Literature is art. 1t is art whose
crude material is language, as the
sculptor's material is marble, or as the
potter's is clay. Its mission in the first
place is so to shape its material that
form and beauty may emerge. The day
has not passed wherein the grace Of
words fifty spoken has power to quick
en- and inspire human life, nor has
Spencer's dictum. For pleasing words
are like the magic art" lost in reality
any of its value, despitet the chroni-
cler, the intelligencer and all the apos-
ties Of the matter of fact. 1t cannot be
denied, however, that a practical age
has had its effect. Men certainly do
hesitate frankly to confess that in their
own usage language is used as an
artistic material and subjected to ar
tistic treatment. There is apparently
a feeling that the confession would
involve something demeaning to the
content of thought. Rhetoric is in bad
odor-ehiefy the name. In the schools
they try to hide it under the name Of
English" There never was, however,
in all the days Of our civilization, a
more widespread and certain demand
for what is called good English" or
a more perfect appreciation of what is
said to be well written" Rhetoric
as name has fallen into discredit, be-
cause it has come to be associated with
tinseled phrase and empty words. But

TRAINS BIcYcLIsTs,
O. L Pickard's Methods of Handling
Track Riders


There is probably no other cycle rid
er today who Is so Versatile as is o.
L. Pickard, trainer OF Johnnie Nelson
and Johnnie Lake, now team mates.
Pickard rides in the races, trains h6
men, attends to the motors. and builds
training quarters or cycle tracks with
equal facility. In his position he at
tends to everything, from cutting down
a motor frame to wiring motorcycle
complete, or building a new bicycle. He
rides the motor, either on the front or
rear seat. He knows the cycle and
the motor tandem, as ne knows every
thing else, thoroughly. His work was
responsible for much Of the success OF
Nelson during the past season, for he
attends to every detail, and allows
nothing to go undone. Many have called
Nelson lucky in winning several hard
races, forgetting that it was the fact
that a second motor was always kept
ready and waiting to pick MIN up, or
that a second wheel was always I'M
der the hands of this trainer, and ready
to be rushed to him at any point
around the track. In five races Mel
son punctured, but he won all five
contests. His extra wheel was not in
the dressing room at such times. I'M
der lock and key, but was waiting for
him at the point where he dismounted.
That was not good luck, certainly. The
extra motor for Nelson was not on the
stand, and cool, but was circling the
track, and at all times the riders were
watching Pickard for a signal, under
instructions from him. The fact that
they picked up their men so quickly
and neatly, was not good luck. A
man of the caliber of Packard is hard
to find, and when a rider has found
him he is certain that unless in the
hardest kind Of luck he will have an
even break for the money.-Chicago

COUNTED AS DEAD.
Army Officers Have Returned from Manila
Confident That AguinaldO Is
Out of the Way.

Washington. March 2.-Army Off
GERS who have returned from Manila
are of the opinion that Aguinaldo is
dead. The personal correspondence
from officers who are still there, in
Guiding letters from Gen. Macarthur
received at the war department, indi-
cate that such is the impression in the
Philippines. 1t has been nearly a year
since there was any direct information
from Aguinaldo or any indication of
his presence or influence upon the
insurrectos. At that time, it will be
remembered, horse was overtaken
and captured by United States troops,
and the saddlebags were found to
contain many valuable papers which
bore evidence of being the official
property of Aguinaldo. The rider
of the horse was known to
have been wounded. To what ex-
tent. however, it was not possible to
ascertain. He had been carried off by
the natives, and the supposition is
that this rider was the Filipino lead
er. Nothing more has been heard of
Aguinaldo. All trace of him was
lost after that day and all evidences
are lacking that he is alive or that he
has been in recent months discharg-
ing any official command of the ma
tive army. Aguinaldo's wife spends
much of her time in Cavite and is
frequently in Manila. She is closely
watched and for months she has GER
tainly had no communication with her
husband

without money and his wedding day

old friend Lane When the messen-
gers back was turned Ferreu shot
and killed him. Terrell then took

The stop was but for a moment and
the crime was not discovered until
the car was opened when the train
reached this city.

Washington, March carrying out
the policy inaugurated by the state
department when it changed its mill
tary force in China into n legation
guard, the war department has sent
orders to Gen. Chaffee to still further
reduce his force. The general now has
under his command about 1900 men.
Although nominally legation guard,
Gen. Chaffee's force is of rather for
midable offensive quality, and not
desirous of retaining an unnecces-
sary menace to the Chinese court
and in order to hold out inducements
for its early return to Pekin, the
United States government some time
ago determined upon a further re-
duction of the American force, and
the orders went forward.

The Loss Is 100000 and There Was
No Insurance.

Lincoln, Neb., March 2.-The Nebras-
lla state penitentiary is in ruins. The
fire which started at midnight de-
stroyed the cell house and the entire
main building and the loss will not be
less that 100000 and will probably
exceed that amount. The building
was practically new. The only build
ing saved was the east wing occupied
by the warden, the chapel and small
reserve cell room. Precautions had
been taken to guard the prisoners,
who were removed under extra guard
without difficulty. Lieut.. Gov. Saw
age has arranged to have a sufficient
number of the national guard sent to
the penitentiary to prevent any es-
capes being made.
The fire was discovered by Warden
Davis himself shortly before mid
night. he being aroused by the crack
ling of flames and smell of smoke. The
convicts were ordered to clothe them
shaled into the huge court yard under
the espionage of a score of armed
guards patrolling on the top of the
wall surrounding the court yard.
When a search was made of the
ruins of the west cellhouse the re-
mains of George Pfieuger were dis
covered in his cell. He had been re-
leased with the other convicts from
the building and had marched out
with them but had gone back to get
some personal effects. Pfeuger was
sent from Cunning county for life 61s
years ago for the murder of his wife.
