HAY AS A VERSE WRITER An admirer of the writings of John Hav selects the followinc isvms, with the remark that Mr. ; . . , . i Hay might never have beeonie ! famous statesman if he had not' written the ioems of "Jim lUudso' j and "Little Breeches." When he. resigned his post at Madrid, in j 1S70 b eame home, intending to study law and to practice in Illi nois. Before going deeply into law, however, he submitted the two oems to the New York Tribune, and they were printed. They attracted great attention and led to the author's being offered a post as an editorial writer on the Tribune. He accepted, and thus his career was changed. "Jim Bludso" was the first of the poems printed, and it was onej that really made him famous inj literature. It is as follows: j JIM ItT.l'Dso, OF THK 1'BAIKIE ItKI.I.i: Wall, no! I can't tell wla-re he lives. I IJeeauHe tie don't live you see; ' lastwayti. tie's got out of the habit ! Of Hviu-like yon and me. - U'har h i l..,i f..r tlu ImmI I three years. t That you haven't heard folks tell How Jimmy Hludso pass.,1 In his j , j The night of the Prairie Bell? He weren't no saint theiu engineers Is pretty much alike One wife in Xatchei-Under-t he-Hill And another one here. In Pike; A keerless man in hia talk was Jim, And an awakward man in a row; Itut he never flunked and he never lied I recken lie never knowetl how. And this waa all the religion he had To treat his engine well: Never be passed on the river; To mind the pilot's bell; And h ever the Prairie Ilelle took fire A thousand times he swore He'd hold her nozzel agiu the bank Till the last soul got ashore. All boats has their day ontheMissis sipp, And her day come at last The Movastar wa a better boat, But the Belle, she wouldn't lie paased, And so she came tearin' along that night The oldest eraft on the line With a nigger sqnat on her safety valve, Aud her furrmee crammed, rosin and pine. The fire burst out as she cleared the bar, And burnt a hole in the night. And quick as a flash she turned, and made For that wilier lank on the right. There was runnin' and cursin", but Jim yelled out. Over all the infernal roar, "I'll hold her nozzle agin the bank Till the last galoot's ashore." Through the hot, black breath of the burnin boat, Jim Bludso's voice was heard. And they all -had trust in his cussed- ness, And knowe'd he would keep his word. And, sure's you're born, thev all got off Afore the smokestacks fell And Bludso's ghost went up alone In the smoke of the Prairie lielle. He weren't, no saint but at jedg ment I'd run my chance with Jim. 'Longside of some pious gentlemen That wouldn't shook hands with him. He seen his duty, a dead-sure thing And went for it thar an then: And Christ ain't a-going to Is too hard On a man that died for men. This was followed in a few days by"Little Breeches," and the two created something of a furor in literary circles. It is related that Mr. Hay really wrote the two poems as a burlesque or parody on the western verse of Bret Harte and that he was the most surpris ed man in the country when he found that they had been accepted as American classics. This is the poem of "LITTLli BREECHES" I don't go much on religion, I never ain't had no show; But I've got a middlin' tight grip sir, On the handful o' things I know. I don't pan out on the prophets, And. free-will and that sort of thing But I b'lieve in Ood and the angles I come into town with some turnips, r.vrr Bimr wiitt muni lunt nullum.

Mr. Hay's highest poetic level is I thought to have been reached in I his verses on "Liberty," written apropos of the execution of the j men of the Paris commune at j Satory: All in vnin will timorous ones essay I To set the mete and bounds of Liberty For Freedom is ita own eternal law It runken its own condition, find In storm Or Calm Will. nlike fulfills the unerring j- Let us then not despise it when it lies Still aa a sleeping Hon, w hilea swarui Of gnat-like evils hover round its head; Nor doubt it when in mad. disjointed times It shakes the torch of terror, and j , , j '-'iimiic u iri i ut; 1 1 1 ri kiii can ii, a dm in the flame Of riot and war we see its awful form Itise by the scaffold, where thecrim sou ax Kinjjs down its grooves the knell of shuddering kings For ever in thine eyes, O Lilterty. Shines that high light by which the world Is saved. And though thou slay us. we will trust in thee This little stanza, an "Exjiect ation," showed his more delicate method as a poet of love: Koll on, O shining sun. To the far seas! ISring down, ye shades of eve; The soft, salt breeze. Shine out, O stars, and light Mi-darling's pathway bright, As though the summer night She comes to me. We are now given to understand that the Columbia Southern will be extended to Madras, which is all very well so far as it goes, but it does not go far enough to attain the object sought for by the people of Central Oregon. It will never be a first class road, but will cost just as much as one would that will meet all the requirements of Central Oregon which would be a first-class road the Corvallis & Eastern, which may also be ex tended to Ontario. It is said that the extension of the Corvallis tV: Eastern is a sharp scheme on the part of Mr. llarriman to keep Gould out of Oregon with his "men! i auiuu. j.,ei mai lie as it may, it will be a God's Messm" , . t i..,. r , (something the Columbia Southern j will never he) to tin- people of; Central Oregon, if it in built, and . the chances are good that it willi le.
