4OEIh1 AND l)ltEAAS
 By r. c. Prescott The Four Seas
 Company. publishers, Boston
 A charming book from the pen of P. C. Prescott which bears the interest ing title of Poetry and Dreams" is a recent contribution to literary circles and is delightful in It's contents.
 Quoting from Poetry and Dreams." We find the author. at the beginning, saying the following:
 Poetry is proverbially difficult to define and explain. The reason for this difficulty seems to be partly in the subject itself and partly in our attitude toward it. The subject is in- deed deep and complex, The produce ton of poetry is still. as it has always been. a mysterious process. even to the poets Themselves. while even the most devoted and enlightened readers of poetry still find mystery in it's ac- ton and effect. Poetry. as Shelley be- lieved. "acts in a divine and unappre- liended manner, beyond and above con- sciousness," Many poets-for example Shelley and Wordsworth--in defining. poetry resort to poetical figures; otE<rs, like our poet of democracy, avoid definition scrupulousiv. Let mo not dare.H says Walt Whitman, ito attempt a definition of poetry nor answer the question what it is Like religion, love. hature. while these terms are indispensable. and we all give sufficiently accurate meaning to them, in my opinion no definition that has ever been made sufficiently in- closes the name poetry Perhaps, how ever, mystery in the subject engendera superstition, and leacs us to regard poetry with supine reverence and won dey. We should indeed worship our great poets, as the men of old did their bards and prophets: but not abjectly as sayages do their medicine men. We speak of the divine" Shakespeare perhaps knowing too little of this poets life to recognize how much he shared our common humanity. We call poetry divine. which is another way of saying that 1t is still inexplicable to us. All things are of God: and in the subject of poetry as in others, our increasing knowledge should lead us to clearer understanding. We need make no apology thtn, for attempting to approach this mystery
 There is some resemblance and un- explained relation between poetry and dreams. The poet and the dreamer are somehow alike in their faculty of vision. This relation is indicated by the uses of language, which. spontane- ously expressing the sense of mankind often reveal psychological truth not

otherwise readily discovered. The poets have traditionuffv been dream CTS from the dreamer Merlin to the latest youth who dreams and rhymes. The poet writes of dreams which wave before the half-shut eyes, The word
 dream is thus constantly used by critics in describing the poets work.
 The true poet says Charles Lamb,

 fined by Sully Prudhomme as 1e reve par lequel lhomme aspire a une via superieurel' But let us return to the parallel between poetry and dreams. Take into consideration also. for fur | ther comparison. besides dreams and
 poetry. two other mental activities which seem on similar evidence to be

related-waking dreams or day dreams and hysterical or neurotic hallucinations and illusions. That noc- turnal dreams and day dreams have some relation Is suggested by their common designation. while day dreams frequently pass into hallucinations, The word dream is supposed to be etyologically connected with the Ger man trugen, to deeaive. its funda- mental idea being niusion, There Is also apparent resemblance between the illusions of hysteria and the vii sions of poetic or proDhetic rapture. The question Is. What may these sew eral kinds of mental activity have in eommon?'
 The author then takes up a great

how much the President really knows
of what the actual situation is out

is an abundance of gossip going the

Rev, W. c. Taylor of Per-
nambuco, Brazil, was in Marion

day.
He filled the pulpit of Rev.
j. B. Trotter Sunday. both
morning and evening, speaking
to a large and appreciative au-
dience at each service.
Mr.. Taylor is a brother to
Boise A. Taylor and has been
a missionary in Brazil for some
years. He is in this country
only long enough to regain his
health when he will return. He
tells many interesting stories
and customs of the Brazilians
and also of the struggles the
against catholicism.
The Second Baptist church
held no services to permit their
members to hear Mr.. Taylor
Sunday and a large number
availed themselves of the op-
portunity.

INFANT son OF
BELTS is BACK

Tower Belt left Tuesday for
Evansville to accompany his
mother and little brother home
from the hospital. Mrs. Belt
has been at the hospital for
some time with her baby who
is supposed to have had small
pox.
The baby was sick here for
some time and the local doctors
pronounced the case erysipelas.
After every thing had been don
to save the life of the child and
all hopes of it's recovery were
gone Mrs. Belt rushed the child
to an Evansville hospital where
they pronounced it smallpox and
she and the baby were sent to
the city detention hospital
which is about three miles out
in the country. The baby got
along nicely and is now practi-
cally well. but the one amusing
thing is that the doctors have
changed their decision again
and say that the baby never had
smallpox, but whatever disease
affected the child is of second
ary consideration to the many
friends of this fine family-the
fact that the baby is restored
to health is what is of vital in
terest to them.

PUBLIC HEALTH WORK

One of the poorest paid forms
of public service is the work
done by health officers and
boards of health. For instance
in the state of Indiana. salaries
paid to local health officers av-
erage the munifcent sum of two
cents per year for each inhabi-
tant. After a man has paid out
hundreds of dollars for sickness
in his home, and perhaps left
his best hopes under a desolate
little mound in the cemetery he
begins to realize that it is worth
more than two cents a year to
have his health protected.
Many towns that consider
themselves progressive will get
along with health officers serv-
ing purely from public spirit or
else paid some trifing sum.
While public spirit does lots of
good things getting something
for nothing is no better busi-
ness proposition in the public
health business than in any,
other line of work.
While the public health work
has been fairly we'll done in this
county. the amount spent is in
adequate. The appropriations
should be sufficient to carry on
thoroughly the following lines
of work: Reports and quaran-
tine Of contagious diseases,
inspection of sanitary condi-
tions and the authority to CON-
pei them removed, measures for
baby welfare, inspection of the
schools and school children. and
educational public work car
ried on.

CANNING FACTORY
WANTS LOCATION

The Canning Factory Co., of
Evansville, wants to locate in
a good town where they can get
the farmers to raise at least
100 acres of tomatoes for them.
They say in a letter to Post
master Olive that they are not
looking for any bonus or are
not trying to sell any stock, just
want a good place to can to-

good industries-but they are

they are here-Waterworks the

TOBACCO SALES

Tobacco sales on the Provi-

aggregate more than q half
million pounds of the weed and
the farmers have been paid more
than one hundred thousand dol
lars. The average is higher than
at any other market in that
section.
Owing to the high water and
bad weather which has pre-
vailed nearly ever since the
warehouse was opened, the de-
liveries have been slow and it
may be said that the market
has only started there.
The average of all sales on
that market has been $19.78.
