The title of the poem F. G. P. wants Is The Spirit of 1776, and Is not of the early COS, as you surmise. l don't re- when I was graduated from grammar school, 1ol these IS years ago. But, with the title known, I'm sure the correspond ent ca mind the poem at the public li- brary:
 ' Out of the north the wild news came, Far flashing on its wings of flame. Swift as the boreal light which flies At midnight through the startled skies, And there was tumult in the air The fife's shrill note, the drums loud
 beat.
 And through the wild land everywhere The rustling tread of hurrying feet

MISS CHARGE WHITE

.selene Armstrong Harmon, who for inerly lived In Atlanta, and who has a sreat number of friends in Birmingham, .s conducting clever Scriea of articles which she calls ""onnan Worth While in some of the northern papers. The Gin cinnati Enqulrers readers noted yester- day her story of Carolyn Wells, who is best known and perhaps best liked oi all the women writers of frivolity. Mrs. Harmon says that:
 Any woman can laugh, and always does when a joke is told uer, whether she sees the point or not. But few women precious few at that-have an inherent bred -in-tne-bone, dyed-in-the-wool sense of huinor. Carolyn Wells has. Sine is rot funny, because she receives fat checks from magazine editors. book pub fishers and dramatic managers for being funny. She is funny because she can't helD it.
 Was born that way she answers la conica':y, with twinkle of the eye and you ask if she merely puts on all this humor because she has established T epu- tarion for it, or if It IS really pat If hsrslf Then she iauach $ forth upon Il iirade of delicious nonssnse ", rds fall from her lips in a perfect torrent of fun absurdity until the poo. interviewer, fear ing to choke to death in a laughing fit, pleads with her to ,alk sense.
