The English it a “glorified dishpan.” He decided at once that, returning to America, he would have one built for If. And so he did. It was 7 feet long, 4 feet wide, of mahogany and weighed 1 pounds. F "When it was installed, he invited various of his friends try it and so much did they like it that they told the | papers about it. | " Immediately controversy began to rage. Doctors declared | ‘the bathtub “invited rheumatic fever, phthisis and inflam- “mation of the lungs,” according to H. L. Mencken, Thomp- gon’s biographer. Thompson was ridiculed as one who corrupt his fellow countrymen by leading them into} ge of the effete British aristocracy.

FK On the Issue of Americanism There Can Be No Compromise in Prison ANK CRANE (Copyright, 1919, by Vrank Crane) The bitterest reproach that will be made by the Master when we appear before Him for our final reckoning is that when He was sick and in prison we visited Him not, And we are also not left in doubt concern ing where to find Him; for we find Him in the person of one of the least of these, His brethren. That is to say, any human being is the tabernacle of God, and the surest and most acceptable way to serve God is to serve men, This thought has come to me most polg- nantly as I have just read a letter telling about a friend of mine, and of yours, and of all the world, who is now sick and lonely, and needs our visitation. I am not going to tell you his name, for he is sensitive, and if this writing meets his eye I would not want it to add | to his distress, Enough for you to know he is, as I said, a Friend of the World. That is because he is a poet. Endowed with extraordinary capacity, he did not turn his strength toward making beauty, which the world needs more than | money, but toward making money. There are few of us who read at all who are not his debtor. things of the spirit. He has made, for those elusive elements of the beautiful thath aunt all our minds, a local habitation and a name. Now he is sick. sort in the mountains, struggling with the He has given us the | He is up at a health re- | cciheveniectnaieinactanssceninasaai | Great White Plague. His health, never ro- bust, is now precarious. He has no inoney, for poetry is not the road to wealth. All his life he has gone his way singimg his songs and cheering us all up. I wonder if you wouldn’t like to help? If it had been in your power to relieve the necessities of ltobert Louis Stevenson in those lonely days preceding his death, would you not have esteemed it a privilege? Is there any better exchange that we can | make, and better bargain, than to give of our material goods in return for the bene- dictions of beauty? Our poet friend needs help. If I were a | rich man, I would be too selfish to let any one share with me jn the privilege of reliev- ing his necessities all by myself. But I am not rich, except in friends. Therefore, I am asking my friends now, if - they want to make an investigation which | will bear compound interest of satisfaction | during this life, and a payment ten times | over of the principal on the Day of Judg- ment, to send along their contribution to me. You can send it to me in care of this newspaper. J will guarantee that it reaches | its proper destination, and if you will send your name and address I will give you a receipt for the money sent. I do not often make such a plea as this, in fact I do not know that I have ever done it before; but in this I think I am justified, for your response will not only bless the re- ' cipient, but doubly bless the giver.
