me half to death. I was troubled with
chronic constipation and splitting
headaches, and got so dizzy the whole
world seemed to be spinning around.
"I would roll and toss at night and
get up mornings all tired out instead
of rested. My nerves were so upset
I couldn’t stated the noise of the chil

weight until I became amazingly thin
and hadn't strength to get through
with half the work that needed to
be done.
“I began taking Tanlac and gained
both weight and strength so rapidly
I could hardly believe it.
“I now weigh more and feel better
than ever before. Tanlac was a great
blessing to me.”

GOOD OLD WATCH WAS RIGHT
Smivers Might Better Have Trusted
It Than Have Put Faith in
New Alarm Clock.
The wrist watch which Smivers
wears is a relic of his days as a sec
ond looey overseas. He has a senti
mental attachment for It and will not
discard It, although its usefulness as
q timepiece has long since departed.
Smivers recently received a tele
phone call from a wealthy uncle.
Smivers has hopes that some day—
and so when uncle made an appoint
ment with him for the following morn
ing Smivers, pocketing liis pride In
his watch, and being determined to be
on time, bought a new alarm clock.
The next day he was awakened by
the new clock. Its handle said eight.
The old unreliable watch said eight
thirty. Smivers was late for his ap
pointment and uncle won’t speak to
him any more. For once the wrist
watch was correct. The new alarm
had lost half an hour in the night.—

“No, indeed, darling,” he responded,

LonpPeak Inspires Verse
In Which the Rockies
<speak for Themselyes
THERE'S A LAND
There's a Land where mountains and
glaciers
Form waters that fill up the seas;
Where canyons squeeze rivers to
ribbons
And dark forests stir in the breeze.
This Land is where both worlds are
closer—
The world of God and the world of
Man;
For their greeting point is Nature.
A language \ - all understand.
-CHARLES EDWIN HEWES.
By JOHN DICKINSON SHERMAN
HAIILES EDWIN HEWES,
poet, mystic and inn-keep
er in Tahosa valley at the
foot of Longs Beak in
Itocky Mountain National
park, serves notice on the
literary world that the
irc&yr “man-made West,” with
Nature as a mere back
ground for forest-destroying, cow
punching savages, is out of date hence-'
forth, and that a “God-made West,”
with man In his proper place and the
Rockies speaking for themselves, is
now revealed through the “New Ex
pression” verse of the revised and en
larged edition of his “Songs of the
Rockies.” Says Mr. HeWes:
“A half century ago the Western
ranges were mostly described by lit
erary travelers as mining camps, gam
bling bells, haunts of desperadoes and
the goal of the tunneling railroad engi
neer. Bret Harte, Eugene Field, Ste
venson, Bayard Taylor, and others, de
scribed more or less a very man-made
region
Where evry prospect pleases
And only man is vile.
Only a little over a decade back the
cowboy and the ‘Wild West Show’ held
public attention, and the mountains
were still a mere background for the
rough-riding genus homo.
“Today, however, the Rockies are
beginning to be appreciated for their
true worth and glory,” continues Mr.
Hewes. “In the ‘New Expression’ they
speak for themselves. We no longer
find them man-made, but God-made,
revealed in their supernal sublimity
and grandeur, the Alps and Andes of
a new and classic West. In this es
timate man Is not forgotten; he is put
In correct alignment. Instead of an
Ignorant, militant, forest-destroying, in
nocent-animal-killing, dynamite-explod
ing, cow-punching savage, he is pre
sented ns lie truly Is —refined, civil
ized, awed and humbled before the
supercreations of the great First
Cause. He is invited to so conduct
his life as to match and respond to
the pure chastity, the elevation and
the profound altitudes of the Snowy
Range, with equal virtues and lofti
ness of soul.”
The establishment of the Rocky
Mountain National park in 1915 found
the'originator of the “New Expres
sion” taking in tourists in Tahosa val
ley of the Estes Park region. Sincs
then, by official figures, there have'
been 1,264,0-42 visitors to the park, with
the result that a whole lot of people
in all parts of the country know
“Charlie” Hewes in at least one of his
several capacities. Some swear by
him as boniface and at him as poet;
doubtless some swear vice versa, inas
much as the first edition of his “Songs”
has been sold out, “though never re
viewed in the press or advertised ex
cept by mere word of mouth mention.”
There are many, of cour'-e, who
swear not at all concerning Hewes the
Mystic. Some of them are rather
awed. But it takes all kinds of peo
ple to make a world, and most of them
simply say, “How does he get that
way?” and let it go at that.
In response to my inquiry along the
same line and for the facts concern
ing the “New Expression” and its or
iginator, Mr. Hewes obligingly fur
nishes me with quite a comprehensive
memorandum and with permission “to
use it verbatim, to quote it or other
j wise.” Unfortunately there is not
i space here for it verbatim. Neverthe
j less, what follows may be considered
; uheial inside information.

It appears from the memorandum
that Mr. Hewes is of Welsh descent,
tempered with English—the Egertons
and Palmers, who are still numbered
among the peerage. His American an
cestors landed In both New England
and Virginia early in Colonial days.
He was horn in IS7O in Boone, lowa.
He worked as a railway expressman
until 1907, when with his mother and
brother lie settled on a homestead in
Tahosa valley at the foot of Longs
Beak. His schooling ended with a
brief period in a high school. “An In
tense inherent passion for books and
reading, however, put him far beyond
the average adult reader by the time
he was sixteen.”
“At the age of twenty-one in
Seattle,” says the memorandum,
“Hewes came face to face with a re
markable psychic mystery, and from
that time forward he became in every
sense of the word a Mystic. The
pages of his autobiography from this
time on exhibit a visionary and ecstatic
soul, struggling in the grasp of the
world sufficiently to rouse it to success
ful efforts for a livelihood and to
maintain a reasonably normal mental
balance.
“Foiled, apparently, almost despair
ing of his efforts to penetrate beyond
a certain point in the contemplation of
his mystery,” continues the memoran
dum, “Hewes turned to the visible
things of nature that he found about
him in his mountain retreat and poured
out liis heart and emotions upon them.
Ecstasy, prayer, worship, adoration and
many threads of mystic correspond
ence, are still in evidence in this latest
volume.”
One thing is sure: No matter how
fiercely the critics may wrangle over
the merits of liis verse, Mr. Hewes is
to be congratulated on the timeliness
of his “New Expression.” Probably
verse of all kinds was never so pop
ular as now. And certainly many
of the poets of today have cut loose
from all literary traditions of form.
Of course, being a Mystic, the poet's
choice of subjects is as chaste as the
snow-topped peaks, though there are
2GS poems on almost as many themes.
But when it comes to form —well,
here’s what Mr. Hewes' memorandum
says about that:
“Hewes’ vast and comprehensive
readings and re-readings of the world’s
literature have resulted, so far as lit
erary composition is concerned, not in
the academic gymnastics of a word
monger or verse-maker but in a pe
culiar manipulation—metre, rhyme,
measure, technique and form, all seem
to melt down into pure spiritualities.
Substitute in literature for the ceil or
the bee, the most constantly perfect
product of animate life, the peculiar
composition of those of the ‘Songs’
which are admitted to be character
istic of the ‘New Expression’ and you
will readily detect and sense an un
mistakable, distinctly perceptible, spon
taneous and constant flow of the spirit
of things. In these compositions you
will find no modem Whltmanesque or
Kiplingesque Imitations; no forms of
ode, hymn, sonnet or other ancient
modes. While all these forms are sug
gested and appear, more or less incor
porated in the text, yet the impulse
and tendency is all toward flow.
Whatever combinations of forms are
visible, simple or complicated, it is a
secondary feature, a mere vehicle
which carries the passenger of spirit.
“Do mountains, streams, canyons,
rocks speak and converse with the
human soul in some kindred mystery
of spirit? As clouds, sunshine and
shadow, storm and the wheeling plan
ets animate the inanimate, give expres
sion to the vast muteness of crag and
pinnacle, so human thought lends ani
mation to the still and silent things
through literary expression as dictated
by the genius Avhich senses the mystic
impulsions of the otherwise voiceless
spirit of things.”
“So faithfully has Hewes attended to
his gift, with his perceptions height
ened and perfected by his immense
reading, applied, unlearned and sponta
neous, as the bee selects its honey from
the flowers in the delicate and ex
quisite subtleties of pure instinct, that
If the Rocky Mountains were to be
swept from the earth tomorrow or sunk
in the depths of the sea, they would
live, sublime, inspiring and vividly vis
ioned and portrayed in the ‘Songs.’ ”
So says the memorandum.
Longs Beak also casts its afternoon
shadow on the cabin of Dean Babcock,
illustrator of “Songs.” He was born
in Canton, 111., thirty-five years ago and
homesteaded in Tahcsa valley about
the same time as the poet. He is hap
pily married, has children and has been
surveyor and park ranger. He is how
winning an enviable reputation as an
artist. In oil. black and white design
and plain and colored block-prints, he
has attracted much attention. His
painting of Mount Orton in Rocky
Mountain National park, which the fed
eral government has recently named
in honor of Col. Edward Orton, Jr.,
received high praise at the exhibition
this spring at the Columbus Gallery of
Fine Arts; it will eventually hang in
the Orton Memorial library at Ohio
State university. Of his friend and
himself the poet writes:
“At first strangers and mere ac
quaintances, they later became inti
mate neighbors and long periods of
winter and snowbound experiences de
veloped a strong friendship. While
Babcock has gone the somewhat con
ventional rounds of school, college,
American Art academy and European
atelier, yet, like Hewes, he is pos
sessed fundamentally of an inherited
genius, striving for its particular ob
ject. Perhaps no volume ever before
iu the history of art and literature,
I combining verses and sketch, was pro
duced so spontaneously, both author
i and artist working independently of
each other, yet each expressing in
their particular field the same thing.
For example, liis cover design in gold,
represents ‘The Dawn of a New Ex
pression’ —the figure of the Muse seat
ed, playing her violin in the shadow,
while on the mountains in the high
background is breaking a golden dawn.
“Thus.” concludes the poet, Mystic
! and inn-keeper, “in the tiny valley at
the foot of Longs Peak, and in what
• . as not long ago the unbroken wilder
ness, dwell the creators of a 'New Ex
. .q’ession.’ ”
Baby Was Soon
Playing With
Daddy Again
“My baby cut two teeth at 4*4 months
and cried so much I could hardly quiet
her. Really I didn’t know what to do
till a friend said give her Teethina, which
I did, and in a day or two she was laugh
ing and playing with Daddy again. She
has cut several teeth since and they never
gave her a bit of trouble,” writes Mrs.
Charles H. Partaln. 221 Shell Road. Mo
bile, Ala.
Many a distracted mother would find
comfort and relief if she would give her
baby Teethina all through Its teething
time. It soothes the Inflamed gums and
relieves every distressing symptom. *

Honors Were Even.
Jean was telling me how &he en
couraged her brother.
Nhe said, “At school when the teach
er tells Hugh to go to the board he’s
afraid until I say ‘go and try’ and
when he gets to the board he isn’t a
bit afraid.”
From another room piped up a small
boy’s voice: “Sister, don’t you always
call for me when you see a dog?”—

If You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best
Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that so many products that are ex
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain—the article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more, particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says, “Take for
example Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, a
preparation I have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re
sults, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has so large a
sale.” *•
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of Dr.
Kilmer's Swamp-Rooti is due to the fact,
so many people claim, that it fulfills al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments, corrects uri
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric acid
which causes rheumatism.
You may receive a sample bottle of
Swamp-Root by parcel post. Address Dr.
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y., and
enclose ten cents; also mention this paper.
Large and medium size bottles for sale at

“There goes an old buddy of mine,”
Perkins remarked as a man passed.
“Who is he?” asked Brown.
“Bill Bristow—poor old Bill!”
“Why ‘poor old Bill’?”
“Well, it’s this way,” Perkins ex
plained. “When the war broke out I
enlisted and Bill got married.”
“Yes, go on.”
“Well, can’t you see? I got a dis
charge more than two years ago now.”
