'COURAGE’ IS Distinguished Prisoner Writes Poem When Xtold That Attorney General Denied Him Parole. CONVICTS ARE SYMPATHETIC Author'Gives No Outward Sign of Keen Disappointment, Declares Penitentiary Inmates. Julian Hawthorne, novelist, poet, philosopher, in the Atlanta Federal prison, was a very characteristic Ju lian Hawthorne at the moment when he learned that Attorney General Mc- Reynolds had denied him the freedom which the parole board recommended and which he had frankly anticipated. Hawthorne read a newspaper ac count of the official action. For a long time he stared at the story, which was a very short story. Then, without a word to the men near him. he went Into his cellroom, and lay on his cot. For half an hour he meditated. Then he arose, and wrote a poem that will be published in the next iasue of Good words, the prison paper. The poem is entitled "Courage.” It is a short verse of Hawthorne's typical pentameter style, and chock full of Hawthorne's typical philos?- >hy of optimism, Hawthorne Keeps Silent. All this is the story that Haw- home’s fellow prisoners tell of the ncident two weeks ago, when the lews first came to the prison that he Attorney General had blasted the lopes of the distinguished prisoner, iawthorne himself would say nothing f it, maintaining a consistent silence oncerning his personal affairs, as he las since he first came to the prison. It is generally considered among the .risoners who have come to know iav.-thorne well that he was keenly isappointed at the action of the At- orney General, especially after liends in Washington had assured im that freedom was forthcoming, nil after the parole board had acted avorably on his petition for release. ; was believed that he had even laid Ians for the period of freedom that eemed to be near. "It hurt him,' 1 said one of the pris- ners Saturday. "But he has kept it o himself. He never mentions the ubject, and it looks as If he resents he mention of it by others. When hey say anything about it, he usually lughs, and says nothing. Prisoners Sympathetic. "Well, it was only the newspapers ,ho were sure I would get out," he nswered once, however, to a man , ho said he was sorry. "It never waa he most certain thing In the world, nd I didn’t consider it as such.” There were a good many expres- ions of sympathy, Hawthorne's riends said. The tall old man is a eneral favorite in the prison. But ith it all there is no outward sign of isappointment as he sits in the midst f his fellows on the little hill over- poking the baseball diamond, his harp face set, his keen eyes squint- lg as they look out over the bright, are, sunlit field. He and Dr. W. P. Morton will he ree, by the natural expiration of their ?rms, in October.

Former Governor lias No Official Position, but Has Been Selected in Ticklish Diplo matic Work. A plain man named John Lind is in Mexico City awaiting an oppor tunity to tell the explosive and dyna mic President Huerta that President Wilson, of the United States, disap proves of him and his government. This man is not the Ambassador of the United States. He has no more an official standing than a Chinese coolie. He is a plain American citi zen come to discuss matters. President Huerta may refuse to see him. The President might tell John Lind to go back to Minnesota whence he came, and still would be on safe ground. But President Huerta will see him. and will talk to him. and will listen to what he has to say. Because John Lind, as all the world knows, is the personal representative of President Woodrow Wilson. He does not stand for the Government of the United States, nor represent any plan of in tervention or anexation. He is mere ly the ears ad mouth of Woodrow Wilson, who wants to know exactly what is going on and why. The mission on which President Wilson sent John Lind, former Gov ernor of Minnesota, to Mexico, is one of the most remarkable in diplomatic history. Holds No Office. “It is to be pointed out that Mr. Lind holds no office which is recog nized between nations,” announced dispatches from Washington. “A grave responsibility rests on his shoulders. * * * The administra tion insisted that it should be made plain that Mr. Lind was acting entire, ly in an unofficial capacity in his mission to Mexico, but that he pos sesses most extraordinary powers in speaking for President Wilson is ad mitted.” It is plain that John Lind is on a most unusual mission, to be success ful in which he must be calm, cool, careful, tactful, unruffled and all that. He must be alive to his responsibility. He must expect rebuffs. He must be honest, fearless, sincere. John Lind's friends say he is all that. His enemies concede that he is every bit of it. President Wilson was certain that John Lind would meet all requirements, and so he sent to St. Paul for him. John Lind is a former Governor of Minnesota. Years after he had served his first term, the Democrats nomi nated him again. They wanted him badly, and in the convention men tioned the name of nobody else. But Lind was on his way to Alas ka. He refused to turn back to ac cept the nomination. He refused to say yes or no. They had disregarded his wishes back home concerning a county option plank In the platform, .gmri he scornfully said nothing to their overtures to come back and be Gov ernor. Weeks passed. Election time drew near. Politicians in Minnesota were certain that Lind would run. Who ever refused a gubernatorial nomina tion with certain victory to result from it? Lind’s Refusal Firm. | But when Lind got back, he broke his silence with a firm itfusal. He would have none of the Governor ship. And it being too late for thf Democrats to rally around anyone else, the Republican Eberhardt won out. It is the same calm, imperturbable John Lind for whom President Wilson invented a job as his personal repre sentative. An unusual job it was. and President Wilson looked about for an unusual man to fill it. He de cided that his friend John Lind was the man. John IJnd comes naturally by his impassiveness. He was born in Swe den and came to America a boy of 11. when his mother and father decided, like hundreds of other Swedes, to move to the new country and try to find their fortunes in the great North west. They came over and moved into their log cabin at Goodhue, Minn. John Lind went to the common schools in his home town until he was 17. Then he taught school him self, saving his money that he might enter the University of Michigan. Then he practiced law, got married, moved to Minneapolis, held the Job of receiver in a land office, went to Con gress, lost out for re-election after three terms, served as lieutenant and quartermaster in the Twelfth Minne sota Volunteers during the war with Spain, ran for Governor and was de feated, all before 1898. But when he came back from the war. the pleased Democrats named him as their candidate for Governor, and won with him. All Minnesota knew' him by that time as a calm, self-contained, capable, good-hearted lawyer who never beat about the bush and who usually managed to call the other fellow’s bluff. Out in Minne sota they like that kind of fellow. Takes Defeat Calmly. In 1900. a bad year for Democrats, he was beaten for re-election. John Lind took his defeat calmly. He Just stuck around, practiced law, ran for Congress again, and was elected Aft^r retirement here, he worked plainly and simply and prosperously until President Wilson, knowing him for a wmrker and a plain-talking, hard-fisted person, sent for him to go to Mexico. It was in the interim, about 1910, that he refused the offer of Minnesota Democrats to make him Governor again. Mr. Lind is a man of action, cool- headed. alert, and a fighter: but above all he is silent and inscrutable. It is this quality which is going to stand him in good stead in the present sit uation. and it is the duality which no doubt proved very forceful in mov ing President Wilson to appoint him. In all the words of critcism of Mr. Lind’s mission to Mexico—and there have been many to criticise the Pres ident’s course—there has been no hint of dissatisfaction with the person al qualities of the man. It Is point ed out that Mr. Lind’s mission in Mexico will fail. He is going to tell President Huerta that President Wil son disapproves of him and his gov ernment. But none has said that it will fail because of his personality, and it is certain that it will not fail because the President’s representative talks too much. If it is to be a game of bluff, John Lind is the man to play it. FRANKLIN, N. H., Aug. 16.—The ancient New Hampshire farmhouse in which Daniel Webster was born has been reset on its old foundations and restored to look as it did in the eighteenth century when Webster was a small boy, and preparations have been made to celebrate its rehabilita tion. It is in the town of Franklin, and the celebration will take place August 28. It is expected that President Wilson will attend and deliver an address. Samuel W. McCall, former Congress man from Massachusetts, who was the principal speaker at the hun dredth anniversary of Webster’s graduation from Dartmouth College, will speak. ALLENTOWN. PA., Aug 16. — Black coffee and the high cost of living wrecked the romance of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Hauser, of Catasauqua, w ho were married three years ago, when he was 63 and she was 43. each em barking in matrimony the second time. The wife, Zenobia, has started divorce proceedings. Mrs. Hauser says she was used from life with her first husband to good black coffee. Hauser wanted his coffee ns weak as dishwater, and also objected to the bills she ran up at the store for her favorite bever age. The rackets that followed got on her nerves to such an extent that she desires to resume the state of single blessedness. The court allowed her $6 a week temporary alimony. COLUMBUS. OHIO. Aug. 16.—The State of Ohio is going into the turkey raising business. Kind o’ forced into it, as it were, because of the high price of the favored Thanksgiving bird anJ the demand from State in stitutions for the bird. The experiment was tried out a lit tle the last year, and so successful did it prove that this year practically in all of the State institutions where any chickens are kept turkeys have been added. The price of turkeys has been grad ually soaring until they have become almost too expensive for even the State of Ohio to buy. and rather than permit the wards of the State to go hungry on Thanksgiving Day the em ployee* of the different institutions began the work of hatching them. INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 16.-William H. Schmidt, 17, a horse trader, was directed to give back $70 he accepted from Tom Cavanaugh for a ’’frozen tail” horse, and return the horse to Tom Shroyer, a liveryman, when his case was heard in court. Schmidt was charged with false pretenses, in that ho represented the horse to have a useful and active fly chaser. As a matter of fact, the swatting appendage was merely or namental and utterly useless. Schmidt said he did not know the horse had a broken tall. “Why that horse was as helpless as a baby,” assorted Mrs. Cavanaugh. “We had to carry along a fly brush as well as a buggy whip everywhere we went.” \ NEW YORK, Aug. 16.—For return ing $1,000 worth of Jewelry to its owner, Miss Ella Veronica Shea, of \’o. 9<>9 Putnam ovsenue, Brooklyn, 1 was rewarded with a. dollar. Miss Shea works in a laundry. While unpacking a laundry bag re ceived from Mrs. I. Rodberg of No. 635 Decatur street, she found four diamond rings and a diamond lavall- iere. “The shock which Mrs. Rodberg got when she received the jewelry was 80 great she forgot to thank me,” said Miss Shea yesterday. *T had scarce ly got back to the office when a man came running after me with an en velope in which was a noteiof<thanks and—a dollar.” CUT THIS OUT AND MAIL TO Please send me complete list of your I Bargains.
