fore the Fine
the Hotel Fontenelle.
Thie rhan wrote his first poem, not
on a sheet of paper, but on the blade
of a hoe. I hat was some ntteen or
more years ago, even before paper
was high.
Neihardt was hoeing potatoes. Lne
rhythm of the hoe suggested verse, so
when he got hot and thirsty and tired
he sat down to rest, and while he
rested he scribbled on the blade of
that hoe what he called "The Song of
the Hoe."
That night he transcribed it on nice
white paper, bought a 2-cent stamp
and mailed it to the Youth's Com
panion. He wondered if the Com
panion might have the crust to use
it. The Companion had crust all
right, for soon the mail brought a
check for $14.
a i That was fine, for the poem scarcely
contained fourteen lines, and a dollar
, a line was irettine this chap of the
potato field almost into the class of
Roosevelt for price.
When the potatoes were dug and
winter set in, Neihardt went skating.
While cutting the back circle of the
Dutch roll or something he plunged
into a hole where the icemen had
been cutting away their summer)
sunnlv hut that had no effect on his
poetic genius. The rhythm his soul
had caught from those exhilirating
back strokes was by no means lost
while splashing around in the frigid
waters, so he went home and wrote
"The Skating Song.
Again the Youth's Companion
bought it. ,
Ma. hf struck out into new fields.
He began to write short stories ot
Indian life and they sold like waf
fles and 50-cent butter.
Soon the Overland, McClnre's, the
American, Putnam's, Onting, Cen
tury and other magazines were tak
ing his production. Volumes of verse,
short stories and novels began to ap
pear. New York took him in. lion
ized him, made him a member of
the Authors' club, and, incidentally,
yielded up one of its fair daughters,
a sculptress, whom Neihardt brought
back to Bancroft, Neb., as a bride.
Bowling Alleys Are to Be
Placed in Y. M. C. A. Basement
Bowling alleys costing $5,000 are to
be installed in the basement of the
Young Men's Christian association in

Book store. Work is to start as soon
as the present lease of the book store
expires, which is said to be in a very
short time. While the alleys will be
primarily for the members of the as
sociation, it is planned to let outsid
ers use them upon the payment of a
nominal charge.
The other half of the basement,
formerly occupied by the Omaha
Electric Light and Power company,
is to be remodelled into a public ser
vice comfort station. Work on this
will begin in the next two weeks, E.
F. Denison, general secretary, stated.

sunlit summer days, nights when the wind howls,
flickering light, the twinkling of the stars, storms, the
songs of birds, the buzzing of insects, the murmuring

everything and all that is needed is to bring music and
