The Rural Mail Carrier Re
fafes q Case Of Poetry.
tcopyrisht. 1903. by C. r. Lew,s1

~ENERAL times of late when l
- have had mail for Uncle Joe
~ White at the Red Bridge farm
1 noticed that he was looking
worried and out of sorts. but asked
NO questions and he volunteered no in
formation until the other day. Then,
as drove up, he said to me:
"Abc, I'm in Il heap Of trouble over
my son Dan, and l want your advice"
"And what's the matter with Dan?"
/ asked.
"Wcll, about four weeks ago he took
to poetry, and he's been actin like a
'tarnal fool ever since. 1 can't get one
days work 4 week out O. him. He's ut
that poetry from morning till night,
and many night he's up till midnight
He's got an idea that hes'a new Ten
nyson and that he's going to become a
great man. I've argued and coaXcd and
threatened, but it don't do no good
"1Ierc's some of the stuff he's writ
ten, and 1 want you to read 1t and tell
me what YOU think"
The first poem handed up read as fol-
lows:
She's false to me- the girl loved;
y
MY heart will never love again
because my faith Is scattered
The second one read:
Talk not to me OF life and love,
Talk not of roses red;
Talk not Of buds and sunny skies,
But rather of the dead.
"Has he been in love and got the
throw DOWN." 1 asked of Uncle Joe.
"Not rs 1 know of. He jest seemed
to feel that way, you see. Here Is one
that is different"
The one that was different read:
ITO arms! To arms!' Sir Henry cried.
ITO arms, my brave defenders!'
And each one buckled on his sword
And frightened his suspenders
Then to the fray Sir Henry rode
And to the fray was folercd
And every time he killed q man
Most gleefully he hollcred.
Il don't know burned thing about
poetry" explained Uncle Joe, "but
do know when q fcller is making n
fool o himself That's what Dan Is
doing now, and l want to stop him. I'm
not going to board and lodge and clothe
him and let him sprawl around OH the
grass and tinker poetry. He was eating
up to write this down:
THE flowers OF May are nothing to me.
And nought are the roses of June;
l would lay down and expire for the love
OF Mariah
And die in the full OF the moon
"Abc, Is Dan fool or poet:" asked
Uncle Joe as l finished reading the
above.
"a little of both, think" replied.
"Will he ever git rich as poet?"
Il hardly think So
"Thcn. durn his hide, he's got to quit
this nonsense and git into the cornficld
l want to do what's right by my chill
drcn, Abe, but they've got to do what's
right by me.
Right now, when Dan ought to be
hnstling with a hoe, he's out under an
apple tree writing poetry with his
tongue hanging out and his eyes rollcl
up. If yor say so I'll go out there and
jump him two feet high and scare all
the poetry out of him"
81 wouldn't be too sudden, Uncle
joe" answered.
"How too suddcn?"
"Wcll, I'd give him little warning
little poetic warming. After I'm gone
you might wander out that way and
carclcssly say to Dan:
"a farmer named White he had n son,
And the son he was n great poet
And verses wrote he OF meadow and lea
And fast was the pace he did go It,"
Yes, Abe, and what else?" asked
Uncle Joe.

An Authoritative Statement Of the Nays
Side Of the Controversy.

Washington. Nay . (SpeeiaD.-COmmaReer u. F.
Halsey, secretary Of the Naval Athletic Assoeis-
ton, has issued a bulletin defining the position OF
his association the subject OF the West Point
Annapolis football controversy He says:
In the first few games played between the Two
academies the question OF training decided the
suit in the last four games, however, when both
academies have understood TIE value q good
coaching and training the difference iE age aad
consequent weight has been evident. In the last
two games the effect OF experienced players from
other colleges has also been manifest
That these athletic contests tend to develop de-
sirabIe qualities in the future officers of the army
and navy is, think. another argument IN favor
of limiting player 70 four years, N order that
these valuable qualities may be developed in
greater number OF future officers
Notwithstanding the disa greement regarding foot
ball and eligibility rules for the next wear the
navy representatives proposed to finish the athletic
contests of the present academic year scheduled.
that the baseball game OF this year be neid as
usual. and offered to play the game WITH or with
eligibility rules, and with or Wltlour the mem
bers Of the class OF 1905 who sui remained az the
academy after their graduation in February The
army, however, declined the proposition, on the
ground that it better 70 have no athletic con
tests until present differences regarding football
were adjusted
We regret the disagreement and trust an ad-
justmeat may be ached at some future time Wher
the sides further considered We believe
the games have been enjoyed by notn services anc
have been productive Of good ii bringing them TO
gether in such friendly contests

Three excellent lawn tennis matches played
yesterday afternoon to decide the places in the

contests former colegians brought together
The best OF the competitions that in which

won five games before Fuller able to get his
ground strokes inside the lines. Considera BILE
TaIying enlivened the following game, but the old
Yale expert managed TO win the points and the
set by his drives down the side lines. Fuller
while practically possessing only effective
stroke--a full forehand drive got it in working
order in the second set. He the first and
second games by passing through the centre OF
Hackett's court. The next game went to deuce
but Hackett finally won IT, only to lose the next
giving Fuller the lead at 81. AT this point
Hackett began 10 get up TO the net, and by
series OF cross court shots and brilliant overhead
strokes he took three games and finally the set
and match G-4
Another Yale man. II +. Holbrook failed in
his attempt TO defeat the veteran, o. NJ. Bost-

brought him the victory Holbrook played with
cleverness and good Judgment. At the close Hol-
