But IL the didactic novel offends against
the laws OF art. the pseudo-realistic novel
offends against the laws of decency. One
is amazed sometimes at the frequency
with which. in an age that shudders at
the outspokenness of Shakespeare and
shrlnks from the plaindealing OF Fielding.
stories only TO be described as ineffably
nasty are admitted to the chastest draw
ing room tables. Sometimes these stories
are written by young girls who prattle wit
with naive audacity of things they ought
not to know. sometimes they are written by
grown women. who believe in emancipat-
ing their sex by depriving IL OF modesty:
sometimes they are written by men. who
have the hysterical tendencies of women
or who are base enough To traffic in cor
ruption. BY whomever written. they sell:
and while they sell they are bound to

l was making a study of psychic phe-

occurred to me to make a psychical
proposal by projecting my subjective
mind around the corner to where the
girl lived and fixing it up all ready for
me when l should take my objective
mind around to have the affair ratified

man actl were disagreed to and the bill
sent to conference.
Dolliver Talked Politics.
A feature of the debate on the alcohol
bill was the speech of Mr.. Dolliver

means committee. He ridiculed the
idea of attempting Republican legisla-
ton against the opposition of the Inert
Populistic mass in the senate and the
inert free trade mass in the White
House."
Mr.. Dolliver then drifted into politics
and paid his respects to Ex-Governor
Horace Boies of Iowa, who, he said,
looked in vain through the dust and
cobwebs of country law Office for q
Republican nomination, joined the anti
prohibition element in Iowa and led the
Democratic party to victory.
With cutting satire he described Mr..
Boies as firing of the contemplation Of
the legal status of the town pump and
turning his attention to broader fields.
He went on to describe how Mr.. Boies
had once again shifted his horizon"

Janitor Edwards yesterday was no
tieed with can OF gasoline going over
the courthouse square. pouring few
drops on every dandelion plant. We
stopped and inquired about it, and
found that where Mr.. Edwards had
poured the gasoline on the plants they
withered up and died. The roots died
right up and no more bother will be
experienced with this troublesome weed.
This remedy is a splendid one, and cheap
as well, and is worth trying. The re-
suits on the courthouse square are such
that no trouble is anticipated from the
weeds the balance of the year. In at
tempting to dig the plant out, there is
always a part of the root left in the
ground, audit springs up again. Where
the gasoline is used, the whole plant is
killed.-Marshall News.
