A Talented keokuk Girl.

The Trusting Tree. Poetic Play, by
Mann Clark Barr.
Burlington Hawk-Eye: Mann Clark
Barr was but little girl only a few
years ago. She is the daughter of Dr.
G. Walter Barr, of Keokuk. Dr. Barr
named her after his great newspaper
friend, Sam Clark. Whether or not the
name was an influence in Miss Nann's
life or whether from the gifted faith
er sprang her clever literary talent,
the writer cannot say. At all events.
Mann Clark Barr has in the last few
years of her life grown up to be a
woman who will soon take a place of
command in literary fields. When she
was the little girl of only short time
ago she wrote poetry SO good that
St Nicholas was glad to print it.
Many OF her little efforts saw the light
in that publication. In those days
Albert Bigelow Paine was editor of
a young folks department of St. Mich
olas He discovered Miss Barr and
he developed her talent. often writing
her letters of encoura cement. Now
Paine is the official biographer and
literary executor of the late Samuel
L. Clemens, but he still takes an in
terest in the little woman who is do
ing such good work with her pen and
her brain.
Miss Barr is now a student at the
Western College, at Oxford. Ohio. In
the midst of her studies, she has con-
tinued her literary work, and has
found time TO write poetic play of
considerable proportions. The story
OF the poem has to do with the time
of Robin Hood, and its telling is in
blank verse. There are a dozen or
more characters who speak and sing
throughout the play-Earl Tancred,
Gertrude his lady, Gareth their son.
Herman a minstrel, Robin Hood, chief
of the outlaws, and the members OF
j his merry band. Alison. Robin Hood
ward: Guy, Alison's outlaw lover:
and others of a minor part. The story
is a simple one of the love of Garetll
1 for the orphan girl, Alison, the ward
of Robin Hood. The two have
me- in the forest by accident. Al
first, Gareth's father seeks to slay
Robin Hood and his outlaws for kill
ing his deer. He expects his son
Gareth. to assist him in the enterprise
! When Gareth learns of his father s
plans. based on the treachery of the
outlaw. Guy, whom Allison had re
fused TO wed, he bastens TO the rob
+ Der chief and gives himself up as 9
hostage. The father goes to secure
/ his son. and meets Alison face TO face
and loves her for his sons sake, and
I in Welding TO their young romance

The poem is a charming one, beau
tifully written and full of light and
fervor. It is to be given by the col

! brilliant success. 1t stamps Mis-:
Barr as young woman of high lit
erary gifts.

LITTLE 10Y BLUE.

.
The little toy dog is covered with
dust,
But sturdy and staunch he stands;
And the little tin soldier is red with
rust
And his musket nlolds in his hands
Time was when the little toy dog vas
new,
And the soldier was passing fair;
And that was the time when our Lit
tie Boy Blue
Kissed them and put them there.
Now don't you go till l come he
said,
And don't you make any noise.
So, toddling off to his trundle bed,
He dreamt of the pretty toys,
And, as he was dreaming, an angel
song
Awakened our Little Boy Blue
Oh, the years are many, the years are
long.
But the little toy friends are true.
Ay. faithful to Little Boy Blue they
stand.
Each in the same old place,
Awaiting the touch of little hand.
The smile of little face;
And they wonder, as waiting the long
years through
In the dust of that little chair.
What has become OF our Little Boy
Blue.
Since he kissed them and put them
there.
