ssThe Burial of Sir John Moore"
A writer in the Critic has discovered
why the author of that old-time IA
vorite of the school readers, 1.-The
Burial of Sir John Moore" never sue
ceeded in writing any other poem
which was considered worth printing.
It appears that "The Burial Of Sir
John Moore is nothing but a transla-
tion from the French Of a. poem by
Lally-Tollendal, an officer of the
French army, who wrote the poem
after the death of q fellow soldier.
Here are two stanzas from the FrencA
poem:
Nj le son de tambour. nj la
marche funebre.
Nj le feu des soldats ne marQua
son depart
Mais du brave, la hate, travers les
tenebres '~'s'-'
Mornes nous portanies le ca
davre au rempart!
De minuit c'etait rheure, ct solitaire ct
La lune a peine ofrrait un debile rayon;
La lanterne luisait peniblement dams
rombre. .,
Quand de la baionnette on creusa le
gazon.
The opening stanzas Of "The Burial
OF Sir John Moore are as follows:
Not drum was heard not q funeral note,
AS his corpse to the rampant we hur-
ried;
Not a soldier discharged his farewell
shot
Ger the grave where our hero we
buried.
We buried him darkly at dead of night.
The sods with our bayonets turning:
BY the struggling moonbeams' misty light
And the lantern dimly burning.
This similarity runs through the
entire poem, and leaves no room for
doubt that Rev. Charles Wolfe SIM
ply appropriated to his own use the
work Of the French poet, put a new
title on it, and thus instead Of dying
unknown beyond the boundaries of his
little parish made his name familiar
to all English-speaking people. It was
a master stroke on the part of Rev.
Charles. The Critics Investigator ap-
pears to have been unable to discover
where Lally-Tollendal stole the poem.

A WAITING GAME IN POLITICS.

Politics is playing waiting game. New
York is very hot, of course, and "everybody is
away" But there is some very hard thinking.
The Democrats see their way clearer than the
Republicans though no man seems to know how
many Democratic and semi Democratic II tickets
are to be in the field Mr. Hearst will srun for
governor and support Mr.. Bryan for the presi:
dency-the so-called bargain is pretty well venti-
lated by this time. But then there is Mr.Jerome
And there are others-many Others IS %..~@s

THE MOTH AND THE AUToMoB LIE.

80 Speaking of automobiles reminds me that the
New York state eutomolOgist has just made a
rather sensational announcement-that the de-
Vastating gypsy moth is being brought into the
state by automobiles:
At the first reading this sounds as if the
dainty creatures were being imported in a fash
lonable way like SO many pampered guests. But
the real purpose of the announcement is to re.
mind the farmers of the state that the dreaded
auto has new power to annoy in. that gypsy
moth caterpillers ride unlimited into our domain
by becoming, like SO many human creatures, "at-
tached" to motor cars
i The gypsy moth is set forth as a rayenous
leaf feeder that has been particularly destructive
in eastern Massachusetts. 1t feeds, when pres
ent In large numbers, on almost every tree and
shTuD besides herbaceous plants. It's operations
are particularly fatal to pine hemlocks and other
evergreens since one defoliation of these trees is

real wonders. They played in band. They Jug

thing, one might say but speak. 1t was no exag
geration to speak of them as the most intelligent
animals earth. The seal is notoriously intel
ligent, but it was under Woodward's astonishngly
successful training that these seals made their
hit

Secretary of State Root is now on q mission
that promises to be of great Importance to the
United States and to all the Republicans on the
western hemisphere. 1t is great departure from

(4 Ninety sen ators and 390 representatives. Sen ator Allison of Iowa, who is serving his sixth term. is oldest in point of service.

Place as Administrator.
 The affairs of the estate of the late Eugene l.. Jacques appear to be go- ing along smoothly once again. To- day in the probate court the resigna- tion of Attorney E. F. Cole as ad- ministrator was accepted by Judge Lowe and M. E. Keeley was immedi- ately appointed. He furnished a bond of $2O,000, $10,00O more than Attor- ney Cole was under. Attorney Cole declared the estate insolyent, but 1t is not thought to be so now. The list of claims, amounting to over $1b.- GOO, will be looked into next week and then if it's found necessary con- missioners will be appointed to hear evidence on those that are disputed. The Brass City Coal company some time ago obtained judgment for s350 against MT Jacques, and yester- day the company assigned the claim to Attorney Kelley.
