In this day of revival of poetry there may be a natural curiosity to know, whether prices for poetry have gone I up in proportion to the apparent pop ularity. I am afraid not, remarks a . writer in the Buffalo Express. Masters did not get a cent for the magazine llblicati.pn of the Spoon river poems, but he will get a few hundPdti dollars' 1 royalty from the book, and since its puccess I understand lie has been paid as much as $100 for a single poem by a a New York weekly. The usual price Is $1 a line, or $25 for a very short poem. And the "Spoon River Anthol ogy" is the most talked about book in America today, either poetry or fiction. e The London Times paid Kipling $500 i for the "Recessional," and the same for other poems at various times. Walt Mason apparently is making more money out of poetry than any other man in America today. Ile writes n poem every day in the year for a newspaper syndicate, and in a recent ihterview he says he is paid $12 each on a yearly contract, which Mr. Howells in the Editor's Easy Chair figures out to b $3,578 or thereabouts 1 a year. Mason says the most lie ever ! made in one month is $875. It was Moore and Byron who got I the really big prices for poetry, in r the days when the public gave the hon. ers to long, storyliko volumes, such as "Lalla Rookh," for which Moore re ceived 3,000 guineas, or about $15,000. Tennyson was, said to have been paid $20,000 a year by loxon for his poetic output, and James Whitcomb Itiley was offered $10,000 a year for his. The I New York Ledger paid Longfellow 1 $5,000 for "The Hanging of the Crane." I TELLS ADVENTURE IN RHYME English Airman Drops into Poetry in Describing Perilous Trip Over Enemy's Lines. In place of the colorless account of an aerial voyage by one of the many cheery British pilots, the Times of London publishes the following with tihe suggestion that cultivation of the muse may be inspired by one's prox imity to higher things. We quote a specimen of the pilot's poetic expression: "The (lay was fino and the air was still, and everything went well until the Archlibalds began to flash, and (leafen me with noisome crash. I hid ry head, I stopped my ears in vain attempts to calm my-fears; I whistled every tie I knew, and tried to think it wasn't true: Then came a pause we'd passed the zone; in fear I fin gered every bone. "Then lo! a smile o'erspread my face, for every bo.. was in its place. So things went on; wo ran our course, and turned for home no whit the worse, until three IIunlets on our stern constrained us, like the worm, to turn. Then bullets whizzed and bullets flew (as bullets very often do), while pilots I bowed their brilliant nerve with hawk ike swoop and 'orrid swerve." Japanese Cotton Industry. The export of cotton piece goods from Japan has greatly increased since the war, according to the British consul at Osaka. The mills are re- - ported to have made a bilg pr'oflt in the saie of shirtings and (drills. From May, '915, thle dinminutionl in stocks in Shanghai created a (demand for' Japa ilese goods, which inlcreased steadliiy dlring the year. The mills, however, ardopting the view that prices wold~ go) ilighier, showed no anxiety to push sales. This attitude appealrs to have hleenl justified by r'ezuits. It is repor'tedl that at tihe beginning of 1916~ the mills .were in the comfortable position of hiaving sold their output for six months ahead, and~ there is a general impres sion that the position thus gained in the' cotton pice goods markets of China and India is one which will be held. Cat's Daily Lunch a Snake, Evidently considering a day incom plete unless it includes a lunch on snake meat, a cat belonging to Charles Shiultz has set a record for snake catch ing. The Shultz residence, which is near the Indian school grounds, has been a contor f'or snakes recently. About a week ago the cat brought in a two-foot copperhead in his mouth, and after it had been killed by a mem her of the family lunched off the choice portions. Thr'ee snakes were caught on subso -luent days by the animal, and the other day he worked overtime, seour lng two.-Carlisle (Pa.) dispatch to Philadelphia Record. Birds SIlenced Fire Siren.
