Gossip Of the Literary

oooooooooooooooocoo

There has been a flood Of dialect
tales and poems, ranging all the way
from good to the worst possible. In
truth the thing has been overdone
Yet now and then appears a dialect
book so true to nature and so charm
ing that it makes up for the many
dreary performances In the de-fOrmed
spelling line. One of these good ones
Is 7. A. Days "Carmina." just issued
by the John Lane company of New
York. Days songs in Italian dialect
have gone through the press of the
entire country. He does not make the
mistake Of being always humorous.
though he Is humOrist of parts. writ
ing skits on the Philadelphia papers
Many of his Italian songs owe their
popularity to tender pathos.
The authors official name Is Thomas
Augustine DAILY, but he is known as
Tom all over Philadelphia and among
the writer's Of humorous columns from
New York to Los Angeles. Most Of
these young men who brighten the edi-
torial pages Of our leading dallies are
members of an organization known as

at one time president. and when the
joke writer's had their annual conven-

well and did such a lot of entertain

second to their pastor emeritus. Robert
J. Burdette
Mr.. DAILY Is editor of the Catholic

Of his best work has appeared. In
reality he Is an American Irishman-
that describes 1t better than the hack

his success In Italian dialect all the
more surprising. He has already is
sued one book under the title Of Can

newspapers. has put him far and away
in the lead Of all Italian dialect writ
ers in the country. His fame is by no
means confined to the one field, how
ever, as his verse in straight English
and in his inherited Irish dialect Is
also widely copied.
The high esteem in which Mr. Days
glimpses into the life of our American
Italians Is held Is shown by the fol-
lowing appreciation from the pen Of
Julian Hawthorne:

AND WIFE
SENTENCED
FORMER GIVEN LIFE SENTENCE
AND LATTER Is YEARS-BOTH
COLLAPSED ON HEARING SEN.
TENCE PRONOUNCED.
(By Associated Press.)

Mercer, Pa. May 10.-James H.
Boyle was sentenced to life imprison-
ment and Mrs. Boyle received a SEN
tence of Is years for her part in kid
mapping BILLY" Whitla, and was fined
$4,000 and costs of prosecution.
Boyle did not create scene in court
and did not utter a word prior to
the sentence. Mrs. Boyle said she
was convicted on flimsy evidence but
did not implicate the third person, as
she said she would do. The plea Of
counsel for defense for light SEN
fences was ignored by the court and
both Boyle and his wife collapsed
completely upon hearing the SEN
fences pronounced. Boyle had to be
carried into an ambulance and when
left unsupported could not maintain
his balance and had to be carried
into his cell. Mrs. Boyle was even
in a worse condition, and had to be
carried down three flights of steps
from the court room to the ambu-
lance and from the ambulance to the
cell, where she wept bitterly.
Mrs. Boyle has stated that she will
commit suicide. According to James
Boyle the name of the third party
will be made public soon after the
couple reach the penitentiary. The
person will be named in the appeal,
which will be taken.
The threats of a double suicide
made by Mrs. Boyle are not idle
words, as was shown today when it
became known that a razor was Sc
creted in the clothing Of Boyle and
it was removed from his clothing.
Mrs. Boyle last night swallowed
enough morphine to kill tw opeople.
She was rendered partially uncon-
scious but was revived. 1t is believed
this was responsible for her collapse
in court today. 1t is thought she
obtained the poison from a woman
prisoner occupying the next cell,
who is morphine fiend.

Primitive Aerial NAVIGATION.

The cyclone season Is at hand,
And very soon throughout the land
The natives will be treated to
AS fine a breeze as ever blew
And they will see to their surprise,
Their household treasures In the skies
A cloud no larger than a hand
VIII very suddenly expand
Until 1t looks as large Wen say
As some account you cannot pay.
And its playful onward fight
Will pick up everything I'm sight.
The barn before this master grip
Will from its firm foundations slip
And like q modern airship will
Go sailing over yonder hill
And. evoluting wide and neat,
VIII settle in a field OF wheat.
To follow in its train Of course
: Will be n buggy and horse,
Some cattle and a drove Of swine
And other critters in that line
To come down scattered far and wide
As with the cyclones within they ride
The cyclone is a playful sprite.
For things inanimate take flight
When 1t displays the busy sign
And sends its forces down the line.
You never know what it will do,
So do not let it play with you.

He moved into a roomy place
With roses round the door
And many blooms of brilliant hue
Man never saw before.
Upon its fair and broad expanse
A kitchen garden grows.
Its gently rolling upward slope
An orchard will disclose
The homely barnyard chandeliers
Within it's gates are found
And scattered through its leafy nook>
The song birds sweet abound
There is a mortgage on the roof
Her spouse will voucf for that
Nor does he bless the day on whic.
