The Real Dismal Swamp
Walter Prichard Eaton, in Harper Magazine for December.

Walter Prichard Eaton, in Harper s
 Magazine for December.
 If Tom Moore had not visited the United States in 1894, and. at Norfolk, Wa, written his famous poem about the Dismal Swamp, that charming, easily accessible, and other-worldly relic Of the primeval wilderness-a bit of widest na- delphia or Washington-would probably not bear so dark a reputation. l don't think Mrs. Stoves Dred alone would have fired my boyish imagination with this dream. No, it was Tom Moore's poem, learned by heart, with it's weird and po- tent spell:
 "But oft from the Indian hunters camp,
 The maid and her lover so true
 Are seen al the hour of midnight damp To cross the lake by a firefly lamp,
 And paddle their white canoe.'
 I have written that stanza from mem- ory; l haven't seen the poem for 20 years, but I'll wager it's right to a sYl- lable. I knew swamps in my boyhood, tolerably wet and tolerably gloomy The Dismal Swamp was my delicious night mare of the composite wetness and gloom of all those dark corners of our New England woods. I longed to visit 1t, to creep -thraugh its tangle to the weird Ande lake where the lover nor 1owes bat of the birchen bark and to see, perhaps, that strange appar1on, or at the very least fugitive slave pursued by bloodhounds.
 Well, I have been to the Dismal Swamp at last and camped on the shore of it's lake. I saw no apparition In "a boat of the birchen bark" Indeed, there being no birches in the swamp, the chances of it were somewhat diminished 1 in advance. Less fortunate than Porte Crayon," the American magazine Illus trator, who went into the swamp with

his sketch book in 1S56 I saw no gigantic negro peering warily through the reeds, with a finger on the trigger of his rire. l did not even see any water, outside of the lake and canals Although it was early May when my companion and l entered the swamp, and the spring Of 1910 was not dry one, we could walk dry-shod everywhere that we attempted it. There were no mosquitoes nor yellow flies to annoy Us so early in the sea- son. We saw no snakes The air was warm and balmy by day, cool and soft by night. Innumerable birds sang in the wilderness about us. The prevalent northwest wind ruffled the dark waters of Lake Drummond, that silent pool in the heart of the unbroken forest, till they danced merrily. The days were one long delight, and the nights so still and deep as only he who has been in the wiluer- ness can understand, while a little moon rode up out of the expresses and. turned to silver the white mist on the water. The Dismal Swamp remains today, in spite of the ioggers and the attempts at agricultural reclamation. much as it mas been for a century. It has suffered in popular estimation from it's associations. Intrinsically, it is the opposite of dismal; it Is a virgin paradise.

ROSSINfS "STABAT MATER"
 SOITTH HIGHLANDS CHURCH

This afternoon at o'clock "Stabat Ma ter" by Rossini, will be sung at the South Highlands Presbyterian church by the large chorus choir of this church.
 Rossini wrote this work, or the first part of it, in 1892, or his friend. Don Valera, the Spanish minister, and it was not in- tended to be made public. He fell i'll before it's completion, and the last four numbers were written by Tadolini. On the death of Don Valera, some eight years later, his heir sold the work to Paris publisher. Rossini immediately claimed copyright and brought action, in which he was successful He then wrote the four final numbers to replace those of Tadolini, and sold the work to Trou- penas, the publisher The first complete performance of it took place at Sale Ventadour in Paris. January T. 1S42. The public is cordially invited to hear this fine Jratorio Those taking the principal parts are Miss Mallam, Mrs. Holmes, Miss Ivey, Mrs. Bruce, Miss Basenberg, MT. T. o.

In his annual report the president or the Carnegie foundation has this to say of the Rhodes American scholars quot
 ing Oxford tutors:
 "The Rhodes scholars who have como to this college from the United States are in point Of natural ability fully the equal of our ordinary open scholars; in point of energy, seriousness, and force of character they are. in my judgment, de- cidedly their superiors.
 About their work we are not quite so well satisfied. The American scholars who have come to us are intelligent and
 interested in many subjects. But they seldom or never settle down to do long spell of thorough work. They have near ly all ceased to develop by the time they graduate in the states, and do not really feel inclined to go much further. It must be remembered, also, that they have not the same incentive to work as Solonist scholar. The latter knows that honors gained at an English university will be of some help to him in after life. The American, on the other hand, feels that his fture career does not depend in any .appreciable degree upon our examina- tions
 American scholars seem inclined to drift from one subject to another, taking a brde seye view of each, and resting content with that.

Barmaids in South Australia

 South Australia is suffering from a bar maid famine. Two years ago barmaids were abolished in that state by act of par lament No more could be legally en- gagged but those already employed could remain on condition that they registered themselves.
 There are now only 400 of them left, anl the competition for their services is such that their wages have jumped from 25 shillings to e3 a week. The hotels that have had to employ barmen report con- siderable change for the worse in their receipts

any amount of theory. When first put to duty he was attached to a police division where fowl stealing and allot- ment thieving abounded. Two cases brought to light through his instru- mentality soon put stop to these crimes.
 Not long ago a serious case of rob bery and assault were reported. Shad- over 12 hours later was put on the case. He at once got away oh the trail of the thieves, following them across some seven fields to a place where they had evidently put down a sack containing the birds and had crossed another farm to commit a further raid. Here they were scared by dog chain ed in the vicinity, and they returned
 in a half-circle to the sack, traversed two other fields, climbed the fences of railway, and eventually reached a cart which was waiting for them in a grove. The hound followed the cart until the main road was reached, on which were travelling many carts going to a market The police now had plen- ty evidence upon which to proceed, ana in short time they had the case com plete.

A Priceless
 Recipe

Our chefs spent two years in perfect ing the recipe used for Van Camps Spaghetti.
 As made today, there are 17 ingre- dients, each the finest of it's kind. The wonder lies in the harmony of taste-in the perfect blend and flavor. Perhaps you have eaten spaghetti in Rome. Perhaps you have eaten delicious spaghetti elsewhere. But you'll be quick to say that you never have tasted recipe like this. We use to make it:
 Durum wheat spaghetti.
 Herkimer County full cream cheese. Best creamery butter.
 The same expensive tomato sauce we
 use in Van Camps Pork and Beans. It comes to you ready-cooked. All you have to do is to heat. .it-or bake it, if you prefer. If you had the recipe, and could make it yourself, it would cost you more than to buy it. This is our newest dish-the most popular dish ever produced by our chefs.
 We have never before met such a furore of favor.
 Find out why. Tell your grocer to send few cans and see what you think of this new dinner delight. Company E.';si;hsd sssi Indianapolis, Ind.

From a spectators standpoint the De-
troit team furnishes more real enter
tainment during a ball game than any
of its rivals. To view the Tigers in ac-
ton Immediately creates the impression
that 1t is a successful combination. ever
though one was not familiar with its
successes. There is certain amount OF
dash about that team which is impress
sive. Not that the Tigers play any more
brilliant ball than do the Athletics. but
their style Of play is more picturesque
than that OF the champions. OF course
the presence Of Cobb has much to do
with this. The prowess Of the Georgia
Peach is inspiring. and there is no doubt
that the remarkable spirit that Cobb dis
plays has a good effect on the other
members Of the team.
Then there is Jennings, whose methods
differ from those of any other manager,
so far as activity in the game is con-
cerned. Though not actually engaged in
the contest. he is very much in the game.
and works as hard as any Of his players
on the coaching lines. Speed is one of
the Tigers greatest requisites. and by
means Of 1t and an ordinary amount OF
Intelligence on the bases this team scores
q lot Of runs which other teams would
not get
Hugh Jennings coaching is not, as many
suppose, code OF signals for his players
Certain words do rot mean to do certain
things or anything OF that sort. though
the willy Hughie Is perfectly willing to
have this impression go out. The Jenning:
system, like that of the old Baltimore
club, where he got his early education
is to allow the players to think for them
selves. Jennings gives no signs from the
coacher's box either by word or motion.
He lays down a system for his players II
follow and he relies upon their intelligence
to do the right thing at the right time
Aside from being amusing to the specta.
tors. Jennings coaching is OF a kind
that keeps his players on edge. There IL
nothing monotonous about his efforts. and
he works up a spirit that stands the play
ers in good stead. With the boss encour-
aging and hustling as does Jennings
there is not much chance for any aflng
Hughey's only object in displaying the
antics he does
Among the several things that tho
Nationals peed, speed should not be for
gotten. Excepting one or two members
OF the team, McAleeT has slow lot, ana
there Is no telling how many games have
OF ths players to move faster than q
fearse. Speed Is wonderful help to q
ball team. 1t is not only what it gains
directly for a team, but the effect 1t has
on the opposition. The player with the
reputation of being fast and daring does
much to unAarve the opposing felders,
for It means that they must hurry when
he offers q play. and haste often makes
waste.
