The newspapers have been doing

to find out what the public agents

THE POETRY or THE FUTURE.

Poetry is going to dominate the next
age just as a great historic religion doml-
mated an age that passed Some time ago
and spirit of scientific research after
facts dominates the age that is passing
Now. in a certain pessimistic philosophy
which poets will always resent there is IA
disposition TO see in the creation of our
earth a mere accident in which the pow
er behind its harmonias Is an eyeIess
blundercr. hideous grinning novelty. a
blood stained jester The poetry that is
to command the spirit OF the next age is
to have nothing 10 do with this spirit,
There are a central philosophy and har
mony to life.
The future of poetry is immense. be-
cause In poetry. which is worthy of its
high destinies our race as time goes on
will come to feel an even surer and surer
stay.-Alfred Noyes. Famous English Poet
Now in America
Amid all the walls that no more po-
etry will be written it is comforting to
find one voice from man of common
sense and vision
Poetry will never die till love dies.
till religion dies, till music. art and
beauty die.
Mr.. Noyes recognizes the relation
between poetry and religion and pre-
diets that the two will become more
and more closely identified as the
years bring in the nobler race.
Real poetry and real religion have
always been identified The old He
brew prophets were the loftiest poets.
Dante's Divine Comedy" Millions
Paradise Lost" and Goethe's Faust
are among the Hottest poems Of any
age, and their themes are religious.
Wordsworth. Coleridge and Tennyson
sing ever of faith and Immortality.
Burns was an apostle Of the religion OF
humanity. Even Shelley, with all bis
professed atheism. is intensely reli-
gious in substance II not in form.
OF the great school of American
poets LongfeIlow. Lowell. Bryant and
Whittier breathe religion In almost
every line. Walt Whitman preached
the religion of democracy. Emerson
whom Mr.. Noyes pronounces the great

.LENCTHEN|NC OF
THE WAIST LINE.
This Is a Style Feature Which
Paris Has Adopted.

One absolutely new style in the mar
ket today Is the arrangement Of CIR
dies, sashes. belts or shaped bands
well below the normal waist line. says
the Dry Goods Economist. This Is a
Paris idea. which bids fair to obtain
general adoption.
At first the, idea was used only on
blouse dresses. Now 1T appears on
smart afternoon frocks and evening
gowns, In fact. the influence Of this
idea is evident even in the conserva-
tive street dresses showing the semi
fitted Wrists and draped skirts.
The girdle which finishes the waist
line on these models extends about
two inches above and several inches
below the waist. The line Is almost
far enough down on the hips to be
classified ms skirt yoke. 81
Evening gowns have soft sashes Of
tulle, Grape or ribbon loosely arranged
several inches below the normal waist
line in crushed girdle effect. ending
at the point Of junction at the left hip.
Long ends fall nearly to the skirt edge.
Mention was recently made of the
Balkan blouse and court dresses show
ing the curveless waist and hip girdles
and belts. With the ushering in of
! the spring season many Of these styles
| will be seen.

Of linen, wolfe. ratine and novelty cot
tons. Some are made with a peplum
and a crushed girdle. Others show

fitting more smoothly about the hips

PROGRESS OF TARIFF BILL.

The Tariff bill is now before the
Senate Tor debate. 1t is believed
that this bill will be debated by the
Senate for four or five weeks and
that it will pass the Senate about
August IS. The President is very
certain that the bill will pass the
Senate by a substantial majority.
The Democrats have flfty-one
members in the Senate, but it is
likely that one or both of the Loulsl-
ana Senators will vote against the
bill, so that will leave forty-nlne
Democrats to pass the bill. There
is some doubt about Schaffroth OF
Colorado and Newlands of Nevada.
If these two Senators should 60 so
far as to vote against the bill it is
very certain that Poindexter of Wash
ington, Progressive, !" will vote
with the Democrats, thereby making
he votes stand forty-eight for and
forty-eight against the bill, causing
tie.
In that event Vice-President Mar
shall will cast the deciding vote and
pass the bill.
