THE DEAD POET.
Bb wa* tho love of art and song, And well he loved the flowery w-ay;
Tetgreat hia wrath at proapcred wrong; Wbea evil trium;.>hed day by day Then plunged he in the frajr.
And wMhi brave innocence went down Then did the vanquished find a friend.
With bim wrent juatice through the town; Ko foeman ever saw him bend; Re scorn for scorn could send.
Men said his heritsre was lost; For, bom to gentler use, hit youth
Waa wasted in rude strife; tbe cott Too great, they deemed, although,in tooth, Througb him men learned of truth.
So were bis songs but hrief and few;
Yet of some lives they were a part. And on aome souls they fell like dew;
Dead—DOW men tay: he gave to art
The epic of the heart. From "Poems and Intcriptiont," by Rich¬ ard Wataon Gilder.

IN tbe mntter of confidence games and sharper's tricks genernlly there Is nothing ncw under tbc sun. Tbe gold brick, tbe prize In fbe lottery swindle, three-card mpnte, tbe shells and the peas, arc all old enough to bc decrepit, wblcb tbey are not because tbere Is always tu be fonnd aome sturdy greenhorn to put a prop under tbem, A number of the many shrewd swindles of to-day bad tbeir origin on tbe New Orleans levee long before tbc war. The levee In the '408 was hotter tbnn any place save one of wblcb man bas ever beard. Tbere were gathered Uie scheming Northerner, tbe crafty Southerner, Ihe flash EngUsbmnn, tbc subtle French¬ man, and. In fact, thc men of nil na¬ tions wbo bad to live by their wits. It took a man In tbe old days Utile less than a week ou tbe New Oi'lrnDs levee to cut hls cye-tcetb. no niatter what backwoods or baying district hr might hall from. All gamblers and sharpers of to-day know the levee traditions and siph for the retuni of the halcyon days of their "profession¬ al" forbears ou thc low bnuks of thr Crescent C'ty.
About a month ngo "One-Armcd" Wllllam. George Gately and "Hnnk" Bowers, three thrifty Chicago gentle¬ men, cleaned up nbout 1500 from nn easy gentleman, who came frotu South¬ ern Indiana nnd r-tprcsHrd ii willUiR- ness to go down to the plnre wlirrr the tunnel had caved In. Now thrrr was an abiding suspicion In the mlml of "Honk" Bowers, who did Ihc steer¬ ing In the cnse, that George and Will¬ iam bnd "done" him out of pnrt of thr proceeds of the nent llttle transaction. It mny be snld In passlug that Hank's suspicions were right.
Two weeks nfter thc gentleman from Indlnna had pnid $iM)0 for thc privil¬ ege of trying to locate a pea Hank Bo-wers wont to Bismarck, N. P.. to "look around," Onr week ago Grorgr Gately received thc following letter from Hank:
"Dear (iroi-go: 1 gnrss I illd wiong In susportint? you and 'Our-.\riir of doing me. I guess you iverr utiiiurr and I waa mistnkrn, I was mad at the tlipe, so excuse uic for whut 1 aatd. I'll do yuu n good tum to make up. Charles I,. Morrison, n mau sev¬ enty years old. and who hnpn't Ih-oii off a farm for thirty ycnrs. Is goiug to Oblcago uext w-pt?k and will put up at Ihe Prefix on Michigan nvenur. He's Ibe richest man iu Norlh Dakota nnd Is as greon as thr grass in his owu meadows. Hr won't rarry murb money, but bin uanir on a rlirrk Is
blm with the books strong enougb novi to make blm glv<> us a cbeck for a atlD amount. Hank was right, be ain't tbi squealing kind. He won't say a wore wben be finds he's done. We cat make $1000 easy. He's cost us sev enty-five plunks now. counting oui clothes, and that's a good deal tc cougb up unless we strike big re turns."
At tbe dinner hotir Mr. Morrison ol North Dakota met Ueorge and William of Chicago again. Mr. Gately Insisted upon acting ns host once mora in thc TreUx restaurant. He and Willlanj expected before long "to visit North Dakota to look over farming propertj and then we will be tlollgbtcd lo be rome Mr. Morrison's guests, but her« you must lot us do the bonors In a bumble way."
Mr. Morrison took kindly to tht good things of life again and the din ner bill amounted to |Z2, wbich Mr Gately paid witb an air that wouW bave done credit to a Vanderbilt. Af- ter the dinner cnme tbe theater. Tbey sat In the three best seats that the nilnols afforded and Gntely paid the bill. The tliree men left tbe warmth of the foyer and passed Into the streel nt the close of the performance. "I don't kuow how you'll take It. Mr. Morrison." said Oue-Armed William, "but my friend and 1 are going to see a llttle bit of the city by electric light. Win you Join us?"
"Well, yes; glnd to. I don't sec mucb of the electric light, let alone the city, where I live," returued the Dakota farmer.
"Well, tben," said William ,"we'll go tho rounds, lint brfoi-o w-e start in, lot's step rouud lu Van Bureu street. I found out Just after dinner by a

It took a man In tbe old days Utile less than a week ou tbe New Oi'lrnDs levee to cut hls cye-tcetb. no niatter what backwoods or baying district hr might hall from.
