PROBABLY TRUE.

An English poet has aroused
much adverse criticism by a poem
entitled. 1.-THE Woman with the Ser
pent,s Tongue" The feeling seems
to be that he had some particular
woman In mind and that his effu-
sion was ungallant, to say the least,
Granted that is the case, it is not
difficult to imagine a series Of cir
cumstances which would drive a
poet to caustic verse even at the
expense of a woman. Under similar
circumstances others might be
driven to drink and to take it out
in a monologue which would not be
fit for publication. But long after
Mr.. Watson and his victim-if there
Is one-are dead the poem win live,
a magnificent arraignment of gos-
sips in general.

THE
OF THE NINE

festival day, when the shaft of the mine was sealed to let the de-
youring fire in the bowels of the earth burn itself out. Probably
only the dead remain. 1t is inconceivable that there should now
be living men in the mine. AT Messina people were rescued from
the ruins after being entombed nearly two weeks; but here there
were fire and gas and black damp to make an unequal battle with.
The rescue of a score of living men sheltered in a pocket of the mine
gave new hope to many a miners wife that her life partner, too, had
escaped death and was awaiting deiverers. That hope was we'll
nigh destroyed when the bodies of $50 men were found heaped to-
gether in one of the recesses of the mine. The discovery ended
the rescue work. The dead in the mine are left to the flames, if
they reach the bodies, and the mine is sealed. The greatest tragedy
in the history of mining in the United States closes and the curtain
rung down on the saddest scenes the mind can conceive of.

THE YEARS CROPS
AND THANKSGIVING

order to let the American people know how bounteous Providence
has been to them during the past year? This report comes out in
December, "a day after the fair" People have eaten and digested
and forgotten their Thanksgiving turkey in December, and the
annual report, if read, is to them then a mere matter of statistics.
Now, it has already been given out that the year 1909 has been a
highly prosperous one for the farmer. The total value of the crops
has been estimated at between seven and eight billions, and there
is reason to believe that the higher figure is too conservative. But
people like exact figures, not estimates, and a synopsis of the re-
port of the secretary of agriculture could have been read with
much satisfaction at every Thanksgiving dinner yesterday and
greatly enhanced the sentiment of the day.
