PASSING OF THE QUEUE.
AEe-oId Headdress No Longer Worn
in Fashionable Circles.

From the Shanghai National Review.
A large number of Shanghai officials
merchants, and others have now cut of
their queues and every day the new fash
ion is coming more into popular favor.
1t is significant to note that many OF
those who have discarded or who con-
template discarding, this ancient badge
state that they are actuated by motives
of cleanliness and general convenience.
Doubtless there is some more potent in
fiuence at work, as indicated in the re-
markable pronouncement recently ema-
mating from the national assembly, but
at the same time the advent Of this fash
ion-and it has already become fashion
able-marks a great step forward in the
economic progress Of the people and to-
ward hygienic methods.
The Queue is an unmitgated nuisance
to an who wear 1t. 1t Is a source of &C
cident to the person and a menace to
the health and comfort of all and sundry.
And here we would remark that this mat
ter affords another striking evidence of
the change that is coming over China.
Time was, and that within the last two
years, when any reference to this subject
among representative people in this coun-
try was taboo, while to-day it is SUBJ
ject of comprehensive discussion and,
similarly to the vicious practices of
opium smoking and foot-binding, the
wearing of a ..pig-tail' is rapidly becom-
ing bad form"

Among American poets James Whit
comb Riley is in many respects unique,
and is undoubtedly one of the best be-
loved. There is a reason to be found
for this in the simple subjects he has
taken and the plain way in which he
has treated them, so plain. and simple.
and homely that they are easily within
the craps of all readers. Riley has writ
ten for the common people, but poetry
that never fails in its appeal to the
great minds, which is always sure to
appreciate true sentiment even in small
things. Much of Riley's poetry is odd
both in rhyme and photography, but it
nevertheless touches just the right spot,
and he is no doubt read and admired by
more people than any other of the
poets of the present generation.
Frank L. Stanton, contemporary
singer, has eulogized Riley in verse that
Is simple and touching:
The mockin' birds air singin'
OF swecter kind O. song
For it's whispered in the blossoms
That Riley's ccmin' long.
One fothe best examples of Riley's
homely verse is to be found in his poem
"Out to Old Aunt Mary's." 1t is child
like In its simplicity, yet it is mature in
the way it expresses sentiment. 1t lives
and breathes the character of the COM
mon folk Of the Hoosier State. which has
a prototype in the farm district of any
State
Although it has been many years since
Riley has lived and labored among that
class of people which almost wholly give
inspiration to his pen. yet the larger
surroundings of the great city life has
never found the same interest for him as
the places and personages of the old
farm.
Long before Riley became famous as a
poet and lecturer he was a country ''ad
painter" A journeyman who tramped
about the country, painting on fences, old
buildings, and wherever he could get per-
mission. directions to thu ruralites as to
where they could get the best goods for
the least money in the nearby village.
Finally Riley struck Kokomo, Ind. Here
he had his first opportunity to dabble
with type, and here first he saw the
product of his brain transferred to ink
an paper. which previously had been ac-
cepted only by fence rails and paint. Most
of the atmosphere of Riley's poems may
be traced to his residence in this quaint
little Indiana town.
odd Aunt Mary's," which he has so
finely set out in his poem printed above,
was only a very short distance out from
Kokomo. 1t was not an imaginative per-
son Riley pictured. The characters of not
one of the many poems of the Hoosier
writer, but had actual existence. This
old lady was a dear old body, and she
may and undoubtedly did have another
name. but nobody in her parts knew her
other than Aunt Mary" She lived on a
farm. and on as typical one as could
be found in that section of Indiana. There
was an old uncle. but for some reason or
other he cut but a small figure in COM
parison with his lovable spouse
Riley became acquainted with Aunt
Mary as he did with every good old and
young soul in that section. They knew
him as "Jim," and he was just as well
come among them as any of their own
