I lLANGDON SMITH

AND EVOLUTION

Langdon Smith tha war corre-spondent

¬

and writer died on Wednes-day

¬

at his Brooklyn home No NewYork newspaper man was betterknown than Smith who could detscribe equally well a battle or a base-ball game says the New York PostBut the thing that he wrote whichwill live the longest because it isworth whileis iis poem Evolutionwhich has been reprinted all over thecountry The poem follows

j When you were a Tadpole and I wasi a Fish-

In the Paleiozoic timeAnd side by side on the ebbing tide

We sprawled through the ooze andslime

Or skittered with many a caudal flipThrough the depths of the Cambrian

fenMy heart was rife with the joy of life

For I loved you even thenI

Mindless we lived and mindless weloved

And mindless at last we diedThe world turned on in the lathe cf

timeThe hot lands heaved amain

Till we caught our breath from thewomb of death

And crept into light again I

We were Amphibians scaled and taled

And drab as a dead mans handWe coiled at ease neath the dripping

treesOr trailed through the mud and

sand-Croaking and blind with our three

clawed feetWriting a language dumb

With never a spark in the empty darkTo hint at a life to come

Ye happy we lived and happy weloved

And happy we died once moreOur forms were rolled in the clinging

moldOf a Neocomian shore

The eons came and the eons fledAnd the sleep that wrapped us fast

Was riven away in a newer dayAnd the night of death was past

Then light and swift through the jun-gle

¬

treesWe swung in our airy flights

Or breathed in the balms of the frond-ed palms i I

IF the hush of the moonless nightAnd oh what beautiful years were 1

theseWhen our hearts clung each to each

When life was filled and our sensesthrilled-

In the first faint dawn of speechThus life by life and love by love

We passed through the cyclesstrange

And breath by breath and death bydeath

We followed the chain of changeTill there came a time in the law of

life-Whenv over the nursing sod

The shadows broke and the soulawoke-

Inr

a strange dim dream of God-

I was thewed like an Auroch bullAnd tusked like the great Cave

BearAnd you my sweet from head to feet

Were gowned in your glorious HairDeep in the gloom of a fireless cave

When the night fell oer the plainAnd the moon hung red oer the river-

bedWe mumbled the bones of the slain-

I hintflaked a to a cutting edgeAnd shaped it with brutish craft-

I broke a shank from the woodlanddank

And fitted it head and haftThen I hid me close to the reedy tarn

Where the mammoth came to drinkThrough brawn and bone I drove the

stoneAnd slew him upon the brink

Loud I howled through the moonlitwastes

Loud answered our kith and kinFrom west and east to the crimson

feastThe clan came trooping in

Oer joint and gristle and padded hoofWe fought and clawed and tore

And cheek by jowl with many a growlWe talked the marvel oer-

I carved that fight on a reindeer boneWith rude and hairy hand-

I pictured his fall on the cavern wallThat men might understand-

For we lived by blood and the right ofmight

Ere human laws were drawnAnd the Age of Sin did not begin

Till our brutal tusks were gone

And that was a million years agoIn a time that no man knows

Yet here tonight in the mellow lightWe sit at Delmonicos-

YourI

eyes are deep as the Devonsprings

Your hair is as dark as jetYour years are few your life is new

Your sould untried and yetOur trail is on the Kimmeridge clay

And the scarp of the Purbeck flagsWe have left our bones in the Bag

shot stonesAnd deep in the Coraline crags

Our love is old our lives are oldAnd death shall come amain

Should it come today what man mayI say

We shall not live againGod wrought our souls from the Trem

adoc bedsAnd furnished them wings to fly

He sowed our spawn in the worldsdim dawn

And I know that it shall not die

r

Though cities have sprung above thegraves

Where the crookboned men madewar

And the oxwain creaks oer the bur ¬

ied cavesWhere the mummied mammoths are

Then as we linger at luncheon hereOer many a dainty dish

Let us drink anew to the time whenyou-

Verea Tadpole and I was a Fish

tHER EASTER BONNET

New York TimesIt was at the Easter service

When the lilies hid the Latin-In the pew we sat together-

She was gowned in amber satinAnd she shared her hymn book with

meIBut my eyes were not upon it

I was gazing fascinated z

At her wondrous Easter bonnet-It

Vwas crushed and curved and crin ¬

kledInto strange and sudden angles-

It was swathed with yards of chiffon-It was hung with glittering span

files lThere were bows of lace and ribbon

And a dozen buckles on itAnd a wreath of crimson roses

Crownedi that stunning Easter bon ¬

net1

I had meant to pop the questionWalking home from church that

morning-And the ring was in my pocket

But her chapeau was a warning-For I knew the modest income

That I made by writing sonnetsNever would suffice to kesp her

In those gorgeous Easter bonnets

TELEGRAPH TO THEODORE

If the ship of state need caulkingOr the lions tail a twist-

If the Senators are balkingIf a silver spoon is missed-

If theres plague in HonoluluIf theres trouble in the cup

Why just write to Mr RooseveltAnd hell fix the matter up

If they lynch a coon in Texas-If the green bugs in the wheat

If theres anything to vex usIf youre troubled with cold feet

If your dinner isnt readyOr youre feeling rather dry

Send a telegram to TeddyAnd youll get a hot reply-

If theres too much rain in Kansas-Or its dry in Tennessee

If a summer cyclone fans usOr if Towser has a flea v

If your sweethearts proven fickleIf you want to know the score

If you get a punctured nickelDrop a line to Theodore

If you need another member-Of the Ananias Club

If youre sunstruck in December-If youre suffering for grub-

If the railroad rates are higherOr the beef trust gets too gay

Ring up Roosevelt t on the wireAnd therell be the deuce to pay

1

If the stork dont come in your path-If we lose to the Maroons

If Ben Tillmans on the warpath-Or Marias full of prunes-

If the troops shoot up a cityOr you cannot pay your rent

Take a lesson from this dittyWrite to Roosevelt President

If theres scandal in PeoriaOr the citys filled with graft

Or if Storer tells a storyOr theyre knocking on Bill Taft-

If a panic hits the nation-Or they loose thedogs or war

It the world needs a vacation-Put it up to Theodore
