Demian Bedni More
OF Favorite Than
Robert Bridges

Moscow. Nov. 1.-Demian Bedni,
poet laureate of the kremlin, is
more of a popular favorite than
Robert Bridges, the British poet lau-
reate.
Demian is his family name and
Bedni means THE Poor. But he is
far from being poor in the generally
accepted sense. He a q good apart
ment at the Krenllin, travels on spe-
cial cars and enjoys great distinction.
He was we'll known as a poet before
the revolution but rides Pegasus so
s%killfully under orders and is so sue
cessful as a writer of propaganda
verse and so good an orator that he
has been very useful to Trotzky and
other leaders. He frequently travels
about with prominent Bolshevist
chieftains and has found much favor
with the Red army, to which he reads
his political verses.
Demian is a robust, typical Russian
of 40, who hal great physical strength
and personality and is not compelled
to rely or eccentriciues of dress or
manner to attract attention.
The revolution brought out a large
crop Of new poets and near-poets, who
cast aside all hi traditions of old
Russian verse-makers and announced
that art would throw off Its shackles.
They Immediately scrapped Pushkin
and the other old !. favorites Of the
Russian public. They went in for vers
libre. But the public failed to follow.

There is no brighter spot or the

day than that Of cooperative market

follows:
Wei Ku, an intelligent Chinese
young man, set out one night on a
lonely walk and wandered far away
from the town. Reaching very

man seated on mound reading a
huge book supported by his knees.
Curious to know what the old man
was doing at such a late hour he
stopped for a moment. hoping to
engage the old man in conversation
Finally his curiosity overcame him
and he asked the stranger what he
was reading. Wei Ku's humbied de-

he told him that the book was the

duly appointed custodian. He said
II was his duty TO pair of every
couple within the four seasons and
the nine continents.
Naturally Wei Ku became inquisi-

demurred. but at last consented TO

Wei Ku was disappointed and
asked the old man n he could re-
arrange matters. The old man shook
his head and wisely said. What
