Cicero, who was at one with Atticus in loving
quiet life adorned by books and thoughtful in
tercourse with friends, could not have endured
the cold detachment from public affairs which
was characteristic of Atticus. There count
less passages in his correspondence which re-

could at all times withdraw himself to thoughts

written in Cilicia TO NJ. CRlius Rufus there is a
passage which displays the other side of the

The word energy" in the preceding quotation
guides us to a key which will unlock more than
mystery in the character of Cicero. The
temptation for those who like MOmmsen, have
tested Cicero's political career by more or less
modern standards has been TO see in many Of his
actions simply the self-seeking motive which
actuates the latter day politician of the baser

ILLUSTRATED SUPPLEMENT.

The twentieth birthday of that admirable
literary periodical published in Chicago The
Dial" was celebrated the other day by the
publication of a special number. The Editor
Mr. +. +. Browne and his colleagues had some
very interesting things to say and many faithful
readers contributed cOngratulatOry letters. We
venture to add our own good wishes. The
DaI' has done good service, eschewing steadily
all specious enthusiasms and appealing gravely
but in n thoroughly animated and interesting
manner to those who uphold the highest stand
ards of criticism A belated communication
from Sir Walter Besant offers some apt re-
marks on the peculiar value to Englishmen Of
good American criticism. Abiding to that in
The Dial" on the writings of his cOuntrymen,
he says that it should be "abOve all valuable to
ourselves as being absolutely free from personal
considerations There is suspicion in its
columns of log rolling, of private friendships,
of private anmosities such disfigure too
much our criticism upon ourselves" The lesson
limited at in these words is one that cuts both
ways English authors receive justice here that
they sometimes fail to receive at home, and
Americans likewise are treated in London jour
nails with a sObriety sometimes missing on this
side of the water. On the other hand, English
regulations deservedly pricked at home are
often foOishly reinfated here, and some of our
authors whose work we justly cOntemn are mis-
takenly rhapsodized over in England Both
sides would be benefited by a more frequent
interchange of ideas.

interchange of ideas.
The worst feature of contemporary good nat
ure toward everything that can get itself
printed is that it licenses literary men to deliver
their minds on every subject under the sun,
whether they know anything about it not.
We have views" on the housing of the poor
by the author of the latest Stun novel, or a
chat" about Chinese politics by a tourist who
has visited the treaty ports and written a study
of The Celestial Empire" Now we have also
Mr.. William Ernest Henley on Lord Roberts
and the Beers. Il wish he had not shaken
hands with that ruffian CrOnje," writes this
doughty scribe Because Cronje is, in Mr.. Hen
ley'S opinion, a ruftian, Lord Roberts must
cease to be a gentleman. 81 do not think that
our repute as a civilized people," he continues,
would have suffered greatly if we had hanged
the commandant' The chivalrous 'Bobs'' wait
ing to act until he heard from Mr.. Henley on
the best way of preserving the repute of the
British as a civilized people would be figure
for the Imagination, with a vengeance What
Mr.. Henley thinks however in this matter is
of no consequence. If we may adapt DR.. John
son to suit the circumstances it is not Mr.. Hen
ley's ability to say the sort of things we have
quoted that is surprising; the marvel is that he
should be permitted to say them at all. Why,
i'll the name of all that is reasonable, should
minor poet, an editor ''manqUe," Il specialist Of
preciOsity in style, be encouraged to air his
prOvinciality and discharge his venom in fields
that concern him not? The responsibility for
his amazing excursions rests with those who
unthnkingy applaud any one bOasting the
name of author. If high standards in literature
were more generally supported authors would
less often make themselves ridiculous
new terror has been added to life and it
comes from a highly respectable quarter. In
several English museums cases have been
broken open and valuable objects distracted
therefrom. The thefts stirred the memory of
',rhe Academy" and it asked for the name of
the novelist who had written a story around an
incident of the sort. Il might suggest" writes
Mr.. Sutherland Wilson to the journal we have
named "Mr Conan Doyle, who wrote a story
dealing with an Oriental professor and the theft
of an Eastern jewel from case in the British
Museum" We remember that story, and a hun
dred others like it, all devised by the best of
men, and all mines of unconscious suggestion to
the craftsmen. Time brings its revenges The
small boy whose father has just snatched from
him the last penny dreadful" about scalp
hunters and bank breakers will chuckle later
on over the newspaper reports Of crimes sug-
gested by the literature in which his stern
parent delighted. Unless, perchance, we estab-
llSh censorship in this matter. 1t is true that
no man dares to curtail the vogue of ''decadent"
novels. BY doing he would outrage art"
and, besides, such books only hurt our morals
But apparently, the latter day story of crime is
going to hurt our pockets. 1t will nave 10 90.

THE FULFILMENT OF A pROPH.
ECY

In it's general nature the soil of Colorado
is sandy loan. This is varied In aome
parts by clay, adobe and other constit-
uents. 1t Is everywhere rich and in the
valleys it reaches IN incredible depth
Its constituent Of clay has remarkable
porosity and retentivensss for water, for
ammonia and most soluble salts. The
sediment Of slime and mud from the over
flow which made the soil OF these valleys
60 rich and 80 deep lie nothing less than
the silt OF decomposed rock and mineral,
mixed with organic matter::which is itself
a builder. Hence it may DO relied upon
that IL is responsive in an sxtravagant
degree where water can be applied s''
Tho spread OF scientific knowledge
concerning these soils. the fame Of the
rich productiveness and an enlightened
understanding concerning the superior
advantages Of irrigation are the elements
of the leaven that is working among tho
people abroad and attaching them 10
these new fields Of promise. In all the
divisions OF agriculture there is renewed
effort and energy in production and an
activity in the work Of preparation OF
increased acreage for the new people
that are coming in and occupying the
land such as has never before been wit
messed in Colorado. 10 the people east
of the Mississippi this quick transforma-
tion OF the sandy desert is amazing and
beyond belief.
To the people OF Colorado it hes now
became matter of passive recognition
OF prophecy uttered more than fifty
years ago by an eminent explorer in
what was then the wilderness OF Ameri
ca, that he would live to see all this wild
waste OF country come under the domin
ion Of civilized Americans; that the
plains would be cultivated and bring
forth fruits and grain; that the mount
aims would yield great treasures OF silver
and gold and that the very ground upon
which he stood would become the site of
a great city, the center Of commerce and
the metropolis of the west. Such are the
changes Of mountain and plain and such
is the magnificent city OF Denver.
The state is composed OF magnificent,
we'll watered valleys and broad uplands.
The valleys are rapidly being filed with
farmers who are each year extending
their cultivated farms and producing
more and more alfalfa and other crops.
The uplands are utilized for grazing
stock during the summer seasons. The
grent syndicates Of few years ago, with
their thousands Of head roaming freely
over the plains IN summer and through
the valleys IN winter, have almost en-
tireiy disappeared, and instead We today
see the individual farmer with his little
band OF cattle or sheep occupying the
ranges.-Field and Farm.
