Next year when the plum is
taken away from the Times, we
shall hear a different bawl; but
until that time let the Bro. revel
in the sweet supposition that it
was merit which brought him the
county work. Nevertheless, lest
we forget, we congratulate him
upon his baldheaded luck in sec
uring the savory morsel, and like
wise congratulate him uron his
cherished bombastic CALCULATIONS.
AS for the readers of the Times
we extend commiserations.
Verify, the "SmaIley Tines is
not altogether without merit and
by right ought to have the county
work this year.

Los Angeles herald., 1908-12-20

Mine own white valley in the snow,
My river and the starry sky.
Here round me lies the flower famed land
That knows no winters sore travail.
'Tis welcome warmed of heart and hand
And kindly with good friends and hale;
And yet, and yet OH heart of me.
When on the year the Yule days come,
IT'S then far white land 1 see
Mine own land and the hills of home.
Tonight with dreams of long ago.
I'll walk the well-loved paths of yore,
Across the moonlit fields of snow,
Drawing the winds from door to door;
And 1 shall the glad surprise
In faces fond that used to be.
AS from their Christmas fires they rise
With wide-hung arms to welcome me
So shall I sit the hours that pass,
The places loved and lost among,
Still as of old, with pipe and glass,
AS once when life and love were young;
And 1 shall hear the north wind blow,
That calls me now, with haunting cry,
To mine own valley in the snow,
My river and the starry sky.
THE RAIN
woke in the night and thought 1 heard
you calling,
But twas another music, twas the soft rain
falling;
1t tripped with lifting whispers from the
warm skies of spring
And it sang me a song like the songs you
used TO sing.
Twas the mid-hour of night and the en-
bers in the fire
Were cold as your folded hands and dead as
your desire,
But my heart warm with memory, IT
heard the beating rain,
And dreamed it was your Turing lips that
called to me again
Night and the rain and the dead. ashen
ember,
These are for me-for me that must re-
member;
The embers and the rain and the night in
shadows set,
These are for you-for you who can forget
Never comes the rain and the wet winds
signing,
But I must awake, though deep in slumber
lying,
Thinking tits your voice again, soft and
sweet and clear
Signing to my soul the songs that l no
more shall hear

LOS ANGELES CLAIMS POET

q TRICKLAND w. GILLIAN, ia
nous as verse writer and news
~ paper paragrapher, is the author
of book called Including Finnigan."
Mr.. Gillian was for a long time con-
nected with the Los Angeles Herald,
and has many friends in this city. The
"Finnigin" verses marked the begin
ming of his career as a newspaper poet,
but in these lines and in subsequent
poems he has risen far above the level
of the average Josh Wink versifier.
"She Felt of Her Belt in the Back"
which has been translated into half
dozen different languages, was first
printed in the Los Angeles Herald.
There is genuine humor philosophy,
sentiment and sadness in Mr.. Gillilan's
verses While more than score 0f
the poems are purely humorous, there
is a strain of pathos running through
them. understandable to those who
have known the writer. The two selec-
lions mentioned are too we'll known to
quote. The following is characteristic:
BABY THE SIZE OF NINE
When l somebody S BABY just ABOUT the
size of mine
AS ! prowl about the country, with my little
special line
There's the queerest sort of feeling at the
bottom of my throat,
And the train bells and the whistles take
a sad and sobbing note.
Both my arms begin to hunger for the load
that's always light,
And I'd give my soul to hear her calilns
Daddy" in the night
But I've got to gulp my grieving, nor be-
tray the slightest sign
When ! see somebody's baby, just about the
size of mine.
When 1 see a sturdy youngster. just about
the size of mine,
| am less the rugged oak tree, more the
clinging, tendried vine;
Then I know the strength attributed to man
is half myth,
And the storm-defying bole becomes the
bruised and Bonded wthe.
Then l know the l cherish are the
guardians of me-
While my world would scarcely recognize the
picture it would see
Should 1t happen to discover in my eyes the
trimming Brine
When see little baby just about the size
of mine.
"Egotism's Antidote" is in a lighter
vein:
Los Angeles herald., 1908-12-20
STRICKLAND w. GILLIAN

When we kind o. git to thinking
Yere the whole endurin' thing
When We think the world must have we,
Sames a kite must have a string,
Then it's time to fix for dodgin'
An begin to look around
Cause they's somepin' goin' to hit yet
Thatll surely take we down.
When We git to Twin regular,
Way up in the upper air,
And when folks without a field glass
Couldn't find we anywhere,
Then it's time to git yer parachute
An sect it's workin' right,
While we glance towrd terry firmy
Pickin' out a spot to light.
Cause most folks is lots like water
Finds their level off and on,
Though they 'vaporate occasional,
An we wonder where they've gone;
But they're bound to light back somehow,
Fog rain GOBLIN dew
An when l say folks 1 reckon
That's incudin me and you.
The following will strike a sympa-
thetic chord in followers of Mr.. Gill
lilan's trade:
MY PIPE is OUT
My pipe is out; the world-my 'baccy pouch
Is habby- thanked and empty to the touch;
| shake it till its lank sides sag and SLOUGH,
Yet all it yields me doesn't count for much.
At length its dustings settled in the bowl.

A germ of genius blaze with my soul
May fire the fruits of groupings, patient,
blind.
No match is there the lost had struck
To boil the pot of hunger in my home
To kndle torches of dssembled pluck
And guide some brothers footsteps as they
roam.
My pipe is OUT 1 puff at it in vain
No taste warmth-no winking glow l see!
Whence then, the longed-for solace for my

-
"a Song of Hope" breathes the spirit
of the book, and of the man:

But she's KEEP a-gittin' better
AS I've come.
Twill be better still next year,
Sure as I'm a-settin here
Looking back I'll some mountains

Gill" as he is affectionately called
by those who know him, has indeed
"clumb some mountains" and he
should climb a great many more. His
verse has lasting qualities.

w book written by one of your
home town poets, and printed by
a publishing company, it usually is
good plan to give it to the public
library, or the Society for the Propaga-
ton of the Gospel The Grafton Pub
fishing company has just issued book
of poems which is a pleasant eXcep-
ton to the rule. 1t is wander Songs,
by John S. McGroarty. With just
little touch of devilishness many of the
songs would do credit to Bliss Carmah
or the beloved Richard Honey
1t requires the reading of only few
verses to convince you that Mr.. Nc
Groarty possesses genuine poetic tai
ent, and his rhymes have decidedly
distinctive Tilt to them, with more than
a little of the divine fire. They are
songs of western places-Western skies
and sunshine, and there is an abund-
ance of the cloying. sensuous beauty
of the Golden state. Mr.. McGroarty
sings the "Song of the Open Road"
and sings it joyously, but he is entirely
a different sort of a vagabond than the
fantastic william and the FOSTERING
singers of his kind who have followed
him. There is a pensive, but never
passionate, regret for passing glories
and faded beauties; the singer has
both faith and philosophy so there
can be none of the mad revelry of the
old Vagabondia.
There is sweetness and light" in it
