SAPPHO WAS GREATEST POET
SO Said Swinburne In Glowing Ap.
probation Of the Greek
Poetess.

London.-A hitherto unpublished ap
probation by Swinburne of the Greek
poetess Sappho appears in the Satur
day Review. The appreciation, which
is glowing In praise and apparently
dates back to the middle period OF
Swinburne's life. concludes thus:
Judging even from the mutilated
fragments that have fallen within our
reach from the broken altar OF her
sacrifice of song. / have always agreed
with all Grecian tradition in thinking
Sappho. beyond all question and com.
parison. the very greatest poet that
ever lived Aeschylus Is the greatest
poet who ever was. also prophet
Shakespeare is the greatest dramatlsi
who ever was. also a poet. But Sap.
pho was simply nothing less. as she
certainly was nothing more than the
greatest poet who ever was at all"

New York.-"To be shot at sunrise"

in the Civil war romances. OF late
1t has cropped up in the sunrise for
yours form or vaudeville, and now
bids fair TO become one OF the stand
ard phrases OF humor. A short time
ago | heard the expression in n vaude-

laughed. says a writer in the New
York Sun. The next morning l saw
the actual thing-and didn't laugh.
The execution. as Mexican execu-
lions go. was mere incident There
had been many before this one. there
will be many in the future. The two
men executed were named Juan and
Ramon. last names unknown. and the
only reason why their end. which was
similar to that OF many others OF
their class, is now recorded is the
fact that one OF the El Paso news

was used in the theater and remarked
that the actual thing was cheaper than

was charged and that an execution

The firing squad had brought their
guns to the order and the captain
stepped forward. at the same tune
drawing his revolver to administer the
"tiro de gracias," the act OF thanks.
He placed the muEzle OF the revolver
at the head OF Ramon and fired and
then stepped TO the body OF Juan and
repeated the action. I do not know
whether the two men were dead before
this. but think they were.
The bodies were placed side by side,
face upward And then the strongest
part OF the whole affair took place.

New Fork City this fam The labor
unions have decided to take the money
the parade would cost and use It to
relieve unemployed union men.
IN times past in New York City,
many thousands Of union men have
marched ON the first Monday in Sep
tember Their parades have been
spectacular No money was spared
IN making them success. The horses
In the parade were union-shod and
the men nnion-equipped. There were
union bands and union badges. There
were union-made uniforms and union
Refreshments So that the expense to
the union men for their Labor Day
parade, In one way or another, led to
an expenditure running into a great
sum Of money. Ali this As to be fore
gone this year and the unions, very
commercially, will turn the money to
help their unemployed brothers.
This instance Of practical charity
on the part Of union organizations is
attracting wide attention over the
country and has caused considerable
comment, especially in view Of Presi-
dent Wilson'S statement that the hard
times are purely Psychological.
One good natured working man says
he is sure getting psychological pay
checks" He also says he is buying
psychological shoes" and probably
will soon be eating out Of "psychoI
logical dinner pail"
