Had a Pleasant Trip.


Editor Oil Review:
Dear Sir:-I will now give you
a description of my trip to Rush
vile. / started from Sistersville
at 9 O'Clock a. m. ! went over
the river on the ferry boat and
started back north through Ohio.
took a straight road back to
Antioch and on through to
Woodsfeld, and from there to
GAINESVILLE. After going through
GAINESVILLE five miles north l hit
the National pike. l only went
a mile on the pike the first day
and on Monday evening it rain
ed and had to stay at that little
town of Henrysburg all day Tues
day. On Wednesday morning it
was still misty, but | started, any
way. After | had gone a mile l
came to the well-know,; crooked
bridge. When the pike was first
built they sold out these bridges
to the lowest bidders. There was
man that drew the map for tins
bridge who was intoxicated when
performing the work, and he
drew it in the form of letter ).
After he drew it so crooked they
told him if he would build the
bridge like he had drawn 1t they
would give him 5000 extra, and
the designer built it in that pc
culiar manner. When l came to
this bridge | got off my bicycle
and took a good look at it. | got
started again, but | could not
make very fast time, for the road
was hilly and rough. | came
through a few small towns. l
passed through Washington, Cam
bridge, Concord, Norwich and
GAINESVILLE, o. The road was billy
to within IS miles of Columbus.
After leaving that town the road
was fine. Columbus was the larg-
est city I came through on my
way here. Springfield, O., is also
nice town. After you leave this
place you see some fine farms !;
there are large fields of corn,
wheat and pastures and herds Of
cattle, hogs and sheep. There are
many fine dwelling houses along
the road. Nearly every farmer
has a wind pump on the farm.
I came on the National pike
through Richmond and Cam
bridge City, Ind. I then left the
pike and went south to Corners
vile, and from there to Rushville.
l got here at 5 o'clock p. m. Fri
day. I feel fine over my trip
on my bicycle, although [ was
tired when l arrived. l feel like
| I could start back now and be,
lieve could return in less time
than it took to come.

THE Bellevue Hospital Case; the
oss-examination of Guiteau, Gar
fields assassin, by John K Porter,
spoken of as one of the great master
pieces of forensic skill, and the cross
examination of DR.. in the Car
lyle w. Harris murder case of New
York. The cross-examination of Russell
Sage by Joseph III. Choate in the case
OF Laidlaw VS.. Sage, is filled with witty
flashes of humor from the brilliant
Choate. This was the we'll known case
where crank, walking into Mr.. Sage's
office with a grip of dynamite. demand
ed twelve thousand dollars to refrain
from smashing the grip to the floor
Mr.. Sage, temporizing. pulled the
piaintiH, Laidlaw, between himself and
the crank The crank dropped the
grip and was himself killed. Laidlaw
received injuries for which he demand
ed as damages from Mr. Sage. $4,000.
The following bits are taken verbatim
from Mr.. Choates cross examination
of Mr.. Sage:
Mr.. Choate: Were your glasses hurt
by that explosion which inflicted forty
seven wounds .on your chest?" (Mr.
Sage having previously stated that he
carried MS glasses in his vest pocket
Mr.. Sage: Il do not remember
Mr.. Choate: You certainly would
remember if you had to buy a new
pair?'
And this, where the irrepressible wit
pokes more fun at the famous
financier:
Mr.. Choate: Bought them? CHis
trousers). You do not buy readv-made
trousers, do you?"
Mr.. Sage; Il do sometimes. 1 get a

Mr.. Choate: Get benefit?"

Following up remark of Mr.. Sage's
referring to his age, I'VE all try to

Choate remarks dryly:

edition Of Francis L. wellman's THE
Art of Cross-Examination."
Unquestionably cross-examination is
one of the most difficult branches of all
the many that a successful advocate
must acquire. 1t is in the cross-ex-
animation that the issue of case is
most frequently brought to a focus.
Some one has said that success in the

it. However that may be, Mr.. Well

rear themselves. 1t is while indulging
himself in this privilege that Mr.. Man
meets his Aunt Ellen, and his ways i'm

tatters to store togs he makes his grad

finds himself in France and an unwill

Ellen and maker of chocolate. The

say it-but in whisDer-that perhaps

POEMS
by Louis Robertson

F the small number of true poets
whom California claims. Louis
~ Alexander Robertson is one. This
is a singer whose verses have
been few but perfect. By three slender
sheaves of poems, all published within
the last few. years. he has made his
name one to, be reckoned with by the
cognoscenti in America and England.
Had he staked his claim to the laurel
by The Dead Calypso alone, had he
even written nothing besides the single
poem "Ataxia," believe that Mr.. Rob
ertson would go down first in the Red
Book of contemporary poets. But his
font of inspiration is not of the inter-
mittent, and new book of verse,
From Crypt and Choir" now comes
to reinforce opinion nodded by the
earlier works.
Could but make explanation Of the
term sufficiently comprehensive,
would readily elect to call Robertson
the. poet Greek. BY so denominating
him I would aim to express in a word
the dominant note of sensuous classic
ism that Dervades his singing. There
is in it a throbbing vitality, a fearless
exaltation Of the body urged through
very alteration OF the mystery of Gre
alton. The spirit that led ancient peo-
pies to find divine significance in the
stories Of Zeus and Europa, of Venus
and Adonis, is the same that this Cali
fornian poet voices in his songs Of pas
sion. A handling less purely classic
would put such verse beyond the pale

which by it's allegory of unimpassioned
and passionate love defines the impulse
that has the power
To prompt the chiseI and the brush and pen.
such a poem is a thing of high es-
thetic worth
To this classic spirit Robertson adds
a rich and colored Imagination as COM
Elementary and completing. Like the
poet who created ''Laodamia" to sing
itself down the flight of years. this one
has the faculty of recreating

And the grandeur that was Rome.

voiced sentiment that evidently rang
clear and true to Gwendolen Overton,
for she took it as the basis of her new
novel and even went so far as to call

The book, and a very good one 1t is,
deals with the greatest problem of the
day-the labor question, and from the
beginning to the end the main topic
is unionism, the rights of the working
man and the ambitions and ability Of
the American born man in general.
The story begins with a sharp con-

Programme for Service Next Sunday
Is Being Arranged.
Arrangements are now practically
completed for the thirty-sixth ami
versary of the founding of the Sun
day-school of Wesley monumental
Church.
The anniversary service will be held
in the Sunday-school room of the
church one week from to-day. The
announcement of the programme will
be made as soon as the superintendent
of the school has completed its ar
engagements.
The church will be prettily decorated,
a committee having already been p
pointed for that purpose. A programme
consisting of music and recitations,
and a short address by the pastor of
the church, will be rendered. The Of
ficers of the school will also make re-
ports of the work done during the
year and the superintendent will relate
the history of the school from its es-
Enlistment to the present time.
The anniversary of the Wesley
school will be the third Methodist Sun
day-school to celebrate recently the
anniversary of its founding. The
schools of Trinity and of Grace Church
have already held their anniversary
services
