be worth beans on

that he'd been living on snow bon.
in the Klondike for so long that u.
gas pipe was frozen, but that III.
welcome started the ice, and h.
thought about three fingers Of tho
plumbers favorite prescrintion

crowd join him? He had invited o
few friends in for the evening. Init
there seemed to be some misundor-
standing about the date; and bo
hated to have the good stuff cDrd1o
on his hands.
While this was going on the Nav
flower descendant was t~elephonino
for the police from one side and the
signer's great-grand-son from the
other, and just as the crowd yelled
and broke for the house two patrol
wagons full of policeman got there,
But they had to turn in a riot call
and bring reserves before they could
break up Hanks little Boston tea
party.
After all, Hank did what he start
ed out to do with his party-rounded
up all his neighbors in a bunch,
though not exactly according to
schedule. For next morning there
we're so many descendants and great
grandsons in the police court to pre-
fer charges hat it looked like a re-
union of the Pilgrim fathers. The
judge fined Hank on sixteen counts
and bound him over to keep the
peace for a hundred years. That
afternoon he left for the west on a
special because the limited didn't
get there quick enough. But before
going he tackled on the front door
of his house a sign which read:

But Wasn't Worth Beans in Boston.

Hank Smith Cut Ice In the circle City,
But Wasn't Worth Beans in Boston.
From Letters from a self-made Merchant
to His Son." by George Horace LOrtmer.)
[ never see a fellow trying to
crawl or to buy his way into society
hal I don't think of my old friend,
Hank Smith and his wife-Kate
Bolts she was before he married her
and how they tried to butt their
way through the upper crust.
Hank and I were boys together in
Missouri, and he stayed along in the
old town after I left. [ heard of
him on and off as tending a store a
little and farming a little and loafng
a good deal. Then [ forgot all
about him until one day a few years
ago when he turned up in the papers
as Captain Henry Smith, the Klon-
dixie gold king, just back from Cir
Gle City with a million in dust and
anything you please in claims.
There's never any limit to what a
miner may be worth in those, except
his imagination.
[ was a little puzzled when a week
later my office boy brought me a
card reading, Colonel Henry Angus
tus Bottles Smithe, but I supposed it
was some distinguished foreigner
who had come to size me up so that
he could round out his roast on Chi
cago in his new book, and [ told
the boy to show the colonel in.
I've got a pretty good memory for
faces, and I'd bought too much store
plug of Hank in my time not to
know him, even with a clean shave
and a plug hat. Some men dry up
with success, but it was just spout
ing out of Hank. Told me he'd made
his pile and that he was tired of liv-
ing on the Stag head; that he'd spent
his whole life where money hardly
whispered, let alone talked, and he
was going now where it would shout.
Wanted to know what was the use
of being a mob if a fellow wasn't the

bought a house on Beacon Hill, IN
Boston, and that if I'd prick up my
ears occasionally I'd hear something
drop into the Back Bay. Handed
me his new card four times and ex-
planned that it was the rawest sort
of dog to carry a brace of anne in
your card holster; that it gave you
the drop on the swells every time
and they just had to throw up both
hands and pass you the pot when
you showed down. Said that Bottles
was old English for Bolts and that
Smythe was new American for
Smith; the Augustus was just a fan
cy touch, a sort of high card kicker.
I didn't explain to Hank, because
it was congratulations and not ex-
plantations that he wanted, and [
make it a point to show a customer
the line of goods hat he's looking
for. And I never heard the full par
ticulars of his experiences in the
east, though from what [ learned af-
terward Hank struck Boston with a
bang all right.
He located his claim on Beacon
Hill between a Mayfower descendant
and a Declaration signer's great
grandson, breeds which believe that
when the Lord made them he was
through and that the rest of us just
happened. And he hadn't been in
town two hours before he started in
to make improvements. There was
a high wrought iron railing in front
of his house, and he had hal gilded
first thing, because as he said, he
wasn't running a receiving vault and
he didn't want any mistakes. Then
he bought a nice open barouche, had
the wheels painted red, hired a mig
ger coachman and started out in
style to be sociable and get acquaint-
ed. Left his card all the way down
one side of Beacon Street and then
drove back, leaving it on the other.
Everywhere he stopped he found
that the whole family was out. Kept
is up a week, on and off, but didn't
seem to have any luck. Thought
that the men must be hot sports and
the women great gadders to keep on
the jump so much. Allowed that they
were the liveliest little lot of feas
that he had ever chased. Decided to
quit trying to nail 'em one at a
time and planned out something that
he reckoned would round up the
whole bunch.
Hank sent out a thousand invita-
tiOns to his grand opening, as he
called it; left one at every house
within a mile. Had a brass band on
the front steps and fireworks on the
roof. Ordered forty kegs from the
brewery and hired a fancy mixer to
sling together mild snorts, as he
called them, for the ladies. They
tell me that when the band got to
going good on the steps and the fire
works on the roof ever Beacon
Street looked out the windows to see
what was doing. There must have
been 10000 DeODla in the street and

wrong;
Saying, "Dost thou love me, cousin"
weeping, II have loved thee
long,"
Love took up the glass of Time, and
turned it in his glowing hands;
Every moment, lightly shaken, ran
itself in golden sands.
Love took up the harp of Life, and
smote on all the chords with
might,
Smote the chord of Self that, tremb-
ling, pass'd in music out of
sight.
Many a morning on the moorland
did we hear the cOpses ring
And her whisper thronged my pulses
with the fulness of the spring,
Many an evening by the waters did
we watch the stately ships,
And our spirits rushed together at
the touching of the lips.
o my cousin, shallow-hearted! o
my Amy, mine no more!
O the dreary, dreary moorland! 0
the barren, barren shore!
Well-'tis well that I should buster!
-Hadst thou less unworthy
proved
Would to God-for I had loved thee
more than ever wife was loved!
Can I but relieve in sadness? I will
turn that earlier page.
Hide me from thy deep emotion, 0
thou wondrous Mother-Age!
Make me feel the wild pulsation that
I felt before the strife,
When I heard my days before me and
the tumult of my life;
Yearning for the large excitement
that the coming years would
yield,
Eager-hearted as a boy when first he
leaves his fathers field,
And at night along the dusky high
way near and nearer drawn,
Sees in heaven the light of London
faring like a dreary dawn;
And his, spirit leaps within him, to
be gone before him then,
Underneath the light he looks at, in
among the throngs of men;
Men, my brothers, men the workers,
ever reaping something new:
That which they have done but earn
est of the things hat they shall
do.
For I dipt into the future far as
human eye could see,
Saw the Vision of the world, and all
the wonder that would be;
Saw the heavens fill with commerce,
argosies of magic sails,
Pilots of the purple twilight, drop
ping down with costly bales;
Heard the heavens fill with shout
ing, and there rained a CHASTITY
dew
From the nations airy navies crap
ping in the central blue;

money with reckless prodigality, and
will help put IN a good business man. T"
