LOCAL COLOR.

One of the trite phrases III lit
erary criticism has grown to be
'.local color" The recent move
ment in the direction of realism
has made a certain amount of de-
tail imperative to the writer of
fiction. Unfortunately, he is not
always as careful as he should be
TO get the details right.
1t may be stated as a general
principle that all author may not
safely attempt to describe the life
of a country place with any MI
nuteness unless he has lived there
for some years. The reason is
that every countryside has its ira
ditions and customs, of slow
growth and unaccourtable charac-
ter. which cannot be made to fit
plot that is in the slightest degree
artificial.
The theme of the story must be
suited absolutely to the life of the
region in every smallest circum-
stance; and the author must be
careful not so much in regard to
the local color which he has OBJ
tanned as to that which he has not
obtained. He must not make the
people say and do things out of
harmony with their characters.
and, above all, he must not put
traits and phrases native to the
locality into the wrong place.
Only long familiarity will enable
the would-be realist to dodge these
dangers.
1t may seem a small thing to
the Southerner, accustomed to see
mnles as chief beasts of burden.
that a novelist should make
point of humor turn upon the use
of a mule by a farmer in the north
of Vermont but to these who
know that in that particular conn
try oxen are the draft animals,
and mule is almost as much of a
curiosity as a Bengal tiger in any
country district, this small touch
stamps the writer as careless. The
same accusation may be brought
agail st another novelist, who in
troduced a frog farm into a re-
gion of alkah desert. If one is
dealing with an unfamiliar region
there is more safety in vague |
poet. .eneralities than in reals
tic detail.

State Pledges for Roosevelt.

II see by the morning papers that SEN
ator Plat is quoted as saying that he
will oppose in the coming State conven-
ton any resolution plcdging New York
to Roosevelt in 1904 said H. T. Stone,
| of Utica, in the lobby OF the St James
yesterday. Well. perhaps the Senator
may b. right in saying the convention
has no right to bind delegates not yet
elected to a convention to be held two
years hence. But II Senator Quay can
pledge Pennsylvania two years in ad-
vance, ! do not see why Senator Platt
cannot do the same with New York
President Roosevelts administration
will be heartily Endorsed by the State
convention. which will nominate Gov
ernor Odell, and II the President desires
it the State will be pledged to him for
1904
Already the following States have
been pledged the President for 1904:
Kansas. Pennsylvania, Missouri Mime
sofa, and Iowa. And other States will
follow suit as they hold their conven
tions. From present indications Presi-
dent Roosevelt's name will be the only
one presented TO the National Reoub-
lican Convention in 1904"

Canton's Crack Veteran Band.

THE Marine Band is all right and
deserves its reputation" said Mr.. Bruce
Carroll. of Canton, Ohio. at the Ebbitt,
yesterday, but we have band in our
town that can play music. 1t is called
the Grand Army Band. and every mem
her of 1t is a finished musician.
"Our folks want to send the band to
the Grand Army encampment which is
TO be held in this city In October. Ohio
will be well represented at the encamp-
ment. and II the arrangements can be
made the Buckeye veterans Will bring
the Grand Army Band of Canton with
them.
The late President Mckinley thought
there was no band In the world like
the Canton Band, and I think he was
about correct The band had the post of
honor Mt McKinley's first inauguration.
as il had at the Presidents funeral in
Canton last September.
''If the band comes on. the people OF
Washington VIII have an opportunity to
hear music. | may add that the band has
played in nearly every prominent city

A Famous Rosebush.

In the town OF Hildesheim, In Ger
thousand years old, and sprouts
from It's bra prhes have realized fabu-
lous sums, says .he New York Tri-
bune." Some yea ago a rich En-
glishman offered 100000 for the en-
tire tree. but the sum was indig-
nantly refused This wonderful
plant clings amid thickly grown
moss against the side OF the famous
old Church OF ST. Michael. 1t is
claimed that It has bloomed perenni-
ally since the days of King Alfred.
and this statement has never been
disputed, for its record has been as
carefully kept as the. pedigree of
the bluest blooded family in the
kingdom. 1t is supposed to have
been discovered through the medi
UNI OF King Louis OF Hildesheim as
far back as 1922.

When Love Passed By.
By CHARLOTTE BECKER.

When Love passed by l did not know
He might not come again. and so
made TO answer to his plea,
But laughed away his sympathy.
And scorned the gifts he would bestow.
Then up the path l saw him go
Came dull-eyed Sorrow. climbing slow
She stayed to keep me company
When Love passed by.
Each year joys crimson roses blow
To set Loves pleasance all aglow
For them who welcomed fair, as he
Laid down his spoil. Alas, for me
White asphodels alone would grow
When Love passed by.

The Genius of the p. R.

Chicago Chronicle-There is genius in
human efforts. In his prime John L.
Sullivan was the greatest fighter with

He was in pugilism what Byron was in

what Darwin was in philosophy, what
Edison Is in electrical physics. He was
born master OF the science which he
practiced.

MORNING ON THE RIVER.
By DON MARQUIS.

Scudding clouds below the blue,
Shafts of sunshine hurting through;
Scampering breezes all a-quiver
Skip and caper DER the river,
Laugh. and leave the broader valleys,
Riot up the cleft hill-alleys,
Whipping all the rock-sown streams
In million sun-edged CLEANS;
Then dance on III reckless revels
Toward the higher pine-clad levels,
Where tangles of the morning mist
In raveled skeins of amethyst
Fling their banners to the morn,
Hailing rosy Day newborn.

WEDNESDAY. JAN. l, 1902.

Considering that our city taxes
were raised last year and that there is
likely to be an increase in the city
debt, it does not seem to be n good
time TO increase the salaries of our off
Gals. Yet faction of our city conn
ell, at its recent meeting, increased the
salary of the city treasurer by fifty
dollars, although that service has been
performed for years by capable men at
tho old rate. The mayor also had his
salary doubled, and also the chief
engineer and city reporter.
One would naturally expect that the
fixing of salaries would be left to the
incoming council, but modesty is not
one Of the merits of the gentlemen who
manipulated this Christmas gift to our
officials.

The Beacon has taken upon itself
the duty Of defending an indefensible
thing, viz: the purchase of the hose
that has been foisted upon the fire
department of this city.
Chief Arnett, we are told, says that
the letter which was published MS com
ing from him, approving of the hose,
was moi published as he wrote it.
If this is so, who altered that letter
1t is openly charged that our city
paid So cents per foot for hose that is
sold to other people for So cents PEI

If this is true, where did the extra
25 cents go to?

A German military critic has been
adding mp the grand total of con
tinental armies, and, after noting thai
we can form only vague idea of what
is meant by tens of millions, he tries
TO bring home to his readers in
another way the colossal growth Of
modern ornaments. If, he says, we
could have all the armies of the con-
tinent on war footing and drawn up
in one long procession, with their guns
and ammunition and baggage wagons,
the column would be rather more than
"a, 900 miles long, and, marching day
and night, it would take nearly year

school assembled at Z o'clock and at
7.30 were marshalled up stairs, where
the scholars beheld a magnificent
Christmas tree, the top of which touch
ed the ceiling, and whose branches
were adorned with paper dolls, beauti-
fully dressed. 1t was further orna-
mented with all kinds of Christmas
tree decorations, making n superb
spectacle. Along the gallery were
strung flags of all nations. The whole
appearance, with the bright and eager
looking faces of the children present,
made scene long to be remembered.
Occupying his usual place, with his
genial smile, was the children's friend
and superintendent, W. A. Greene,
to whom is due the success of these
entertainments. After the choir had
rendered an anthem in their usual

the children was just what was needed
to put them all in good humor,
especially when he asked them what
they wished from Santa Claus.

members of the infant class, was, as
usual, the most enjoyable feature of
the evening.
