HALL NEGLECTED GENIUS ONE of the best-known of modern poets, 111 and destitute after a life time of toil, announces cheerfully that he Is emphatically not a neglected genius. True, he has no money, but It was j not money that he worked for. His fame is perhaps not as great as his i talent merited, but he did not work ; for fame. He worked for the Joy of working, and that was enough. He looks back upon life feeling that ' it brought him all that he could ask. Genius is not neglected any more than diamonds are neglected, and for ; the same reason. This man. had he chosen, could now be comfortably sup plied with money. We believe that he should have been. Every man owes It to himself i to gain Independence, and money , means independence. Our poet's celeb t rity could have been coined into ; enough cash to ease his old age, but If he preferred to neglect his oppor tunities it Is nobody's business but his own. It Is his absence of bitterness that Is worth heeding. He has discovered, what every other man should discover, that no earnest effort is wasted. He has learned that people are only too ready to recognize genius when they find it. and to reward it when they recognize It.

Hp HEBE Isn't a day In the whole round year That Isn't a perfect day ; Measured and trued and painted with gold, It glides on Its destined way ; It is one of the gems that Is given yuu A pearl in life's necklace rare, And it hasn't a scar and it hasn't a mar Unless you have made It there. The sun cannot shine every day of your life, But the soft clouds have their place; If all of the hours were a glitter and shine, You would weary in each day's race; For the eyes must behold and the soul must feel The peace of these quiet grays. That soften the light and refresh our sight, After the burning rays. There Is beauty abundant for every need In everj' day of the year; If you cannot see It, you're blind Indeed, For beauty Is ever near ; Whatever your lot, you may freely share In the paintings of earth and sky ; They are wondrous In worth and there's never a dearth Of charm for the seeing eye.

A "pork-barrel" measure, there fore, is one which would enrich certain districts at the expense of the public treasury, either by providing for costly Improve ments or by spending money un necessarily. To And the genesis of the phrase we have to go back to the earlier days of the republic, when the majority of the citi zens were fanners who, during the winter, were forced to Uv on salt pork. If their supply was adequate and their barrels well filled, thev said they had no need to worry about a long, hard winter the pork -barrel would take care of them. In a similar, but more metaphorical sense, they now look to their congressmen to take c.ire of them by seeurtng at least a par tlon of the "pork-barrel" legis lation, which will lead to profits on labor, land and supplies, c r WhKr Syadtcat. lac.)
