His Poetry Ridiculed, Young Verse Writer Jumps Into Ocean-And Then Recognition Of His POeticaI Works Comes After Death

life-the publication of his poetic ef forts-came in a measure after his death.
 For more than year, Redman told physicians, he had lived beside the sea and had written. believing himself possessedl of "that one talent which is death to hide" It was lodged with him useless" for during that year his verses met with no word Of encour- agement; no mite of understanding only scoffing.
 'T could stand it no longer" he told physicians before he died.
 San Francisco newspapers the next day printed portions of his verse. Market street, San Francisco's main thoroughfare, was the subject of one. It read:
 Market street-you have heart prob-
 ably.
 have never found it Until looked away from your bustle- Up and behind and before me, At the ferry with its long finger shut
 ting out the black bay And the black gulls that faced it. |. Your grinning multitude, With talons that cannot see-and no
 nobility I wondered that the people could rush
 about their business, AS if the fate of the world depended
 on the issue"

TOO LITERAL.

History repeats herself, but child
hood is always original. A kinder
garten teacher who loves children
told her pupils that she would tax
them on a spring outing and that
they must bring their paint boxes
along. They started on day that
might have been made expressly for
children by fairy queen, and when
they got to a place Of trees and
fields and sandy beach, the teacher
decided that their picture would be
a marine.
children, we will paint the
riverr'
And before she could get in a
word of instruction every crumb Of
a child was romping down to the
beach. When she followed after the
artists were at the waters edge, each
with her brush and paints ready for
work. And, naturally, the teacher
asked them what they were going to
do. And the unanimous answer
came:
"Paint the river"

RetributiOn

Retribution seems already
overtaking the republican ad-
ministration.
Dissentions have bred fierce
elimination aud recrimination;
and executive and congressional
disagreement has resulted in
legislative jam.

The country from Maine to

from stagnation.
The New York Times aptly
says the situation is not unlike
that which confronted the Engl'
ish politicians who combined to
overthrow Walpole. Macauly's
description Of their plight reads
almost as if written to fit the
posture of affairs in Washington
Of today;
1T was impossible to follow
any line Of policy which would
not have been offensive to a
large portion of the successful
party. 1t was impossible to find
places for a tenth part of those

leaders were preaching patience
and confidence, while their fol
lowers were clamoring for reward
a still louder voice was hearc
from without, the terrible cry
of the people angry, they hardly
knew with whom. and Impatient
they hardly knew for what. The
Opposition reaped that which
they had sown. Inflamed with
hatred and cupidity, desparing Of
political warfare. and blind t.

CAMEO CARVER An EXPERT
Much Time and skill Required In
Work, and Slightest sip
May Be Fatal.

The stone-onyx and sardonyx-
from which canoes are carved is so
plentiful on the Uruguay river,
Brazik that ships often take it away
as ballast. Nevertheless, perfect
pieces of large size are costly, a
piece suitable for a large portal cost
ing as much as SIS. This stone is
preferred for canoes because Of its
hardness and durability, and is suit
able for such work owing to the fact
that it comes in layers of contrast
inga color, as black and white and
cream, or red and white. When the
cut figure is sunk into the stone in
stead of being raised, the cutting is
called an,intaglio. The cost of these
gems is due to the time and skill re-
quired in the work. Formerly q
small gem might occupy an artist
for a year or more, but with modern
appliances the work can be done
much more rapidly. Still, the an
Gent work bears the palm for arts
tic excellence. The cutting is now
done by holding the stone against a
revolving drill, whose soft steel is
hard enough to cut the stone. The
utmost patience, caution and deli
cate handling are required, as the
slightest slip may be fatal to the
work

howl caught the coontry and
rolled over from side to side in
every direction until there was
such an unrest that something
had to be done. 1t was done. As
a consequence, Southern farmers
lost a billion and half on the
cotton crop, wheat farmers
failed corn famers lost their
savings, and every other
farmer together with many pro
ducers in many lines went bown.
and with them many banks and
mercantile es adjustments; and
those that did not go under
found it hard to manage their
affairs so as to keep afloat. This
was the resul: of what might be
called craze.
Now this new slogan Anne

just the very same purpose, ex-

financial interest of the country
that this may catch as responsive

results to those against whom
it Is aimed. With nearly the
