THE PAY OF A POET.
rienced by the Author of Cur
few Must Not Ring Tonight"

The editor Of the Eagle. published in
Fremont, Ind, having discovered that
Mrs. Rose Hartwick Thorpe. author Of
"Curfew Must Not Ring Tonight"
once lived where the Eagle office now
stands, asked her II write something
about her life in Fremont. Her reply
shows the discouraging circumstances
under which literature is sometimes
produced. 1t also throws an informing
light on the price of poetry. Part of
it follows:
Those Fremont days were not the
happiest Of my life, by any means, and
perhaps have been only too willing to
forget them. My young husband was a
carriagemaker at that time, inexperi-
enced in many things, and was very
homesick for my old home, my mother
and the companionship Of friends from
whom l had never been separated be-
fore.
Then, too, my two babies were care
and prevented me from forming new
acquaintance. Ny memories of Ere
mont are mostly confined to four small
rooms at the back Of ;le carriage shop
and cemetery which we were obliged
to pass on our way to and from the sta
ton. Not a very pleasant memory, you
will say.
At that time my "Curfew Must Nat
Ring Tonight" was finding its way into
every corner Of the world (this was in

in 1870 and newspaper people were

OBSERVED RALLY DAY.
Sunday School Of Waugh M. E. Church
Gives Program

The Sunday school of Waugh M. e.
Church held rally day exercises in the Sun
day school room of that ediffce yesterday
morning. The room was artistically deco
rated with the fruits of the harvest, while
overhead the decorations consisted of feS-
toons of golden rod and against the walls
various agricultural products interspersed
with bright autumn leaves made beau
tiful picture. Rally day is celebrated as
the reunion of pupils teachers and school
officials who have been scattered during
the summer months, and. at the same time
it Is an offering of thanks to the Almighty
for His bounties to iearth and man. 1t is
considered a fitting revival of the great
harvest feast of gladness of ancient origin.
The exercises, which were regarded as
both interesting and inspiring, were appro-
pirate to the OCCASION The principle fea
lures consisted of Scripture reading and
prayer by the pastor, rally songs by the
pupils and congregation, a solo by Mrs.
Belle Carpenter Hepney, euphOnium SOLO
by Mr.. Charles Henney and selections by
Miss Alice Maydwelfand little Misses Elsie
Beck and Marion Baldwin.
MIR. Harry o. Hine of the Y. NJ. c. A., and
a former pupil of Waugh Sunday school,
made an address. NT. Hne referred TO the
fact that Washington has long been known
ideal city for paradeS nd a meeting
place for thousands He stated that the
sembling of multitudes yielded to one com
mon impulse. a unity of purpose. He spoke
or the SSemDllng OF ScnOOl Cfnldren early
last week, and said that the latter had for
its counterpart the rally of yesterday. The
speaker referred to the honorable record
of Waugh Church, which has just cele-
brated its mi-centennial, saying that its
success was distinctly traceable 10 the Sun
day school, its superintendent, its officers,
teachers and scholars.
Before the close of the exercises Rev. Dr.
]. E. Gilbert, dean of the Sunday Teachers
Normal College, gave a five-minute talk
in which he referred to the Overcrowded
condition of the Sunday school, and advised
that immediate steps be taken to begin the
erection of the Sunday school annex, of
which he had heard references made proph-
esying that the annex would be built upon
the completion of the new parsonage build
ing.
Waugh's next rally will probably be held
upon Thanksgiving day. it is said, when
the congrega ton hopes to welcome the pas
tor and his family into the new parsonage.
This handsome structure is rapidly ap-
preaching completion.

Staff Details in the Army.

Experience has shown that the system of
staff details in the army does not work al
together successfully in the cases of the
ordnance department and the signal corps,
and some difficulty has been found in filling
the quota Of officers needed for the proper
conduct of business in those departments.
1t is said that there is dissatisfaction with
the application of the system to other de-
partments. and ii is intimated that an eff
fort will be made to bring about a restora-
ton of the former system Of permanent as
signments to staff, corps and departments.

was deemed responsible Returning Sep
TENDER 16. Mr.. Swan, superintendent paying
off the employees on that day. He OBJ
served that Mr.. Beatty appeared to be ILL.,
and when at 2 o'clock the assistant asked
to go home no objection was made.
Next day Mr.. Swan struck balance or
his accounts and was surprised to find an
apparent shortage of $780, He thought
there might have been an error in figuring
and was going over the figures again when
a friend approached him and disclosed the
fact that Beatty was $500 short. The FRIEND
whose name has not been disclosed, said
the shortage would be made up, and, in
deed, did appear next day with the $500. It
is said the money was sent by Geographic
order by an uncle of Mr.. Beatty in I'LL
noiS.
The supplying of the deficiency rendered
police action unnecessary. but when the
facts were reported to Auditor Rittman.
and by him to Secretary Shaw, Mr.. Beatty
dismissal followed. He had departed from
his boarding house, 1910 18th street. and his
landlady claims left an Indebtedness for
board. Beatty received a salary of $1,40o,
and it is not known what he did with the
money for which he was charged by the
office.
1t is understood that while Mr.. Beatty was
in the custody of the funds of the office he
took two clerks in the office over to Balti-
more and that they all lost some money at
faro; and that subsequently he went over
to the monumental city with three clerks,
where they again played faro, and all again
lost 1t is supposed that Beatty lost the
sum Of his shortage. at the gambling table
in Baltimore. 1t is said that an investiga-
ton is now being made and it is thought
likely that the clerks who accompanied him
will come up for departmental action.
The dismissal of Mr.. Beatty will bring a
number of promotions in the office of the
auditor for the War Department. The
auditor is now making up a list Of recon-
mendations which will be submitted to the
appointing officer. Mr.. Beatty was 81, 400

Peace, Perfect Peace.

young lady OF shis city who
watched closely the trend of business
and was full of business herself, found
that disease was gnawing at her vitals
and she made full preparations for
death. She had had much of the
hurly -burly and strife of business in
her life and she longed for perfect rest
and quiet. After dissolution had
taken place her mourning friends
found sealed envelope containing the
following instructions:
''Do not lay me down by the rip
pling brookside, lest the bsbbling
lovers wake me from my dreams. nor
in the beautiful cemetery in the val
leys lest sightseers cooling over epi-
taphs distract me: but let me sleep
under the counter of the merchant and
business man who never advertises.
There is the peace that passeth all un-
derstanding, and deep is the sleep in
which neither the buoyant foot fall of
youth nor the weary shuttle of old age
will ever intrude.
