Poets Lyric Tribute
to Queen of Beauty

Julian Hawthorne saw great deal
of Joaquin Miller, the Poet of the
Sierras," when both were living in
London years ago, writer In the
Kansas City Times tells US. Once at
a garden party at which Lille Lang.
try-then in the first bloom of her
beauty-was the center of attraction
, Hawthorne introduced the poet to the
ravishing Jersey Lily.
81 left them talking prosperously,'
relates Hawthorne in his reminis,
cences, shapes That Pass" "but Joa-
quin came Fastening after me in a
few moments.
"'Have you got bit of paper?' he
asked. I have pencil; she wants
me to write her lyric
81 found an old envelope in my
pocket" adds Julian, "he seized it, and
squatted down on the turf, where |
left him scribbling and went back to
keep Lille till he was ready. II
seemed hardly five minutes before he
came stalking toward us smiling in his
yellow beard and waving the en-.
velope."
And here is the lyric. Hawthorne
says he does not think 1t has been in
print till now:
II all Gods earth a garden were.
And all the women flowers.
And bee that buzzed there
Through all the summer hours.
Oh, I would buzz the garden through
For honey-till came to you!

Folklore Legends That
Have Many Believers

Curious old customs, legends and
superstitions still existing in the Brit
ish isles were recalled at a congress
of the British Folklore society. For
example, one speaker told the con-
gress that there still is belief in the
Isle of Man that the cats of the island
have king of their own. During the
day the liking" lives the life of an
ordinary house cat. At night he as,
sumes his royal attributes and travels
about in regal state. 1t is dangerous
for householder with whom he lives
to treat the liking cat" unkindly. Cats
are further believed to be on intimate
terms with fairies and other invisible
inh ibitants of the world of mystery.
The cat is the only member of the
household allowed to remain in the
kitchen when the fairies enter to
warm themselves after the human resi-
dents have gone to bed. Again. large
black dogs with flaming eyes are sup
posed to roam the island at night The
best way to pursue witch is to chase
her with greyhound having not a
single black hair. An old Manx law Is
to the effect that any Manxman might
kill a Scotsman provided that the
Manxman must go to Scotland and
bring back two goats to keep the vic
TINS ghost away.-Pierre Van Paas-
sen, In the Atlanta Constitution.

SANTA CLAUS WAS HERE
AND MADE KIDDIES HAPPY

Monday afternoon, Santa Claus was
at the Community Center and met the
Riddles of Ely. The day was beauti-
full and the children began to con-
gregate shortly after one o'clock al
though Santa was not supposed to put
in an appearance until four o'clock
When he did arrive, the streets near
the Community Center were jammed
with gaily dressed and happy crowd
of young humanity
Nearly three thousand packages
were distributed. ALI the school chill
dren had been given tickets while
those not of school age were in the
front line and were given first atten-
ton by Santa. The tickets and pack
ages were exhausted about the same
time, although it required over two
hours to attend to the wants of the
jostling, jolly crowd of youngsters.
Monday evening Manager Cox of the
Elco gave all children free perform
ance which was appreciated and well
attended.
Christmas afternoon, Manager Mil
tenberg of the Opera House admitted
all children free at special perform
ances.

Child Reform,

After three years study of the treat
ment and training of child offenders In
Scotland, committee appointed by the
secretary of state for Scotland has sub
mitted PA recommendations for pre-
vention and cure of crime among the
young. Many of the ideas follow the
trend OF progressive social procedure
in other countries. Among them are
the elimination of the young as street
traders or employees Of gambling re-
sorts, and increased recreational ia

Summers Extension.

Indian summer is name applied
to short season of pleasant weather
which occurs in the Central and At
lantic coast states usually during the
months of October and November. but
more rarely in December. Indian sum-
mer Is characterized by an almost
cloudless sky, calm or light air. hazy
atmosphere, and a mild temperature
In the daytime although cool at night.
This period may last two or three
weeks and may occur two or three
times during a season. The theory has
been advanced that early settlers may
have given the bright warm days of
autumn the name of Indian summer
because II was as gaudy as the In.
dians in their war paints Another
idea is that at this season the Indians
often went to war because the bright
autumn cOlors served as camoufage
for them. There is no actual record
of the use of the term until 1774,
when II was in general use through
out the Atlantic states.

Electric Lamp Progress

In 1900 it was said that the incan-
descent lamp with carbon filament was
so perfect device that 1t could never
be much improved. 1t was at about
that date that industrial research was
inaugurated In the electrical industry.
Since then the efficiency of the mean
descent lamp has been approximately
quadrupled, and the great increase In
the tntensities Of artificial lighting
made possible by the cheaper light.
The new applications created by the
new lamps have had a far-reaching
effect on our Industrial prosperity.
