THE SLUMP IN POETRY.
Reasons For II as Stated by Edward
Markham and Joaquin Miller.

The Critic for March publishes a 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, 1t seems, do not agree, says the
New York Post. Thus Mr.. Edwin
Markham, despite The Man With the
Hoe" recognizes and deplores the
slump. 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 1t
must be real. 1t must be natural and
not nasty. Poetry Is clean, concrete
truth. But what truth Is there In Par
adise LostT A monstrous and merct-
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. repeat, poetry Is only high
er and finer form OF truth; nature
plain common sense.
Shakespeare Is a little better and a
deal worse. Not content with making
slaughter house and madhouse Of
the stage, he must make It a graveyard
and dig up dead men and make rude
jests over their bones IN his very best
poem. This Is not art; 1t Is not de-
cency."

Cures Catarrhal Deafness.
One Weeks Use of Hyomei Did
More Than Six Months Treatment
by Specialists.

In the treatment of deafness which Is
often result. of catarrh Hyomei acts
almost Immediately upon the inhamed
membrane and the hearing begins
o return at once A few days treat
ment will bring relief, and in three
or four weeks, according to the seyer
ity of the case, a cure will be accom-
plished.
Miss Meeks of psttewan, N. Y. says /:
'Hyomei is truly wonderful. l have
used 1T but short time and see a
great change In my condition. My
hearing is improving rapidly, and
had no idea l would improve so rapid
iy in so short time My breath which
was so offensive to myself and others,
h as lost it's bad odor entirely.
have spent great deal of money
with catarrh specialists and can truly
say that six months of their treatment
is not equal to one month of Hyo-
mel.
Short a. Haynes are selling Hyomei
upon the unusual plan of agreeing to
return the money If the medicine does
not cure.
A complete outfit costs only sl.00
and consists of an inhaler that can
oe carried In the vest pocket, a medi-
cine dropper and bottle of HyOmeI.
The inhaler will last life time and
there Is enough Hyomel for several
weeks treatment Additional bottles of
Hyomei can be procured for so cents.
Compare this small expense with the
fees charged by specialists and then re-
member that if Hyomei does not cure
Short & Haynes will return your
money.

s. s. CONVENTIONTHURSDAYT THE
BEST EVER HELD IN THE COUNTY.

The following is the secretary's re-
port of the county Sunday school con
vention at Irvington Thursday;
The annual convention of the Breck-
enridge County Sunday School AssocIa-
ton was held at the Methodist church
at Irvlngton on May 4. 1t was the
best county convention ever held in
the county In point of attendance,
number of district officers present,
number of ministers present and num-
Der of schools represented. Much
praise is due our county president, J.
B, Herndon, for the way in which
he personally advertised the conven-
ton. After all it is personal work that
counts. Our program was good and
many good things were said that
would profit every person In the
county.
At the morning session devotional
exercises was conducted by Rev.
Geor &c King, of Hsrdinsburg, who
read the 34th Psalm, which should be
in the heart of every Sunday school
teacher. Minutes of last meeting were
read and, as Mr.. Gebauer, our field
worker, had not yet arrived, Rev. I.
q. Kerr gave us a short talk on the
Importance of the Sunday school 1t
seems strange TO think it necessary to
impress this subject upon Christian
people, and 1t would not be thus
con Id they understand that the Sun
day school is the church studying
and teachi ng Gods W ord and that 1t
reaches people who can not be reached
any other way.
The conference, How to Have a
Good Sunday School,, was so full of
good things that should like to give
it all. but only have time aud space
to mention them. Rev. Graves gave us
an excellent address on the Pastor 8
Part and feel sure that If he were
not thoroughly awake to his privileges
and duties before, he is now, and he
has walked up some or all Of the other
pastors who heard him.
1t would be we'll could we print
Mrs. V. q. Babbage's address on the
Parents PART and send 1t to every
home in the county. II was so brimful
of thoughts to make one stop, consider,
pray. Would our Sunday schools be so
small ii all parents would do these
three things2 The persons assigned to
take the other three parts were not
able to do so, but we had some helpful
suggestions as to the superintendent s
part from Mr. jeff Jolly, who never
could make a speech, $50 he says, and
Mr.. Green Beard showed that teach
er must live all week as they teach on
Sunday, If they expect to accomplish
any good results.
Mr.. Gebauer presented the Pupil >
Part and summed up the whole thing
by saying the pastors part is to
pull, the parents to push, the superin-
tendent' s to plan, the teachers to pre-
pare, the pupils to pray, and we will
each do our part when our hearts are
filled with love.
Committees were then appointed and
we adjourned to the church yard and
were there served with u bountlful re-
past prepared by the good people Of
TrvinotOn and vicinitv
1t begun to rain before the conven-
tion was called to order aga in and a
little later we had storm, but the
house was full ana we only felt secure
and shut in together to enjoy the good
things presented to us by the speakers.

Mr.. BEAR GOES TO BELL
Chief Promoter Of independent TeIe-
phone Company Resigns.

S. J. Bear, Of Topeka who has been
the western representative of the Amer
lean Telephone company, and who has
made in the west by the Independent
position with that company, and effec-
sistant general manager OF the Bell tel
ephone system, with Office headquarters
at Kansas city, Mo, at a salary OF So
600 a year.
The past few years has witnessed
great progress for the Independent tele-
phone system throughout the states
west of the Mississippi river, and these
companies have gained a strong foot
hold both for local exchanges in the
principal cities and towns, and for the
long distance service.
The strides made by the Independ-
ents have alarmed the Bell Telephone
company, and strenuous efforts will be
put forth hereafter to regain the ground
lost
One Of the first steps in this course
is the action Of the Bell company in
hiring Mr.. Bear away from the indie
pendent fold at salary more than dOu-
BILE what he had been getting.
MIR. Bear is the man who more than
any one other person is responsible for
the progress of the Independents

Mr.. LANE IS NAMED.
Appointed Tariff Clerk to the Rail-
road Board.

1t was decided by the state board
of railroad commissioners today to
employ F. r. Lane of Fort Scott as
tariff clerk, to assist the board in col
lecting and compiling the comparative
freight rates called for by the Stone
resolution. Mr.. Lane is a freight
tariff man of 20 years experience, and
he will begin work In his new posi-
ton next Monday. The legislature
failed to provide any special apprO-
priation for the pay of a tariff clerk,
and the board win therefore pay the
salary out of the contingent fund.
Another important underta king
which will be delegated to Mr.. Lane
will be the compilation of a table
showing in detail the coal rates
charged by Kansas roads between
various points in the. state. The board
believes that some startling evidence
of rate discrimination will follow.
Under the authority Of the railroad
law passed by the last legislature the
attorney for the board, Carr Taylor,
can without any request from outside
sources, bring complaints before the
board concerning unjust charges. The
coal rate complaint will be the first to
be brought under this new law.
Following the Investigation of the
coal rates, it is expected that the board
will take up the investigation of
portant cases are certain to develop. 1t
has long been charged that the flour
rates. and commodity rates are not
equitable and the board + viii en-
deavor, through its attorney, to rem
edy any, Injustice w a h may exist
f Mr. Lane was 1nETopeka several
weeks ago, and at that time consulted
with the board aboutthe general char
acter of the inv estigatfon of coal rates
which is to be made. He suggested
certain forms and tables to be drawn
up, which when filled out from the
tariff sheets. will show the amounts
charged by the railroads for similar
hauls.
The board has had prepared the
blanks in accordance with Mr.. Lane s
suggestions, and when he arrives in To-
peka he will begin the work Of filing
out the blanks.
BY having an expert rate man in it's
employ, the board viii be in possession
of an expert witness who can be put
on the stand and allowed to give testi-
mony concerning freight charges. None
of the railroad commissioners profess
to be rate experts and up to this
time the board has been working con-
siderably in the dark when it came to a
question involving the reading of the
complicated freight tariffs issued by
| the railroads. The railroads are obliged
! to file copies of all their tariffs. but to
! a person unfamiliar with such tariffs,
/ their Interpretation is a matter of great
| difficulty.
| In order to get the necessary informa-
| ton to comply with the Stone resolu-
/ ton the board has sent out to all of the
| companies operating in the state large
/ blank table to be filled out Most OF
| the companies have consented to have
| this information prepared and fled with
/ the board prior to July 1. After the
| tables come in, it will take some time
| for the board to check over these fig
