"reminiscences Of Four Poets.

"Reminiscences of Four New England
Poets was the title of a talk which gave
great pleasure to the members of the Po-
tomac Literary Club at it's meeting last
evening in the hall of the Public Library.
Rev. Edward Everett Hale the chaplain of
the Senate. was the raconteur. Mr.. Hale
was a college mate of 14ongfellow, Elmer
son. Holmes and Lowell and he INDUCED In
many happy "reminiscences of college days
last night. He said that at the time when he
was a college Lowell was apparently vast
ing his time writing poetry, but that even
then his inspired words had cheered the
hearts of thousands of his fellow men and
given them greater benefit than any other
work of his could possibly have done.
Lowelps father. he said. once remarked
that he wished that boy would quit writ
ing poetry and go to work"
All of the four poets whom he named
We're inattentive to their recitations, he
said and could oftener be found lettering
around taverns where they could court the
muse than in attending to their legitima tie
work. He related that at the time when
Lowell was TO deliver his class poem he
was serving a term of suspension of ten
weeks Concord.

tanned in the sleeping room of the detect

to rest the best he could on tables ana
