ABBOTT TELLS HOW HE WROTE FAMOUS POEM

Veteran Judge Recalls Beau tiful Morning and Joke Played on Charles Jordan After Writing: Passage. BY L. C. ABBOTT. Reminiscence. When I was a MkM" Km time ago, I used to pity old people, who would sit Hone and seem disturbed if I attempted any boyish pranka near them. I did pot then understand a well aa I do bow the eata hour age spends under the letting sua oft the purple aky of life's lower hoifcrn , Ttoetfootad memDry in thoae llOTfrs Uterele fast&etween boyhood and age. Meeting Charley Jordan on the sidewalk the other day I said to him, "I may desire to read to you another of Bay peems tome day" and we had a hearty laugh. Years age when he was Douflty superintendent of stfoools I wandered out to the Glen one spring horning. i Kaoh Memlng la New. I loTe mornings because they come to Tie each year as if newly made for that day. On tbia early beautiful morning, aa I sat on top of the hill east of the lake, the gentle zephyrs blew a scrap of paper to my feet, I picked it tip and wrote: There's never a ralley without a hill, Or a Joy without a sorrow, Or night so dark with humor 111, There cornea a brieht tomorrow. Taking a lot of legal paper T rolled it up. the stanza on the outside and putting a rubber around the roll, I went to Charley's office. He, always full of Rood nature and tbe courtesy which comes of It. met roe cordially. I said, "Charley. I have written a poem and wish your opinion of It." He dropped Into a seat and I unrolled the formidable looking roll and straightened it out carefully and picking up the outer sheet I read the foregoing stanza to ray resigned friend. Aeke To Hear More. "Why," said he, "that is good. Read on." "That Is all there is of it," said I. W,e looked at each other and laughed heartily. Liast week a gentleman from Washington told me he saw those lines postnot know that I have ever published them but people have asked for and reVeived autographed copies. The reader will notice there is no flight of fancy in It. It has been designated concrete facts. The passage of years walks in all reminiscences. You will be if you are not now. A cold crabbed life makes a cold crabbed reminiscence of one. That life be spent in making others happy, you will be happier yourself, your old days solemn and sweet as you feebly walk the lower shores of the boundry between this world and the next. I may give you a remlnlscense of my life with the Indians and why I love them some day. Theatrical Notes Promises of the Press Agent. Unless we miss our guess, a genuine treat is in store for the patrons of Richmond tomorrow, matinee and night.The attraction will be the famous Smart set company, an organiation of colored funmakers, who have already won a plafe in the theatrical firmament. As in former years the production, which is entitled "His Excelency, the President," will be headed by Salem Tutt Whitney, a comedian who can be depended upon to entertain. The offering is destrlbed as a musical comedy in three acts. It was written by Mr. Whitney, himself. NEGLIGENT HUSBAND FED ON HOUSE CORN fBY LEASED WIRE. LOUISVILLE, Ky.. Jan. 1.
