A POETS ALOOFNESS.
The Manner In Which Wordsworth
Was Regarded by His Neigh bOrs,


The worthless of Wordsworth's vii
lage in the lake country of England
had their own ideas of his value as
man and a poet. When questioned
after his death as to his personality
they readily admitted that he was kind
to those who were in sickness or need.
They could count on him on a pinch.
But he did not hobnob with his neigh
bors.
HE did not notice them much" said
an old man in answer to questions
asked by the author of Lake Country
Sketches"
"a Jem Crow and an auld blue cloak
was his rig" continued the old man.
And as for his habits, he had moan.
Niver knew him with pot i his hand
Or pipe + his mouth"
After deep probing the author brought
out:
Eyes; Wordsworth was fond of
good dinner at times If you could get
him to it. That was the job.'
Then the poets aloofness was again
touched upon.
HE was forever pacing the roads
and his own garden walks and always
composing poetry. He was terrible
throng in visitors and folks We nun
ken at times, but if he could get ava
fra them a spell he was out upon his
walk
"And then he would set his head a
bit forrad and put his hands behint his
back. And then he would start album
ming, and it was bum, bum, bum, and
go on bumming for long enough right
down and back again. suppose, We
ken, the bumming helped him out

In Studies In Contemporary Biogra.
phy," by James Bryce, there occur two
stories which caused some of the critics
to express astonishment at the mod
esty Of the great" The stories are
these:
Meeting Mr.. Gladstone in the lobby
and seeing his face saddened by the
troubles in Ireland, Mr.. Bryce tried to
sivert his thoughts by mentioning
recent discovery-to wit, that Dante
had been saved from want in his last
years by lectureship at Ravenna. Mr..
Gladstone's face lit up at once, and he
said, How strange it is to think that
these great souls, whose works are
beacon light to all the generations that
have come after them, should have had
eares and anxieties to vex them in their
daily life just like the rest of us COM
mon mortalsp
"The words reminded me-" adds the
author, "that a few days before had
heard Mr.. Darwin, in dwelling upon
the pleasure a visit paid by Mr.. Glad
stone had given him, say, And he talk
ed just as if he had been an ordinary
person like one Of ourselves The two
men were alike unconscious Of their
greatness"
1t is only the little who think them
selves great. They are like those who
do not know much and therefore i'm
agine that there is not much to know.
The great do not think themselves so,
Just as the learned are overwhelmed by
their ignorance

When work is hard and

PEBBLES.

In the Memoir" of Robert Chambers
by his brother William is delightful
allusion to PEBBLES, their birthplace and
a spot ever warm in the loving MEM

One of these, man who had lived
there all his life, was enabled by some
uplift of fortune to visit Paris. When
he came back his townsmen gravely
gathered about him.

tened, ''tell us aboot it."

Not 50 Sleepy

The Statesman Of Thursday tells of
a IA year old glrl somnambulist who
went to bed on train leaving
Pocatello. She arose in her sleep
and jumped out of the window as the
train sped along at the rate of so
miles an hour. She was missed 20
minutes later. A party sent back to
look for her found her still asleep
along side the track with only a few
scratches. That story is not SO
sleepy, after all.

The gist of the game law has al

a Spokane man inaugurated a
test case against the Idaho game

ground of discrimination against
non-residents in forcing them to pay
more than residents for a license.
But as far as the Signal has been
able TO learn the case has never been
decided.
The following appears in an ex-
change: "A boy up at Wardner was
arrested for fishing for pollywogs
without license and was convicted
and sentenced TO thirty days. 1t is
said that the lad had many sympa.

WHY NOT ORGANIZE Too?.

Your town is one-road town and
we do not have to bother with it, is
the way an official of the great Rock
Island system expressed himself to the
editor of the Vinton Eagle recently.
In pursuance of this policy the road has
done as 1t has with dozens of other
..one- road" towns in Iowa. 1t has cut
the train service down to the very last
train and is ignoring appeals for bet
ter accommodations
This is one sample of what absence
of competition means. Another is fur

the great packing houses of the coun-

wrath of their customers, have effected
a saving of $4,000 d year by ceasing the
delivery OF meat. Hereafter the retail

when he wants 1t. If he does not wish

CASE OF, MISTAKEN IDENTITY


The Mount Pleasant News, edited by
Oil Inspector Rogers. says in late
issue:
The Gate City is trsfie luke-warnl
in it's support Of the state administfa
ton. but it's editorial page Is always IN
teresting just the same and is deserv-
ing the support OF Keokuk and the
field 1T SO we'll fills. But 1t Is too bad
that such an influential and interesting
paper should permit even a suspicion
Of hostility to the state administration
or the republican platform. To tell
the truth we believe The Gate City
all right at heart but little timid On
account of its environments.
There is a mistake in the above. but
it is perhaps pardonable under the CIR
cumstances. So far from being in an?
degree lukewarm in support OF the
state administration, The Gate City en-
dorses it very cordially. 1t has been
clean, able, dignified and in every way
what state administration should be.
From the first 1T has been one of the
very best Iowa ever had The
Iowa platform this year is all right, too.
This paper has already given it thu
warm endorsement it deserves. The
error Of the News is in confoundins
itself with the state administration
case of mistaken identity, as 1t We're.
The Gate City confesses it has not
been warming up to the News.
