The sopranos Now Bin, Dress.

In a certain prominent church choir not
far from Boston the soprano was a woman of
dashing and stylish appearance, whose toilets
were almost as much a matter of considera-
ton with her as her voice, and with whom
the preparation of a new dress sometimes
caused the preparation of an aria to suffer
sadly. The contralto, on the contrary, was
aperson who gave not much thought to her
dress, but who had, of course, to be sufficiently
serupulous about it to keep up a fair APP
pearance in the conspicuous place, within
the chancel, where the choir was stationed.
She finally made up her mine to get a new
silk gown, and chose Lavender for the color.
She contded her plans to the soprano, as a
connoisseur, and the soprano gave her much
advice about the dress in a ~patronizing
way. The getting up of the contralto's
new lavender gown was q rather slow
matter, and the soprano kept herself
posted as to its progress. When would
lit be ready to wear7 The oontralto said it
couldn't be ready before two weeks from the
next Sunday. And it wasn't, but the very
next Sunday the soprano came out in a new
and beautiful blue silk, which she announced
her intention to wear right along, and which
the contralto saw, to her CONSERVATION, would
utterly destroy her lavender and make it i'm
possible to wear it. So, with some natural
tears, the contralto put away her new gown
until such a time as the soprano should tire
of wearing her blue; and the next Sunday
the soprano, coming in blue again, and see
ing the contralto still in sober black, asked
with sweet, ingenious surprise:
why, where is your new gownT'
81 decided not to wear it,n said the CON
tralto, sadly, with a glance at the blue silk.

There are people who deplore in a melan-
choly way the loss of the ''golden age of
literature" that, they tell us, has gone for
ever. Everything today is commonplace.
There are no fine essays, no grand poems, no
wonderful dramas that will live forever, no
striking stories. The literature of today is
only 1.-THE pouring Of wine out of old bottles
INTO new," and lots of wine spilled in the
process. Our writers are busy over what
some other men thought of what some other
men said. If this be so, and in a certain
sense it is true, what is the matter? Why is
IL no are written today?
1t Is said that there are in the United States
ABOUT two thousand persons who fairly may
be reckoned as writers. Why do we not find
new Millions and Shakespeare among thcm1
We may be sure, if they were there, they
would be found. Centuries have there indi-
vidualities. There are tides in the lives of
nations. May there not now be an ebb in
the literary work of these times7 There is,
certainly "a young food" in the scientific
thought of this half of our century. The
character of this %century's thought is tech
meal, industrial, scientific. Literature is
after all, only a mode of expression. May it
not be possible that the Millions of these days
are using another mode OF expression7' Ger
tainly, if we look at a mind like Edison's, We
see an original genius taking rank beside the
grea1 creative minds OF the SO called golden
age of literature.
A hundred years ago Edison would have
shown the thought that is in him by means
OF a great poem or drama. Today it seeks
another and equally striking mode of ex.
preston. Besides this widest division Of in
tellectual life into new fields of labor may be
noted another point. The critical demand
today is for originality. We are tired Of
books about books. The wine is no better
for the new bottles-let us have new wine.
This demand has made it very difficult to say
anything new or striking. All the possible
phases of human experience have been de
scrlbed, all the situations in which men
and women may be placed have been re-
peated many times in our novels and dramas.
There is no new personal experience, other

inquiry the conductor of this scheme was
impressed with the idea of starting a weekly
paper devoted to fiction and current ltera-

month to nearly all the people on his list.
Then he sent his agents around to see how
many subscriptions they could get at twenty
five cents a month, and he found himself in
the course of a fortnight or so in possession
of a paper with a solid circulation of about
100000 copies. Just think of a project. of

The report hat Barrett will build a new
theatre in New York has more ground than
most rumors of this nature have. Barrett
was a year planning his tour with Booth.
Before he obtained Booths consent, certain
friends of Barrett's in New York who have
the utmost confidence in his Judgment, de-
sired to place him at the head of n theatre
They asked him how much money he would
require, intimating that a million was at his
service. "a million will not be enough

piece of property, l will guarantee to put up
a theatre in the heart OF it, give you the out
side 'front.', and you will get your money
back in rents OF the portion of the ground 1
will leave you. The course pursued in this
city OF building theatres fronting on streets
is suicidal, monumental, illogical"
The friends admired tho force Of this re-
mark at once, and endeavored to purchase
the block referred to, but a large property
owner stood in the way, so the deal was of,
and Barrett then perfected his arrangements
with Booth. The result of this is SO well
known that it is unnecessary to refer TO it.
The facts are only recited now because they
may give our readers an idea of the methods

construction of a new theatre in New York,

LIKE TREES.

.'MKN, like trees, begin to grow old at
the top,n thus reads an old saying; and
we might add that some men, like trees,
are awfully ''green" in their
youth, wien full of sap, than in later
years. Some men too, like trees, are
terribly cranky and crooked" Other
men, like trees, are leaving at un-
seasonable times; these men generally
have "hollow trunks" like some trees).
Men, like trees, sometimes branch out''
to such an extent that they become top
heavy and can't stand the winds of add
versity as well as the straight and firm
footed kind. Kansas men, and especi-
ally Barton county men, are like Kan
sas trees, in that they take hold of the
ground and tenaciously stick there, be-
coming more firmly rooted year by year;
standing bravely before the winters
billiards. and beneath the summers
sun; becoming toughened and hardened
in their battle for the cenquering of the
earth beneath and the elements above,
until eventually the whole land will be
made to smile and look pleasant; the
rain will be made to seek them out and
drop thankful tears upon their branch
es;" the winds Of winter will no more
bend them despondently to the ground;
because they are there to stay" and az
year by year they become more numer-
ons they are growing into resistless
power that, like an immense forest OF
lofty trees, they cannot be destroyed or
swept away. AS they begin growing
old at the top" younger and stronger
men will be growing up around them to
shelter and protect and hold the ground
they have conquered.
