Lakewood Theater.

For the eleventh week OF their highly
successful engagement the Lakewood
Stock Co. will offer In "rhe Triumph of
Love- one Of the strongest dramas OF
society life that was ever written. The
story deals with the love and marriage
Of young American girl with a titled
Foreigner, the marriage Is kept secret
and the young husband is called away to
his native heath while the young wife is
left behind with no evidence that the
marriage ever took place. The husband
hears that his wife has died while he is
away and consequently does not return.
The wife Is very much alive and is the
mother OF child. When her husband
does not return she adopts the operate
stage as means of gaining a livelihood
and has made such success that she Is
Induced to sing abroad. This brings her
to the American Ambsssy at Paris
where she comes face to face with her
husband, who has become blind. After
intensely dramatic scenes they are
united and the love of old triumphs.
In presenting this play the company
assures the patrons of one OF the best
stories ever written and mixture of
such good things (theatrical) that the
witnessing Of 1t once will only make you
more anxious to see it again.
The matinees which will continue
throughout the season still offer the re-
served seats free to all patrons and the
the same careful performance as at
night.

What Our Eyes Do Not See.

Suppose that our eyes We're nttuned
to the vibrations revealed TO US by the
bolometer Instead of seeing the stars
that we now see we should perceive
those whose light has long been exhn
guished. whose existence the methods
OF modern physics have enabled us tC
prove. The sun would appear surround
ed by Its corona, changing tn form and
position every instant. and we should
no longer be obliged to wait for tota
eclipsee to study this phenomenon. Cur
rents of hot air would become visible

The Aims of Poetry.

In his new book, THE Rosary" the Eng
lish poet. John Davidson. has some strik-
ing things TO say of the modern poet and
his relation to the world:
1.-The prismatic cloud that Shakespeare
hung out between poets and the world! 1t
was the newspapers that brought about
what may be called an order of pre-Shak-
speareanism. 1t was in the newspapers
that Thomas Hood found the Song of the
Shirt'-in its place the most important Eng
lish poem of the nineteenth century, the
woman In unwomanly rags plying her
needle and thread is the type of the worlds
misery. The Song of the Shirt is the most
terrible poem in the English language. only
a high heart and strong brain. broken on
the wheel of life, but master of its own
pain and anguish. able TO jest In the jaws
of death, could have sung this song, OF
which every single stanza wrings the heart.
Poetry passed by on the other side. 1t could
not endure the woman In unwomanly rags.
1t hid its head like the tabled ostrich in
some sandbed Of Arthurian legends, or took
shelter In the p~aradOxical m of The
Ring and the Book The ofal or
the world is being said in statistics, in prose
fiction: il Is besides going to be sung. There
it is in the streets, the hospitals, the poor
houses, the prisons; it is a flood that surges
about our feet. 1t rises, breast-high, and IT
will be sung In all keys and voices. Poetry
has other functions, other aims; but this
also has become its province. Will 1t be
of any avail? No; nothing that can be
done avails. Poor-laws. charity organiza-
tons. dexterously hold the wound open, or
tenderly and hopelessly skin over the can
GER. Poetry has no spell TO cure II. The
world cannot be changed until II tails Dack
into the sun"
Mr.. Davidson will have none of Matthew
Arnold's theory that poetry should be "a
criticism of life" it should be. he says,
a statement of life. He also says:
ITO me il is strange that men should still
suppose, because they can speak and write.
that therefore they can say what they
think and feel. 1t is not true; thought and
feeling are themselves and cannot be eX-
pressed; words are another thing-them-
selves also: even action is a poor proxy.
Speech, written or oral, represents cerebral
ton and emotion as little as the House CT
Commons represents Great Britain. Virgil
wanted to burn the 'Aeneid;' it was not
what he meant. 1t Is probable that the
whole literature of the world is a lie."
