HERO OF A FIELD POEM
'Penn yam Dill'' closes n Romantic
Career of Affluence and
Poverty.

William c. Buskett OF Montana. who
died in a hospital at Spokane recently,
was the hero of Eugene Fields poem.
Penn Yam Bill" Buskett and the poet
were boys together in st. Louis; their
friendship lasted through life. Buskett
drifted TO Montana many years ago,
went into the mining business and made
fortune. When he first struck it rich
and was at loss for a name for his
mine-so the story goes-he asked the
local postmaster to turn to the list of
postoffices in New York, and the first
postoffice on the left hand page would
give it's name to the mine. 1t happened
to be Penn Yam. This mine made Bus
kett wealthy, and several other ventures
were successful. but later he lost his for
tune in ill-adyised speculatons.
While he was in the flood of fortune
about twenty-five years ago, Buskett
came TO Chicago. and Eugene Field, at
his invitation, called upon him at his
hotel. They dned together and Buskett
asked to be excused for a few minutes
while he wrote to his sweetheart,
young woman of kentucky. Having
nothing else to do, Field picked UP a pad
Of paper and scIibbled off THE Woolng
Of Penn Yam Bill" now found in his col
lected works. In this narrative are nine
eight-line stanzas, and after relating tho
nroads made upon the young Ken
tuckian's affections, responsive to the
purrings of Penn Yam Bill" the poem
concludes:
OF course, she had to love him, for it
was her nature TO.
And she'll wed him in the summer, IL
what we hear Is true.
The blue grass will be waving in that old
Kentucy glade.
Where the biaek-eyed Susans cluster in
the pleasant walnut shade,
Where the doves make mournful music
and the locust thrills song
To the brook that through the pasture
scampeTs merrily along;
And speechless pride and rapture ineffa-
BILE shall fill
The beatific bosom of Pen Yam Bill.
Marriage was certainly the intention
at that time. but the tickle gods decreed
otherwise. and the 'bonny maiden of
the pretty name of Sue" and Penn Yam
Bill' met only to part. Buskett continu-
ing in bachelorhood to the end OF his
days. 1t was for Buskett that Eugene
Field wrote out many of his poems In
manuscript. collecting them in quaint
heavy book, the volume finally coming
into the possession of w X. Bixby, the
millionaire collector OF ST. Louis. who
published a fac simile edition of three
hundred for his friends. Reverses COM
PEELED Buskett to part with much Of his
Fieldiana, of which he had a surprising
collection. Penn Yam Bill" was on his
way to visit his sister in Seattle when
| he was seized with the illness which
ended his life in the hospital at Spokane.

llS. .2sS head for the corresponding week OF
last year. The receipts OF range stock
have fallen off very materially during the
week, while there has been a large in
crease Of cornfed westerns and natives.
The week started out with good de-
mand for killers at stronger prices, but
later on both sheep and lambs weakened
and at the close of the week prices on
both sheep and lambs were anywhere
from steady to as much as i5c lower with
fat lambs fully 25c lower Fed lambs sold
as high as 500 at the beginning of the
week, but It is a question if anything
would bring over $3.50 at the close, as
against S5.75 at the close of last week
There has been little or no change in
the feeder trade throughout the week
Receipts have been very light, but the
country has been taking a good many Of
the half fat kinds that were shipped in
for killers.

LAST PENSION OF REVOLUTION
Death Removes Last Name on the
Honor Roll of Freedoms
Struggle.

That the United States commissioner
Of pensions should be poet of man OF
romantic imagination during office hourR
is hardly to be expected, but that he
should record the death of the govern
ments last Revolutionary war pensioner
in the tersest of routine bureau lam
guage, without so much as a footnote or
wreath in pen and ink to call atten-
ton to the entry, seems To the layman
like missing an opportunity.
But such was the manner i'm which the
death of Mrs Phoebe NJ. Palmeter.
daughter OF Jonathan Wooley. a soldier
of the Revolution, has Just been
recorded in Washington, thereby remov-
ing the last name from the pension
roll of 176.
1t was five years ago that the last
Revolutionary war widow pensioned by
the government died at the age OF a
In the old house at Plymouth Rock, VT.
H. which she had lived for three-quarters
of a century. She was Mrs. Esther 3.

by the government oads, there are stlll
forty-seyen women In the United States
VINO uraW their pensions edch mohlh
from the National Society Of the Daugh-
ters Of the American Revolution. Each
of them is the daughter Ct soldier
Of 20. The quaint, almost archaic no
menclature Of the list would indicate
that. There arc Lucindas and Belindas
among them, names that suggest the
minuet, the broeaded satins, rich old
laces, and huge fans of painted satin
and ivory OF a century ago.
Then, too, there are gentle Lavinias and
sweet Melissas, who Immediately appear
before the minds eye in de!icatcly figured
prints, and be-ribboned silk hoods. The
stately and very Understanding
names OF Sophronla, Samantha and abb
gail are also found among the forty
seven, and one imagines them excellent
mothers OF many children busy all day
and far into the night with their spin
ming, baking, intending and manifold other
household cares. Elmira, Adelia and
Aurelia are on the list. too. with an oc-
casional dainty Narcissa or Cinderella.
