MISS zITELLA COOKE.

One of the most prominent women in the literary world is Miss zitella Cooke. the brilliant Alabama woman who for years has made her home in Boston. Miss Cooke is. perhaps, best known for her poems, which have appeared in the leading periodicals of the country. Many of them have been pronounced gems in thought and style and for years have been given great prominence.
 Miss Cooke is especially successful in her books and verses for children and their popularity is recognized both north and in the south.
 Or the southern women who reside in the north, and who are prominent in the literary set no one has greater claims to recognition than Miss Cooke, whose place in the world of writers Is well established.
 Miss Cockes many friends in Alabama and her numerous admirers throughout the south have felt particularly inter- ested in her successful career, and grat- flied at the wide sale of her books.
 The picture which appears today of Miss Cooke is the first that she has ever consented to be printed. It shows a remarkably beautiful woman and in it's simplicity of costume and graceful pose suggests a charming portrait.
 The press north and south frequently contain reference to Miss Cockes poems and a recent comment by Dr. J. B. Flaw thorne expresses the concensus of opinion:
 q have read and re-read with exquisite pleasure a little volume of poems enti- tied, "A Doric Reed,' by Miss zitella Cooke. If poetry be the language of imagination and the blossom. and fra grance of human thoughts and passions, the author of this volume well deserves recognition as one of our country's poets Everything in the book is good. but its brightest gems are, Something. Greek Mothers Lullaby Gods oi Hellas,'' "The Dying Never Weep" and ''The Comfort of the Pines

. Kansas City Star: The fault
with Mr.. Bryan is that he cannot
overlook his defeats. He continuous
ly and persistently puts himself
above the party, in spite of his
avowals of disinterested loyalty.
He must know that the democrats
cannot succeed without a reunion of
its several factions, but he absolute
ly refuses to treat with those who
were most prominently Unidentified
with the party's success in 1884 and
again in 1892, except on the
ground Of unconditional surrender,
abject apology and period of pro-
baton. His terms are impossible,
and it must follow either that the
vast majority can influence har-
monious reorganization in spite of
Bryan's opposition, or that he
must modify his conditions of
reunion.
If Mr.. Bryan would only allow
the rank and file to follow it's
own inclining he would find an
overwhelming sentiment in favor
of an effective compromise. He
would see the drift issue, on which
all are agr eed, and which has been
vitalized and made paramount by
the ascendancy of the trusts, the
out growth of protection. He would
witness an almost unanimous dis
position to forget the futile issues of
1896 and 1900. The multitude" to
which he refers is in it's honest con-
sensus, must closer to the principles
that were victorious in two cam
paigns than to those that caused two
disastrous defeats.

Chicago Tribune: The special
number of the Army and Navy
journal, published yesterday, con-
tains letter from Lord Wolseley,
in which he says that he always
quotes the American army as being,
in his estimate of soldier,is the best
army in the world. The American
army is small; it is handicapped by
antiquated staff system, and in the
past has suffered from ms sufficient
appropriation by congress. It is in
the quality of the rank and file that
it is superior to the European
armies. The military attaches OF
the foreign government were struck
at Santiago by the initiative of the
American regulars. They were
more self reliant, better able to
Judge for themselves, when their
officers were for at hand or had
been struck down, than the troops
of other countries. This was not
due to the high standard for recruits
made possible by the smallness of
the army. The quality of the
American army is merely represent
tative of the quality of the people
from which it is drawn. Americans
are accustomed to think and act for
themselves and consequently lend
themselves readily to training for
modern warfare. It is not perfect
drill which is required SO much as
the ability to advance under fire, in
open order when it is impossible for
the officers activitely to command
and encourage the whole body of
men under them. In the light of
the British defeats in South Africa,
before they learned the value OF
mobility, it is not surprising that
Lord Wolseley should consider the
American army the bests in the
word.
Minneapolis Tribune The people
who greet and say farewell to each
other at railroad stations are un-
usaily those of close consanguinity
or friendship. Among them are
numbered husbands and wives,
lovers, parents, and children, friends
of various shades of intimacy. Shall
they be deprived of the osculat ory
privilege just because it makes so1ne
Grabbed superintendent nervous to
witness such happiness, or because
he fears that the displays Of affection
will strike a tender chord in the
breasts of his employees and make
them less callous to the righteous
: complaints of.'the travelling public?
The excuse of the superintendent
is that to much kissing delays the
trains. How preposterous| Does
kiss take up any timee Not if we
accept the testimony of the devoted
lover or the tender husband. To
him the joy is all too fleeting. But
it is absurd to suppose that the train
would stop in any event for fare
we'll kiss. It has it's schedule time.

heard the romantic avowal of entire
willingness to peril the whole world
and even the soul, for kiss. This
is all right in theory but, in practice
few can be found who would miss

No, no. The people who want to
