LITERATURE OF THE MIDDLE AGES.
(RepOrt for Glass d, by T. b

(RepOrt for Glass ID, by f. 3D.
The quaint language and still quainter manner
in which the legends and fables of the middle
ages are put together. are two things that must
command the attention of the ordinary reader
Take. for instance, the extracts form MOrte
d'Arthur given in our text book How decid-
eddy strange the wording and composition ap-
pears to us; how peculiar and outlandish when
compared with the straightforward shoulder
expressions we, of the nineteenth century, are
familiar with. 1t would be difficult to say what
our feelings or thoughts might be if, upon asking
an acquaintance his opinion of the late election,
he should answer saying: Right well, so McKin-
ley did Ohio carry: and when comes time our
president he may" or. if he happened to be a
democrat: mo force. a swart horse there be to
full well the presidents siege.'' Further on in
in our text book, we see in the neat stratagem
of Reynard, the fox, an indication that mankind
was of the same moral calibre in the dark ages
as it is at the present day. The manner in which
Reynard gets himself out of the we'll and his vic
tim into it, much to her discomfort, aptly proves
that even in early days, there were trusting ones
and those who took advantage of them. Besides
showing that cunning OftimeS gets the better of
might, the fable also proves it's author to have
been an ObServant being, gwen to studying man.
kind and its ways. A fact that rects credit
when we consider that the majority had but lit
tie taste for anything but that which savOred of
tournaments or cruSadeS. When one thinks how
few there were who displayed a taste for tera-
ture or literary work. he cannot but be in SYM
pathy with those few who tOiled. under adverse
circumstances that pOsterity might be benefited.
Their productions of verse and prose are not at
par with those of our time, but we must consider
that the world at that time was just awakening
from long sleep and starting anew to mount
the ladder of literary fame. The culture and re-
fnement, the literature and civilization of ancient
Greece and Rome had been lost almost beyond
recovery. The wild and uncouth barbarian who
swOOped down upon and wreSted from them
their power and glory. had no perception for lit
erature and it was forgotten in their savage taste
for blood and warfare. 1t was only after long
period of inactiOn that the few remaining germs,
which had Outlived years of barbarism, began to
make themselves manifest. Few and feeble in
the beginning, it is true. but spreading and null
tiplying little by little. Stronger and stronger
they grew until from the quaint and simple songs
and legends of the middle ages. literature grew
to those proportions which it has assumed at the
present day.

SECRETARY FOSTERS OPINION
Nevertheless, Mr.. Carlisle Is Reported
to Favor the Amendment Intro
duced by Senator Sherman.
Special to THE MORNING CALL.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 14-Secretary of the
Treasury Foster returned from New York
this morning. He said there was not now
any probability of his issuing bonds 10
build up the reserve. he felt he could con-
tlnue to get all the gold necessary to meet
foreign shipments for some time. The tinan-
cial world of New York was n unit in favor
of the repeal Of the Sherman silver purchase
law as remedy for gold exports.
The Senate Finance Committee has de-
eided TO report favorably Sherman's propo-
sition for an issue of fve-year 3-per-cent
bonds to maintain the gold reserve.
Sherman reported hack to the Senate
from the Committee on Finance the amend
ment suggested by himself some days ago
with reference TO the issue OF United States
3peT-cent bonds. The committee directs
that il be offered as part of the sundry civil
bill.
New York, Feb. 14-Wall street is still
agitated over the bond question to-day.
The news agencies have extended inter-
views with prominent bankers and opera
tors, but regard the following statement of
Assistant Treasurer Roberts as the most
important: ''In my judgment no bonds will
be issued by this administration"
The Wall-street Journals Washington
special says: 1t is understood Carlisle favors
the proposition introduced in the Senate by
Sherman authorizing the issue. if it should
become necessary to issue 3-peT-cent bonds.
Carlisle has doubts about the authority Of
the Secretary to issue bonds under the ex-
isting law. and for that reason is anxious
that authority should be given about which
there could be no doubt Carlisle says he
does not think an extra session Of Congress
will be called earlier than October

PURE DEMOCRACY.
Congressman ]. q. Mcguire Defines
His Policy

lHo
Nearly 200 of the faithful Democrats of
the Fourth Congressional District gathered
about the festive board at the Delmonico
Restaurant last night to do honor to their
chosen Representative to tbs United States
Congress, Hon. James G. Mcguire.
Ex-Ju9ge Ferral did the honors of the
evening, and after the menu card had been
disposed of he made a Tousing eulogistic
speech, deineating the abeness Of the Rep
resentatiye, saying that he had the grea test
regard for Democrat who could carry the
Fourth District. He was followed by Judge
Coffey and A. Sbarboro.
Hon. Stephen NJ. White sent letter re-
GREETING that he could not be present. and
deputized James Barry to act in his place.
That gentleman spoke feelIngly OF the able
ness OF Caifornia's Senator and also OF the
Congressional representative in whose
honor the banquet was given.
Hon. James G.. Mcguire rose amid pro-
longed cheers, and SAID that in Congress he
would faithfully stick to the principles of
democracy as laid down by Thomas Jeffer-
son, Equal rights to all and special prIvi-
eges to none," and that would be the
fundamental standpoint on which lie
would work during his career In
Washington. "There is no doubt" he
said, "that legislation has been so carried
on that the power has been placed IN The
hands of the few and corporations so
formed have fiourshed 20 the detrIment of
progress of the Masses" a change must be
made he declared, and for the masses
his energies would be spent during his
Congressional career. The tariff must be
regulated and his first step would be toward
removing the importtax from the necessi-
ties of life and when That was accomplished
the luxures would be taken into eonsdera-
ton His work in Congress would not be
confined to the advancement Of California
alone but To the whole nation, and for
a further evidence Of his carrying out true
Democratic ideas he asked his hearers to
look to his daily record in the legislative

The trouble was caused Chong states by

The woman's husband died some years
