WRITTEN IN PRISON
Some Classics Composed While Az.
thors Were in Durance Vile.


Byron's famous poem, "The Prison
er Of Chillon," is supposed to be writ
ten by Downward, the Genevan pa
triot, while he was incarcerated In the
chateau of Chillon, on the shores of
the lake. But the poem was really
written at lightning speed while Byron
was imprisoned by inclement weather
for a night and a day in the neighbor-
hood.
Nevertheless, some notable literary
achievements have been really written
in Jail, undoubtedly the most out
standing being two Of the world's s
greatest classics. 1.-The Adventures of
Don Quixote" and 1.-The Pilgrim s
Progress" If only those two books
had belonged to the literature Of cap
tivity, they would have been sufficient
to make that literature distinguished
and immortal.
Thomas Cooper, the Chartist, whose
life reads like a romance, and whose
name is held in reverence by modern
reformers, wrote a remarkable poem
while he was lying in prison on ac-
count Of his political agitation. This
poem bears the remarkable title of
1.-The Purgatory Of Suicides" and
when it was published it created a
very considerable stir in the literary
world, for it had emanated from the
brain Of a man who had begun life as
a cobbler and had made himself mas

THE SOLITARY MAN
He is Often Lonesome and Feels Lost,
But True to Himself at Least.

But True to Himself at Least.
There is a peculiar state Of mind
which one experiences when he finds
himself in a company that cannot pos
sibly understand him. He Is made
aware that it is perfectly useless for
him to try to state his views. The peo-
pie about him would need years of
doubt, struggle and reflection, before
they could be prepared to appreciate
his thought. He is like one in foreign
country, where everyone is ignorant of
his language. There is nothing for
him to do but to retreat into silence.
Every thinker has felt this sense Of
utter helplessness and hopelessness.
When he is cast among religious bigots
or irreligous bigots, when he is con-
fronted with the cock sureness Of youth
and blind enthusiasm, when he is sur
rounded by minds that are soaked
through and through with the atmos-
phere Of some institution, when he Is
among the members of some sect or
cult or school who are impervious to
any idea that does not make for the
success Of their particular gospel, when
he is where those about him are ad-
mired in stubborn superstition or wall
ed in by an unsympathetic, unelastic
rationalism, when he is anywhere that
there is no openness, no wonder, no
teachableness, and no nerve that feels
for pure, unattached truth, he feels like
a Robinson Crusoe.
Often then he is tempted to say with
Amiel, cannot be in the right, all
alone,' and to try to lower himself to
companionship. How much of the ap-
parent unity among men is at the price
of this basest Of treacheries-the be-
trayal and abandonment Of the souls
own vision.
Do not be afraid Of being solitary; it
is then you are most honest. Be loyal
to yourself, and the real Friend will
come.-Dr. Frank Crane.

Getting Even With the suII.-Go'

Getting Even With the Bull.-Gov
Glynn, Of New York, tells story con-
cerning one Casey, hod-carrier, who
during the summer was employed at
country place in Westchester county.
In order to reach the railway station to
take the train home it was necessary
for Casey to cross an extensive field.
One evening there was bull in this
field, and 1t gave Casey a terrible chase.
He sprinted for about half mile and
only escaped by a wonderful leap over
a five-foot fence.
Next evening on his homeward jour-
ney, Casey carried hod with him to
serve as a weapon should he again en-
counter the bull. This time, however,
the bull was absent. Only a playful,
harmless calf was in sight. Approach
ing, 1t the indicative Casey gave 1t
sharp blow with his hod, at the same
time exclaiming excltedly:
Take that, and tell your father Pa
trick Casey done it!"-Lippincott's
Magazine.

A Family Quarrel.

About seven miles from Rogersville
! was overtaken by an ox-cart, in
which were a farmer and his wife, and
as the farmer offered me a lift into
town I gladly climbed UP beside him.
The wife nodded, but did not speak,
and after a few words the husband
had nothing more to say. At the end
of a mile the woman suddenly turned
around and said:
Il say kalikerl"
AN l say whisky and terbacker!"
he gruffly answered.
That was all for another mile. !, OF
course, realized that there was fam
lily jar on hand, but 1t was not for me
to mix in. After we had poked along
for fifteen or twenty minutes the wo-
man turned and snapped out:
II keep sayin' kaliker!"
AN drat yer pictur', I keep sayin
whisky and terbacker!" yelled the hus-
band.
We crossed a creek and toiled up a
long hill, and as the oxen rested for
a moment the woman jumped down
over the wheel and sat on rock.
What's the fussin' now?" demand
ed her husband, as he looked down
upon her.
rs 1t kaliker?" she asked.
"Drat it, MOI" he shouted.
Then I'm gwine home"
Then yo' may be gwine.'
She rose up and moved down the
hill in the direction we had come, and
after watching her awhile the man
turned to me with look Of disgust
ON his face and asked:
"Hain't women Gurus critters!
We've got TO dozen aigs to sell In
town, and we're outer whisky and ter
abcker, and she wants kaliker. She
said kaliker befo' we started, and she's
gwine to stick to kaliker and foot 1t
back home. Land O. live, but them
women-them women! They'd jest see
their luvin' husbands dead befo' they'd
gin up. Gee up, yo' vagabonds, and git
along, and If the ole woman gifts mad
and burns the house up befo' we git
back we'll keep right on fur a place
where husbands hev rights!"-Ex.

Another remarkable poem written
in prison is The Ballad Of Reading
JAIL" by oscar Wilde, whose remark
able and most sombre book, "De Pro-
fundis," was also written there. These
two books are among the saddest rec
ords in the history Of literature.
1t ought not to be forgotten that
one Of the greatest letters ever writ
ten was penned in dungeon in Rome.
This is the Epistle Of St. Paul to the
Collosians, a piece of literature, quite
apart from its sacred character, which
is very hard to beat.
1t is very seldom that a newspaper
has ben edited from the inside Of a
cell, but even this feat was accom-
plished by the late lamented w. T.
Stead, who during the two months he
spent in prison for an offence which
many people condoned and which a
number admired, wrote series Of ar
ticles and practically conducted his
paper-London Tit-Bits.

YOAKUM TAKES GREAT
BEATING FROM WHITE
MiddIeWeight Stands
Up Under Terrific Battering
for Is Long Rounds.

DENVER, Colo, July 15.-Charlie
White, conqueror of Willie Richie has
added another victory to his record,
a knockout win over Stanley Yuakum
of this city, and today he is free to
go on to San Francisco where he
meets Joe Azevedo in a 20 round bat
tie the latter part of this month.
He knocked out the local boy in the
18th round, true this was nine rounds
further than was believed the battle
would go. but in Yoakum he faced
a boy of toughneSS and gameneSs such
as the ring has seldom seen.
There was time some years back
when Joe Grim went about allowing
Bob Fitzsimmons and other heavy
weights of terrific hitting power to
belt away at him without effect

Whites vicious wallops finally moved
down "A lad who had never been
knocked off his feet before.
Yoakum truly was Joe Grim for
punishment. He was battered and
bleeding from the waist line up and
from the twelfth round staggered
helplessly about, yet he would not
quit. White hit him at least two
hundred times before ne put him
away, hit him blows that would have
stopped the ordinary mid6leweight.
After the eighth round il was ap-
parent that YOakum had not the
slightest chance TO win. He stood the
punishment of successive rights and
lefts to the jaw and occasionally a
vicious blow in the region of the kid
neys any of which would have fioored
an ordinary fighter.
A crowd of 10000 persons wit
messed the battle. This meant a
house of at least $4,000. White re-
ceived $4,000. this amount having
been guaranteed him. The fight
throughout was clean. ..

BOTH BOXERS ARE

Smith and Carpenter Are

LONDON. July 15.-Their training
ended. both Georges CarpenCier and
Gunboat Smith, the two white h@ovy-
weights who will clash at The OHM
pia tomorrow night. rested today and
received the homage OF admirins
thousands.
The Metropolitan hotel. where
Carpenter is stopping, was damned
with sightseers who fought and
struggled to get a glimpse OF the
sturdy French fighter. At Harrow.
on the outskirts Of London, Smiths
quarters were crowded.
Although both men issued state
ments teeming with confidence. the
palm was taken by the manager or
Carpenter. Apparently Des Camps
looks upon the contest as a frolic for
his protege.
Georges will win in two rounds"
said the French manager Il don't
see where Smith has a chance. Car
pentier is a hard hitter and a clever
boxer and can take an unlimited
amount Of punishment. The French
people are betting all they have on
Carpenter and they are showing
wisdom"
Depends on Right.
Smith smiled when he heard OF
lies camps statement.

morrow morning, then I'm going in

this Frenchie, never having seen him,
but I bet I'll make him wish he had
never seen me-"
Activity in sporting quarters indi-
Gated that there Is some hedging
among the betters. The Frenchman
is still a slight favorite. but there is
plenty Of Smith money and those
who wish to bet on the French tight
er have no difficulty in getting their
cash covered.
Aggressive Battle.
Smith is going into the ring TO
wage an aggressive battle. Carpen-
tier has been warned that he must
be on his guard constantly TO pre-
vent the American from reaching
him with his deadly right fist
II is apparent that both fighters
