Color Troubles OF the Color S11nd
Poet, Whittier.


Poet, Whittier.
II Is we'll known that the poet Whit.
ter was color blind and unable to dis
tinguish red from green. he once
bought for himself a necktie which be
supposed to be Of a modest and suit
able olive tint and Wore 1t once. BE
never wore it again, for his friends
soon made him aware that it offended
against the traditional quietness Of
costume erjoined alike by the habits
Of the Friends and by his own taste.
The tie was Of flaming scarlet.
On another occasion, when he found
8 little girl in distress on account OF
e new gown, made over from her elder
sisters, which was not becoming to
her coloring and complexion, he tried
to console her.
II wouldn't mind what rude boy
says about 1t, Mary" he said kindly.
'1Thee looks very well indeed In 1t,
Like an Dread, Mary, dressed all N
green"
Unfortunately, Mary was not dressed
In green. She was red haired, and her
dress was red That was the trouble.
Once, on a day IN naid-March, when
cat walking with Friend and deeply
engaged In conversa ton, Mr.. Whittier
approached too near for safety to a
place where blasting was going oa.
The danger signal was shown, but
neither Friend noticed It until r work
man, violently waving his arms and
shouting, leaped before them and
warned them back.
u didn't see the nag at all" said
MI. Whittier's companion.
II saw it." rejoined tho poet, with
twinkle in his eye, "but I thought It
was in honor Of St Patrick Thee
knows my defect. I can't tell Erin

family, q young society wonsn OF this

jealous Of the other ana Miss Bay
never gave either the slightest In
preston as to which she preferred.
She corrssponded regularly, went
riding and pla7e5 golf with both.
Then the two suitors wrote to the
girl On the same day-not the ordinary
kind OF love. letter, but an appea

And Miss May answered. To the
Kentrckian the reply vas:

Then in her feverish haste, with 8

was young and soft. hearted, and now
