Field clapped his hand to his brow, as
sumed wild expression and, speaking
sharply to his roommate as If he were
an amanuensis, said, "Take this poem
down"
The amanuensis cleared the deck of
his desk for action, and Mr.. Field be-
gan to dictate poem. 1t was a beau
tiful little lyric upon which he had de-
voted weeks of painstaking work, but
he reeled 1t off as if it had just pop
ped into his mind and, to increase the
wonderment in the mind of his guest,
turned two or three times in the
course Of the dictation and chatted
with him about their boyhood frolics
The eyes of the MiSsourian stood out
in amaZement as at the close of the
dictation the amanuensis read the
charmingly finished poem, and Mr.
Field, in a tone of command, said:
Send it up to the printer. Have it
put in tomorrow mornings paper"
The next morning the Missourian,
proud of his acquaintance with so Won
derful man as Mr.. Field had shown
himself to be, read the poem and set
out to tell everybody who would listen
how an inspired genius writes poetry.
