In all seriousness, lit may be said
that W. O.'s inherited sympathy for
all mankind was. a matter of daily
manifestation. . ; ,
' Reverting to amateur poets, while
he was kind to them and at . times
seemed to encourage them, he never
tried to write rhymes himself. I have
searched the back of my head in vain
lor - a single instance where W. , G.
essayed verse writing, that I might
have something to hold against him.
Many of the things a newspaper
has to print were more painful to the
Star editor, publisher. : reporter, ad
vertising solicitor, circulation mana
ger and general untility man than
poor, weak rhymes.

a prose poet and had a vocabulary
too big for a small town newspaper.
It was so voluminous that it couldn't

that hannened from day to day. To

was to be humiliated Before the
world had committed an indiscretion
for which his shopmates in the Huber
factory could find no suitable punish
ment under the statutes. When
Sheets told Harding what was going
to happen a pained expression came
over W. G.'s face, as was always the
case when anything hurt him inside.
He wanted to go out and nip the
thing in the bud. but the reporter ar
gued that It' couldn't be done and
there was no sense in spoiling a
good story anyway.
Yes, it actually happened at the
scheduled hour. The indlscrette, as
tride a rail, was carried through the
public streets and ducked in the pub

He wouldn't look at it. But he let
Henry write the story, and It was
printed. It was "must stuff.

like a real hero was when the small
