FOUR HIGH SCHOOL BOYS DISCIPLIHEO Honors and Privileges Taken from Them for Jaunt Into "Underworld."

THE TRAGEDY OF SUCCESS

Great Poets Neglected, Although Famous for the Production of a Single Lyric. Gillilan Exception, Despite "Finnigin to Flanigan."

A tour about the city of Anderson, in which the red light district was visited, in order to get a glimpse of the underworld, is costing four Richmond high school youths dearly. Last Friday evening, following the debate between the Richmond high achool and the Anderson high school teams, four Quaker City boys decided to "have a time," and accompanied by three Anderson lads started to make the rounds. They entered a resort in the slum district unmindful of the fact that another student of the local school, who had been left in charge of the boys, was following them. At first the student, who was detailed to "take care" of the others disliked entering the place, but deciding it was his duty to do so, he knocked at the door, was invited in, and attempted te lead his fellow-students back to the straight and narrow path. Dut despite his pleading, coaxing and threatening, he was emphatically informed to mind his own business and he was obliged to leave the place unaccompanied. Tells Women Teachers. His line of duty staring straight ahead of him, the youth, at a loss to know what course to pursue in rescuing his schoolmates, returned to the hotel and informed the two women teachers of the occurrence. A. L... Murray, head of the debating department, who was in charge of the debating team, had left for Muncie earlier in the evening, leaving the two women teachers in charge. When informed of the affair the women teachers immediately called up the principal of the Anderson high school by telephone but were unable to get into communication with him. They then decided to talk to a patrolman, and related the facts to him as they had . been told. When the blue coat arrived at the resort in question, he laughingly informed the boys that it would be a wise move for them to "beat it" which they did. When the faculty members returned to : this city .they informed Principal Neff, who this morning declared that all honors would be taken away from the offending students. One of the students was a member of the debating team, who by his efforts in the Anderson debate, did much toward winning the unanimous decision for the Richmond school. Another of the students is one of the best athletes in the school. Blame is placed on the three Anderson students for leading the Richmond youths away from the other tetudents. Principal Neff says that he will not allow the occurrence to interfere with the. students securing an education, but, that they will not be permitted to represent the school in any event.

BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE. A poet or writer is somtimes handicapped by his own fame. This is admirably touched off in Stockton's story, "His Deceased Wife's Sister." The author of a tale with this title made such a tremendous success with its publication that he could never get anything published after under his own name. Elitors and publishers who beseeched him for manuscripts regretfully returned "them stating that while they were meritorious and, under other circumstances, would have been accepted, the publishers or editors wanted something that would equal if not surpass "His Deceased Wife's Sister." So that the celebrated author of "His Deceased Wife's Sister" found himself literally starving while compelled to pose in the spot-light as the genius who had given this ttory to the world. , " " In order to save himself from oblivion by way of the starvation route he assumed a nom de guerre and thereafter became prosperous selling his stories under this name and carefully preserving his anonymity. This, while a burlesque, contained a certain modicum of truth. A great poet of the Middle West, Coates-Kinney, who did a few years ago, was an admirable, or lamentable, instance of this literary injustice. When still a very young man he wrote the familiar "Rain Upon the Roof," which, modestly published in a western paper, was copied the world over, set to music, translated into a dozen different Janguages and included in all English anthologies. And although his later poetic product possessed far greater literary distinction and was indicative of a ripened and mellowed genius, this admirable writer died embittered by what he regarded as literary neglect although famous for the authorship of this lyric. It is true, however, that a writer or an artist is not always the best judge of his own work. And to give to the world a single expression of universal human appeal may be the superlative point of artistic attainment. "The Night Has a Thousand Eyes," is familiar the world over but who knows that its author, Francis Bourdillon, wrote other fine verse? "Home Sweet Home," fixed John Howard Payne's fame for all time. On the other hand a poem which makes a "hit" with the public, both literary and lay, may be an Invaluable asset to its author and this proved to be true with Strickland W. Gillilan when "Life" first published his famous "Finnigin to Flannigan." Gillilan, in an amusing preface to a new edition of his volume of verse, "Including Finnigin," issued through Forbes and Company, of Chicago, says something to this effect: "The bell-wether, as It were, of this huddle of strays, Is the 'Finnigin story which opened to me the door of opportunity, both in the periodicals and on the platform."

i One need -only read through this

book to recognize the author's genuine poetic feeling, his catholicity, his conception of the tragedy of existence, its melancholy, its anachronisms and also its beauty, some of which he writes into "Counting the Cost:" "To make one little, golden grain Requires the sunshine and the rain, The hoarded richness of the sod, And God. "To form and tint one dainty flower That bloomed to bless on fleeting hour Doth need the clouds, the skies above And love. "To make one life that's white and good. Fit for this human brotherhood, Demands the toll of weary years And tears. But above all, Gillilan is a humourist. His verse, touching off with amiable sarcasm the foibles, sardonicisms, incidents and paradoxes of every day life are as admirable as they are diverting. In instance "We Occupied a Box." "I've been to see a lot of shows Since I forsook the farm, Including some that folks have said Do one a deal of harm. But I recall one where I missed All risk of moral shocks The one in which I occupied A second-story box. "We heard the curtain rising, and We knew it had begun; And when we saw folks leaving, why, We knew the thing was done. But what transpired between times well, My guesses came in flocks, But I don't know for certain, for We occupied a box. "Twas halfway to the roof, where we Could see the pulleys work. And when 'twas dark we faintly saw Some stage hands through the murk But when the show was at its height We surely got our knocks, For we were safely hidden in

The second-story box. The lady sitting at the edge Which overhung the crowd Could see the footlights, and sometimes She giggled right out loud. And then we knew she'd caught a glimpse Of some one on the stage; But that was all our bunch could learn, In our sequestered cage. "We got to read our programmes through. The laundry adds and all; Learned where to buy our dry-goods - when We fixed up for the fall; We learned whose prices were the least, Who carried largest stocks; But see the show? Nay, nay, Pauline, We occupied a box!" In vivid contrast "They call me strong because my tears I shed where none may see; Because I smile, tell merry tales and win the crowd to me; They call me strong because I laugh to ease an aching heart. Because I keep the sweet side out and hide the bitter part. But, O, could they who call me strong live but an hour with me When I am wrung with awful grief in my Gethsemane."

THE OIL IN A NUTMEG. if a Pin Prick Doesn't Draw It Then You've Got a Woodon Artiolo. The pure food expert at a pure food show in New York took up a nutmeg. "Watch me lab this pirn into the nutmeg here and there." be said. Do you see bow from each pin prick a little oil exudes T Well, that is a proof that the nutmeg is good. When a pin prick draws no oil from it It is a wooden nutmeg, nothing more. "The nutmeg tree of Asia is seventy feet high. The fruit is like t pur. The flesh of the fruit is like candied citron, and its seeds," our nutmeg proper, are enveloped in a yellow rind that is our mace. "Nutmegs are dried for two months in a moderate heat. They are then sorted, and the small and broken ones are thrown into the press for the purpose of extracting their oil. the essential oil of nutmeg being a very costly article of commerce. "The big. fine, choice nutmegs, if they are now put on the market, are all right; but. the oil being so costly, there is a way of extracting it without the up of the press. The fine, choice niKmeg is steeped in hot water and afterward coated with lime. Then, though all its oil and nearly all its flavor have departed, it looks O. K. "It looks O. K but it is a worthless "wooden nutmeg.' and if you grate it over anything you get no flavor, while if you stick a pin in it no oil exudes." Exchange.
