Los Angeles Dispatch to the New j York World. |; 'When I was 16 and wrote "Cur- ! few shall not right tonight!" I little; ) imagined that it was destined to make ;1 famous the little church in England: v/here its scene was laid, enrich nu- j xnerous publishers and make a fortune !. tor the men who bought the timbers i 'jpon which the old bell hung, and sold ! J souvenirs made from them," said Mrs. | 'Rose Hardwich Thrope, who wrote the ' iamous peom. "Directly, I have never received, a 1 cent from the peom, but, o?f course, it gave me a name and enabled me to .find a market for other poems I have 1 written. It also got me recognition from Queen Victoria. In cact, the people of England have shown much 1 more appreciation for my work than Jtiie people of my own country." Incident Was True. 1 ""Was the incident true which is related in the poem?"' ^ "Indeed it was and has since been proved, though I did not know it at j the time. I will be 64 \imorrow and ' I wrote 'Curfew' in my 1 GtIi year, i April 3, 1S67, when 1 was living at i Litchfield, Mich.

"Curfew attracted so much attention ( in England that Queen Victoria appointed a commission to verify the incident. The commission located the church in Chertsey and found the old bell, which had been cast in 1310. An j enterprising Englishman took the tim- j " bers and made clappers for miniature j bells which 'he sold as souvenirs o.' the : bell about which 'Curfew' was written. : .He reaped a fortune. T f~ave had my reward in the : knowledge that, the world appreciated .'he-story T told, and innumerable testimonials that I have received show Hsr Terse Called "Nonsense." * Mrs 'TArope is now living in San Diego, chough, she goes East every summer to visit her native place in irenuniscences of her early literary career. As a little girl, she says, she wrote her verses on the wrapping paper that came to the ihouse from the 3tores where her parents dealt. She | was an twcasiuudi wuiuuuwr 01 verse to the Detroit papers when she was very young and took her payment in glory. Her parents did not take kiudxy to | ) her "scribblings." "When I was about half way through with 'Curfew' she narrates, "my mother came into my room to te1.! me that a girl friend had cailoi anu i mrst go down to entertain 1 -r. "'Oh, mother!' I erclaimed, 'Can't she wait a few minutes?" ".My mcthe' was persuaded with df-1 i ucuUy, ao':e.?ting at iast my expl&ns- j tion that I had a 'sum' to do. 'Very J well.' she argeed.
