MAGNOLIA SUMMER OF 1909. 
The house stood 
In the green wood, 
The trees stretched out 
Protecting arms, 
To quiet all alarms. 
The leaves fluttered 
All day long, 
Like birds singing 
A welcoming. 
The house faced the West, 
And the Sun God, 
Ere he sank to rest, 
Fingered it lovingly 
From his sky canopy. 
You could look 
Upon the sea 
Heaving tumultuously; 
Blue waves, rocks and foam— 
All else was mystery. 
The lawn stretched 
Away from the door, 
And groups of trees 
With flowers between 
Studded the landscape over. 
This is a picture 
Of a home, 
An earthly Eden, 
To atone for ills 
That sink deep 
In the mind. 
And here the heart 
Its solace finds. 
Alice W. Chambers.

LiprARIAN Bingham of the Manches- 
ter library announces that the first of a 
set of President-Emeritus Eliot’s 
foot library’’ will arrive in a few days. 
Although the books are all in the library 
now in other editions, Mr. Bingham 
thinks President Eliot’s notes alone are 
well worth_the cost of new volumes. 
The Bookman does not think so at all, 
nor does the New York Times, nor, of 
course, the New York Sun. The Book- 
man says President Eliot may have fallen 
into a chemistry crucible while teaching 
that science before becoming President, 
and infers that he has never been able to 
get the kink thus obtained out of his 
mentality. “Of all the book lists ever 
made,’’ trippingly indites The Bookman 
critic, ‘‘Dr. Eliot’s are positively the 
worst, the most absurd and the most de- 
void. ..ofs critical insight: {!Muccisticnsh % 
The selection was enough to justify the 
retirement of Mr. Eliot from Harvard, 
but of course an intensely individualistic 
New Englander would naturally make a 
somewhat peculiar (Not Eliot English! ) 
selection of volumes; but no one would 
expect him to put forth such an absolute- 
ly freakish and unrelated hodgepodge as 
this.’’ So much for provincial old New 
York and an edition by the arch rival of 
them all, ColHer’s. 
The Bookman and its category forgets 
entirely that the list has been published 
only in part. 
>? 
It forgets entirely that the President 
said when he issued it that he did not in- 
clude either the Bible or the works of 
Shakespeare on his shelf because both 
should be ever on every ‘* well-read ’’ 
man’s table. 
The Breeze has great respect for Dr. 
Eliot. He is not a decrepit old man 
with a chemically-made kink in his men- 
tality; he is not the kind of man to have 
the college librabrian cull out what looks 
well and pleases Bookman critics, not the 
‘kind to go to his professors for advice; 
nor the kind to be cut off from all con- 
nection. with real live worldly issues. 
His most distinctive characteristics are 
sincerity, strength, and a_ respect for 
other people’s ideas, but he is first and 
always a man who knows his own mind. 
His name will go downin the nation’s

MASCONOMO. 
Nemo, Nemo, a dream'I have; prithee; 
A great stone hotel methinks I see 
Where the low vaulted shack now stands 
Disharmonizing the ever singing sands. 
But Nemo, come quick, rouse me, 
Masconomore, never! Mascoevermore, I see. 
_ UTOPIA. 
I have a friend which he came to me, 
And this is the way he talked: Said he— 
What would you give 
If you could live 
In such acommunity, town or tribe 
As that which I will now describe?— 
Where all the people are sober and quiet, 
And live on the plainest of wholesome diet; 
Who drink neither rum nor wine nor beer, 
But only water cool and clear; 
Where each man works with all his might 
From early morning till candle-light. 
*Tis toil that sweetens their daily bread 
And softens the pillow beneath their head. 
On Sabbath morn they all repair 
With measured step, to the place of prayer; 
Nor do they spend the rest of the day 
In stupid slumber nor listless play; 
Indulge in no idle nor foolish talk, 
Nor waste their time in the fields to walk. 
In sober reflection their time is passed, 
And a happier future they strive to forecast. 
Nor do these people appropriate 
The wealth which their toil and skill create; 
For the good of the State is their labor lent, 
In toil for others their day is spent. 
With little temptation to spend or hoard, 
They live their lives in peace and Concord. 
Such a people, I think, as you never saw, 
Where Virtue is ever sustained by law. 
Said I, ‘‘Is it possible there can be 
Such a virtuous, model community? 
Allow me to say that I doubt it, much.’* 
He replied, ‘‘ I know of several such; 
In each broad State at least one has arisen 
And its name is familiar to all—a prison.’”
