T.rcs~eA into q paragraph We're
waste af stationery fise only evil of
progixity. IL would be trifing one,
bat the time Of the pablie Is shame
fally taxed By scribblers, who either
regard verbosity as . Eferzry accom-
pllshment. or are too lazy to con-
dense. Some nen think IN short
kaad, and in committing their
thoughts to paper never use phrase
that does not tell; but even diffusive
writers may, if they choose, solidify
what they write by critical revision.
If authors hal to pay for each word
IN their works at the telegraphic
rates, what a blessing it would be
to the reading world The Ledger
has often thought that it would be
good idea for young writers, who
are troubled with verbal fux, to
try course of Lightning dispatches
as a cure. The literary market
should be, in some respects, sub
jected to the same rules as the grain
morket. Wheat and chaf cannot be
sold together at the Corn Exchange,
why should few seeds of thoughts,
half smothered iii verbal husks, be
mcrchantable in the marts Of litcra.
ture ?
Contributors to newspapers should
be especially careful to avoid wordi-
ness. Articles containing much that
is valuable and interesting are often
rejected because of this fault. Edi-
tors lave no time to prune such pro-
ductions, and hence they are con-
signed to the waste. basket. In the
days Of the patriarchs, when the
lives OF men were measured by CELL
turics, time might have been spared
for such a process, but in this age,
when lifetime is limited to three
score years and ten, and more brain
work has to be crowded into it than
Methuselah ever dreamed of, no
man can afford TO correct and put in
shape the loosely expressed ideas of
his fellows, unless he does it profess
sionalIy and is paid for it.
Our advice to all writers whose
besctting sin is prosiness, may be
put into six words: Make the tele-
graphic system your model. This
hint is intended for all who desire to
inform, interest or amuse the busy
public, from Presidents to Para
graphists.-N Y. Ledger.

"-roREFArHERs, DAY.n

To-day il the anniversary of the land
ing Of the Pilgrims:at Plymouth in 1870.
I. is a day which the descendants Of the
Puritans, wherever they may be, hold
in r%evsrsntial observance. In old Ply
mouth to-day still abound the ancient
family names Of Bradford, Standish,
winslow and others Of those whs came
over from England in the noted cid
ship Mayfowsr, when she made her ad-
vent on that "stern and roek.bsund
coast" and her hardy little band Of sd.
yentursrs propelled their little boat
from the quaint modelled vessel, up the
tortuous channel, crooked as the San
Joaquin River, among the mud fats,
until they landed IN Plymouth Rssk.
Around the festive board to-day, in ae-
cordancs with the old annual custom,
the Sons and daughters Of the Pilgrims
are gathered together, and the children
Of each family meet once moro with
their parents in social family reunion.
Religious services at the churches per-
hsps commemorate the day, but At the
dinner table, depend upon IL, the Ply
msutheans have their regular "suceo-
fash" and not unlikely more or less
roast turkey, plum pudding, uinee pie,
and such like good things. A ball to-
night is inevitable.
Are there any to object to the agree
able little family arrangements Of which
We have spoksn7 We think not. No
body cares IL there 10. The true princi-
pies OF freedom originated BY those
bilgs-watsr scented old Pilgrims still
remain in full force and effect through
out these United States. Those prin-
ciplss cropped out at Bunker Hill. They
were effectively promulgated during the
war Of 1912, were mors or less visible
In the war Of tho rebellion, and dem
onstratsd their culminatirs properties
in the election Of Ulysses 8. Grant to
rule over the d~estinies Of the American
nation. These principles demand and
receive for N glorious old national
flag, the stars and stripes, full and sx-
act respect on land and sea throughout
the world, and ever will while this, the
greatest and most powerful republic in
all creation, exists.
1.-THE Pilgrim spirit has not hsd;
It walks in Moons broad light.
And it watches the bed Of the glorious dead,
With the holy stars By night.
1t watches the bed Of the brave who have
bled,
And shall guard that ics.hound shore,
Till the waves Of the bay where the May
flower lay
Shall foam and freeze no more"

support the family. She has lately bsea
selling sewing machiass, and sa last
Wednesday started on . trip through
the surrounding country for that pur-
pose, leaving her children 10 charge Of
. girl named Barber, aged eighteen
years, whom she hired for the purpose.
In the evening the youngest child cried
and was ~fretful, when, it is said, Barber
threw it upon the floor and stamped
upon it until it was almost l~ifsless.
Then taking the little one up she held
its hands upon = hot stove until they
were terribly burned. The child was
too far gone to utter more than . faint
scream while it was being roasted.
Barber then threatened to throw it into
a we'll, when the other children, whs
had witnessed tho whole thing, told her
that il she did they would tell their
mother. The girl then wrapped the
child in q blanket or bed-quilt and
placed it in q bed, where it was found
