Author Of EisAt velunes.
Thoreau was the author Of eight vol
times. Six Of these were not published
until after his death. In writing his
rsnge was narrow. but In that circle he
was master. Beauty Of description
Independence Of thought. and ciearnsss
Of e;ct;on are characteristics Of his lit
erary productions.
Although the poet naturalist 3pent more
than half OF his life in the open, he
fell a victim TO consumption. which was
probably inherited from his fathers side
Of the family. The author died May 6,
1862. from the dread white plague. His
Geath was undoubtedly brought about
prematurely by exposure 10 the cold and
campness while on excursions into the
woods. Many night he slept on the
cold, wet ground with no covering over
HIM.
Thoreau was q firm believer in I'M
mortality, but when q friend questioned
him just before his death concerning the
life to come. he answered: "One world

On the comm Of the poet naturalist were
Inscribed at his request these words:
Hail, to thee, o man! thou hast come
from the transitory place to the imper-

After the Harper's Ferry episode, when
Brown was held in universal contempt
by the people OF both North and South.
Thoreau suddenly announced his iuten-
ton of making a public defense of the
despised character. He heralded 1t
throughout the neighboring country that
he would deliver an address, at Concord
on Sunday night. October 80, 1859. His
friends tried to persuade him not to at
tempt such a bold act, but Thoreau was
resolute, and when the evening arrived,
he was on the platform before a great
crowd. He delivered an address which
is now recognized as the most eloquent
and logical defense ever made Of John
Brown.
For once" he said. I'VE are lifted
into the region Of truth and manhood.
No man In America has ever stood up
so persistently and effectively Tor the
dignity of human nature. knowing HIM
self for a man, and the equal of any and
all governments. The only government
that l recognize-and 1t matters not how
few are at the head OF IL. or how small
its army-is that power which establishes
justice IN the land"
Thoreau was as radical and independ-
ent in thought as in deed. The following
beatitudes, which he framed, we'll illus
trate this fact:
Blessed were the DAYS before you
read a Presidents message.
Blessed are the young. for they do
not read the. Presidents message.
Blessed are they who never read a
newspaper. for they shall sec Nature.
and through her, God"
The following sentences are likewise
Characteristic Of Thoreau's style:

to build bridge to the moon, or per-
chance. L palace or temple on the earth.
and at length the middle-aged man con-
ciCdes to build a woodshed with them.

Medical Critic Rips
Modern HObbLe Skirt
TRUE INDICTMENTS
AGAINST THE DRESS

Some points raised by Modern
Medicine in condemning hobble
skirts and other apparel of the
fair sex:
Hobble skirts are a pitfall and
menace to the innocent and vir-
tuous female.
To be up to date women
thoughtlessly adopt the extreme.
They give no consideration to
the spectacle or freaks they be-
come.
Female apparel particularly re-
fleets the manners and morals of
a people and period.
Dress has value to the human
female as a means of attracting
masculine attention.
Often the qualities of reticence
and modesty are sacrificed that
alone make her attractive.

The Costumes Are Pit

Women, Say the Edi-
tors.

American Medicine which is devoted
to the interests OF the medical profess
sion. rips the far-famed hobble skirt to
shreds in its current issue Declaring
that the hobble has no artistic charm,
the editor proceeds to consider the skirt
from a moral physical, medical. fashion
able and psychological standpoint. and
assures womankind that from none OF
these lights Is 1t to be considered as fit.
1t might seem that the hobble skirt
was frivolously outside the purview of
a learned publication, but no:
The subject falls well within the
scope of a scientific medical journal since
there can be no question but that human
apparel-of the female particularly-re-
fleets to a marked degree the manners
and morals of people as Well as periods.

style. Called DIsgustinE.
Alas, the features of female dress
which have served legitimate purpose
as long as they have not transgressed
the bounds of decency and modesty,
have for some time been tending to an
accumulation and exaggeration of certain
details. that are disgusting to
every decent instinct
Coming down here fatly to discus
sion of present styles. the hobble skirt
and others. the editor declares:
They are a pitfall and a menace to
the innocent and virtuous female. and
as such are intolerable for our daugh-
tiers, sisters, and womankind in general

ticle continues, Ito recognize the evils
presented by these monstrosities of mod

No one will doubt the statement that
The more the situation is studied the
more bewildered one is apt to become"
The serious side of the subject Is pre-
scented. however, in this thoughtful con-
sideration of the whole tendency Of mod
ern fashion:
Surely it cannot be that our girls and
young women are losing their moral sense
or lowering their standards of virtue?''
says the writer of the article, and he
answers the question. NO, II is not this
yet. At present the disgusting and de-
PRAYED methods and styles of dress that
are so devervine of criticism are attri- |
butable solely to a desire that so many |
young girls and women have of being
modern and up-to-date. to be just little |

ciates. Thoughtlessly they adopt ex-
