''Stories of adventure are going to be
very popular in few years, and South
America is the great field for that. The
opening up of the Transandean railway
from Venezuela to Chile and Argentine
will give that kind of literature great
impetus. All the elements are there for
striking incidents and marvellous scenes,
such as existed in our west when that
was land of novelty. That was the
material that Mayne Reid used SO sue
cessfully. Now the great railway and
commercial development is shifting the
field of exploit to South America.
''There is also revival of interest in
occultism, which is to philosophy what
the Arabian Nights and German fairy
tales were to literature Occultism is
nothing more than the folklore of ma
lions.
Views of Poetry.
As the editor sits in his large, sunny
editorial room at the top of the great
building the visitor is impressed with
the soulful personality of the man. 1t is
the poet that shows in every curving line
of his face. There is rare kindness
about the gray eyes and the mouth,
which is half concealed by mustache.
Though but little past the meridian of
life, the rich brown hair is we'll mixed

dignity. No man is better acquainted
with the poetry of the age than he, and
it is favorite topic Of discussion.

BOSTON, Jan. 24.-Hezekiah Butter
worth, poet, author, editor, stands fore
most among Boston writers for his pro-
gressive thought and work. Famous for
his Zigzag books, which have gone into
hundreds of thousands of American
homes, beloved for his poems, which
have gone all over the world, and popu-
larly known for over 20 years as the edi-
tor of The Youths Companion, Mr..
Butterworth, in his prime at the age of
SO, is now doing the most and best
work of his life. It is an inspiration to
come into contact with him.
The Balzac and Howe1Is School.
''Oh, my dear SIR he will exclaim
when the subject of literature is breach
ed, "don't you see that there are but
two themes that are now of absorbing
Understandings that appeal to the soul
and things that affect the imagination?
We are getting away from realism as
fast as the cylinders of the press can fly.
What is realism but commonplace anal
ysis Of common people? The school Of
Balzao and Howells is a thing of the
past. The people are calling for some
thing that satisfies the mind and soul. :"
The great editor mods his head impress
lively and continues:
''This is shown by the two trends in
American literature just now. One is to-
ward historic fiction, in which but little
has been done. 1t will result in the
gathering up of the myths and tradi-
tions of the past and weaving them into
romances. The other, an outgrowth and
reaction from realism, is demand for
the creative imagination. We have not

magazines that are following these new

Mr.. Cooks minute and circumstantial
account of the unspeakable crimes and
tortures inflicted on women and children
were so blood curdling as to call for the
expressions of horror from all parts
of the house. His story of the burning
of Christians while worshipping in their
own church so worked upon the feelings
of one woman that she cried out despair
ingly, "Where's God!'
The speaker paid no attention to the
interruption, except to explain that this
state of affairs had continued for years
in Bulgaria and Armenia, and that these
exhibitions of Moslem hate of Christians
have thus far been unrestrained and IN
rebuked from any quarter having the
mower to interfere.

COLDEST NIGHT YET.
One Subject Upon Which There Was No
Diversity of Opinion.

Diversity of Opinion.
Unusual interest was displayed in the
state of the weather last evening and
everyone appeared to be agreed that 1t
was the cQldest evening of the present
winter. Patrolmen donned their ear
muffs, and this would at once form a
criterion as reliable as the best Their
mometer.
Motormen were exhausted in their
efforts to describe the intensity of the
frost on their runs, and although they
were all agreed in the opinion that 1t
was the most severe night of the sea-
son, they were equally emphatic in de-
claring that their run passed the points
where the thermometer declined to
register the proper degree of frost.
Some came down Lackawanna ayenue
with eyelids frozen together and made
a vain effort at thawing themselves in
divertmg q current of warm air from
their respiratory organs.
At 10 o'clock the thermometer at
Phelps drug store registered three de-
grees below zero; at the Phoenix en-
gine house, at the east end of Lacka-
wanna avenue, six degrees below zero;
but at the west end of the avenue, nine
degrees were registered. The various
thermometers showed u steady down
ward tendency during the evening.
At 1890 o'clock this morning reports
from Dunmore indicate fifteen degrees
below zero at the Corners and nine de-
grees below zero at the Pennsylvania
Coal company's offices. Ten degrees
below We're registered at Hawley. Al
1.3O o'clock this morning ten degrees
below zero We're registered in various
parts of Scranton.

Paine's Celery Compound a
Perfect Remedy.
Better Even Than Rest and
Change for the Weary.

The more minutely all kinds of work
become subdivided, the more sameness
and monotony creep into each mans
labor.
Day after day, day after day, in the
same rut till little interest remains in
the work. and the mind and body are
gradually robbed of energy and
health elasticity. Unless something is
done the prolonged strain Is likely to
result in health failure; nervous symp-
toms appear, cares that were once
lightly cast off now stick like bnrs,
slight physical exertion tires, and the
end is complete prostration and break
ing down of some vital organ
Business men feel this, public officials,
wage-earners, housekeepers, every man
and woman whose work allows of little
or no rest and change.
At the first small beginnings of ner-
vousness or when languid feelings do
not disappear after sound night
sleep the prudent person should know
that he OF she must check this decline
in health by the use of that one genuine
nerve food and blood renewer, Paine's
celery compound.
The family physician knows it's power
over diseases of exhaustion and debility
when he orders it, as so many careful
practitioners are now doing In every
city and small town throughout the
United States.
AS soon as one has fairly begun to
use Paine's celery compound, every day
will be a firm step toward assured
health. Nervous, unhappy and feeble
persons find their flesh becomes more
solid, more healthy color takes the
place Of the jwaXy, sallow look, and
there comes clear increase in the vol
ume of the blood and an increased nor
NAL appetite because of this rapid feed
ing of the entire system. Work becomes
easier.
This searching tonic goes at once to
the very causes of nervous disaster and
breakdown. 1t is invaluable in all
wasting diseases, in all cases where un-
usual demands are made on the system.
Especially is 1t true in the case of
mothers and invalids recovering from
sickness.
Paine's celery compound has saved
thousands from mournful years OF
feebleness, from the WEAKNESS of pain
and from bodily weakness. 1t means
health and happiness.

DebNt IN the Afternoon

Debut IN the Afternoon.
The attendance at the two Kirmess
dances yesterday, afternoon and even
ing, bespeaks for a certainty the sue
cess of the enterprise beyond the expec-
tations of its most sanguine supporters
At the evening performance the thea
ter was comfortably filled, and the at
tendance in the afternoon was large,
considering that it was the initial ap-
pearance of the little tots.
The afternoon numbers consisted of
japanese, Carnival, Roses and Bees,
Hornpipe and Checker dances, which
included over 100 little performers.
Their ages ranged from s to u years,
but Notwithstanding their tender years
they accredited themselves acceptably
and delighted the spectators.
The contest and strife of each class
of dancers to outdo each other has be-
come apparent and adds new zest and
interest to the entertainment. This
spirit is not confined to the performers,
but Is shown by the audiences which
have begun to indicate their favoritism
for certain classes. This competition is
shown by the varying volumes of ap-
plause when the sets appear on the
stage, individually and in the process
sionals. The voting contest will de-
velop a new feature of strife.
The large number remaining after
last nights performance indicates that

the stage for dancing will grow in
popularity From the beginning
