How They Read It.

Harper's literary bulletin, commenting
on the heavy demand for President Wood
row Wilson'S History of the American
People," says: 1.-THE plain fact is that
people are reading history just as they
read novels, and curiously enough, this
is the only complete history down to very
recent times in existence '.,.zs, -. =. :
Now, while it Is perfectly true that the
American people are strongly and in
proper to say that they read history lust
as they read novels" Such reading
is to be deplored and the American people
do not want to get such a?reputation as
readers Of history. The vast bulk of nov
els issuing from the presses present pic
lures which appear and disappear, as de-
tails of Landscape appear and disappear
to an observer looking out Of the window
of an express railway train as it whirls
over the rails. Most novels are read to
be forgotten. History is read seriously
for trustworthy information to be stored
in the brains pigeonholes for future use
and reference. 1t is better to assume that
the American people read history with
that view. The impulsion of young men
toward public life makes a knowledge of
American and European history very i'm
portant In any walk Of life a knowledge
Of history is valuable possession. The
history of the past Is guide to the

COMPARISONS on Skies.-The late William

firmly in himself and in his ability to
handle the brush about as effectively as
any other man in the profession. One day

looking out at the sky, which was cloud

The Bill Board.

The people Of Washington, D. c., seem
to have adopted a very ineffectual plan
to get rid of the bill board nuisance. They
which they grant liquor licenses. @ In
Washington an application for a saloon
license must be accompanied by evidences
of the consent of the residents of GER
tain defined locality. The same plan
was expected to tear down most of the
fectual than it does in preventing saloon
keepers from finding places in which to do
business.
The commissioners Of the District Of
Columbia, who constitute the city govern
ment of Washington, were surprised to
find that after all the complaints against
unsightly bill boards and their immoral
poster displays, the people living in the To-
calities where they are erected were giving
their consent in a great majority Of cases
to their continuance.
The trouble seems to have been in as
Stunning that the residents of the imme-
date neighborhoods were the only people
interested and the only ones entitled to say
whether the bill boards should come down
or stay up.
That isn't the proposition at all. 1t Is

the annoyance and suffer the offense of the
unsightly structure and of it's often very
Objectionable display who are entitled to
protection against the bill board, and to
leave them out of the account is not to go
to the merits OF the matter or treat it
in a serious and practical manner. The
failure to reach the offensive poster and
the. dishguring bill board in Washington is
not to be taken as any evidence that the
people of that city as a whole are any
more favorable to bill boards than they
were supposed to be when at their insti-
cation congress passed the law calling for
neighborhood consent. It simply proves
that the Washington way of getting rid
Of them is neither reasonable nor effective

Three Immortals.

1t will. no doubt, surprise many people
who read Bliss Perry's STUDY Of Prose
Fiction to find him saying that the only
American writer's Of fiction who have won
a secure place in the worlds literature are
Cooper, Hawthorne and Poe:

have been soon forgotten. How Is it with
"Trilby?" Cooper, Hawthorne and Poe,
originals all, possess the enduring quality.
Coopers genius selected a field since
threshed over by many, but none Of the
late writer's have wrought into their text,
as Cooper did, the real romance Of wood
craft and the frontier life. Hawthorne
has a quality entirely his own. He
has proven himself, SO far, to be the great
American novelist, par excellence. He
lives in his books and will live, and be
read. And Poe, whose biography has
been written more than twenty times and
upon whom the gall of bitter and hostile
criticism has been poured in unstinted
measure, cannot be displaced from his
niche. He is far more appreciated than
he was twenty years ago. He led the
way in short story writing. He will
keep his high place in our literature. Mr..
Perry is correct in his discrimination as to

Many Of the newspapers Of the country

Many of the newspapers of the country
seem to think that the country is going to
the bowwows because at the recent cleo
ton there were more votes cast for the
socialist ticket than ever before, but if
one will stop to consider the matter there
is no reason for alarm. The practical dis
bandment Of the populist party left the
radical element Of that aggregation with
no other haven Of refuge. The majority
Of the former republicans became repub-
licans again and some former democrats
returned to that fold, leaving the malcon-
tents to ally themselves with the only
semblance Of a political organization with
which they had anything in common.

He is now advertising in 500 newspapers

can escape being caught somewhere at
some time by such a publicity scheme as
that The Santa Fee road once placed an

time and carried it there for a month,
with results that far surpassed those re-
ceived from the expenditure of the same
