QUEER OCCUPATION FOR POET
Walt Whitman, Not Being Able to Make Both Ends Meet With His
 Poetry, Went Into Commerce.


 Walt Whitman. wasn't as successful as the English poet, Alfred Moves, in making both ends meet with his poetry" said a Philadelphia editor Waits muse had nothing like the shallow, commonplace, commercial quality of the young Englishmans.
 T used to visit Walt Whitman in his old age in his little two-story wooden house in Mickle street, Cam den. One day-it's pleasanc souvenir this. of old-time Philadel phia-} tone day in Dece1nber said to him.
 We'll. Walt, how ale tnlI.s - =. = this winter? Any Christmas Subscrip- tions needed?
 No said the old poet No, indeed, I'm working now. I'm working for George w. Childs. He pays me $50 a month.'
 -Good.' said I. And what's your job with Childs?'
 " Riding in the horse cars, said Walt. I ride about the city, talk to the drivers and conductors I find out which of them need winter overcoats, and, guessing their size, I notify Childs, who fits them out forthwith. It's easy pleasant work, and it saves Childs lot of trouble over measure ments and so forth.'"

BROKE HORSE OF BAD HABIT
Lag of Sand, Something Like Punch ing Bao," Did the Business
 Quite Simply.

Noah Spears, Bay Shore farmer, has discovered way to break a horse of kicking. according to Milford let ter to the Wilmington (Del.) News. Spears tells the following story: "I filled a stout gunny sack with sand and suspended it from the ceiling in the rear of the stall by rope in such a position behind the horse that it's heels could have good play upon it. This large pendulum, needing only a strong power to start it, would swing with clocklike precision as soon as the horse began to play its acrobatic stunts upon it. At the first kick the bag swung away, only to return with more force, giving the animal much more than it had sent This unexpect- eyd return on the part of the bag caused the horse to kick harder, but each time the bag returned harder and paid the animal with interest. Finally the horse, realizing that further kicking would be fruitless, stopped kicking. The bag was allowed to hang in the same position for an entire week, but no more use for 1t was seen"

Western Newspaper Unfor News Service

The matter will be adjusted at a conference between the Railroad Commission, counsel for the state - the rate cases and interested shippers or Arkansas, which will be held as soon as the opinion and mandate oi the Supreme Court of the United States is published, which is expected to be about July 15,&
 A short conference between Judge Joseph M. Hill of Fort Smith and rail way commissioners was held last week. Judge Hill said that the man date of the Supreme Court probably will not be issued within 30 days after the decision was rendered Until he receives a copy of the opinion and mandate, it will be impossible for the Railroad Commission to take any con. structive steps.
 In the meantime the Railroad Com mission members are prepared to make immediate adjustmert Of the overcharges as soon as counsel for the commission is ready. While all shippers of the state will be welcome at the conference, it was stated at the commission office that it is not neces- sary for any shipper to be present, be the commission will protect in every instance the interest Of the shsp- pers.

VANISHED Coffee Finally Had to Go.

The way some persons cling to cof- fee, even after they know it is doing them harm, is .puzzler. But it is an easy matter to give it up for good, when Postum is pEQperly made and used instead. A girl writes:
 "Mothe- had been suffering with nervous headaches for seven weary years, but kept on ttrinking coffee.
 One day I asked her why she did had done who had taken to Postum. But Mother was such slave to coffee she thought it would he terrible to give it up.
 Finally, one day, she made the change to Postum, and quickly her headaches disappeared One morning while she was drinking Pcstum so freely and with such reMsh, asked for taste.
 That started me on Postum and now drink it more freely than l did coffee, which never comes into our house now"

 instant Postum doesn't require boii- ing, but is prepared instantly by stir ring level teaspoonful in an ordinary cup of hot water, which makes it right for most persons.

STORY OF A FAMOUS SONG.
A Dismal, Rainy Day Moved Dan En-
met to Write Dixie

"Dixie" was written by Dan Emmett,
both words and music. Ii was sung
for the first time Monday. Sept. 10.
1859. on the stage of Bryant's Ministries
at 472 Broadway, New York. There
has been much controversy over the
question of authorship and over the
music. The known history of the song
has been carefully compiled by Gus
tav Kobbe In his Famous American
Songs" as follows:
ION Saturday night Sept. IL, 1853,
after the performance one of the Bry-
ants told Emmett that new walk
around was wanted in time for re-
hearsal on Monday. The minstrel re-
piled that, while the time was very
short, he would do his best. That
night after he reached home he tried
to hit upon some tune, but the music
wouldn't come His wife cheerily told
him to wait until morning. He should
have the room to himself so that he
could work undisturbed. and when he
had finished the walk around he could
play 1t for her as sole audience. II
she liked 1t the Bryants would and 80
would the average listener.
Next day was rainy and dismal.
Some years before Emmett had travelled
with circus as drummer. In winter
the warm southern circuit was a popu-
lar route with circus people, and those
who were obliged to show north would
say when the cold weather would make
them SILVER, 4 wish ! was in Dixie
The phrase was, In fact, a current cir
Gus expression. On that dismal Sep
TENDER day, probably the beginning of
the equinoctial, when Emmett stepped
to the window and looked out the old
longing for the pleasant south came
over him, and involuntarily he thought
to himself, L wish / was In Dixie
Like fash the thought suggested
the first line for walk around, and a
little later the minstrel, fiddle in hand,
was working out the melody which.
coupled with the words, made Dixie a
genuine song of the people almost from
the instant It was first sung"
