POETRY DOCTOR.
Cold Blooded Manner In Which Effu.
 sions Are Edited.

If while foraging in the underbrush of current verse a man actually thinks he has discovered some genuine poetry we cannot see why he should not proclaim the fact, whatever office he may be holding at the time. says the "Bookman. ' Hence we missed the fine point of the sarcasm occasioned by President Roose- velt's praise of MT. Robinsons "Chil- dren of the Night"
 There are of course, many poets of the Robinson degree, but the President is not to blame if he has encountered only one of them. It is well known that he has had number of other matters on his hands of fully equal importance. Prob ably he is not even aware of the present poetical situation. Our poetry-shelf, which Is about four feet long, Is alter nately filled and emptied three times a year. Not all the volumes of verse are sent to the newspapers and magazines, but on the average 1t is safe to say that any literary editor summarizes or as- signs for review, or in some way disposes of twelve feet of minor poetry annually. Three-fourths of this is tinged with the "certain and mysticism detected by the President in MT. Robinson's verse, and one-half of 1t Is almost, If not quite, Rob insonion in merit. The more anxious one is lest a genius may escape him, the more he will read. and from much read ing he will. in spite of himself grow cal ious. Hence, cold and routine methods of dealing with the problem have devel- oped in editorial offices,
 There are what may be called the spring and fall house-cleanings, when bales containing the verse of several months are shipped to men who are thought to possess richly emotional tenn peraments. The consignee then reads one after the other. seventy or eighty volumes of hearts ease and hearts de- sire, despair, loves. cradle songs, moon beams on the water and negro lullabies | Numb and bewildered, he picks out six or twelve, according to the length of the article. and for each one mentioned passes over score with a formal ex
 pression of regret that there is no room | for them.
 Hence, those strangely chosen group' of poets you find dispatched at intervals

 Mir Fairbanks as senator was pacifica- tion personified in deanng with his porti- caI collea rues In Indiana. Frequently mis- understandings arose and conflicting oe- mands of congressman on the senator time or indorsement for appncatiohS worked embarrassing situations.
 He Is slow to anger and an adept ae smoothing ruffled plumase. He was UT successful in his effort with Henry U. Johnson. lately republican memper oi Congress from Richmond, Ind.
 Visitors to the marble room of the unl- ted States Senate were startled one day during the extra session of ls97 to sec Johnson, who was of cratic tempera- ment, wildly tossing his arms and up- braiding Senator Fairbanks while the latter was trying to conciliate him
 You have deceived me-" shouted Jonn- son, "and I am done with you.'
 But. Henry" expostulated the senator, "come up to my house for dinner this evening, and we'll talk 1t over"
 'I won't" yelled Johnson. You needn [ think you can reach my heart through my stomach" And Johnson strode off, head erect, through the corridor.
 Senator Fair banks stood looking after
  Der, who was slim as a raiu, and then turning to the spectators remarked dryly: "No, when I consider the size of my girth compared with Johnson's, I would regard that as more difficult than ths camers expedition into the needles eye Was Not Enthusiastic. When Mayor Charles A. Bookwalter of Indianapolis was candidate for re-elec- ton a couple of years ago there was con- siderable disaffection among the repub- lican voters, and Senator Fairbanks was down as lukewarm. By dint of much per suasion the senator was finally prevailed upon to make 2 speech closing the cam paign. The republican city committee supplied him literally wits statistics tending to show the beneficial work of the city ad' ministration. Imagine their chagrin when the senator discoursed entirely upon the benefits of republican national policiea and commended the administration course in the Philippines. Bookwalter wal defeated.

which MT. Fairbanks was nominated .o the vicep residency, he met bookwal'ei and ino,1ired feelingly after his health.
 .I .unpose you'll make speeches in the campaign. Charley?" he inquired of the ex-mayor. n,
 "Yes, senator" replied Bookwalter, T am so enthusiastic over your nomination for vice president that intend to rent Tomlinson mall and make a running speech in favor of building the Fall Cree6 botlleyard"

by reviewers in the Atlantic Monthly and elsewhere. Novelists may receive individual attention. Poets are always handled in bulk and reviewed in dozens and half-dozens. A reviewer would as soon think of going of with ono minor poet as of buying one egg.

A Relief.

From the Chicago Journal
 'The discord was something fierce." said Borem. in speaking of an amateur concert. Why the music was so loud that I actually could not hear myself talk"
 How delightful!'' exclaimed Miss Cut ting.

 While MT. Fairbanks never draws on stories or incidents in his speeches. he has wealth of dry humor stored away, upon which he makes liberal drafts occa- sionally in private conversation.
 About three years ago there was a necessary reduction in the force of the census bureau. Senator Fairbanks had . certain number of appointments credited to his quota In the reduction it became necessary to drop three of them.
 One of tho deposed employees called at the senator's residence and began to de- claim violently against the treatment which had been accorded him,
 What explanation have you to offer. ' he demanded angrily. flor my present pre- dicament?"
 The senator looked up grimly from a desk piled high with official correspon- dence and then deliberately perpetrated the following:
 'well, my young friend, I believe YOU were raised on a farm. If so, you will remember one of the pastimes of chiI- dren on the farm.
 You know 1t Is customary for them to climb up and seat themselves one behind khe other, on the old horses back until all the available space is occupied. We'll, I remember on one occasion when several of the eh'dre-, had climbed on the back of our old faraily horse that the last fel- low found there was not room enough for him and he kept slipping off to the ground.
