Seven bis tables for the use of pieBickers at the Glen have been made by Supt. Hollarn and his men this winter, the tablet being three feet wide and aeren feet long. They will fill a long felt want at the Glen, for oftimes table apace for picnickers is not to be had on rush days. Painting of all the flower pots and vases a deep red Is about finished. The old benches have also been pa inted red, and preparations for opening up the Glen are rapidly being made. The greenhouse at the Glen will be opened up Sunday afternoon from 2 to 6 o'clock for all who desire to see the flowers being grown there. This practice will be continued every Sunday. None of the animals have made an appearance yet, evidently thinking Jt quite cold enough for them to stay Indoors this sort of weather. When possible, the Glen team is being used to haul boulders to be used in the construction of the Glen arch at the Main street entrance. Thirty-one loads of rocks and boulders of all sorts are now ready for the workmen to use In the construction of the arch. The stones are mainly those removed from the curbs of the streets of the city where cement curbing has been substituted. The lord elk of the Glen herd is the center of attraction right now. He is the greatest weather prophet in this part of the country. When he sheds his antlers the weather will become warmer. Up to date he has shown no Inclination of doffing his crown. A petition. may be circulated requesting him to get busy. - The monkey family is becoming very peevish over the continued cold pell. They have been confined in the greenhouse since early in the fall and they have begun to think they have been sentenced to life Imprisonment. They are extremely anxious to resume their acquaintance with their thousands of friends in Eastern Indiana and Western Ohio.

MORE GOOD ; PQtTRY

In Indiana Poetic Literature Has Been Produced Worthy a Place Among the Great. Orth Stein, the Gifted and Erratic Genius.

BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE. t We too of ten, neglect that which is within our gates. Or, rather, overlook it. And it Is frequently far more exquisite than that which enchants us merely because it is remote. For, ' notwithstanding its ill-use and abuse there is sardonic truth in the old saw "distance lends enchantment to the view." In instance, we have, and have had, in Indiana some delightful writers of poetry. Aside from the celebrities, as Riley. Those not so well known but whose poetic product, if put out at some earlier period would have landed them in the hall of fame. At no period in the world's history is more good poetry being written than now. It has been well said that if some of those alleged immortals Cow per, for example had been living at this time they could not have passed muster. All you need to do to substantiate this by your own critical judgment is to fish If ut from the library discard those dusty volumes of portentous bulk and flip over their pages. In almost any newspaper you may read fugitive poms that excel them ) in both sentiment and form. The writer has taken occasion this week to run in on another page of the paper two poems by Louise Vickroy Boyd "Once Loved" afid "An Au-1 tumn Picture" an Indiana poet, now ! dead, who is too little known by this ! generation and to whom frequent ref-1 erence has been made here. j When the former poem appeared Mrs. Boyd was in her prime and a well known writer of verse for the leading magazines, Mrs. Boyd stating in manuscript, left to the writer from : which to compile the volume of po-1 ems which was recently issued through the Nicholson Press of this city, that "Once Loved" was copied in the press of the country from Maine to California. This readily can be believed since its sentiment Is one whose appeal is universal. Mrs. Boyd was a technician. And an emotional thermometer if it may so be put. She registered every fine shade of feeling, "every infinitesimal change in the gamut of sentiment. Much that she produced might not interest the general reader for its sub ject. None but will render it the tribute of admirable form. Among the less well known poets of the state, was Orth H. Stein, an erratic and gifted genius and a most lovable personality. Stein was a newspaper writer, flitting from one section of the country to another. But everywhere welcome, his contributions to the news columns of the papers with which he became from time to time connected, being classics in their way. He wrote much verse that possesses the indefinable quality that brings the blood to the cheek, the tears to th'? eye, the emotions to the surface. Here is one of them: IN MEMORY. Last night as I leaned from my window, High over the darkling street, A song came floating upward. Broken and incomplete. The words were lost in the chasm, Where traffic rumbled and roared It was only the melody reached me, But it pierced my soul like a sword. What was it? God, I know not; I stood with my lips apart. While it slipt like sands escaping From the troubled grasp of my heart. What sorrow, dead and forgotten. Haunted the vagrant strain; We bury such things, like paupers, In the potter's field of pain. What delicate wraith "of passion, What ghost of the yester years Twas something as sweet as kisses, Something as sad as tears. Rising only to vanish.

WRITTEN Tlil EVER

As a pang of the flesh may tell us Where a wound has long since healed. Orth H. Stein. Stein died early. A short life. And a tumultuous one A necttc career was nis. The flame of being burned hot. It scorched its possessor into vivid ex-, pression. j It etched bis face deep with the great, tragic lines of the "welt schmerz." ' hese are they who attract and hold the attention. Because they appeal to the fancy, to the imagination. Stein, in his way, was quite as romantic a figure as Villon or Poe or. Keats or Byron, or any other of the great poets whose personalities are silhouetted against time. Great is the art of the poe:. Of the juggler with words. For in words he has the most plastic medium of any of the arts. He can throw color and form on the printed page. He can evoke melody from word combinations. He can build more skillfully and surely and beautifully than can an architect with stones. We do not often stop long enough to contemplate the tremendous versatility and elasticity of that greatest of all mediums for translating Nature and humanity language. Stein could use it. He was its master. Because of his temperamental endowments he did not produce save erratically, spasmodically. If be had been able to fuse his genius in the crucible of concentration and efTort, his achievement might have been distinguished. Stein was a member of a gifted family. In his sister, Evaleen Stein, of La Fayette, Indiana has one of her finest aesthetes. Of poetry she has had two volumes published "One Way to the Woods," and "Among the Trees Again," which included as exquisite verse as any Nature poet of this country has written. Her word pictures are dainty, fine and elusive as a Japanese print. In the decorative arts she is superb. She has made, with pen, pencil ami brush, modern missals that have no peer among those turned out of the old monasteries. She is a writer of charming fairy tales for children beautifully illustrated with her own pen. Mibs Stein understands the great law of elimination. This is one of the first that every amateur, who essays perfection that perfection which ranks him as a professional must learn. Artistically nature does not eliminate. Economically she does. And with a system, cruelty and unmorality which no human or combi nation of humans can ever hope to imitate. To nature we are nothing. She consigns us without emotion to oblivion. As long as we keep out of her way tnd her great purposes so long are we unmolested. But we are, sooner or later, sucked into her maw and ground to. pulp. For in the end Nature "gets us."

Who. unless he be a chemist, would suppose that there exists anything in common between the camphor of the orient and the turpentine obtained from the pine tree in the Occident? The two substances have no superficial resemblance, their very odors being different, yet. chemically considered, there is very little difference between them. Turpentine is composed of ten atoms of carbon combined with sixteen atoms of hydrogen, nnd camphor has the same . components, with the addition of one atom of oxygen. The best natural camphor comes from Formosa, and the outbreak of the Russian-Japanese war advanced the price to such an extent that the chemists of the world were called upon to contrive a substitute. They soon decided that It would be more practicaable to make an artificial camphor. Knowing turpentine to be the substance most nearly allied to it In chemical structure, a series of experiments on a very large scale was begun. A detailed history of these experiments would fill many volumes. Today from a determined quantity of turpentine may be obtained a fourth part of the weight of pure camphor. The success of the experiments was first known when the odor of camphor Issued frim set combinations. Todny man can manufacture in the laboratory in fifteen days an amount of camphor which it takes a tree two years to produce. Harper's Weekly. Why Hens Dent Lay In Winter. I have found it very difficult to make people understand that a hen cannot make eggs and feathers at the same time. She can lay while she is shedding her feathers, because there is then no drain on her system for any other purpose. But when the new coat of feathers is started she quits, simply because she cannot do double duty make feathers and eggs at the same time. When people learn this fact they will not expect eggs from a ben that is growing a coat of feathers. And then they may also learn how to manage their hatching and feeding so as to get eggs in the late fall and winter, when they want them badly. Farm and Fireside. to you. C AtotOjv. JMI

Although no announcement has been made of sub- -jects for speeches the President will make on this trip, it is regarded as practically certain that he will not fail to include in his addresses some of the topics touched - by Colonel Roosevelt in hla Columbus speech. Word comes from Lincoln that the annual Bryan birthday banquet to be held in that city Tuesday will be the occasion of a nation-wide Progressive Democratic conference. Senator Gore, of Oklahoma; George.
