NEW ENGLAND'S FIRST POET
Long Forgotten, But in Her Time Her
Work Was Most Highly
Thought Of

Of Anne Bradstreet, New Englands
first poet, it is remarked that her
poetry was mot so bad as it might
have been" But it is also remarked
that she was the first to put forth
even these little hard green buds of
rhyme in that region of the new
world which was afterward to be a
center of poetic glory for so many
years. She was furthermore the first
woman to enter the ranks of Ameri-
can authorship. The chivalry of the
times is perhaps limited in the gener-
GUS estimate which pronounced these
firstlings of New England as "the
tenth muse" She was the wife of
Simon Bradstreet, governor of the
colony. One Of her books was re-
printed in London under the title,
"The Tenth Muse, Lately Sprung Up
in America" And a Boston admirer
John Norton, pastor of First Church,
said that if Virgil could have read
the seraphic poems of Anne Brad
street he would have thrown his
heather doggerel into the fire. Her
father was the grim verse maker,
Thomas Dudley, who was associated
with Winthrop as deputy governor
of the Puritan exodus of Massachu-
setts.-The Monitor.

Investigate Tree San.

Recent researches on the freezing
points of the sap of plants made by
experimenters in Trinity college,
Dublin, may result in better extracts
of herbs and plant organs in phar-
macy and the arts. To press sap from
the living untreated organ, even when
the cells of the tissues are completely
crushed, does not result in SO con-,
centrated solution as when the It's

OF The PAST DEAD
BY GERTRUDE MARY SHERIDAN.

BY GERTRUDE MARY SHERIDAN
Happy the bride whom the sun
shines on!' >" quoted Mrs. Page, village
busybody.

girl the clouds can't scare when they
come" added her practical husband.
Il envy young Erwin Dodge his good
and cheerful better half"
Il hope he appreciates her. hope,

Clara won him away from it, and

This, and in other way, all Cedar
vile discussed the wedding that made
Clara Mercer and Erwin Dodge man
and wife. AS to the principal con-
tracing parties, all was sunshine and
roses. They had perfect faith one in
the other. Their honeymoon passed
without a jar. They came back to
their home town at the end Of two
weeks, buoyant, hopeful and happy
1t was arranged that they should re-
main at the Mercer home until lit
tie cottage they had rented could be
redecorated and painted. These were
cloudless days. Clara was always
waiting for her husband at the door
when he returned from work Erwin
was always straining his glance to
catch first view of her charming
face as he came down the street
One evening as Clara went out upon
the porch, she drew back a little
startled as stranger came up the
steps. His careless attire, the faint
of liquor on his breath, the leering
expression of his bad, bold eyes re-

end"
She heard her husband come in and
hasten up the stairs. She awaited his
appearance in the parlor for nearly
half an hour, but he did not come.
Then Clara went tremblingly, fear
somely up the stairs.
Clara opened the door softly. Her
husband sat at table. He was abb
sorbed in reading letter. Beside
him there were half a dozen other
letters. His face was drawn and pale.
May l come in, dear?" she asked
gently.
Erwin Dodge sprang to his feet
quickly. He included the letter in his
hand and those upon the table in
quick grasp, sliding the mass into his
pocket. Then, smiling with tender
gesture, he drew her to his knee.
Looking over some papers" he said
casually, affecting calmness with
mighty and futile effort why, my
darling! what is the matter?"
Clara could not restrain from break
ing down. A barrier seemed rising
between them. Her faith, her patience
gave way
ooh, Erwin" she sobbed, in the
midst of a wild uncomfortable storm
of tears, "let me share your trouble.
1t is about that man who came here
tonight is about those letters you
were readingl Let me see them, let
there be no secret between US two,
who must love one another always, al
ways, just as dearly as now!"
He placed her gently in a chair fac

"My dear" he said, there is no
trouble. 1t ends with the destruction
of those few letters Do not ask to
see them. They are dead issue and
there is nothing to fear and nothing
to worry over"
"Oh, Erwin, please tell me ALL

share it with you!"

sighed deeply. He met her glance
With one of infinite love and trust.

impulsively:

"Ah, good" smirked the unwelcome
