impressionistic and daring and the
literature is so startling as to remind
one of the French. The magazine is
unique and is already popular among
artists and writer's, tho only the third
number has appeared. 1t is gotten up
artistically, and even the subscription
blank is as carefully made and worded
as the verses within. But it is a peri
odical that would never be popular in
Kansas. 1t smacks not of the middle
west and the practical. 1t is Bohemian
and unafraid of the new and untried.
Mrs. Arens. the wife of the publisher.
has been recognized as an artist and
for the last few years the has been
doing some verse writing. She has
recently sold several poems to The
Dial" a well known New York pub
lication.
A typical poem, one by Winthrop
Parkhurst, reads:
As men fatten geese
BY pinning them to boards
And feeding them lavishly, gluttonously,
So that their organs
Overloaded by nourishment
Make mems mouths water one day
With the subtle SAVIOUR
OF pate de foe gras-
So we think do you
q God
Whose mouth waters eternaliy
For the delicate fatness of mems souls
Feed they people viands of beauty
That they
Battened against the walls of life
May die of surfeiting
And when their souls fly up to heaven
They, may lie, on they quivering tongue

the ocean, so blue. so clear, so wide:
which hrircs i'll health and happiness
with every changing tide. It's far
away in a great big state, where peo-
pie go to rest, it's out in California, in
the big broad open west. It's just
half way between two towns, far
famed the wo5ld wide DER, and it's
called Atascadero, blessed with sun
shine, evermore. I'm going out there
one Of these days, to make my life
long home, I've seen enough of this
cid world. all the years I've roamed.
I'll start to build for the coming of my
declining years, and that's the place
to fill it, chock full of glorious cheer.
And so I've found my dream farm,
out there in tho big tall hills. where
I'll live life of peaceful rest, for
