EASTERN POETRY RANKS HIGH
Fine Order of Literature Frequ' roy
Evolved by Writers of the o-is,IA
Says WeIl-Known Author.

Many persons seem to think that the
poetic literature of the East is fitted
to yield only barren crop of verdi.
age, or a tawdry mass of sentimental
extravaganza. 1t often has these char
acteriStics. 1t also possesses all kinds
of wealth, In their most exalted de-
grees, and in their most wonderful
profusion. The poetry Of the unmag-
NATIVE Chinese Is noticeable for eth
lcal good sense-a wholesome vein of
hoinely truth. It's beat is circum-
scribed in the ranges of practical ex-
perience. The muse of China is a
ground sparrow. With the Arabs
their ideas seem to be transmitted in
to sensations. SanScrit and Hindosta-
nee poetry is characterized, in its
most peculiar phases, by an unrlvaled
idealization. Imagination often takes
the reins from judgment and runs riot,
and language breaks into a blossom
ing wilderness of metaphor. But the
richness and originality of the result
are frequently grand and exhllarating.
The most distinctive Persian poetry
exhibits an exquisite delicacy of sense
elsewhere unparalleled, q vast and
ethereal play of fancy and sentiment,
fetterless jubilancy of reason and
faith, the very transcendentalism of

Of the Orient"

Welded on a stump.

1t was in Mariposa county, Cali
fornia, locality noted for trees of
enormous growth. The top of a red
wood stump, smooth and level as the
wOodsman's saw had left it, and over
20 feet in diameter, was the place
chosen for this wedding ceremony.
Decorated with the wonderful wild
flowers of the region and surrounded
by giant trees, no places chosen could
be more beautiful or impressive.
The bride and bridegroom, the min
lister and so guests, assembled few
flights of steps about six feet to the top
of the stump and found seats prOvid-
ed and ample room for all.
After the ceremony seats were re-
moved and dancing took place, the mu-
sicians occupying place on the stump
as well as the dancers.

AUTUMN WILL COME LATER
sion That Man of Eighty-seVen Is
Not Too Old to Marry.

Men everywhere should take heart
at the important decision of the SUI
preme court of New York to the effect
that man of eighty-seven is fit and
proper subject for matrimony, OBJ
serves the Seattle Post-Intelligencer.
An old boy of that age recently mar
ried young woman of eighteen, and
subsequently the thought occurred to
him that he was too old to marry; so
he took the doubt to the court, and
asked for decree of divorce on that
ground, and the judge wouldn't believe
him. "Out upon such pessimisM !" de-
clared the court, in substance, and
forthwith declared and asseverated
that he could not be released from his
marriage bonds on such an ephemeral
plea hence we have the declaration
of the court that a man Of eighty
seven is not inherently, by reason Of
his years, to old to wed; and what
the court says goes in this country.
Thus there Is new rainbow of hope
in the sky for old gentlemen who
might otherwise despair of a happy
home. There are many, no doubt, who
will seize their canes and hobble forth
inspired by the court with a new am
bition to be up and doing, breadwln-
ners for happy homes, and a part of
the great, busy world around them, in
stead of tireside recluses sitting by the
cooling embers of the past.

A mans dependability can be meas
ured by the way he takes accidentals.
The great mass of men can go along
serenely when everything goes ac-
cordlng to custom. But the appearance
Of the accidental throws them out of
balance. The same thing is true of
life. So many fellows lose their
heads when they need them most.
tt ouble in any quarter seems to flash
tina red flag before them. The I'M
usual unnerves them. Turmoil in the
camp becomes contagious and they bolt
when they should be the most steady.
1t takes trials to test the man. Any
one who goes wild with the appear
ance of the accidental can never be
trusted to meet life's real problems.

Doinu.

When you have a thing to do, you
will do it right in proportion to your
love of right. But do the right, and
you win love the right; for by doing
1t you will see it In measure as it Is,
and no one can see the truth as 1t is
without loving it. The more you talk
about what is right, or even about the
doing of it, the more you are in danger
Of exemplifying how loosely theory
may be allied to practice. Talk with
out action saps the very will. Some
thing you have to do is waiting I'M

and more undone. The only refuge Ii

How Do You Meet Emergency

Your treatment of life's accidents Is
a test of your ingenuity. Things that
can be done by rule can be relegated
to the clerk. Things that demand the
exceptional must be handled by the
man who is master Of affairs. When
the accidental comes there is no
time for preparing to meet it. It's an
emergency that demands immediate
action. If the note is not taken truly
1t brings discOrd. When life's notes
out of the usual scale are not prompt
ly and properly met they bring dissat-
isfactiOn and calamity. It's the mark
of the master to be able to make the
usual contribution to the whole Of
life. And best of all the man with
the right spirit enjoys the challenge
the accidental gives in life. 1t not
only affords change but it suggests
stages of development by which he
can estimate growth.

COULD NOT HOLD ARMADlLLo
Writer Admits Understanding the
Strength Of Little Animal He
Was Trying to Capture.

When he was small boy, W. n.
Hudson, the author of Far Away and
Long Ago" came to grief while he
was attempting single-handed to cap
ture an armadillo. One day, he says,
was standing on the mound at the
side of moat, some 40 yards from
where men were at work, when an
armadillo bOlted from his earth and,
running to the very spot where l was,
standing, began vigorously digging to
bury himself in the soil.
Neither men nor dogs had seen him.
and l at once determined to capture
him unaided by anyone. l imagined
that 1t would prove to be very easy
task. Accordingly, laid hold of his
black, bone-cased tail with both hands
and began tugging to get him off the
ground, but could not move him. He
went on digging furiously, and getting
deeper and deeper into the earth, and
l soon found that instead of my pull
ing him out he was pulling me in after
him. 1t hurt my pride to think that
IN animal no larger than a cat was
beating me In trial of strength, and
l held on more tenaciously than ever
and tugged and strained more violent
~, until-not to lose him--I had to 60
down fiat on the ground.
But it was all for nothing. First my
hands and then my aching arms were
carried down into the earth, and l was
forced to release my hold and get up
to rid myself of the mold that he had
been throwing up into my face and all
over my head, neck and shoulders

EPIGRAM is NOT GREELEY'S
Great Editor Long Wrongly Credited
With Advice, go West, Young
Man, Go West"

The famous eplgram go West,
young man, go West" so commonly
attributed to the pen Of Horace Gree
ley, was not written first by that ven
cradle editor of the New York Tri-
bune, but by John L. B. Soule, editor
of the Terre Haute Express. In 1851
Richard Thompson, afterward secre-
tary of the navy, urged Soule to go
west and grow up with the country,
and praised the EDITORS talents as a
writer. He wagered barrel of flour
that Soule could write an article that
ley.
The result of the suggestion was
column editorial about the Vests
opportunities for young men. 1t de-
clared that Horace Greeley could new
er have given young man better adj
vice than contained in the words, GO
West, young man." Although stated
merely as Soule thought Greeley
might have put it, newspapers all
over the country began to credit Gree
ley with the epigram. So widespread
did the quotation become that Gree
ley's paper reprinted the editorial
from the Express, with the following
footnote:
1.-THE expression Of this sentiment
has been attributed to the editor of
the Tribune enormously. But so fully
does he concur in the advice 1t gives
that he indorses most heartily the
epigrammatic advice of the Terre
Haute Express, and joins in saying,
GO West, young man, go Vest >"
