An anarchist is the enemy of all forms OF

the conviction OF Emma Goldman and A,e,

this country have hunted cover No donht
they have carried on their plotting, but so
secretly that the agents OF the law have
failed to connect them with inccndiarism
which has been rife throughout the country
The recent conviction Of 100 l. w. ". lead

to come out of hiding. Their new form n,
propaganda voices itself in an appeal TO the

And every son-of-a-gun Of a Hun
Would hear the gladstone tune!

And when the smell OF food
And sound OF dinner bells had reached

With chicken nice and tender.

The hungry Huns surrender!

imagination and led to the writing Of
Robinson Crusoe.
Captain Rogers book, In which the
adventures of Selkirk were told. was
also the inspiration, or rather the text,
of Cowper's poem, which is generally
called solitude" but which the poet,
In what was fashion in the eighteenth
century, called Verses Supposed to BE
Written by Alexander Selkirk During
His Solitary Abode In the Island OF
Juan Fernandez"
A literary man who took up the con-
nection between Selllirk's adventure
and Defoe's story of Robinson Crusoe
has written this.
| "There was more than enough of q
| nudge for Defoe, for Cowper, for
/ scores of others. But Defoe never got
his hero, Robinson Crusoe, round the
| Horn or into the Pacific at all; he
started him from England, shipwreck-
ed him in Africa, sent him as planter
to the Brazils'--as he always plura-
Lies the name-and finally blew him
north, shipwrecked again on an island
which Defoe carefully labeled on the
title page Of the first edition as being
at the mouth of the mighty Oripoco,
continent and parts of two oceans
removed from Juan Fernandez"
The Island of Tabago in the Carib-
bean archipelago was mentioned by
one writer as the island of Crusoe, but
Tabago, north of the Trinidad, is too
| far from the mouth of Orinoco to
agree with what Crusoe says Of the
location of his island. Louis Rhead
| In preface to one edition of Robin
son Crusoe, wrote: "a map has been
prepared to show the real location
which Is at the mouth of the Orinoco,
thirty miles northwest of Trinidad, an
island lying just In the Caribbean
archipelago The island is now known
as Tabago."
A good many distinguished writer's
have mistaken the Island of Juan Fer
nandez for the island of Robinson Cru
soc, and among them was X. II. Dana,
jr., who in his 1.-TWO Years Before the
Mast" wrote that he saw the Island
of Juan Fernandez ''rising like deep
blue cloud out of the sea" when his
brig, the Pilgrim, was seventy miles
away. After the briggs stop at the
island Mr.. Dana wrote: 81 gave 1t a
parting look and bid farewell to the
most romantic spot of earth my eyes
had ever seen because of the associ-
ations which every one has connected
with 1t In their childhood from reading
| Robinson Crusoe."
