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. • • • Miss Lizzie Margarite (Hitchens, a very charming young lady from Jackson is re ceiving many social courtesies as the guest of Mrs. J.

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.” MYSTIC SHRINERS Invitation to a Big Sleeting to be Held in Atlanta.

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. FIXA.. The fas- f ’«y ERWIN’S ASSISTANT. W.

Helena, 'Mont., April IS—Companies B and C., of the Second infantry, have been ordered to be prepared to start for Mobile on Wednesday. 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.
