 literary criticism, let us try to find what element of reconcilement there is in the diversities of colloquial usage.
 Tn all that is generally called TO- mantle in the cases above mentioned. there is the common element of strangeness. We easily revert to what must have been the original sense of the word in it's connection with those medieval notifications of the Latin tongue known as the Ro- nance languages. The Saxon or CeIt would have found his native tongue sufficient for all ordinary needs; but 1T he caught the Roman air in any way by travel or refinement of taste and habit, he would, to meet the new ly developed need, borrow the graces of the Roman speech that is. he would romance" - Harper's NIaga- zine.

WHAT IS ROMANCE.

"A New and Comprehensive Definition
 from the Editors Study.
 What is romance? Even the collo- quial use of the term is varied. When we say you are romancing, or call anything romantic as distinguished from what is real or what Is true, we mean one thing, but quite another when we apply the term romantic to natural scenery. And in this applica- tion we must distinguish between the effect upon us of that which we call romantic because of human associa, tions with certain sights or sounds and that wildness of nature which we call romantic because of it's absolute dis. sociation from anything human.
 Keeping out of mind for the pres, ent the use of the word in artistic and

All true Moslems when eating must begin with salt and finish with vinegar. If they begin with salt they will escape the contagion of 70 dis eases.

House Says to Senate Pass Cuban
 Hill or Reject It.
 WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.-Until the senate either passes the Cuban bill or rejects that measure no proposition to adjourn the extra session of the Fifty eighth congress will be entertained by the house of representatives.
 This is the declared position of the leaders of that body and indicates nc change in the position first taken by Speaker Cannon and his colleagues on this matter.
 As this fact has become understood by the leaders of the senate there is likely to be no effort made by that body to bring the extra session to an end un- til it lapses into the regular session Dec. '.
 Speaker Cannon is making all possi ble speed in the organization of the house. His work on the makeup of the committees of that body is progressing satisfactorily.

CEDRIC IS iN.

White star Liner Reported Sunk
 Reached Port without Accident.
 NEW YORK, Nov. 27.JThe White Star line steamer Cedric, about whose safety such wild rumors were put in circulation. has just reached port. The Earl and Countess of Yarmouth (nee Thaw) were among the passengers.
 She was first signaled at Nantucket South Shoals Hghtship and again re- ported nine hours later, wheR the ma rine observer at Fire island picked rp'' her two great tunnels far to the eastward through his telescope.
 At Fire island the liner signaled "All well'' as she went along at her regu- lar speed in the direction of Sandy Hook.
 The Cedric is not supplied with wire less telegraphy, and communication with the Nantucket floating light was impossible. All the Cedric did was to burn her night signal, two green lights displayed simultaneously, but that was enough to convince the observers that the ship was all right. Nantucket re- peated the news to Siasconset by wire fess, and the mainland flashed the tid- ings throughout the world.

sn near him, and John cursed his sery- ing man as a coward-the fellow had beat us all out in the run in-and won dered if the crank really would throw the bomb before Peter caught him, when suddenly Peter appeared up the hill with the fellow by the coat collar. We saw that he had a bottle in his hand-that is, the anarchist had-and he had long hair and red nose. Well, John yelled out before me: "Hey, there, Peter! Stop where you are and-and destroy that bomb or do something. Can't you see, you idiot? Don't come any neareri'' The anarchist laughed grimly at this, and was dumfounded to see Peter grin too. began to sus- pect conspiracy and was preparing to take a flying start back through the bushes when the anarchist sings out:
 "'Mr. Rockyfeller, believe. We'll, have here'- He held up the bottle, but before he could throw it Peter had jerked him back, and the bottle went out of his hands end up into the air. When we took our heads from the ground there the bottle lay, emptying a red liquid into the grass, and the an- archist looking sad and Peter holding on to his mouth like fool.
 ""Thank Godv says John, ewing the broken glass suspiciously. We got up on our feet, and suddenly when looked at those two fellows began to feel bit uneasy and as though I'd been sold. But John didn't.
 We'll says John, going right up to the anarchist, your bomb, am sorry, sir, didn't work

President Roosevelt Looks Upon Rs-
 sult as Victory For the Party.
 NEW YORK. Nov. 27.-Sensational reports are still flying in political cir cleS regarding the probable extent of the shakeup proposed by Governor Odell for the Republican organization Just how far the governor will be able to go in making sweeping changes is the chief topic of discussion in political circles. Those who know Governor Odell best say he is not the kind of man to bite off more than he can chew. On the other hand, Senator Platt's friends insist that a good deal of the present talk about turning things up side down in the organization is hot air.
 In any event the proposed reorgan- izatton will not be a work of revenge or factionalism. It will be sincere effort to strengthen the Republican or- ganization in many weak places, so that the most effective work can be done in the coming presidential cam paign.
 Information just received from men who are close to President Roosevelt is to the effect that the result of the conference was neither a victory for Governor Odell nor for Senator Platt, but rather 8 victory for the whole Re publican party. Hereafter the two big Republican leaders in New York will fire at one target instead of firing at each other.

Christmas Fires.

If one would revive memory of the old Yule fire a backlog of hardwood, the largest to be had, should be chosen, says Harper's BaZar. The hearth should be clean and cold before Christ mas even and the log set in place, with the cedar or pine or other flight wood' kindlings at hand. As the sun goes down fire is applied and the big log set ablaze. In the mountain regions of the south the hearth fire is kept with an almost equal fidelity, scarcely ever be- ing permitted to die out from October to March, and in the cabins of the ne groes it is no uncommon sight upon a Christmas night to see within the fire place itself, their heads up the chim- ney, pickaninnies of various sizes bus fed in warming their toes. their bare feet resting on logs of cedar or hickory or oak and their black eyes rolling In anticipation of coming good things,

OIL KINGS WILD RUN.
John D. Rockefeller's Flight From Crank With Hair Tonic.
AN INCIDENT OF THE GOLF LINKS

Major Blossom of Cleveland Tells of
 Most Remarkable Game With the
 HIulttm1IIionaire- = How Both Fled
 when Bottle of Tonic In Supposed
 Anarchist'a Hand Fell as He Was
 JerIked Back by . Servant.
 Major Carlos H. Blossom of Cleve- land, O., who went to New York re- gently to see the horse show, has been playing golf all summer and fall with his friend and neighbor, John D. Rocke- Teller; not at the Euclid club nor the public grounds, but at the eighteen hole course on Mir. Rockefeller's estate, The Highlands, Cleveland. Major Blossom had this golfng experience with the great oil magnate to relate, says the New York Commercial Advertiser:
 John is quite rich," said he biandly, sand of course is bothered with cranks who think that man with money and brains ought to be shot. As matter of self protection, therefore, he has his golf course surrounded with a high steel fence and the gates guarded by six green coated henchmen, who are strictly ordered to let no one pass on any condition. If any one insists on coming in-myseR for example-John always comes down from the house to see who 1t is himself. Well, this last month (October) was playing around with John as usual. We were just leav- ing the twelfth tee, think, when the serving man just aside of John gave a yell, Look outr dropped glass or two off his tray, and the next thing knew John had dropped his brassy and was off down the hill like whirlwind. I followed along, kind of looking around to see what was the trouble, when all at once caught sight of figure flying over the knoll back of us with his hair straight back from his head and some thing black waving in his hand and 8 six footer with his green coattails fly ing coming behind like steam engine
 ''Well, then I started after John, whc was just clipping the sod off the sixth hole bunker, bareheaded, of course. almost forgot to tell you he never wears a hat playing golf. for the sun exposure he considers a hair tonic. When caught up John was in the bushes around tho first tee, with his head GOV cred with leaves andwell, we wert both prakkw saAcarsd. \ tall vnn. crawlaf
