RILEY EASY TO UNDERSTAND
For That Reason There Is a Class
That Refuses to Recognize Him
as a Great Poet.

Widely enjoyed and beloved, the
poetry of James Whitcomb Riley will
probably always in our lifetime en-
counter a species of objections in the
minds of many Americans. His poetry
sings. It's force is emotional. Its
sincere charm is absolute, and de-
ponds not at all on being something
like something else-on the audiences
recollection of Greek verse, or IA
miliarity with Japanese art or i'm
pressionistic landscape. To the kind
of reader for whom recognizable,
musical idea limits, instead of greatly
liberating the communicative faculty
of poetry, to the kind of reader who
thinks of poetry as a species of mere
tight-mouthed and cryptic prose, to
the kind of reader who is worried by
poets who will not give him, so to
speak, any reliable library references
for their inspiration-tO such Ameri-
can readers as these James Whit
comb Riley'S poetry must always
seem all wrong and misguided. Any
one can understand his songs. PeO-
pie have always been cutting them
out of the newspapers and .reciting
them at ice-cream sociables and
church benefits. They are part of
the national consciousness Re-

|APHORISMS OF GREAT MAN
Trite Sayings of Napoleon Have Been
Collected and Classified, and Are
Worth Attention.

Among the Frenchmen who have
contributed to gnomic literature is Ma
pOleon: Adversely is the midwife of
genius" Love is folly committed by
two" ut is Imagination which loses
battles.' "A good philosopher makes
bad citizen 1.-THE man the least
free is the man bound to party" These
and several hundred other of his truths
and half-truths were collected and
classified by Jules Bertaut. They have
been translated by ii. e. Law and G.
L. Rhoades as Napoleon: In His
Own Words" The collection does not
pretend to be complete nor to add any
thing new, but it is sufficient to mirror
the man of action in a striking way.
The aphOrisms, of course, lack con-
sistency and continuity, because Ma
poleOn had no profound moral convic-
tons. He was no philosopher nor a
publiciSt seeking TO mold events by
political reason. He was man of ac-
feet which his words might accomplish

Inns Cost Mors Than the Hat


1t is probable that few men in New
York of the great number who con-
stantly patroniZe hotels restaurants
and theaters have any idea of the sum
of money they spend annually in tips.
The statement of the manager of a
large New York hotel that man Of
his acquaintance found that in five
months he paid IS in tips aor a hat
that had cost him 81 gives some idea
of this drain upon the average mans
income.
so lucrative is the checking privi-
lege in popular restaurants and SINH
lar places that the work is frequently
let out by competitive bidding, without
expense to the proprietor. But the
public pays, as in everything else.
No man objects to tipping a waiter
for good service while at table. but
that a boy or a girl should get a
quarter-and in many places less
sum stamps one "piker"-for the
mere service of hanging up hat and
then handing it back when the check
is presented seems bit too much.
Maybe some day wise manager will
abolish this abuse and see that the
persons who come to his place get
proper Service without the additional
tariff.-New York Telegram.

as it was dignified, though Hardy had
to surmise its meaning from the chiefs
expression. Oinna was already out
side, helping with breakfast. While
she served her grandfather and the
guest, Hardy suggested that she &c
with him to the mine, where they prob
ably would find Marie and the rest OF
the party. Reluctant as was Ti-owa-
konza to part with his half-white
granddaughter, he ordered her pony

he declined the offer of a saddleless
mount, took ceremOniouS leave of the
old chief and set OUT up the mountain
side with the girl and young Indian
guide.
Hardy noted the bearings and dis
tances of all prominent points around
him with the eye of one well trained in
the art of topography. A quarter
hour brought the little party to the
top of the low mountain. Before them
the far side of the mountain pitched
down steep and rocky incline into a
narrow galley. The silent Indian guide
pointed to a terrace midway down the
descent. From amidst the pines was
rising a cloud of blue-black smoke.
Soon Oinna pointed out a cabin
among the pines. They were within
fifty yards of it when Vandervyn an<
Dupont came out of hole in the cliff
end of a spur-ridge near the cabin. and
stood staring at the newcomers in un-
disguised establishment. Hardy
swerved and FASTENED toward them
his eyes bright and cold. The two
men glanced at one another and adj
vanced to meet him halfway.
Dupont was the first to speak: by

we could. The piece found your

Hen Mothers Brood of QuaiIs.

]. l.. Knots, who lives near Tipton.
has a Plymouth Rock hen of such
motherly instincts that she has adopt
ed family of quails when she has
only one chick of her own.
The hen was sold to a huckster last
February and when being taken to
market escaped and took up her abode
in a woods near the Knots home. She
was found again late in the spring, but
was so wild she could not be caught.
Again in June Mr.. Knots was in the
woods, and to his surprise found that
the runaway had one chick and sixteen
young quails. During the summer she
cared for the brood and succeeded in
raising everyone of them. Going to the
woods at night short time ago, Mr..
Knots succeeded in catching the hen
and chick by throwing a blanket over
them, but the quails escaped.
The chick is about twO-thirds grown
and is becoming domesticated. The
quails are old and large enough to care
for themselves and will live in the
woods. but it will be some time before
they will forget the cluck of their fos-
ter mOther.-Indianapolis News.

CHAPTER XII.
Liuht in the Darkness.

Soon Hardy had approached into the
circle of the freight. Some of the
Indians started to aim their weapons
at him. He held up his right hand,
palm forward A deep voice called out
a cultural order. The threatening
bucks drew apart TO right and left and
n naked boy ran forward with a
blazing stick to drive off the dogs.
Hardy calmly advanced to the fire
between the grim and stolid bucks.
There was not one among them who
was not itching TO drive a bullet or
an arrow through his body, and he
knew 1t. Yet he faced them as coolly
and quietly as if they were his own
party.
The bucks looked toward tho far
side of the fire, as if for the signal TO
strike down the audaciouS intruder.
Hardy followed their glances and per-
ceived a blanket-wrapped Indian who
sat in the midst of the volcanic hush
seemingly as placid and immobile as
a Buddha. His face was down-bent,
and so muff1ed in the blanket that
Hardy could not make out the fea-
lures. 1t was, however, easy to di-
vine that the man was the chief of the
band.
Hardy walked around the fire with
his most dignified bearing, sat down
beside the chief and laid his rifle on
the ground between them. He then
folded his arms and waited, his eyes
fixed on the fire in a calm, unwavering
gaze. There followed Il silence of 4
full minutes duration. He knew that
it might end at any mement in an at
tack. His hand gripped the hilt OF his
pistol on his breast under the edge of
his coat. The bucks Stealtnily shifted
their positions until they had COM
pletely surrounded the unwelcome Wis
itor. Hardy sat motionleSS and gave
no sign that he observed them.
At last. when the suspense had be
come almost uncomfortable. the chief
muttered a word TO the nearest buck.
The man glided back toward the larg-
est tepee. The chief pushed the blan-
ket from his head. Hardy slowly
looked aside at him and perceived the
powerful profile of Ti-owa-konza, the
ThunderbOlt. He was to deal with the
| head chief OF the tribe.
There followed another silence. 1t
was broken by the tread of light feet.
and girl appeared beside the chief.
