CRYING NEED, AS He SEES IT.
Companion Of lrritated Divines Came

Joaquin Miller is to establish a
colony Of poets in Fruitvale, Cal. Mr..
Miller, discussing this colony recently,
said:
1--WE poets will, of course, argue
and squabble. That will be delight
full. Arguments and squabbles over
Matthew Arnold, Swinburne, Tenny-
son and Keats are pleasant and SEN
sible things, you know. They are
not like political or religious argu-
ments, which in their bitter rancor al
ways make me think of three Maine
divines.
while three Maine divines we're
supping together, two of them be-
gan to argue about the comparative
religious merit of the royal houses
of Stuart and Orange. The argument
became heated. The divines grew ex-
cited and angry.
William III. was a great rascal
roared the first, as he struck the table
with his fist. "A great rascal, and l
spit upon his memory!'
"The second divine, turning very.
red, shouted:
No, it's James II. that was the
rascal. ! spit upon his memory!'
At this point the third divine rang
the bell, and said gently to the waiter:
'Spittoons for two, please"

tain that the army engineers will be

the 14-foot depth which the people of

handing, the engineers expressed the
belief that the present eight-foot
project on the Mississippi between st.

and said that an eight or nine-foot
channel for the upper stretch of the
project is the least that should be
provided to meet the needs Of the

of the deep waterway indicated very

fight for substantial recognition next
winter. They talked as if they meant

II it should happen that the addi-
tional report for the lesser channel
between st. Louis and Chicago is de-
layed until late in the session, action
might easily be taken without 1t, on
the theory that it is conceded that a
14-foot channel for that stretch is
feasible and that there can be no
question as to the feasibility of an
eight or nine-foot depth The esti-
mated cost of a 14-foot depth between
those points is S31 100000.
