Riley's Infirmity.

The report that James whitcomb
Riley, The Hoosier poet" has lost
the use of his right hand and will not
be able TO produce any more poetry
may be the creation of an ingenius
publisher desiring to call public at
tention to Riley's works at a time
when bookbuying is heaviest.
At any rate, giving the publisher what
he wants, the hope will be entertain.
ed that the report, like that of Mark
Twain's death, 'is very much exag-
gerated." and the reason is that no
other contemporaneous writer of DO
etry so nearly expresses the thought
OF the commonality OF mankind as
does Riley. He is the poet OF the un.
vanished emotion. the songster free
from pedantry and the artificalities
which some call culture. He takes
men back to the farm and the coun-
try store, to the spring house and the
brook, to the corn land and the
meadow-"back TO Grigsby's station,
where we were so happy and so poor. -
There Is but one Riley and It were
wisdom to appreciate him while he Is
still with us and when appreciation
will count most with him

Especial Correspondence of The Argus.)
Washington, Dec. 13.-Congressman
James NJ Graham of Illinois made one
of the strongest speeches of the pres
ent session in defense of the Sher-
wood bill to increase pensions of the
old soldiers. In his speech Mr.. Ora
ham referred to the diminishing num-
Der of old soldiers, and pointed out
that those who still remain are in
greater need than ever Of the aid
given them by the government for
their sacrifice in saving the union.
When / was home during the vaca-
ton l visited many of my old soldier
constituents" said Judge Graham,
"and never before so clearly realized
the condition that many of them are
in. I remember distinctly one whom
saw lying helpless in his very hum
BILE home, which he had mortgaged to
the extent of half its value in order
to live at all. His wife, almost blind,
was waiting on him, and he had no
one else to help him. Death has since
claimed him, and the splendid loyal
service his wife rendered him is sure
ly worthy of some recognition. Yet,
under the law, she can get no assist
ance because she married him after
1890. That law should be changed.
WHAT THEY DID.
The soldiers of the civil war did
all Of us an immense good in preserv-
ing the union for US. Had not the
boys in blue gone to the front when
they did we would now have to live
in a divided country. Theirs was a

tuberculosis is on the increase, it
is claimed. and in some cities drastic
are being considered in the
matter of isolating victims OF the dis
ease.
In a recent instance in Ohio,
woman who refused to heed instruc-
tons given her to prevent her from
injecting others, was taken against her
will to the city hospital by the health
authorities. 1t is expected that other
action OF the kind will follow.
1T is almost impossible to make an
adult tubercular patient realize that
he is a menace to the community"
stated a well known physician recent
ly.
1T seems to be a trait that goes
with the disease. Even those well
along in the disease laugh at advice
concerning themselves and refuse to
take any precautions to arrest 1t or
to keep it from injecting others.
Il have patients who refuse to be-
lieve they are even ill-beyond a
cold or not just feeling fit today,
They will believe they have any
other ailment under the sun, but the
one which affiicts them.
They kiss their relatives and
friends and little children. They ex.
rectorate where they please, when
they feel like it. They insist some
times upon sleeping with somebody
else. They put their infected hand
kerchiefs and other laundry into the
family washing. They will cough
openly across a dinner table or in a
crowded street car.
They seem to take delight in ex
posing themselves.
"One of my patients whose three
sisters died of consumption, would not
heed any warnings. On the coolest
winter night she would change hel
warm underwear for lightweight low
necked and short-sleeved wear so thai
she might wear a decolette gown tc
a party. Then she would dance her
self into perspiration and sit next tC

This reluctance to admit that one

South Africa, and it would take any
nation on the face Of the earth a great

Complete isolation of a patient
seems a cruelty. Yet it is less cruel
to isolate one than it is to permit

because Of that one.
Fearing tuberculosis isn't enough.
There is only one thing to do If you

This is possible for almost anybody,

Fifteen years ago Mr.. Bryan was a

1t was Sunday morning. The State
Street Presbyterian church of Berke-
lev was crowded to hear the first SER
mon of the new minister. the Rev.
Charles Fordham. Miss Dorothy Cum

the church-sat in her fathers pew

Quence.
The following Tuesday evening Miss
Cummings appeared at the weekly
prayer meeting, surprising those who
Tor years had been regular in their at

On Thursday the minister dined at
the home Of Deacon Cummings, and
Miss Dorothy during the evening found
an opportunity to say to him that she
had been deeply impressed by his Sun
day sermon and would like to converse
with him on the subject of the dis
course. Mr.. Fordham signifled his will
fngness to further enlighten her, sug-
costing that she call at the church
whenever she chose.
Miss Cummings did not appear at
the church on the second Sunday Of
the new clergyman's administration.
To inquiries concerning her her mother
announced that she was tndisposed.
Mrs. Cummings bore a message to the
same effect from her daughter to Mr..
Fordham and asked If he could find
it convenient to call during the week,
since she was not well enough to go

Clark E. Carr, Orator.


The Chicago Evening Post, COM
menting upon the oratorical efforts
Of Colonel Clark E. Carr, character
ICES the Galesburg rhetorical whirl-
wind as ''the old school orator" When
he celebrated the commonwealth
93rd birthday before the students of
the state university recently he did
the oratorical trick in what Sir Joshua
Reynolds baptized ''the grand style"
Thus the colonel, starting in with
the days Of Marquette, LaSalle and
Father Hennep!n, came generously
down the years to the present gran
deur OF Illinois. And this was his
climax:
Lincoln, Douglas, Grant and Lo-
gan! What other commonwealth can
number among her immortals such
great names? Such as these can
scarcely be found in the realms of
fancy In the ethics Of Homer such
a galaxy does not appear. If one as
cends the heights Of Olympus and
contemplates the divinities in the
sublimity and glory with which
mythology endows them, he will
search in vain for attributes SO sub
lime and character so majestic. Had
Illinois only given these four to the
nation she would have been distin-
guished as is no other common.

states. Yet were Lincoln and Doug
las and Grant and Logan not nm
bered among those sent forth from
the prairies, there would still appear
in the armament Of American glory
a constellation Of Illinois statesmen
and heroes that would illumine the
world.
New York is Justly called the EN-
pire state and Pennsylvania the Key
stone state. Illinois must be recog-
nized as the stately dome of the
American Republic"
II Is going to be bit strong to elm
mate Lincoln, Grant and Logan. Just
at this moment we cannot recall in
the armament OF American glory any
other constellation Of Illinois states
men and heroes who would illumine
the world very brightly. Certainly
the candle power of our incumbent
statesmen is not overpowering.
But as for Colonel Carr's rhetorical
exaggerations being provincial pro-
duct we Indignantly repel the insinua
ton. For we find this gem in a fare
