CAPT. JACK CRAWFORD.
The Poet-Scout.
Capt. Jack Crawford, who has long been prominent as soldier, poet and entertainer, has achieved a new success in his article in the Munsey Magazine of February, entitled “The Last of the Indian Chiefs.” This article is intensely interesting and discloses some astonishing facts with reference to certain supposedly great Indian warriors, who were in reality the creations of sensationalists and dime novel writers. It is so seldom we meet a man with courage enough to deliver facts which turn a hero into a fake, that we are refreshed with the very presence of such a man.
We are glad to have the privilege to present to our readers this tender and beautiful little poem from the pen of the Poet-Scout.
WAITING IN THE ANTE-ROOM.
I saw her face in the pansy,
I caught her breath in the rose,
And my heart went out on a fine love scout
To the land where the daisy grows.
In the brook I heard her laughter
Like an anthem from afar,
