NEW YORK, Jan. 7—The luxuri
ous yacht Valfreyia, orignally owned
by the late Bayard Brown, eccentric
millionaire who lived on it for 36
years at Ivenhoe, has been purchas
ed by the Majarajali of Nawanager,
better known as ‘Ranji’ the Cricket
er. The vessel will be made sea
worthy again and taken to India.
Before the death of the American
recluse some months ago the Val
freyia was always, theoretically,
ready for the sea but the yacht’s bot
tom was sadly in need of repairs and
she stood in dry-dock for years. The
Maharajah bought the vessel at what
is considered a bargain rate.

MORE ON STANTON
(Continued from Page One)
tion.
His first poem, “To Lizzie’” was
written to his sweetheart when he
was 11 years old.
Soon after joining the Savannah
Morning News staff, he began con
tributing verse to the paper, and it
was of such quality that it attracted
the attention of Joel Chandler Harris,
famous author of “Uncle Remus”
stories, who then was an editorial
writer on the News.
In 1S87 Mr. Stanton began publi
cation of the Smithville News,
Smithville, Ga., where he attracted
attention with his verse. It was here
that he married Miss Loene Josey.
After a year at Smithville, Mr.
Stanton accepted an offer from John
Temple Graves, publisher of the
Rome (Ga.) Tribune, to succeed
Henry W. Grady on the staff of the
Tribune.
In the meantime, Mr. Harris had
joined the staff of the Atlanta Con
stitution and prevailed upon Mr.
Stanton to join him on that paper in
1889. He began his connection with
the Constitution, by news and feature
writing and contributing occasional
verse. The latter shortly became a
regular feature“Just From Georgia”
which continued for the balance of
his life.
The genius of Mr. Stanton perhaps
was best expressed in a comment
by a close friend, who, remarking
on the prolific output of the poet,
said: “It is one of the marvels of
literature, how Frank L. Stanton can
go on writing one or more poems
every day and touching the heights
of real poetry as often as he does.”
The character of his works and the
tremendous volume of simple songs
made it difficult for critics to select
any one as his best, but among them
was: “The World” a single stanza
of four lines:
“This world that we’re livin’ in
“Is mighty hard to beat;
“You git a thorn in every rose
“Rut ain’t the roses sweet?”
Others of his famous poems are:

SMALL SALARIES FAIL
TO DISTRICT REPORTERS
PARIS, Jan. 7. —The crop of cub
reporters covering police news, fires,
and other local “stories” in and a
bout Paris is better and brighter in
its makeup than at any other time
since the Armitice. Despite the
meager salaries doled out to news
paper workers of this category, the
profession since the war has at
tracted a surprising number of
youngsters of real talent, both as
sleuths and writers.
The proportion of university train
ed men enlisting in the ranks of
journalism has increased perceptibly.
For one thing, and in view of Paris’
increasing foreign population there
has been a demand for reporters
knowing several languages.
