Mr. Loper s genius is quite of a piece wun theirai::-.iv.,k'-::i!i-:;:ft-v,vw- v .-.-..'-'---: The deduction thai he Is old is made front Internal evidence; but frcra the external- appearance f the book, ele gantly bound In red Cloth ana goia anu printed on fine paper and In fine style, we deduce that the author Is rich.

' ; So, we assert with confidence, from Internal and external -evidences, inai Mr. Loper Is an old rich gentleman, resident at aullford.iConn. The sreat majority of his poems ana this Is a stout volumeare reminiscent and descriptive of, this same Guilford. The first effusion on this favored town la long and IS composed of pentameter couplets With a pleasing change now and then into hexameters. "As all 'good Gullfcrd souls' some meas ures taae The dear old town to more attractive make.'' Notice with what defiance he splits his Infinitives! ' Rhetoric has no cleans over the master mind. And now fol lows an extt-mple or two of how boldly he lurches from one meter into another. "And everywhere all human life has true accord With all that nature's bounteous charms afford." "On all these hills and dales the tokens still remain That tails of those who did not live In vain." Let no carping erhool boy, In his lit tle learning, sneer nt the grammatical bearing of "the tokens . . . tells." He will learn later In life that gram mar la merely the alleged oil for the ve hicle ot expression, put up In packages for halting Intellects. And maybe he will grow old enough some tine to catch the flowing music In this line: A charm magnetic that nowhere else prevails." The charm In that line certainly pre vails nowhere else. And then he will tremble and cry out under the combined poetic beauty, the charm, and the music of this ensuing couplet on the Whitfield House In Guilford: "Within Its wulls how many things took place . . - . - , That touched the future oUr fathers dared .. to ftwje.'.' . A lovely lyrlc- of ten '' stauxas starts jft this Way: ;. . .J. . .,:.'.. j 'It.efe waaia wedding lqng ago On Menunkatuck'e shorei But who were wed no records show, Or what they married for",': Isn't It strange that there was no record to show what they married fori t he author, seeing this point, tries to bridge over the chasm With his power ful imagination. Some reason good they-doubless knew, And. aa Is -often said, y. , Pel haps they were "tond lovers true, And that was why they wed." Pausing to thank hlmfor this charit able isuiptJslt ton, let us pass eagerly, to the,riemoeirilfctn , it Is called .'The'-Stone --House' Wedding, A rather . rocky nome, , But It Is thi usual heeding J hat all historians ,tlalm. He goes on to Say .that It was perhaps about July of some summer when This matrimonial deed was aone, ana that the happy couple he doesn't say they were happy, but being "lovers true" of course they were sat down to a wholesome -meul of pork and pease; and he concludes the poem with this high flight: Then thanks to pork and pease For making so much sure, I'lie world will feel far more at ease To have that face secure." Guilford Green mdst be a great place. Of It he says: On anniversary days Jl ih the now-wow ground Where all the natives from far and near arc lounu. Again: 'And the aunts and uncles, And all the cousins, too, Ate nocking out euch other And lola of ta.klng do. Ills pronunciation of the second last word In thia excerpt from a Guilford Reminiscence is refreshing: Were gates unhlnti'd or door bells rung, As pranks mischievous played." He closes a sonorous and effective poem on "The Editor" with these pa thetic linos: "And last, let not lcaat. yeur in and yea out, lie Uuiih his subMcrllicrs for pay. And fur Hie dollar yiu owe him, no doubt, Tie poor fellow is) suffering to-day." But all the foregoing la comparative ly llaht stuff when we consider the deeD nhilosoDhy running through this oaeun on the "Under Dog," the whole ol which we reproduce here, Just to show the whole Southern people as one man what can be done by the bard of Guilford: Till; UNDER DOG.

He dedicates this vol ume of 24 pages, "To the great Common People, who produce tne wealth ana pay the taxes of organised society InJ times of peace ana tight its battle in times of war."

"The purpose of the writer." he says, "has been to dem onstrate frctti historical facts that the Anglo-Saxon race Is the only race that has ever had a true conception or re publican Institutions or solved correct ly the problem of self-government" This thesis he treats in a good scnoi- arly style, and the book is well worth the attention or students or government and history.

Of the verses in this little volume ot 92 pages, some are meritorious, but most of them fall entirely to rouse me poetic emotions. They seem to be tour de force; the authors surely said to euch other, "Go to, now, let Us write some poems."

Crothers, 216 Fourth Ave., New York; $1.75. One of the few men In the world who are producing first rate literature Is the poet, the dramatist, the philosopher, Maurice Maeterlinck. There seems to be no end to the variety of his genius. From the simplest, most beautiful, verse to philosoph ca. Inquiries llto happiness, justice, love, wisdom and destiny he moves as the master. Into the mouth of the forsaken girl, who is dying and whom her sister asks what shall be told her false lover snouta ne ever return, he puts these words of ex quisite tenderness and pathos: "Ee s"il m' Interroge encore Pur la dernlero heurc? Dites -lilt que Jai souii Ue peur qull ne pleure." One would not expect the mind of that writer or of the author of "The Life of the Bee" to be attracted by study of abstract subjects. But genlua cannot be accounted for. The nresent treatise arrives by a new route at the old conclusion that truth, or goodness, and happiness are otic. The outposts or his march are cerhans in this sentence: "God, who must be at least as hlah as the hla-heat thoughts He has Implanted In the best of men,- will withhold His smile from those whose sole desire has been to please Him;-and they only who. have done gooa ior tne saae oi gwu, and as though He existed not; they only who have loved virtue more than they loved God Himseii. snau oc i lowed to stahd by His siae.- Whoever loves Kood writing as suon wimevpr has suffered and seeks for iiannincRM as the end In life, will find great Joy und comtort m mi po- M Mr. Tapp Doing - Business in North Carolina Mr. H.
