RECORDED THE TRUTH ALWAYS
W~ordsworth's Poetry Set Against His

Wordsworth, except by virtue Of one

ings of the mind" which came to him
when wandering among the hills or
seated upon some old. gray stone. The
act Of penmanship was always q dis
tress to him; In his elder years he was
troubled with Inflammation Of the
eyes, and he often dictated his letters.
He could chain his mind to record
facts. but to do so implied a state Of
servitude. He cared little for the let
tiers Of great writer's. and expressed
a wish that his own might de de-
stroyed. He had no pleasant malice
eager to escape from the tip of the
pen, such as Horace Walpole had. He
had no bubbling mirth which will not
be r~epressed like that of Lamb. He
could not engrave an exquisite vignette
for a friends delight and his own. like
Cowper. His pen was not an etcher's
needle, o a dagger to stab, nor a
sword to cut. nor a hobby horse or
which to canter. But to set over
against all this Wordsworth could
write the truth, and the truth he In

HAVE FIRM BELIEF IN FAIRIES.
Curious Superstitions That Are Still
Prevalent in ireland.

In Ireland there have been for many,
many ages curious superstitions re-
garding fairies. In the old time these
imagined little elfins were thought to
be half human and half spirit nature,
and had strange powers over mankind.
The good folk of Erin used to propiti-
ate - fairies in many ways, a few Of
them being IS follows:
II a child spilled milk on the floor
the mother would say: That's for the
fairies" thinking that some fairy had
caused the accident. Thus the careless
child went unreprimanded. If one were
throwing Stops out of the window or
door she must cry out to the fairies:
Take care of the water!''. Otherwise
some fairy passing might get drenched,
and retaliate In some unpleasant man
ner. If a horseshoe was nailed over
the door it would prevent the fairies
from entering to do mischief to the in
mates. If a small piece of iron were
sewed into an infants garment the
fairies would never modest it by caus-
ing 1t to suffer collie pains. If a large
vessel filed with pure drinking water
were placed In the kitchen at night the
fairies on entering would not touch
the food there, but content themselves
with drinking the water.

Lacking the Gar for Music.n

He bears q great loss and sorrow
who has no ear for music" Into
n great garden of delights he may
not go. There needs no flaming
sword to bar the way, since for him
there Is no gate called Beautiful
which he should seek to enter. Blunt
ed and stolid. he stumbles through
life for whom its harp-strings vain
ly culver. Yet, on the other hand,
what does he not gain? He loses
the concord of sweet sounds, but he
is spared the discord of harsh noises.
For the surges of b%ewildering har-
mony and the depths of dissonant
disgust. he stands on the levels OF
perpetual peace.-Gail Hamilton.

AeUUr eooNE's BODY
Grandson OF Famous Trapper De-
oiares Latter Bought Coffin Ten
Years Before He DIED

st. Louis, Aug. i6-That the
body of Daniel Boone was re-
moved from the Bryan cemetery
near Martinsville Mo, land rein.
t-rrcd At frankfort, Ky, is de-
clared by torrance N. Boone OF
Webster Grove, Mo-, a great
grandson of the famous trapper,
who discredits a statement made
by the Rev. RE. McQuie of Mont
gomery, Mo-, to the eff, ct that the
body disinterred was not Boone's.
Daniel Boone died at the home
of his son, Col. Nathan Boone,
of hear Martinsville.
My father, John Boone" said
Torrance Boone today, twas Col.
Boone's youngest son. He was
present when Daniel died and l
have often heard him tell stories
about his grandfather.
The coffin in which Daniel
Boone was buried was purchased
by him ten years before his death.
He had been very sick aud my
grandfather believing HE father
about to die went to ST. Charles
and had a box of rough wood
ace in which to bury him.
But Daniel got well and did
not like the coffin so he destroyed
it and went to ST. Charles himself
to get a coffin to his W liking.
He had one made OF black wall
nut and took it back to Martinsville
with him. Ii was put in the attic.
l have often heard my father tell
h,w the children used to play in
1t.
1t was in this box that Daniel
Boone was buried and this is the
one that was found at the time of
the disinterment. My father was
present then and / have heard
him say that the coffin was well
preserved. 1t was opened but
only a few bones were left. The
coffin of Daniel Boone's wife was
we'll preserved toe. Her remains
were removed to Frankfort with
her husbands. Stones marked
both graves"
Rev. R. E. McQuie informs US
that he is preparing an article in
which he will give all the facts
concerning the removal of Daniel
Boone's remains and giving all
the evidence to the contrary that
he has in hand. MIR. McQuie did
not give it out as a positive fact
that Boone's remains were not re-
moved but merely stated the
opinions expressed to him by the
people residing in tn. vicinity of
the Boone farm, and who ought to
know the truth.
