action in favor of the poets freedom
would be taken when the board meets
tomorrow. He serving a ten-year
sentence for stealing $24.
Following is an abstract OF one of
his poems
But the lamps alight, and the clear, proud song
Shall reach to the throne OF God ere long.
The night must pass, and a strange new dawn
Burst upon field, and copse and lawn;
For out of the warp of shame and tears
l weave the joy OF the coming years.

him 70 reflect that when he acts up
on the theory that the people about
him are ali honest he has to lay sub

leaves his door unlocked, and has q
visitor, light OF finger. He rests his
baggage On the station floor, while he
takes q short walk, returning to find
nothing but the floor there. He ex-
poses money before strangers. and a
little later has none 10 expose. Such
experiences are so common that la
