POPULARITY OF BLUE GRASS
kentucky Soldiers, on Return March
From Battle Of Tippeeanoe, Gath
cred Seed in Indiana.

The tradition that the Kentucky sol
diers who fought at Tippecanoe took
back with them the seed that has made
blue grass famous in central Ken
lucky. has never been questioned or
seemed to require authentic proof, de-
clarcs a writer. Mrs. lowering says,
in her Authentic Indiana:"
at was on the return march from
the battle of Tippecanoe that the sol
dlers from Kentucky gathered the seed
of the blue grass which they found
growing in Indiana, and carried 1t
home with them, thinking It was SUI

hunger of their horses so well that
they would not eat corn. II flOurishcd

Kentucky that II made that state IA

information obtained from early set
tiers of Indiana. Kentucky was not
known as the blue grass state until
many years after the battle of Tippe-
canoe.
AS long as slavery existed, Ken

never was classed as a central West

Michigan and Wisconsin were classed

Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama and
Mississippi as East South Central

DIFFERING IDEAS OF GENIUS
World Has Never Thoroughly Reeoa

Carlyle was much laughed at fol
saying that genius was an infinite ca
pacity for taking pains. That does
not sound like genius; one imaginei
genius as ravelng its hair. whatever
ravcling may be, and producing the i'm
mortal Word To the accompaniment of
cpilcptic fits; absinthe also goes with
genius very well. But in reality genius
! suspect. is tanner affair and arises
easily enough in men like Rembrandt,
who painted pictures because he liked
doing IL and because the sitters paid
him for their portraits. Much more
satisfactorily TO Carlyle it arises in
men like Flaubert, who revealed much
of his attitude in one phrase of his cor
reSpondence. To-day | have worked
sixteen hours and have at last finished
my page" Therein lies the difference
between Flaubert and De Maupassant;
1t may be, too, that Boileau was right
in advising the poet a hundred times
to replace his work upon the bench,
endlessly polish it and polish It again,
but many instances of almost sponta.

enough to quote that in six years. be.
tween 1902 and 1908. Shakespeare APP

among them Julius Caesar" "Ham-

Lear"
What shall we say. then, of the
vague thing, genius. which is to man.
kind what the thing we call soul is to
man? For my part, | believe it to be
volcanic rather than sedimentary. 1t
is as if the spirit of the race accumu-

claiming TO be born. Genius will out,
but it is most frequent in certain Pc
RODS of human history. such as the
or Medicean, in certain
places, such as France. Italy and the
low countries. under certain influences.
such as oppression, war, revolution or
social decay.
That is an interesting catalogue. and. Z
If history repeats itself. the future for
genius, as evidenced particularly in
art, would be black, for there Lave been
few periods where comfort, ease and
security bred genius. 1t is as if me
