AMERICAN PoErs--The year 1907 seems to
have siven birth to many Of our sweet poets-a
fact perhaps not previously noted. Wewere struck

lis, born in Portland, Me, in 1907, James Otis
Rockwell born in Connecticut in 1907; Henry
w. Longfeilou born in Portland, Me-, in 1907 ;
George Lunt, born in Ncwburyport, Mass IN
1907; and Join G.. Whittier born in Haverhll,
Mass, in 1907 OF these, all are living save
Rockwell who died in Providence, R. j., in the
