In recent years the poet and his muse have become the butt of ridicule i I literary'oirclesfand have been crow led out to make room for the cheap news paper paragrapher. Not long ago two men both ex-editors were discuss ng the cause of this crusade against poetry, and after a somewhat heated discussion , one challenged the other to define poetry and submit his ."defi nition to the newspapers and invite criticism. Mr 0. A. Reese, who ac cepted the challenge, has just com pleted his defense of poetry and sub raits it to the Courier : A DEFINITION OF POETRY. Poetry is the soul of the mind, Wiiicli seeks the good of all mankind ; And soars aloft to lyric height For inspiration to indite, Then to the earth descends again, To spread its vision before men. Poetry, as everyone knows Is the essence or gist of prose, Boiled down from everything we read And fitted to our every need, And it c'leers us into feeling good, However evil.be our mood. Of literature it is the cream, The muse expresses what you mean, And in true verse you mean rar more Than critics give yon.credit for, Though as a ru'e you say much less And leave the reader room to gue-s. And'to guess right each one must read Between each line a thy proceed ; Then oarefully peruse the text, Comparing eacli verse with the next, And silt and analyze the whole ; Its soul ii sweet commune with soul. Every carnal mind has failed to see The merits of true roetry ; And fans to grasp the spark divine, Behin and in between each line, The spirit which reveals to men The soul behind the poet's pen. It i not because they lank th. wit To fathom what is meant by it Or to give it the i roper weight They lack the will to penetrate, And sadly lack upon the whole, Tha which is etter still the soul. soul far above the sordid earth In search of thoughts of greater worth Which seeks and finds the better - part Imnurted i. the noet'b art, The vision whioh to men is sent, To cheer them in environment. And after all has been done and said, Though poetry is seldom read, When others pass from memory, The poet's name will living be, Enmhlazened on the walls or lame, And there ii always will remain. The poet's genius will never die, Having been kindled in the sky, And in all ages yet to come, Twill cheer and comfort everyone, And fill each heart and sou! and mind With love and good will for mankind. Poetry then let me make it plain Is the best product oi the brain, gift from Hods to mortals here, All tthr n r al ti.en to i heer, And when it's rightly understood Twill be the greatest power for good. Below we submit a poem written by Mrs. Olive E. MeCord, of Mt. Pieas- aut, illustrative of the perseverance of Mergenthaler for twonty years in I inventing the linotype and of others in like gront inventions from which the worid derive o much benefit, The Unique. From infant yearf the gift came forth The self insistence of that soul, Like glittering stars it. heaven's scroll, Gave to the world the brightness of its worth. That soul's own gift none others know The crises of its own great act, Original in thought and fact, Until its works to rich fruition grew. What Master taught that soul its power, The intuitive force in life, The euergy that conquers strife, That wrests at last the victor's dower The Maker gave the glowing art, lie bid the power or genius rise; Enrich the world's vast enterprise With utterance of its own grand counterpart.

Farmers Busy New Sawmill Political Matters. January has been on the whole a very boisterous : and tempestuous month, no two days being alike, and has, to some extent, hindered certain lines of work. But this has not re tarded work in timber that is, to those who are not afraid of a little moisture. The ambitious farmer, of which Maple Lane has a considerable ! nnmbei, has his outside work well in hand and is now awaiting sunshine and pleasant weather to resume seed ing andplowiug. Fruit trees by hundreds are being grubbed out : chopped those that are aged and 1 moss-covered, and are being chloro formed and creniatea as the good old Professor Osier terms the fate of everything aged. This is right. What orchards are young and thrifty will be sprayed and what fruit trees are worth saving will be pruned to meet the requirements of Fruit Inspector Reid. Only in this way can Clacka mas county become noted for good apples All Maple Lane farmers will do what they can to eradicate the San Jose scale and coddling moth forever and eternally. There is constantly something new transpiring under the sun and the latest Maple Lane industry is a saw mill now going up fh a virgin piece of timber adjoining the land owned by Mr. Campbell, a worthy Sjotohman The mill is a little late in getting l I i 1 ,,,llllM'IW"l "IF ll I.

Miss Myrtle Darling received word last week that her mother, who is sick in California, is convalescing and that her father is expected home from there the latter part of this week. This will be good news to all Maple Lane friends of the lady. Mrs. Bradford.giuotlier of Mrs. C. Swallow, while on a visit to her daughter here, had an attack of pneu monia last week. She has convalesced so as to proceed to Portland to visit another daughter. , The registration of voters is the be ginning of some talk along political lines among farmers in this section. Home do not relish the way things are run now and it is our prediction that quite a number of voters who were Republicans at the last election wil1 n t be found in that camp at the Jane election. This is to be considered a slap at the bosses, and the Socialistic . nud Demooratio ranks will be recruited therefrom. There has been nothing creditable from a Kepablican admin. istration in county affairs, rue n0 retDrns o( a laatine-benefit made or rendered. Especially are bad roads a reminder that all that ia wanted of him is his vote, that hn has only to pay his taxes and ask no favors as re gards work or a bridge in certain road districts. Ti is snubbing of the farmer, who haB his weather eye open, is going to tell at the next lection. Therefore, we say, let the Democrats nominate a good tieket and you will see a surprise in store jumping from the G. O. P. ranks into the Socialistic and Democratic cam i s. And ca you blame us, M .

Mr. Paulson has three sick horses. Staggers is the complaint. We think the snow is 14 inches deep at Rich's mill now and at the Mol alla mines it must be about five feet deep at present.
