some things. A gentleman said the
other day, II cant understand how
the Times Will publish what it knows
isn't true and when it certainly real
ICES that Its lying will be exposed"
The only reason we can assign for it
is that it thinks it has some readers
who will probably never see the state
ments made refuted and in that way
it's party will gain a little advantage.
The Times stated this morning that
the records would show that nine
tenths of the cases trtel in the Marion
county intermediate Court we're APP
pealed to the Circuit Court. Below we
give the ngures from the record for

aLlMPsEs or PAUL DUNBAR
The Negro Poets Rebuke of Here
Worship.


The late Paul Laurence Dunbar, the
negro poet and author, was an excep-
tionally modest man, says the Philadel-
phia Press. His color in no way inter
fered with bringing him the popularity
and the public esteem which the char
ncter Of his work justifies, but in spite
of the honors Mr.. Dunbar was modest
enough not to care to be patronized.
He had ideas of his own In regard to
the position he considered he ought II
assume, rs was shown one day in re.
buke he administered to an overly en-
thusiastic young white woman in Chi
cago.
The woman In question Is musi-
clan and undertook to set some Of the
negro poets verses to music. Mr.. Dun
bar called to bring them to her, but she
was very anxious to see his mother,
who was then living In Chicago, and
she insisted that he take her to his
mothers house. She wanted some
verses which were In Mrs. Dunbar's
possession.
They left the young woman's house
together, but the colored poet refused
to walk beside her, saying he preferred
to walk one block In the rear. When
they reached the street car tho poet
didn't offer to assist her. He watched
her enter the car and then took his
stand on the platform and did not so
much as glance ut the young woman
till his mothers door was reached,
The young woman's desire to brave
conventionality for the sake of poetic
genius under dark skin went for
nothing.
3fr. Dunbar had too much common
sense to permit himself to be put in
false position. The young woman could
not understand why he treated her like
stranger In public, but-well, being
white does not make 1t possible for one
to appreciate fine feeling, and fine feel
ing was one Of the distinctive qualities
OF Paul Laurence Dunbar.

for money. 81 am now quite prepared
to say" she admitted, that we Eng
fish do not know the first principle Of
real play"
She tells of her pleasures of coun-
try clubs, of camp life and mountain
climbing and says that "the abandon,
joyousness, and whole-hearted uncon-
seriousness of having good time need
the American spirit to make them
real" When asked what characteris-
tic phase of American life made the
deepest impression on her, she answer
ed, "The spirit of adventure" She was
surprised at the tours women take in
to the wilds where there are no beaten
paths, the chances they take on
water and elsewhere unescorted by
men.
Some people long to go abroad,
when they have not yet seen any Of the
beautiful natural scenery of their own
country, many envy others who are
supposed to be going to Europe for a
play time. but perhaps it will be some
satisfaction to realize that they have
est Fairgrounds on the face of the
earth; playground that is not bound
as this woman says that of the Eng
lish is, a hard and fast conventional
arrangement that does not bear the
slightest resemblance to the American
manner of indulging in the same
sports.
And while people move faster and
apply themselves in steady grind, 1t
may be observed that more and more
time is taken every year for week
or two of play time. Older men tell of
never taking vacations when they
were young, and now nearly every
body takes them. The tradesman has
had his hours of labor shortened ma
terfally, and everybody is coming to
realize not only the possibilities of
play in this country, but the advan-
tages of it. Every year the camps,
the country clubs and the tours be-
come more popular.
