These he discussed separately, and 'alluded to the poetry an literary pro ductions of each period. He quoted from his poetry and In tender and endearing terms paid a worthy trib ute to the man, whom he described, as the greatest of story tellers, song writers and painter of pictures in lit erature that America has produced. Longfellow, he said, was one of the , world's most popular, but not one v of Its greatest poets. He was a lov K able man. but not a man of power. He had no enemies and none had for v ' him a passionate love two charac , terlstics of the man of, great will power. He was the poet of child hood and the masses. His work is not admired by the highly Intellec mL t jal people as it Is by the masses.
