FAMOUS POEMS Lanier’s Poem Tells Revenge Of Irate Slave By ELIZABETH C. JAMES 6“ HE REVENGE OF HAMISH,"” as told by Sidney Lanier hap- pened one morning long years ago in feudal Scotland. The old serv- ant Hamish was ordered by his lord, the proud McLean, to go up the hill- side and head off the deer so that they would run by his lordship's shooting stand. But the old servant Hamish was weak, for he had not yet had break- fast, so early in the morning had the hunting horn awakened him. No longer had he the strength of his youth, yet he ran as hard as he could. But the deer = ns were too quick for “ him, they bounded ¢ away and were out of sight over the hill. Fearfully Ham- ish waited; it was an hour before he had courage enough to go and tell his lord that he had let the quarry escape. { Na Anger flashed in ESEEEREEIESE the eyes of the proud McLean. Fleabeh “Come, henchmen. commands. And no stroke unless it draws blood.” When this was done the bold Mec- Lean and his men rode away to find other game. Still he lay, the servant Hamish. Then like a flash he LANIER'S STRUGGLE As poet and musician, as lec- turer and lawyer, as teacher and civil service employee, Sidney Lanier struggled to support his family and to write at the same time. His imprisonment during the Civil war left him with dis- eased lungs, so that like Poe, he died in his fortieth year. Born in Macon, Ga., in 1842, the poet grew up in an atmos- phere of learning and refinement. He was graduated from Ogle- thorpe college, where his position as a teacher was interrupted by the war. Adversity seemed determined to prevent his writing. Once he wrote to his father that it seemed right for him to devote himself to poetry, having followed it so long with so much humility. But a migration to various climates, loss of property, and a family in need were always to be consid- ered first. Lanier died in 1881, jumped to his feet, seized the child from its mother's arms, and ran toward the crag that overhung the sea. For a moment Lady McLean could say no word, then she shrieked for love of her child. The men heard and reined in their horses. She pointed toward Ham- ish now almost to the top of the hillside overhanging the sea. “A castle to the man who stops him!" she cried. Hamish Takes Revenge. But they were too late. He had reached the crag with the child in his arms. Then Hamish called down to them, ‘Let the master bare his back and take ten blows with the lash. And no stroke will count that does not draw blood.” The proud McLean slowly bent his knees. The henchmen feared to strike until Hamish called again. The blows fell. Hamish raised the child as if he would bring him back to his mother, then with a voice of hate he screamed, ‘“‘Revenge!” and holding the child aloft, he jumped over the crag into the rocky sea. The proud McLean lay on the edge of the crag looking down into the waters, while his wife lay weeping beside him. lates a condensed drama of the days of old when lord held power In direct contrast to this poem is the next selection. ney in the Blue Ridge mountains of bring a vivid picture.

This trio of voguish cos- tumes were displayed at a series of style revues held recently by the Style Creators of Chicago in the wholesale district for the edifica- tion of buyers who came from all sections of the country to gain first- hand news of fashion futures. The coat illustrated in the foreground to the right is highly significant as it bespeaks the continued importance of Persian lamb.

You see them on the new suede tall-crown fedoras and quaker hats with their imposing high crowns, When it comes to the dressier hat fashions, watch feathers! They will play a big part in the season's trim- ming program, especially colorful little ostrich tips. The very new Louis XIV tricornes have wee tips surmounting. Many uses of dainty ribbons are made in a prettily feminine man- ner. The new millinery creations may well be called “confections” with their daintily frivolous bows and flowers and feathers, embroid- eries and such. Later on, for winter social activi- ties, these wee millinery concoctions will take on a dressy mood in that they will be cunningly adorned with ostrich tips, ribbons and such. You can get cunning models in felt for early wear with your fall tailored suit. You will be enchant- ed with these miniature types, we assure you. Elasticized Fabrics Vogue A noteworthy trend in play clothes is the vogue for elasticized fabrics. Wool and cotton swim suits are elas- ticized to insure a smooth fit. Some casual sports frocks are designed with elasticized waistlines. cized panty-girdles often are worn under tennis frocks. Collars Found Smaller Collars are noticeably smaller on fur coats this year, with tailored models often seen on mink, dyed ermine and Japanese weasel coats. A few swaggers are seen with al- most no collars, while the tuxedo front panel is very popular for fall daytime models.

By M, B, Hoffman, New York State College of Agriculture, WNU Bervice Harvest time is a busy time for the fruit grower. He has pickers, and have on hand the need- ed supply of baskets, boxes, pads, Everything included in the equip- ment of harvesting and packing should be in good repair ahead of time. Ruts and rough places in the orchard roadways should be re- paired to prevent bruising the fruit when it is hauled from the orchard. The right kind of picking ladder is a big satisfaction. For peaches, prunes, and small apple and pear trees, the stepladder is desirable. A stepladder, wide at the base, nar- rowing toward the top and with a single leg for support, is the easi- est to place among the branches. For mature apple trees, the rung ladder with a wide base coms ing to a point at the top is the most satisfactory. The larger ladders should be made of light wood. wood makes an excellent ladder.

The second way to avoid weedy cream is to provide the cows enough good feed so they will not be forced to eat weeds. When cows have access to a good pasture, they will usually leave the weeds alone. If the pasture is short grain, silage, or green feed. A com- bination of these two methods is ex- cellent. Turn the cows on the weedy pasture after milking but transfer them to a good pasture or to a yard where they have access to other feed three or four hours be- fore milking. Cross-Breeding For many years American poul- trymen have, by crossing different breeds, produced chicks that show sex differences by the different col- ors of the males and females. Rhode Island Red males, for example, crossed with Barred Rock hens pro- yellow shanks and a white spot on chicks is the crossing of rapid-feath- ering Single-Comb White Leghorns with slow-feathering Single-Comb White Leghorns. The male chicks have small primary wing feathers. mary wing feathers. Cross-breeding has its limitations, however. Two breeding lines must be maintained.
