RILEY’S FIRST HIT. Wrote a Poem “by Poe" and Palmed It on the Public. James Whitcomb Riley began his career in a newspaper office in Anderson, Iud„ by writing humorous rhymes as “advertising locals” - ••doggerel" be called them. At the same time he wrote many rhymes with the serious intention of having them, if possible, recognized as poems. But be could not get them published. Even compositions whose worth he had tested—those that “would please people when I'd ■land up and read 'em to them”—would be returned promptly by every magatine to which he offered them for publication. The lioosier dialect was too “low down" for the average magazine

editor.

Finally in a freak of boyish indlgna-, tion, to prove that what editors really wanted was not originality, but imitatiou, he devised the scheme of writing a poem in imitation of Poe and of palming it off on the public as a real poem of Poe’s recently discovered. The scheme was very skillfully planned and very deftly executed and successful beyond anything the clever deviser of it bad ever dreamed. From one end of the country to the other "Leonuiuie" was bailed as a veritable “find,” a bit of genius’ most genuine ore. Riley bad his revenge. He had some trouble, however, in proving that he was not an intentional forger. He lost his newspaper position, but he immediately got another and better one on the Indianapolis Journal. “Come and get pay for your work," said Judge Martiudale, the editor. The turn In the tide had come. A BORN SOLDIER.

Major General Stuart, the Dashing Cavalry Leader. Major General J. E. B. Stuart of the Confederate cavalry was a soldier by nature. Dashing and daring, cool in the face of danger, he was one of the brave and picturesque figures of the civil war. H. B. McClellan quotes in “Life and Campaigns of Major General Stuart" from General Fitz-Hugh Lee's impression of the future cavalry leader while he was still at West Point: “1 recall his distinguishing characteristics, which were strict attention to military duty; erect, soldierly bearing: immediate and almost thankful accept ance of a challenge to fight from any cadet who might feel himself in any way aggrieved and a clear, ringing voice." Stuart was a most cheerful soldier That “clear” voice of his was often used in singing his favorite war song If you want to have a good time, Jine the cavalry. His courageous attitude was held until the very end. He was wounded by a pistol on the battlefield. As he was being carried away he noticed the disorganized ranks of his Retreating men. “Go back!” he called out. “Go back! Do your duty us I have done mine! Go back! I'd rather die than be whip ped!” Those were his last words on the field of battle. Later he said, with the same eourflge: “I’m going fast now. God’s will be done.”

Bungle's Bad Break. Mr. Bungle always takes n deep and sympathetic Interest in the welfare of his fellow man. While out for a stroll one day he met a friend, who seemed In a great hurry. "Hold on, Jones,” said Bungle, grabbing his friend’s arm. “Why this rush?” “Bungle,” said Jones, removing his hat and wiping his brow, “I’m hot footing it to a specialist. I believe my brain Is affected.” Mr. Bungle, to allay the fears of his friend and show the customary commiseration. said jovially: “Pshaw, Jones, you shouldn't worry about such a little thing ns that!” “Wb-hat?” “I mean you shouldn’t let such a little thing as your brain—that is, Mr. Jones, you shouldn’t get so excited over nothing—of course—ah, good day, Mr. Jones!”—Bohemian.

Teaching the Drummer. It was the custom in the days of our old navy for the men to bring to the mast all the wornout articles which were to be Inspected, handed In and exchanged for new. The drummer bad applied for so many drum heads that the commodore felt sure he was being Imposed upon and one day set bimself to watch while the band was playing. As one rattling martial air followed another his anger Increased perceptibly until he burst forth in uncontrollable rage: “There, now, confound you! I see why you use so many drum heads. Don’t drum in the middle of It all the time. Drum all over that drum, I tell your . Plants That Hate One Another. Fancy two plants being so unfriendly that the mere neighborhood of one Is death to the other. Yet this is the case witU two well known English plants. These are the thistle and the rape. If a field is infested with thistles which come up year after year and ruin the crops, all you have to do Is to sow it with rape. The thistle will be absolutely annihilated.

The Judge's Advantage. “There is one advantage which a Judge always has In his profession." “What Is that?" “Whether he succeeds in a given case or not, he can always try it.”—Kansas City Independent.

Many a man too late remembers’ that the unspoken word never starts a quarrel—Washington Star.

TO BUY RIGHT OF WAY

Yandalia Instructs Representive to Secure Land for Wider Track Between Urecncastle and Harmony. Right of Way Man, Thomas Phillips, of this city, has recieved word from the Vandalia railroad company that all construction work on the straightening and louble tracking of the road from Harmony to Greencastle has been stopped. He was notified at the same time that he is to proceed to buy right of way for the road as far as the appropriation now available for that purpose will go. The company proposes sooner or later to complete the work begun, but it will probably be delayed four or five years. Hence, it would behoove those having right of ways along the road to get their fingers in the pie while the appropriation lasts.—Brazil Times.
