THE SLUMP IN POETRY.
1easons For II as Stated by Edward
Markham and JOAQUIN Miller.


The Critic for March publishes Sec
ond installment Of letters from poets
who have been approached with the
question as to what has caused "the
slump in poetry" Rhymers, like doc
tors, it seems, do not agree, says the
New York Post. Thus Mr.. Edwin
Markham, despite 1.-THE Man With the
Hoe," recognizes and deplores the
slump. 1.-The reason why poetry now
adays," he says, ''is attracting so little
attention lies both in our people and in
our poets; since the days Of Ptah-
Hotep, the old Egyptian, the people
have gravitated toward business more
than toward beauty" which may be
very true. But why Ptah-Hotep? Now
hear the lusty singer Of the Sierras, Mr.
Joaquin Miller, in rebuttal. And prob
ably half the people who smile at his
words secretly believe them true:
"But back of all this am glad to be-
lieve that America has OutgrOwn what
the learned laureate of good King Ed
ward calls the higher forms Of poetry
as she has outgrown kings and courts.
The real American loves poetry, but it
must be real. 1t must be natural and
not nasty. Poetry is clean, concrete
truth. But what truth is there in Par
adise Lost? A monstrous and merci-
less God, an idiotic and mounting devil
in an impossible heaven and hell!
There is more real poetry in a little
book by Thomas Bailey Aldrich than in
Milton, Dante and Homer all put to-
gether. l repeat, poetry is only high
er and finer form of truth; nature
plain common sense.
shakespeare is little better and a
deal worse. Not content with making
a slaughter house and madhouse Of
the stage, he must make 1t graveyard
and dig up dead men and make rude
jests over their bones in his very best
poem. This is not art; it is not de
cency."

THE WISE TREASURER.
How He Showed the King that Anyon
Could Cheat Him.

How He Showed the X Ing that Anyone
COuld Cheat Him.
There was once king who was
very vain of his sagacity. Nobody
can cheat me-" he used to say.
His old and wise treasurer knew
better
"Your officers are cheating you
he would reply.
Nonsense" said the king. II am
too clever for them
He said this so often that at last
the old treasurer determined to teach
thus to the king:
"Your majesty, I will prove to you
that no one is too clever to be cheat
ed. Give me even the humblest Office
and l will show you that the man who
holds 1t can cheat both you and your
people,"
The king thought for a moment
Then he laughed and said: II will
make you the shepherd Of my flock
Of sheep. I would like to see you
CHEAT lOI L huOW kudt There uTe
just 400 Of them, and l shall expect
you to give me an account Of the
flock to the last one"
The old treasurer smiled and with
drew. The next day he wrote to ev-
cry city, village and estate in the king
dom saying that he had heard there
was good pasturage there and that
he proposed to bring the kings sheep
to browse there, which was the royal
right.
Immediately the people Of each
place wrote to the new shepherd and
promised him money if he would take
the kings sheep somewhere else SC
that they could keep the pastures fol
themselves.
The wise old treasurer took all the
letters to the king and said: You car
see now that even your shepherd car
cheat you and your people If he will
SO the king was never so vain OF
his sagacity any more.-Boston Globe

you must have them. Yes. l will put

CLARA, you don't mean to let that
baby have pockets? He will have them
full Of rubbish and in dreadful con-

But mamma put the pockets in, and
Ted was happy. He went round with
his hands in those little snuggeries,
feeling very proud and grown-up, and
trying to whistle; and by and by he
began to put things into them.

little black ball out Of his right pocket.

Teddy produced as they were wanted.

JACK OF ALL TRADES.
That 10 What Most Women Who Work
for Living Really Are.


Why the woman who works for
living is usually more nervous and in
less exuberaW health generally than
the man who works, has been a mat
ter for much discussion in clubs and
newspapers, and without any satisfac-
tory verdict having been reached, but
there are those who do not find it hard
to understand the phenomenon.
The man who works usually does
one sort of work. He is a physician.
a lawyer or a clerk, and when he has
closed his office door for the day, II he
is a sensible man, he puts in the re-
mainder Of the time enjoying himself
in whatever way best suits him.
And the woman who wOrks-well.
she Is usually Jack Of a dozen trades
and master Of none, according to the
Baltimore News.
When she comes home from her
office it occurs to her that there are
half dozen pairs Of stockings to be
darned-and she sets to work forth
with on this nerve tearing work. When
the stockings are finished she is just
as likely as not to sew on the lace that
the laundress has ripped off skirt,
and she goes to bed with her head ach-
ing and absolutely unrefreshed.
In the morning she remembers that
there are dozen little lace collars
to be Numbered. for they were much
too fragile to go in the general laundry,
| q nd a ohA civ To
the doing up" Of these troublesome
little things, adding couple Of white
belts, three pairs Of white gloves and
veil to the pile.
| When she has finished with these
her back Is aching, and she is glad to
lie down and read by the light Of a
distant and dim gas jet the afternoon
newspaper, thereby bringing on the ills
that come from eye strain.
She discovers the next afternoon that
her hair needs washing, and she spends
a good two hours at this hard work.
the 70 cents or 81 that a hairdresser
would charge her for this service, and
which the latter can do much better
than she can do 1t herself, and SO she
expends strength that Is worth much
more to her than the money, In half
doing this work.
She manlcures her own nails when
she should be taking nap, and makes
shirt waists when she should be exer-
cising in the open. She makes cara
mels by way Of fun. and fuses over
them until she herself admits that she
Is half dead"
She finds things for herself to do
that really couldn't be done, and by the
end Of the summer she is a limp and
nerveracked rag.
But have to keep NICE" she walls.
land l cannot afford to hire some one
to do my mending and to groom my
hair and nails!'
1t is. indeed, problem how the
business women shall manage; but,
nevertheless. these are some OF the
reasons why she who works for a
living Is usually a thin and anaemic
|person, who looks haggard and old
before her time.
