Whitman's Poetry.


FROM HUMANS
In the meantime Walt Whitman's poetry
in spite of the long, jogging. numbering
places In it. comes nearer to reaching out
to what the modern age Is trying to be-
than any other that we have. Whitman
may or may not be considered a poet, but
he has outswept the bounds of beauty for
human life. He has seen the whole uni
verse in every clod of IT, He has God s
definition Of beauty: naturally he does not
express IL as well as God does. His SYM
bolism is crowded with hapless places, and
Gods symbolism never misses the point :;
but as the ground-plan for a great modern
poet-an original or working poet, In a
new-built. building. working world
Walt Whitman Is the first and only figure
large enough that that world has had. He
had a larger repertoire of joys-jOys with
everyday things that any man might have
than any other poet. His autobiography
would take in a larger section Of the uni
verse.

Ferdinand IL q victim Of consumption,
which must in o very few years at most
carry him of. This will bring to the
throne Prince Carol. but as this lad Is un-
der ten years Of age. his mother will have
to act for him as queen regent.
This period Is what Roumania fears.
Crown Princess Marie makes no secret of
her intense partisanship for the English
Nor is this entirely surprising, since by
birth she is allied with the royal family
of Great Britain. Her father was the late
Duke of Sake Coburg and Duke Of Edin-
burgh, the brother Of King Edward. More
over, the Gear Of Russia and the Kaiser Of
Germany are her first cousins.
When Ferdinand fell in love with Marie
and brought her to Bucharest, the capital
of his people. the nation rejoiced. Marie
was and is the most beautiful member of
the royal families Of Europe. Her charm
ing manner added to her popularity.
But soon it developed that the new prin-
cess was not only not Roumanian in her
leanings, but was entirely out Of SYM
pathy with all that was most dear to the
people.
Her lavish expenditures quickly brought
her into conflict with the ministry and
with the legislative bodies.
These are very powerful, for the SOW
by the will Of the people. The right to
vote is extended to every taxpayer, and
the people do not willingly permit the
money they make by stock raising, the
exporting Of grain, flour, petroleum and
rock salt to be squandered by those in
authority.
The electorate scans the annual budget
very closely, and when evidence Of more
than normal expenditure Is disclosed.
there is certain to be some inquiry either
in the senate or the chamber OF deputies.
1t Is not hard to see how the princess,
trained in the lavish generosity Of the
wealthy English parliament to its ruling
family, should quickly come into conflict
with the more economical Roumanian leg
islature. =.
She sharply resented the limiting Of her
allowance, and did not hesitate to retort
frankly to those who were responsible.
All the diplomacy of her grandmother
by marriage, Queen Elizabeth, was re-
quired to smooth over the rupture Ferdi-
took her side. and did not by the action
add much to the affection Of those whom
he must in a short time rule.
Ferdinand and Marie have been bounti-
fully blessed with children. They have
four now-Carol. the heir apparent: Eliza
beth. Marie and Nicholas. They form
admittedly the handsomest quartet Of chill
dren In Europe's royalty.
Moreover, the life Of the family is gen.

Inherited Furniture.
From Indoo>s and Out.


We all know the woman who would not
own a stick of old furniture unless it came
from her ancestors. and think most of us
have been wicked enough to wonder il her
opportunities in shis direction have been
very extensive. The woman has yet to be
discovered who would not own diamonds
unless they came to her by Inheritance,
and it is quite as unreasonable to deny our
selves the possession of beautiful furniture
simply because some one in the past was
not wise OF thoughtful enough to provide
for OUT need. 1t is possible that some
kinds of ancestor worship do cake as
violent form as this. but 1t Is to be hoped
they are not very prevalent. Doubtless in
cases where ancestors are we'll and favor
ably known to one, furniture inherited from
them is enhanced in value il the furniture
has of itself any rightful claims to appre
citation, but no amount of noble ancestry
should even reconcile us to some kinds of
furniture. Few, too. are fortunate enough
to have possessed ancestors with the proper
amount Of foresight, and in many cases.
where beautiful old furniture was pos
sessed in abundance, it was care.essly pass
ed along to the washeryom;1l or exchanged
for modern Ifeces beSre the owners be-
came aware, that it mad any value.

timely happy. for Marie ana Ferdinand are
devoted to each other and to their children.
Were Ferdinand to live 1t Is likely that his
influence with Marie would suffice to make
her tone her prejudices against his people.
and to act to them with the proper diplo-
macy to make a success Of her reign.
But the fear is that when he Is gone there
will pc no check on the will of the beautiful.
headstrong princess. and that. given a free
reign, she will consult her own whims to
point that must eventually involve her In
serious dispute with the ministry and
legislature.
These are both intensely patriotic. and no
obligation to the ruler will ever suffice to
make the claims of the nation secondary.
Should such a quarrel arise Marie would
not let the interests of her son suffer, and
would go the limit of an appeal to her
uncle King Edward of England. 1t is some
such action this that the Roumanians
most fear.
The forty-eight years that have elapsed
since, under John Alexander, Roumania be-
gan national life have been stormy ones
and the nation has only survived because of
the fixed policy of the rulers to avoid giving
any nation of Europe any undue potency at
Bucharest.
John Alexander understood this need; so
has Prince Charles 1 of Hohenzollern, who
was elected prince by the people April IA,
1863.
Through all the trials of the Turko- Rus
sian war of 1873 Roumanian diplomats
skiilfully obtained every advantage for their
nation, and the Berlin congress Of 1873 pro-
claimed the full independence of Roumania
In 1881 the establishment of a kingdom,
with the succession fixed in the male line,
opened up the opportunity for substantial
progress.
: Turkeys claim OF nominal control over
koumania has never been pressed, nor have
the crafty Roumanians resented 1t, since in
this assumed power was found a means of
preserving the balance. and of converting
Turkey into sort of watchdog to see that
none Of Europe's rulers attempted to as
sumo control at Bucharest
Such policy demanded statecraft of a
high order, and fortunately the present in
cumbent of the throne has known how to
supply 1t. Roumanfa has prospered under
his guidance, not only commercially, but
educationally and In the growth of an in
creasing national sentiment
1t Is the fear that Marie may not under.
stand the danger of offending this national
spirit that fills with foreboding the prospect
of a new era that will be inaugurated when
the bells sound the passing of King Charles.
