" Ogy makes or mars the poets
Christmas season. Now may our bards
be seen tearing their frenzied hair or
burblins .loyfulIy as they read, and the
keepers of the. book shops are losing
sleep. The Anthology of Magazine Verse
is an old story for nearly all Of US, but
for the sake Of The uninitiated VIC would
say that it is the yearly habit of one Will
IAN Stanley Br:rithwaIte of Boston to
compile an anthology of the best verse
published in American magazines, and 10
append :. supposIitious index of all poems
published in these magazines whether in
cluded in the anthology or not. In add
ton there will be found ut the back OF
the volume, which IN the rush Of poetic
events has almost outgrown the front,
list of the years articles and reviews on
poetry, review by the compiler of I'M
portant books of verse, and last of all a
biographical index Of the poets repre-
sented in the collection.
IL will be seen at glance that the task
is fur from light, and numerous flaws arc
more or less expected. A considerable
amount of weight is attached 10 thus yearly
endeavor Of Mr.. Braithwaite's partly be-
cause he is Il recognized critic and good
one, and partly because it is the only
&C - hat haua
Braithwaitc says that he las been com
PEELED to omit some fine poems Of greater
length from this years anthology for the
sake of emphasizing more fifty the lyrical
quality of current American verse. Know
ing him us well us We do, we are convinced
that pressure to such an end has not been
from without, and SO we understand that
for the sake oil his personal desire to
stress a certain point he has allowed good
work 10 give place 20 mediocre in many
eases.
On the whole We should think that the
result of Mr.. Braihwaitc's critical acumcn
and the diligence and scope of hts re-
search would be a much better anthology

beyond belief and gives his list of poems
published during the year with omissions
so numerous and notable as to satisfy his
harshcst critic with the same assurance
that he shows in Offering valuable piece
Of literary information. He says a dis
puied thing in such solemn way that it
Is easy TO mistake 1t for fact, and he at
tempts in all seriousness to grade by
means of asterisks The excellence of what
he considers the finest work of our finest

PETERSBURG EDITOR TEARS
 INTO GossIPs OF THE CITY

Worse than the evils of strong drink are the evils of gossip. Strong drink causes the downall of men and women who are too weak to withstand it's ravages, but gossip causse the downfall of innocent men and women, men and women who are the heads of families and who are living upright, honorable lives.
 Gossip causes those who have been friends to part.
 Gossip has blasted the name of more honest, upright and virtuous women than all the drink in the world. Like unto the serpent's tooth is the| sneering word spoken behind the| back.
 There is an old saying that Truth crushed to earth shall rise again. but Truth can never overtake the evils which have caused it's downfall. The evil word or thought spoken in gossip travels as the lightning while the true facts as the snail. Gossip has caused more hard feel ings in Petersburg than all the sa- looms that ever existed here. Gossip has driven honorable men and women who would have made good citizens but who have left rather than endure 4l ofh hni fhn to ~ l.. icious tongues.
 Gossip is the offspring of idleness. If all the women and men were kept busy attending to their own affairs they would be too busy to spread talk about others or mind the affairs of others. Many a fair name and repu- tation is forever blasted by some un- thinking woman who has nothing bet teer to occupy her time than to talk about the affairs of her neighbors.
 Petersburg is gaining an unenviable reputation for this evil; unless it is stopped soon great evils will result. Three women meet:
 Mrs. So and So left for the south ona certain boat" says one.
 "Yes, and such and such man went on the same boat" says another.
 "Why, they went together and are not coming back" says the third, and the gossip has started. Within a day the reputation of the absent woman is blasted, although she may have been good wife and her trip may have been from entirely innocent causes.
 Gossip never investigates, never looks for facts, never recognizes the truth, but is like a vampire, sucking it's life blood from the filthy thoughts of it's authors and those who listen to it.
 I Filth is the life of gossip and II thoughts are clean gossip can not live. Petersburg Report.
