Some lailiea were discussing the origin
of certain slang phrases, and one of the !
group who never used any but the most •
perfect English, said that she trad become
quite interested in tracing some of these.
She said that with the aid of some adepts
iu slanology she hail succeeded iu finding
some simple or remote reason for the ex
istence of some of these current expres
sions, but said that no questioning had
ever found any origin for “You’re talking
.through your hat!" It is said that the
slang of today becomes the language of
tomorrow, and if this is true, (let us hope
It is net,(time is not wasted in keeping in
Inarm;; not speaking—distance of some
strong phrases. Apropos of this we won
der if Mr. Kiley’s poem has any responsi
bility for that pet compliment of the up
to-date youth- "Slii’s a peach!"
Certainly if such is the ease, the expres
sion has at hast a beautiful origin, as the
following dainty verses prove:
IIIE FIRST .PEACH.
The ripest peach is the highest on the
tree;
(And so tier love beyond the reach of me
Is dearest in my sight. Sweet breeze, bow
tiler heart down to me, where 1 worship
I, now.
She looms aloft where every eye may see
The ripest peach is highest on the tree.
Such fruitage as her love 1 know, alas!
1 may qot reach here from the orchard
grass.
I drink tiie sunshine showered past her
lips,
As roses drain the dew drop as 'it drips.
The ripeet peach is highest on the tree
v\nd so our eyes gaze up eagerly.
'Why- why do 1 not turn away in wrath,
And pluck some heart here ranging in my
path?
Love's -lower bowers bend with them—but
ah me!
The ripest peach is highest on the tree.
—James Whitcomb Riley.
We often hear of the wonderful imagi
nary power of the poet’s mind, and we are
prepared to believe in it to any degree
when we remember that the author of
"Home, Sweet Home," never had a’home,
and that James Whitcomb Riley’s wife
lived only in “An Old Sweetheart of
Mine." After reading this poem, lit is a
little disappointing to learn that Mr. Riley
has never been married, but as this is said
•to be his only fault, and is one that yet be
remedied, it will be possible to forgive
him on the condition .that he write a
poem just as beautiful to his real sweet
heart when he finds her.

HOOSIER POET
AUTOBIOGRAPHY
Interesting Sketch of James
Whitcomb Riley Written
by Himself.
Hi COMIS TOMORROW,
And Will Favor Macon With a Lec
ture—He Will Have a Very
Large Audience.
The unhappy subject of this sketch was
born so long ago that he persists in never
referring to the date. Citizens of his na
tive town of Greenfield, Indiana, while
warmly welcoming his advent. *were no
less demonstrative, some few years since’,
to “speed the parting guest.” It seems, 'in
fact, 'that as they came to know him bet
ter the more resigned they were to give
him up. He was ill-starred from the very
cradle, it apears. One day, while but a
toddler, he climbed, unseen, to an open
window where sotjie potted flowers were
ranged, and while leaning from his high
chair far out, to catch some dainty, gilded
butterfly, perchance, he lost his footing
and with a piercing shriek fell headlong
to the graveled walk below; and when an
instant later the affrighted parents picked
him up, he was—he was a poet.
nro
The father of young Riley was a lawyer
of large practice, who used, in moments of
deep thought, to regard this boy as the
worst ease he ever had. This may have
been the reason that, in time, he insisted
on his reading law, which the boy really
tried to do; but, finding that Political
Economy and Blacstone didn’t rhyme, he
slid out of the office one hot, sultry after
noon and ran away with a patent medi
cine and concert wagon, from the tail-end
of which he was discovered, by some rela
tives of his in the next town, violently
abusing a bass drum. This was a proud
moment for the boy; nor did his peculiar
presence of mifid entirely desert him till
all the county fairs wore over of rthe sea
son. Then, afar off, among strangers in a
strange state, he thought it would be fine
to make a flying visit home. But he
couldn’t fly. Fortunately in former years
he had purloined some knowledge of a
trade. He could paint a sign—or a house
—or a tin roof— if some one else would
furnish him the paint,—and one of Riley’s
hand-painted picket fences was a rapture
to the most exacting eye. Yet, through
all his stress and trial, he preserved a
simple, joyous nature, 'together with an
ever-widening love of men and things in
general. He made friends, and money,
too—enough at last to gratify the highest
ambition of his life, namely, to own an
overcoat with fur around the tail of it.
He then giroped his way back home, and
worked for nothing on a little country pa
per that did not long survive the blow.
Again excusing himself, he took his sappy
paragraphs and poetry to-another paper
and .mother town, and there did better
till he spoilt it all by devising a. Poe-poem
fraud, by which he lost his job; and, in
disgrace and humiliation shoe-mouth deep,
his feelings gave way beneath his feet, and
his heart broke with a loud report. Sq,
the true poet was born. “He comes high,
but we had to have him!” So, haply,
soliloquizes his first literary patron, Judge
E. B. Martindale, then proprietor of the
Indianapolis Journal, with which paper
Mr. Riley and his better work are still
identified.
Os the poet's present personnel we need
speak but briefly. His dress is at once
elegant and paid for. It is even less pic
turesque than all-wool. Not liking hair
particularly, he wears but little, and that
of the mildest shade. He is a good speak
er —when spoken to—but -a much better
listener, and often longs to change places
with his audience so that he also may re
tire. In his writings he probably shows
at his best. Tie tries to, jn.yway. Know
ing the manifold faux passes and “breaks”
in this life of ours, his songs are sympa
thetic and sincere. Speaking coyly of him
self one day. he said: “I write from the
heart; that’s one thing I like about me. I
may not write a good hand, and my ‘copy’
may occasionally get mixed up with the
market reports; but all the same, what
challenges my admiration is that humane
peculiarity of mine, i. e., —writing from the
heart —and therefore to the heart.”

ORATORICAL DEBATE.
All Arrangements Indicate Great Gathering
of Students.
The intercollegiate oratorical debate,- to
be held between the University of Georgia
and Mercer University on May 20th, in
Atlanta, will be a notable occasion in the
history of these two institutions. Two de
baters from each university will be chosen,
and will vie with each other regarding the
question which will be chosen as the one
to be discussed. The University of Geor
gia will be represented by Mr. Wedding
ton and Mr. Clifford Walker, and Mercer
by Mr. Flannigan and Mr. J. R. Straton.
The preliminary preparations have been
made, and when the time arrives for the
debate the participants will be ready for
the contest. Already muoh rivalry has
sprung up between the two educational
institutions, and the competition 'will 'be
at fever heat in May.
The debate wiil be held in the Grand
opera house in Atlanta on the night of one
of the days when the intercollegiate track
meet will be held. This will bring to
gether a large number of college men, and
it is said that there wiil be more than
have ever been in .Atlanta before. It is
estimated that 1.000 students wil be there
to attend the track events held during the
day, and many more will be attracted by
the debate to be held at night.
The two colleges have met before in
oratorical contests, but the present one
promises to be the most interesting that
has yet been held by the institutions. Last
year the state oratorical 'Contest brought
these two colleges together, and Mercer
won over all.
The University of Georgia intend; this
year to win back the honors lost, and gain
a greater success than was before won by
Mercer. The debaters are well known
students, and have high reputations as
spoakes, and the eon test will be a spiri ted
one. The question will be announced later.

Leighton's True Art.
An eminent American artist, who is now
an old man, has never forgotten the lesson
be learned from Sir Frederick Leighton in
his youth. Leighton was then a brilliant
and fascinating young painter, whoso fu
ture was still before him. He was at wowk
upon an Italian landscape or upon a pit.
ture with an Italian background. In that'
background he was anxious to introduce
an olive tree. He remembered a. tree which
he had seen in the south of Italy and re
membered it quite distinctly enough to
reproduce it, but he was not content to
trust his memory.
The American artist remembers how
Leighton camo into a case in Rome on his
way to southern Italy, making the long
journey from England for the express pur
pose of studying that olive tree and-of tak
ing home an exact sketch of it, and ho re
members also how, four or five weeks
later, the ardent young Englishman, bril
liant, enthusiastic, versatile, but with a
capacity for taking pains, reappeared with
a wonderful sketch of the oli\e tree, upor
which ho had spent days of unbroken ob
servation and work. From this little in
cident the American student learned a Jes
| son which he never forgot, and which
i went far to st cure the success which came
to hint in la.tr life. The story illustrates
the great quality which lies behind all real
success, alike for the man of genius and
the man of talent. Outlook.
