Yet. just as SHAKESPEARE and Dryden wrote the
finest English works, just do some of our pres
cut authors present fine abilities.
Who will criticse the works OF Mrs. Henry
Wood TO their detrimentf Yet, her East Lynn"
Is purely sensational.
No one who has the slightest knowledge of good
literature will debase himself by reading the SO
called detective stories.
As for the modern girls" my friend. give them
credit for ms much sense ns the modern boys"
No lady, assert, will read your loving love sto-
ries. Girls should he watched over and guided by
their parents and II the parents be moral and ed
uCated, rest assured the girl will he, she has no
hours to while away at club rooms in rendinI
trashy fiction. As long as Our land Is overrun by
Ignorant foreigners, just so long will this state of
affairs exist This age will be other ages. The
good will live, the trash will be forgotten in the
next age.

they were Hoosers. Matte Elliott and Charlie
Clemens were experimenting affairs, and by the
time had somewhat recovered from my astonish-
LltHtt ~ most Oh chffhKeh were driven up 10
gate. They all tried to tell me Mt once that we
were going 10 picnic nj Fiat Rock Cave, not many
miles from here. We had pleasant drive and
soon after arriving mt our destination John Schu-
neman made nice opening speech and he and
the e. c. girls were friends once moro We went
out boating. and Florence and Nettie Emerson
sang for us. j. II. Smith was the funny man. and
E. Lula Julian took notes of everything that
occurred. We had the incest of dinners, and
broke found that had been dreaming, and had
fallen out Of the hammock But was SO disap-
pointed that the Indiana Reunion was all dream.
