sroRY OF A FAMOUS POEM.
How Gray's sIsiegy'' Made It's First
Public Appearance.

How Gray's sIsiegy'' Made It's First
Public Appearance.
One of the most celebrated of eight
zenith century poems, Gray's 'Elegy,"
made its first public appearance in the
shape of hurriedly printed pamphlet,
which was sold for sixpence. This pub
LEGATION was the result OF curious
race for priority. Gray { mpleted the
poem some time in 1850. but had no
immediate intention of publishing it.
A copy, however, found its way into
the hands of Mr.. Owen, the publish
er and prophets Of the Magazine of
Magazines, recently established peri
odical, and be wrote to the poet stat
ing his intention Of printing it In his
magazine. and asking his cooperation.
The proposH was not at all agreeable
to Gray, but, seeing that publication was
inevitable, he wrote at once to Horace
Walpole explaining the circumstance
and asking him to get Dodsley to print
1t Immediately, but without the au-
thor's name. Walpole handed the
poem to Dodsley on Feb. II, 1851, and
ON the Goth copy was in Gray's hands
at Cambridge, so that 1t was probably
published In London on the 18th or
10th. The Magazine of Magazines for
February; according to the then Gus
tom, was published toward the end of
the month, and may have come out on
the same day. The rival editions must
have appeared, 1t Is pretty safe to say,
within few hours Of each other. The
action Of the magazine editor was
hardly justifiable, but 1t laid the read
ing world under a debt Of obligation
by forcing the poem into print. Sew
eral original copies Of the "Elegy" in
the poets writing are in existence.
One. which was sold for s1,150 at
Sotheby's in 1875, was especially in
teresting from the number Of correc-
tons and erasures made by the au-
thor's hand. In this manuscript Gray
had substituted CROMWELL and mil
ton" for Caesar and "Tully" as he had
originally written. His friend Mason
is said to have suggested this altera-
ton as well as the title of the poem,
which Gray at first simply called
"StanZas. Golden Penny

THE PIANO TUNER.
Why He Left In Hurry After Fin

ishing His Job.
A lady stepped into a piano ware
room recently to engage a tuner, but
before doing so insisted upon the stron-
gest assurance that the tuner was re-
sponsible. She was so determined that
the manager became curious to know
the reason for her disbelief in the re-
liability of tuners. She gave her ex-
perience with the last tuner she had,
and this is the story as she told it:
He had finished tuning the piano
when he looked up and said:

TO STAMP OUT RABIES
ut SURPRISING Mad Dogs In
Three Townships.

Several cases of rabies have been
reported from the Townships of Lake
Elizabeth. Lake Lillian and East
Lake Lillian during the past weeks.
A number of cattle bitten have be-
come sick and their owners have been
obliged to kill them. Doctor J. M.
Rains investigated the matter some
time ago upon the recommendation of
the county attorney. He Witnessed
the antics of some of the affected
cattle. The critters charged about in
all directions and when driven into
the barn and finally tied up. they lay
down d kicked wildly.
DR.. Rains recommended that the
town boards take action and require
all dogs to be tied up or muzzled for
ninety days, in which time it would
become manifest which dogs were af-
fected and they could be done away
with. AS it is there is danger that
the trouble spread throughout this
and o'her counties. The county COM
missioners refused to sustain the &C.
ton taken, and little if any thing so
far has been done by the town boards.
The State Board Of Health has now
taken up the matter, and DR.. S. D.
Brimhall, Of the veterin airy depart
ment, writes DR.. Rains that the town
boards will be communicated with and
an agent of the State Board of Health
will be sent into those towns to inves-
tigate conditions. DR.. Rains is fear.
