ENTERPRISE OF CLUB WOMEN.
A Notable Settlement to Be Undertaken
in Tennessee
jy10-d&ds
From the Pilgrim.

From the Pilgrim.
This month Tennessee club women inau-
gurate an extraordinary enterprise among
the isolated and ignorant mountaineers of
the state. 1t IS really the beginning of a
social settlement along novel lines, the spot
selected being Walkers valley, where. be-
sides Poygamistic Walker and his two
wives, live thirty families whose sole in
heritance is unspeakable shiftlessness. Only
one member of the whole colony, in fact,
is able to read.
The regeneration of this peculiarly re-
tarded people is to be undertaken by the
Tennessee Federation of Women's Clubs
which has al its head Mrs. Charles A. Per
kins of Knoxville. Through the social set
tlement committee logs and nails were Sc
cured from one source, pictures and furn-
ture from others, so that a cabin Of two
rooms is now in readiness and. with a COM
petent teacher. these neglected natives are
to have an opportunity to 'farn,' to use
the vernacular Of the neighborhood.
The colossal ignorance of the Tennessee
mountaineer, who is a moonshiner by train
ing. if not instinct, who raises little corn
to grind by hand in a stone mill. while his
spouse weaves a ''kiver' at the loom, fur
nishes a rich field for the courageous club
woman. Somewhat Of the state of things
may be CLEANED from the remark of little
Walkers valley girl who, displaying a row
of six books, one of the travelling libraries
sent out by the federation. proudly said to
visitor Reckon L has bout one of every
kind that's made" Walkers valley, more
over. is twenty-six miles from a railway
and seven miles from Tuckaleechee Cove
which. 1t may be mentioned, Is one Of the
jumping-of places in the Tennessee noun
tains.
So these are the people who are to be
taught the rudiments at this social settle
ment- 1t is part OF the plan that old and
young alike shall be instructed in reading
and writing, the women shown how to sew
cook and keep hOuse-in short. how to live
while the cabin. cheaply but tastefully ap-
pointed. is intended to serve as an object
lesson to those inmates of unkempt homes
1ndeed, there is TO doubt that this unique
work will develop as successfully in Ten
nessee, backed as II is by the best women
as it has in the last three years in Ken
lucky under the auspices of the Kentucky
Federation Of Women's Clubs.

"PLAGIARIsT AND PERJURER. -
Some Notable Examples in the History
Of Literature.
From the New York Times.

FROM the New York Times
Among Edmond Rostand's many titles to
distinction, according to the recent mds
ment of United States circuit court ia
that of being "a plagiarst and by Inference
a per5urer." 1t Is. to be sure not altogether
clear that. in spite of 80 weighty decision
the epithets are just; for the suit was not
contested by the defendant, and, as far as
one is able to judge from the published re-
port, the similarties between Cyrano de
Bergerac and the Merchant Prince of Corn
Vile are not SO remarkable as to place
the judgment beyond doubt Yet let us
suppose that NJ Rostand of E-arseilles and
Paris. took from Mr. Gross Of Gross Park
ana chicago, the idea of a courtship car
RED on beneath a balcony By such a team
as the witty but nosey ''Cyra - and the
handsome but stupid Chris =" What
does the fact signify? 1t sigr s that out
or a play that had been hawlL : about over
two continents and at last : oduced OBJ
securely and without success L. Rostand
fashioned a play that bids ia. to become
one of the worlds masterpieces IF dramatic
poetry. There is certain some hing about
this achievement that would go far to rec
oncile many men to being legally adjudged
plagiarists.
The idea of the sanctity of literary prop
critics has been carried very far Of late.
There are those who would, If they could
copyright their commas and their semi
coions. When they discover identities be-
tween two authors they pounce upon them
as an evidence of deepest guilt. Have
these people ever looked far into the meth
DDS OF the worlds great creative artists?
William Shakespeare took an old play by
Inomas HYDE and out of It fashioned Ham
let: he took another from nameless au-
thor and out Of 1t fashioned King Lear.
In all but one Of his published works he Is
known to have been seriously indebted to
predecessors. And yet most Of the plays
were published under hts name In hts life
time 1s not Shakespeare a plagtartst and
by inference a perjurer? Sheridan owed
similar debt to Moliere. He ia also a
piargfarfst and by inference per5urer. Mo-
liere. as he himself admitted. took his goods
where he found them, and among other
things borrowed the celebrated passage
as to the gallery In Scap1n from a play by
this very Cyrano de- rBergerac. The debts
OF musicians to one another are notorious.
and as for the great painters. they elevated
