A Lomgfellow Incident

D EADING Mr. Howell's THE White Longfellow''
IN suggested incident which think has never
been in print. 1t told to the writer by the late
G. W. Durell, the day that Longfeow told it to him
Durell was classmate OF the poets and as they
were chatting together in the poets home
at Nahant they naturally fell into "reminiscences of
college days and thus opened the way the narration
of the following incident:
1t will be remembered that not long after the pubca
ton of "Hawatha" Longfellow had bestowed upon
him degree by English university which event
occurred while the poet in England and he
described it as follows
The exercises were held in thcater which was
well filled with undergraduates. Those of who
to receive degrees the customary red gowns
and occupied the stage. As entered l immcd-
ately recognized, and You hardly imagine my
surprise to hear shouted from the gallery: Three
cheers for the Red Man of the West"!' The cheers
were gwen with resonant unanimitv, and | stood
transfixed by the tumultuous enthusiasm. The deli
cate alusion to my Hiawatha conveyed in the title
Red Man of the West pleased me than | can
tell YOU, for you and l know that college boys en-
thusiasm is genuine
Durell said that the poet showed unmistakabv
that he appreciated the compliment. and though
modestv forbade his making much mention of it. it
naturally out when speaking with classmate
whose admiration for the poet temporarily over
shadowed by memories of the days when fame was
still hidden in the future

for the doom that all surely ovcrwhelms them
Considering the hardships associated in marine
circles with rounding the Horn, perhaps one of
the foolhardy of voyages that of
the boat Golden Gate, nineteen feet long, which in
1879 attempted the trip from Boston around Cape
Horn to San Francisco. She manned by Herbert
Berril and Andrew Coan of Nantucket, but they
experienced such misadventures that they landed
the Brazil coast and abandoned the attempt.
Although the Atlantic has been the of most
of these temerarious voyages other have not
been without their quota Everybody is familiar
with the story of Captain Joshua Socum, who in
April, 1905, started from Boston and crused around
the world in the forty-foot yawl Spray, built by him.
SELF returning to Boston in June, 1898, having covered
total of forty-six thousand miles in the interim.
He had been emboldened to this by the fact that
few years previously. when the ship he commanded
wrecked off the coast of Chile, he built small
craft from the wreckage and sailed her round Cape
Horn and up the Atlantic New-York distance
of seven thousand miles.
Captain Voss, Canadian in British Columbia
determined to outdo Slocurns record. and in May,
1901, started with one companion named B1gent to
sail around the world in Alaska-InGian canoe.
She followed out of solid cedar forty years
ago by the Indians and weighed only two and half
tons. In the South Pacific Begent washed
board, but Eoss secured another assistant at Cape
Town. and after calling at Ponta Delgada Azores
succeeded in reaching London September OF this
year, having covered forty thousand miles of the
long journey up to this time. Two named Nap

And now she is archly smiling,
AS she roguishly beckons again
In the door of a little red cottage
At the turn Of little red lane.
And now she has come to the window
Where clambering flame-vine
clings;
And the murmuring Groom of the
embers
Is love song that she sings.
And ever and ever she cheers me
AS ! sit by the crate alone
My dear little freight sweetheart
With face that is like your own,
AS there in the dancing doorway
She saucily mods her head,
In a Pickering frock of crimson
And tiny. wee tippet of red.

CITIZENS MEETING
Disposition Shown to Sustain
the Action of the
Council.
Citizens Committee to Act With
Officials as to Sew
age Disposal

The mass meeting of citizens, called
pursuant to resolution passed at the
last meeting Of the city council to
consider the question of sewage dis
posal, was held on Monday evening, it
being the first occupancy by the city
of the new council chamber at the
new courthouse. The attendance to
consider by far the most Important
financial as well as sanitary problem
that eve confronted the city was dis
appointingly slim.
The business opened with a motion
by Frank Brown that Mayor Aldrich
act as chairman of the meeting. Mr..
Brown was then made secretary.
Statements as to object of the meeting
were made by Mayor Aldrich and by
City Auditor Stroupe. The gravity
OF the situation seemed to impel the
mayor and council to appeal to the
representative business men of the
City for their advice and support in
the difficult problem of sewage dis
posal. It was stated that two plans
for sewage disposal were under con-
%sideratlon. One was that prepared
by B. Williams, the protector of our
present sewerage system, and also a
proposition by the city engineer, Mr..
Washburn. 1t developed also that
there is question as to sufficincy OF
the vote by which the bonding quey.
tion carried.
A motion by Col. Howard that
a committee of five citizens, n from
each ward and n at large be ap.
pointed by the mayor, on being put
prevailed unanimously. The mayor
stated he was not then prepared te
name the committee, but would an
nounce them the following day.
A desultory discussion then follow
ed. Ex-Mayor McGlachlin said he
was surprised and disappointed thai
citizens had not shown more interest
in the vitality important improvement
under consideration. Col. Howard

thought perhaps some people refrain-
ed from attending the meeting and.
taking part in the proceedings for
fear they might be thereby estopped'
from exercising later on the Amer
ican-born right to kick.
Isaac Lincoln said that perhaps it
vas all right to have a committee to
act with the city officials, but the
people certainly had Entrusted TIC
these oficials by their votes the pow
er to act in the matter; and the
proper thing is to 60 ahead
and do what they think best and new

not to any committee of private
citizens the people had intrusted their
confidence. That If there was a
doubt of the legality Of the bond is

ing to Bring Com.
peting Line.

Charles Nj. Hollingshea,i, secretary
or tile Social Telephone Company,
arrived In Aberdeen Thursday morn.
isig, having canvassed along tile
proposed telephone line from Hec!a to
Aberdeen through Columbia, since
Monday morning. He reports the en-,
c engagement to extend their line in
this direction as being excellent.
This Social Telephone Company of
liscla is in enterprise of scarcely u
years growth and yet it has already
succeeded in becoming firmly eslab-
lislleu a,u an indispensable conyen-
fence to this patrons. The line ex-
tends from Heelainte Marshall county
covering a large portion of the town
ship of Portage, There are 80 tele-
phones on the line, with So new phones
contracted for aud all material for
the new lines or6ered. The new ex-
tension reaches Britton, Kidder, New
ark and Havana, in addition to the
numerous faliiis connected along the
route.
The membership fee is $45 and this
amount is sufficient to buildsoae mile
of line with full equipment. so that
a line can be built and fully paid for
any where a sufficient number OF
members can . be secure to average
for each mile. There is no charge
for the use OF tile line by members
but nowin making the extension to
the neighboring towns a business line
is to be established and for a message
over suchllin IL charge OF ten cents
will be made to members.
Some figures giving the cost in de-
tail of the construction and equip
nient CT d mile OF line are given by
Mr.. Hollinghead. There are Is holes
to the mile at II cents each, except
the one assaIe seetiessline cross
idg which is five foot higher and costs
81 cents. The poles for a mile cost
$18. 16. the wire 1896, ground wires

The labor OF constructing a mile q
line is $40. The phone costs $12, Sc
that a mile Of line and one phone

was at it why didn't it figure out the
cost for a thousand years: A state
hospital-outside Of Pierre.
Before the state would experiment
with gas-were it the intention to
leave the capital where it is-Pierre
would have to demonstrate that it
vas to be had. Just now there is no.
more than enough to supply the
capital committee and before the cam
paign is over there won't be any left.
This gas business at Pierre needs a
little ventilating. The business con.
Germs in the town use kerosene, ben
zine and a~cetylene gas in preference
to it. Anybody who has ever used
natural gas for lighting purposes
knows that it is--a rank fraud. In
about six years Pierre has drilled five
wells, at a cost of about $4,000 aud it
has no more gas titan when the first
well was completed. Recently, when
the last great gusher" was compile
ted, No, 1.-the we'll put down just pre-
ceeding it, stopped flowing and the
town was out of gas completely until
connection was made with the new
well. If any other than the city
whether the state or not-was to
attempt to put downa we'll he OF they
would be enjoined at the drop of the
hat. as it has been fully demonstrated
that another well would cut the city
off from it's supply. The talk of sup
| plying a state house with gas is
therefore pure rot. Many days now
the gas at Pierre is shut Oft from
supplying those who use it to allow
the receiver to fill up. In winter the
regular order of business is to cut 1T
of from the residence part Of the
town from l to 6 p. m. every day. At
the price the city now sells the gas to
consumers no one could afford to use
it for heating purposes. 1t would
cost four times the price of coal.
In Ohio and Pennsylvania are hun.
dreds of dry holes, any one of which
spouted more gas in a minute than
Pierre ever saw or will see-whol5
districts that produced itin unlimited
quantities that now won't make a goo6
smell. Pirrredont know what gooG
gas looks like. And yet it sends out
a cock and bull story and asks intelli
gent people to believe it. The Pierre

it must take their readers for fools.
