few poems to read first, and if you
find one that you like, read it again.
Perhaps you will be quite familiar
with some, if not most in this list;
but if there are some that you do not
know, but that attract, you on read
ing once, study those until you have
made real beginning toward the
culture that comes from systematic
study of poetry: "A Psalm of Life"
"The Reaper and the Flowers"
Footsteps of Angels" Flowers"
"The Wreck of the Hesperus,"
"Maidenhood," "The Rainy Day."
"The Bridge" "Curfew," "The
Builders" "The Old Clock on the
Stairs" Beware, "My Lost Youth"
"The Day is Done" "Paul Reviere's
Ride" (Tales of a Wayside Inn),
"The Children's Hour" "The Ar
senal at Springfield" These are not
all the good poems, and some of these
are not even the best; but they are
good list to choose from. Besides
these, you would like to read "Hia-
watha" first, then "The Courtship of
Miles Standish," and finally Evan
geline;" but these longer poems are
tales rather than poems, and one does
not care to turn to them as to the
shorter gems.
.Longfellow IS "humbler poet"
as he himself has expressed it, but he
is none the less a poet; and in all
literature you will not find a simpler
poet, nor one easier to read and like.
Next to Longfellow, perhaps the
most generally liked modern poet is
Tennyson. And here we have poet
of peculiarly and distinctive moods.
1t will take much more time to
learn to like Tennyson than it re-
quired for Longfellow, for Tennyson
is so various, and we must come at
him in so many different ways. We
may begin with such pretty rhythms
as "Airy, Fairy Lillian" and "Clari
bell" how much better than these
shall we find "The Lady of Shallott,"
Break, Break, Break" and all the
songs in "Thc Princess" "The May
Queen" is a pretty and fascinating
simple story that may touch us more
deeply than we would own. Particu-
larly to our mood we find in "Lockley
Hail." following it with "Lockley
Hall Twenty Years After" which
we may not like so we'll: Some will
like to puzzle over the philosophy of
"The Two Voices" others of the
pretty story of "The Miller's Daugh-
ter" or "The Talking OAK" or the
poetic "Zlysses" and Lotus Eaters"
while others will wish to pass to
MAUD" with its varied rhythms.
Others more short are his "The
Flower in the Grained Wall" and
Crossing the Bar" or such stirring
war poem as Charge of the Light
Brigade"
And now let us turn to one of the
great poets-to Browning. Most of
us will be entirely unable to read the
greater part of his poetry at all, and
whether it is good or bad we leave it
to the critics to say. We measure his

THE reading and enjoyment of
poetry may be said to be a fine
art. Certainly no one is likely

poetry may be said to be flne
- art. Certainly no one is likely
to have taste for poetry who does
not cultivate it. Yet nothing is so
characteristic of the person of culture,
and nothing is so likely to produce
true culture, as the reading and study
of the best poetry.
1t is probably fact that of all the
volumes of poetry in the world, not
one in hundred is read. 1t would
be almost impossible to read through
from beginning to end the complete
works of any we'll known poet, and
nothing could be more foolish than
the attempt to do so. Yet the aver
age owner of a volume of poetry can
not think of anything else to do with
it except let it alone, and generally
chooses the latter alternative.
A poem is not like a story. One
reads a story, enjoys it, and lays it
aside. Few would care to read even
the best novel more than once, or at
most two or three times at widely
separated intervals. A poem, on the
other hand, cannot be understood or
truly enjoyed even by the most culti-
waited until it has been read several
times. In fact one reads poem for
quite different purpose from that
which leads one to read a story. A
poem is more like piece of music;
one reads it when one wishes to be
put into the mood which the poem
or the music is intended to produce.
The favorite mood produces happi-
ness, and when we wish that kind of
happiness we turn to the work of art
which is able to produce it in us.
Now evidently it is not every poet
whose moods are like our own. 1t is
true that we may wish to cultivate
moods not natural to us; but there is
a distinct limit even to these. 1t fol-
lows, therefore, that there are not
many poets we will wish to study, or
even to read more than once; and
there are but few poems even of the
poets we like which will have that
perfect effect on us which will make
us wish to repeat it often.
If one asked to suggest the surest
way to acquire liking for poetry and
a knowledge of it, the following
would probably be the method sug-
gested:
First, find one good poem that one
could really like and read more than
once with pleasure. There are few
of us who could not name such a
poem at once; but many of us 60 no
farther.
Having chosen the first poem, one
has thereby made choice of the first
poet, poet whose moods are in ac-
cord with ones own and whom one is
likely to be able to learn to like. I'm
less we can start with a liking, and
proceed to another liking, we are not
likely to 60 very far.
While one likes a poet rather than
poems, when ones taste is fully
trained, the most successful readers
of poetry know poet by relatively
few poems. One can not read many
poems many times, and as we can not
appreciate any poetry fully that we
do not read many times, we must
make selection. Indeed we shall
find that there are but few poems of

greatness by the intensity of the lik-
ing we have for what we do like. If
we come to love Browning, it will be
because he was himself lover, and
we shall admire him because he was
a fighter against the discouragements
and littlenesses. of the world.
Let us begin with his love poems
such a simple poem as "A Women's
Last Word" We shall not under
stand all of it; but no matter we shall
like it none the less on that account,
and we shall like it better the more
we read it. Then let us read 'Love
Among the Ruins" We shall not un-
derstand all of that, but we will
never get tired of reading it over.
And then let us read such poems as
"The Last Ride Together" "Any
Wife to Any Husband" "In Year,"
1.-TWO in the Campagna," and
Evelyn Hope" And such as "In a
Gondola" and "The Statue and the
Bust" But the important thing is to
learn to love, and to reread, two or
three.
Now let us turn to that other side
of Browning, his philosophy as
fighter and a struggler in the world.
Poems that will sooth the weary
moods, as rabbi Ben Ezra," we may
never master it, so much the better;
then we shall 60 on rereading it. We
shall then read "Saul," Andrea del
Sarto," " "Prospieee" and "A Gram
marian's Funeral" There are other
poems-yes, good many of them;
but if you once come to love two or
three, so that you like to turn to them,
and find comfort in reading them,
you will find others for yourself.
We have perhaps said enough os4to
the manner of studying poetry, illus
trating by the three poets we have
considered. The reader will now be
able to take up the following for him
self.
If you like Longfellow, read some
of the best poems of the other New
England poets-Whittier's Barefoot
Boy" Barbara Frietchie," MAUD
Muller" and "Snow Bound"
Holiness "The Last Leaf" and "Old
Ironsides:" Lowell's "Vision of Sir
Lannfal;" and Bryant's "Thanatop-
sis" "The Death of the Flowers"
Some may trace likeness between
the three great poems of Poe, The
Raven" "Annabel Lee" and "The
Bells" From the lyric poems of
Tennyson, turn to Shelley's "The
Skylark" Zone of the most beautiful
poems in our language), and his "The
Cloud" and "Ode to the West
Wind" and after picking up such
little gems as Loves Philosophy"
we may like "Alastor" and "The
Sensitives Plant" Then turn to
Byron's "Don Juan" it will be better
to read the striking passages-at least
at first.
No one should fail to read Keats
"Ode to a Grecian Urn," "Ode to
Autumn" and "Endymion." 1t takes
fine poetic taste to appreciate Keats,
for he is a poet "of all beauty" Then
we may turn to Wordsworth, the
greatest poet of the nineteenth CEN
fury, next to Browning. His great
est, simply called Lines Written
Above Tintern Abby" and "Ode on
Intimations of Immor- (Poss 5, COL -

HOW AND WHAT TO READ
Chapter V: The Best Poetry and How to Read it
By Mr.. H. p.

any poet that produce in us the de-
sired mood. For us, all the other
poems are more or less failures, at
least more or less imperfect. So the
first principle in the successful read
ing of poetry is to select most rigidly.
While the special student of poetry
may read the entire work of a poet,
weigh each poem, and select judicious-
ly those which he will reread and
finally make a part of his inner circle
of friends, the general reader must
depend upon the selection of some one
else to some extent, or at least he will
read first those recommended to him,
afterward dipping casually into others
in the hope that he will find one he
will wish to study more carefully.
Such selection, and one of the best
ever made, is Matthew Arnold's selec-
ton from the poems of Wordsworth.
But even Matthew Arnold does not
tell you what poem of Wordsworth's
to begin with.
Another admirable selection of the
"best poems" is Palgrave's Golden
Treasury" Yet even in that most
lovers of poetry will miss many that
have been excluded because they are
not lyric, or because they are too long,
or for some reason which is not an
essential one with the reader. Other
selections of poems have not been so
fortunate, and when one can have a
tolerably complete edition of a poet
in his library, he will wish to make
his own choice with the aid of such
adviser as he may select.
One of the easiest poets to begin
with is Longfellow. Have you ever
read the Psalm of Life. Read it
again, and yet again. Longfellow
very aptly describes himself as a poet
in that beautiful song of his "The
Day is Done"
Come, read to me some poem
Some simple and heartfelt lay,
That shall sooth that restless feeling
And Danish the thoughts of day.
Not from the grand old masters,
Not from the bards sublime,
Whose distant footsteps echo
Through the corridors of Time.
For, like strains of martial music,
Their mighty thoughts suggest
Life's endless toll and endeavor;
And tonight long for rest.
Read from some humber poet,
Whose songs gushed from his heart,
As rain from the clouds of summer,
Or tears from the eyelids start
Though, through long days of labor,
And nights devoid of ease,
Still heard in his soul the music
Of wonderful melodies.
Such songs have power to quiet
The restless pulse of care,
And come like the benediction
That follows after prayer.
Then read from the treasured volume
The poem of thy choice,
And lend to the rhyme of the poet
The beauty of thy voice.
And the night shall be filled with music,
And the cares that infest the day
Shall fold their tents like the Arabs,
And as silently steal away.
Turning over the leaves of your
volume of Longfellow, mark these

 "Cf course, this amounts to polio ing practically the whole of the coun- try. Those who know Mexico and the Mexican people understand fully that such action would mean war between the two countries.
 "The report of Senator Falls com mittee, therefore is report which recommends a course leading direct to war with Mexico. This has long been desired by American interests engaged in the exploration of the na- al wealth of Mexico.
 Adoption by the senate of this re- port would constitute the adoption of foreign policy completely at va riance with the established policy and traditions of our republic. Such a course as is recommended by the report of Senator Falls committee must be opposed by every justice and freedom loving American and will be, yond question be deservedly condemn cd by the working people of our country and the great masses of our people generally.
 Tt is difficult to believe that the senate will give serious consideration to a report so out of harmony with the best thought of our time, and so full of the possibilities of dire conse- duence to our people and our nation as well as to a neighbor republic, with which we are at peace.

(CONT1NUED FhSAr "A SIE ONE) threatened with the loss of all votes from that state Out of mesh of legal technicalities. the committee came to, the conclusion Chat in a strict legal sense neither the dele- gates at large of the so called Gerow faction, headed by National Commit teeman Bean, which are counted in the Wood column, nor the delegates at large headed by H. L. Anderson of Jacksonville, which are counted for Senator Johnson, ought to be seated. It was confronted, however. with practically abolishing the Republican party in Florida, if it declined to seat anybody.
 National Committeeman Street of Alabama led the fight for seating the whole Gerow faction and Commit teeman Work of Colorado. fathered a move to seat neither. MT Warren, of Michigan, however, presented the compromise by which both sets of delegates at large of the Gerow and Anderson factions were ordered seat ed with a half vote each The con test against the four Gerow district delegates collapsed at the last mo- ment and they were ordered seated. The result gave National Committee man Bean six votes out of eight in the state delegation and seemed to f f.acast his reelection to the na- '.o1ai committee.
 The North Carolina contest, which was straight out-and-out black and white issue, resulted in the seating Of the white delegation led by John M. Morehead of Charlottee, North Carolina, national committeeman. In the contest from the sixth district of Tennessee one delegate counted in the Wood column was seated. In the second Oklahoma district two regularly reported delegates, unin- structed, were seated and the contest was dismissed The contest in the fifth Oklahoma district involved the organization of National Committee man McCraw. His delegation pre- vailed and four were seated with ! half vote each A similar contest from the fourth Oklahoma district was referred to a subcommittee.
 The days work disposed of thirty votes and still left 75 in contest. In all. 62 convention seats out of 137 contested had been decided, but the remaining contests promise to con 'sume less time and may be finished up by Saturday.
