Did Wordsworth Haunt His Home?

Writing in Harpers Magazine for curiously interesting story of a visit in recent years with her daughter to the homo of Wordsworth. What happened on that visit is told as siv- en and set down at the time,
 ~I found myself. in Septem Der, 1911. the tenant of q ren ovated and rebuilt Rydal Mount for few au- jnn1n wr-2lls. The house was occu- pied then, and is still occupied, by Wordsworth granddaughter and her husband MT. and Mrs, Fisher Wordsworth. My eldest daughter was with me, and q strange thing hap pened to US l arrived at the Mount before my husband and daughter She joined me there on September IS. remember how eagerly l showed her the many WOrdsworthtana in the house, collected by the pietv of it's mistrcss--the Hayden portrait on the stairs and the books in the small, low -ceiled room to the right of the hall which is still just as it was in Wordsworth's day; the garden, too, and the poet walk. All my own early recoliectjons were alive; we c1attered ioug and late. And now let the account of what happened af- terwards be given in my daughters words as ske wrote it down the fol- lowing morning.
 '' 'Ry-(iaI Mount,
 " September 14, 1911. Last night, my first at Rydal Mount I slept in the corner room. over the small sitting-room. l had drawn Ilp the blind about halfway up inc window before going to bed, and had drawn the curtain aside. over the back of a, wooden ar1n-chalr that stood against the window.

 was of bright moonlight but then
 1 became strongly conscious of the
 l moonlight striking on something, and l I saw perfectly clearly the f'SNre Of
 an old man sitting in the arm-chalr 1 by the window I said to myself

of the chair leaning back, his head rather bent and he seemed to be looking down, straight in front of him with rapt expression. He was not looking at me- nor out of the window. The moonlight lit up the top of his head and the silvery hair and l roticed that the hair was very thin. The whole impression was of something solemn and beautiful and ] WAS not fr the very least frightened. As l looke0-I cannot say, when L looked again, for I have no recol1ec- ton of ceasirg to look. or looking a"4y-thC figure disappeared, and I became aware of the empty chair-I lay back again, and thought for a mo- ment in a pleased and contented "ay--'fhat was Wordsworth And almost Immediately ] must have fallen asleep again.

By Joe Blast


 For eight years Terrence Cru,ler had struggled to make his living as a poet without selling 8, single poem, He tried everything. He let his hair grow long and wore flowing ties and put drops in his eyes to make them soulful, but nothing seemed to help.
 On Tuesday he saw the fol- lowing advertisement in the Morning Snooze: ''How to be- come 8, poet. Tnfa1Iible. Send one dollar to Peterkin Sab bath
 Terrence Crul1er pawned his extra pair of trousers and sent the dollar to Peterkin Sab bath. The following Friday he received a postal card with this advice: "Prac ctiCe writing on your cuffs. All the great poets did
 After that he wrote all his poems on his cuffs before transcribing them on paper. For q while nothing happened, and he began to wish passion atn1v that he had his dollar back. Then one day his wash erwoman, a tall bony woman with very few teoth, came to him.
 I'm yourS.' she simpered. "Whose?" said Terrence Crui- Ter blankiy,
 Now don't you try to get out of it!'' she cried. "You wrote me hundred love pomes on your cuffs, you know Eou did. I resisted 'em at first, but thoy got beautifu1ler and ooautiful'et, and now I'm gours.''
 CrUllcr politely, best firmly showed her out. and the next week be was called to appear in 8 breach of promise suit. All the neWSra pers wrote col unns about it, ana Terrence Crulier's nam" was printed from one end Of the country to tro other. All the magazine editors came to see him per sona1ly. offering him fabulous rates for poems, and in month he was a, rich man and an established poet.
 Out of gratitude he sent a fountain pen, richly 1ntald with German silver to Peter kin Sabbath, and married the washelWoman.

KING GEORGE SENDS
GREETINGS TO WILSON
Praises Bravery and Gallant Deeds
of the Americans.

London, April 6.-King George
has sent greetings to President VIII
son on occasion Of the anniversary
OF the entry OF the United States
into the war.
King Georges telegram follows:
con the occasion OF the anniyer-
sary of the momentous decision Of
the United States to ente1 into this
war for the safeguarding Of interna-
tional right and justice, ! desire to
convey to you, Mr.. President, and
through you to the American peo-
pie, the friendly greetings OF the en-
tire British nation.
AT this critical hour, when our
enemies are Sparing no sacrifice and
arc counting no cost to achieve vic
tory the French and British troops
stand united as never before in their
heroic resistance to these endeay-
ors. They are buoyed up with the
thought that the great democracy OF
the West, in the same spirit and
with the same objects as their own,
is putting forth every effort to throw
its supreme force into the struggle,
which will once for all decide the
destinies Of the free nations OF the
earth.
The gallant deeds of Americans
on land and sea have already indi-
Gated to the enemy that his hope is
vain. Every day that passes as
American troops pour in eyer-in-
creaSing numbers into France di-
the chances of his success.
The American people may rest
assured that the British empire, now
tried by nearly four years of war,
will cheerfully make yet further sui
fcring. The thought that the Unit
ed States under your leadership is
with us heart and soul emboldens Us

Cuba Is Celebrating
First Year In the War

Havana, Cuba, Apri! 6.-On the
eve of the first anniversary of Cuba
declaration of war against Germany
Havana presents today festive ap-
pearance and, as Sunday is day OF
celebration in all Latin-American
countries, extensive preparations
have been made for a demonstration
OF loyalty to the entente allies to-
morrow.
Since Cuba's w2r declaration,
many activities, some military and
naval, others economic, have been
put in motion here o aid the United
States. From the time when the
German and Austrian steamships
seized in Cuban waters were turned
over outright as a gift to the United
States shipping board, until the
present, when Cuba is mobilizing
her military resources to send a
force Of from 10000 to 10000 men
TO France, the whole policy of the
Tepublic has been to subordinate
other matters to those obligations
OF alliance which her declaration of
war entailed, The Cuban army and
navy have been reorganized, and ex-
perts from the United States army
staff have estimated that Cuba's mil
itary fNce could be enlarged to a
maximum of 100000 men and main
tanned at that figure indefinitely.
The Cuban navy ha, assumed pa
trol duty not only m Cuban terri
torlal waters, but also far out in the
Caribbean, and it ha> been augment

ton. In addition t. these military
and naval measures. many young
Cubans are now in the French bat
tie lines as infantrymcr and avia-
tors. AS instructors for the Cuban
Escradille, which is intending to sail
shortly for the FrcacL front, the
allies detailed two Of their leading
airmen to Havana and that both
these flyers were naticye Cubans.
Economically Cuba service has
been conspicuous. Cuba's crop OF
sugar this year totals 100000 long
tons, which is said to be the greatest
sugar crop ever raised by one coun-
try in the worlds history. The en-
tire crop has been turned over to
agencies of the United States food
administration and i, being market
ed at figure which, while it brings
diminished profit to its patriotic
producers, at the same time has
tended to safeguard the world from
prohtcering and eNtoltion in this
essential food commodity.
Besides this, Cuba is developing
her agricultural resources in other
lines to a great degree; so it is
hoped that the necessity for insist
ing this year on the usual importa-
tions OF foodstulfs irom the United
States will be diminished in the
months to come.

Madame Mariana Seya de Mencal.
wife OF President Mcnocal, has
raised $l,0OO000 for its work, and is
now equipping a hospital unit ex-
