The above is the title of characteristic latterday story appearing in a recent number of leading American magazine The story Is so thrillingly written that it cannot but make a lasting impression upon the reader; and again. it so aptly illustrates the demoralizing tone of the present day story as that 1t should not be passed over without a word of warn ing.
 In the double hero of the story the au- thor attempts an illustration. without consulting a generous public, of the doc rine or rather the belief of reincarnation The story is undoubtedly the product of e literary genius. for both the plat and the finish display the hand of the It, erary artist. but at the same time it reads more like the hallucination of fevered brain than the sound reasoning of a sane mind.
 That the reader may gather the trend of the story, we give herewith brief summary: A widow marries and by her second husband gives birth to son, Hor- atio by name, and To and behold the de- parted spirit of her first love springs into existence in the mind of her child. Is he troublesome? Yes, extremely so. Hor- alto, at the age of eight months. pos eesses the deep baritone voice and intel ugent mind of her former husband, Jack; he speaks to the dumbfounded mother and admonishes her that her dear Tom is a stubborn fool. Frightened into sil. ence by the hideousness of the whole af- fair, she allows Horatio, or Jack, to dc pretty we'll as he pleases.
 Tn an unguarded moment, after swear ing secrecy to his mother Cor wife) he speaks to his nurse. who forthwith leaves the premises. pronouncing her charge a
 l. Nsw f.-.-n ,-a His own personal comfort was his first and only consideration: in obedience to his comand his unfortunate mother changes frequently his nurse. Gwendotn, a beautiful young lady and cousin to her living husband, arrives at her home on a visit. Jack nestles close to her bosom the first time she holds him in her arms

first time he tried to swim. whereupon he swore he would never go near the water again until he had learned to swim
 The modern joke about the loaned um- breHa Is certainly recalled by the follow ing: "Antiochus once set eyes on his cushion again"
 Numberless instances might be given of ancient jokes upon henpecked husbands, upon the undeslrabiIity of the marriage state after one is in 1t. of the causic re- marks of woman haters, of men making fun of their wives (behind their backs). clairvoyants. misers legacy hunters, etc. In fact, 1t is the man who is typical of a class that in all ages has had to bear the brunt of the sarcasms directed against the class. It is the concrete instance of the abstract idea.
 Much might be written about the humorous and bitter remarks in ancient literature upon women. Misogynism was rife in ancient times; more so than at present. for one of the greatest instances of the worlds progress is the improved position of women. In Greece especially women was looked down upon, and her position in the best days of Athenian glory was an inferior one.
 This accounts for much of the bitter ness against the sex to be found in Greek literature.
 One man. Simonides of Amargos, wrote a poem, in which he describes the ature of different kinds of women by comparing them successively to a hog. 8 fox. dog, mud, sea water. an ass, a weasel. a mare, an ape, and a bee Of These ten kinds the last IS the only one .pproaeh- ing responsibility. The poem winds up with this sentiment; 'God made this

and romance. which will appeal to a great many readers. But the writer is only passing good" and at his best when describing the mountains the rivers. the valleys and the plains, all of which are more graphically depicted in his famous attroupement of drawings. I cannot inn agine him anything else. To proclaim him a writer of books would be an in- justice on all sides. A man cannot be the whole Pleiades. And if he makes the foolish attempt there is bound to come Q total eclipse. It is best to shine as one star. for whole Armament is behind the reach of one man. It was a bad move that book. And frankly speaking, and also hguratively speaking. it will be a source of little profit to him in the long run.
 I lay John Ermine of the Yellowstone aside with regrets. Had a more obscure person written that narrative, would have said it was flair" But as Rem ington is the inventor. and the shadow of the artists name so overshadows that of Remington the writer, leave 1t for posterity to decide its fate.

all the rest are merely some form of the original thirteen.
 The well known sarcasm. Does your mother know you're out is said to have its original in the Roman poet Horace.
 The expression. He doesn't know enough to come in out of the wet" finds curious parallel in this ancient anec- 6ote from Strabo, a Greek writer, who lived at the time of Christ. The inhabi- tants of Cyme had raised some money by mortgaging one of their public ar cades. But as the loan was not repaid the mortgages took possession of the property, good naturedly letting people take shelter there when it rained.
 This was announced by a crier, who called out, Come under shelter" Hence a story arose that the people were so stupid that they didn't know when to seek shelter unless they were told.
 Jokes on the occupation and profess sions are common in all nations from early times.
 The physician is always hard hit. as he is today. Jests on relationships are quite common, and the mother-in-law seems to have been just as unpopular in antiquity as She is today.

s@ Journeys End. s@

It would be unfair to give a synopsis light and airy romance, Journeys End" for the ending is very similar to that of the Lady or the Tiger"
 woung Calthrop, an Engiishman re- duced in circumstances, like many an- other of his countrymen. comes to America to recoup. There he finds em- ployment in a photograph shop and incl dentally falls in love with . prominent actress whose picture he has seen in the store He writes a play for her which he shows to an actor in his boarding house, who steals 1t from him and pre- sents it to the manager as hls own. In the end however, the deception Is dis covered and young Calthrop's play in his own name makes big success.
 The plot thickens around the success of this play, the actress. whom Calthrop imagines he Is in love with, and the girl he has left behind him in Old England. It would be unfair. as we said in the beginning, to tell how this ends.
 As for the story. 1t is light. both in manner and matter, and the English type and the actor tpe, and the pretty Eng fish girl type, are just about what you would expect to find in a novel of this kind. In fact, MT. Forman belongs to the Richard Harding Davis and Charles Dana Gibson school, where pretty clothes, athletic young men with frowns on their faces, and seven foot American girls are the vogue.
 MT. Forman's EnglishYnan uses the kind of English slang which we have always been taught to expect in novels of the aristocracy written by authors of the republic. "One hundred guild a year. bah!" By Jove"-these and other An glicisms are used so frequently in the

against the methods that are rapidly making for an artificial. unstable lan~| guage. s-4 ks < Y
 This is broad subject to handle In- small space, but few leading poiuts VII bring the subject to focus. ' '
 Of the making and reading of bookq there is no end. and as long as the cons tinual deluge of literary sipping con-. tinues. there will be a surfeit
 In such condition of affairs when th4 market is overwhelmed with books of e4 descriptions. the man or woman ambitiou1 to obtain true literary culture must us4 a wise choice in their reading in ordeQ to do SO.
 Many false prophets will arise to suG<' gest a certain line of reading which VIII land one safely at the desired goal. buG personal preference must always rule. There Is such wide choice in as many departments that to gain literary culture does not mean only the thorough knowI- edge of one or the partial insight into several. It goes back farther than this and demands that the mind be put in . state of readiness to be cultured Tho ground must first be prepared before the seed shall be sown. Likewise the fertiiix- ing of the ground with the choice of tho best fertilizer must be considered. and these preparatory points being well at- tended to, the sower may reasonably ex- pect good harvest. providing the sun and rain aid in Natures work.
 The same is true of the mind. It is impossible for mental culture to be pres sent at the feast of sensuons literature., The foundation must be laid strong and true, and then the building will not tot~ teri
 The time to lay such foundation is irs the child and young giriisoDd or byhood< The fountain then will ever be fresh be- cause it's source is pure.
 Mental or literary culture is evinced by the ability to read and abst,rb good litera- ture and having absorbed it to give 1t to those around us and In a small sense become educators.
 Literary culture selects those books or magazines which have irt them helpful. educational matter and rejects all others. It has contempt for that which debAsea and a strong love for all that which Ip< lifts.
 How shall we gain this culture? By classics will greatly aid in making good starting point. and give one. at the sama time. broad viewpoint from whish ta work, and close application win cause one to love the Classics. Many who have not had too personal a relationship with these great minds of other centuries | have a natural abhorrence to this term. not appreciating the fact that all styles are represented and that much of 1t is infinitely more pleasing than large ma- jority which we have thrust upon us today.
 The attempt to gain this ground of literary excellence Is in itself a forward step to such attainment and bears with 1t gratifying. degree of mental culture.

when we are disappointed in those whom we have heretofore admired we feel that We have been lily repaid for our faith in them. The perusal of your book has aroused the Three Furies within me. If you were near I could bite you in my disappointment indeed I could. Like Nero, not content with being only an Em- peror, you want to toot flute also and show yourself at terrible disadvantage.
 Fur conduct needs a reprimand. And the best way to get at your already trou- bled conscience is to exclaim in tones of amazement:

story of the fool in the Greek Jest Book of Hierocles. who, meeting one of two twins. the death of one of whom he had heard of, asked. was it you that died, or your brother?"
 There was a story current some little time ago about an Irishman who made bet with fellow workman that the latter could not carry him in his bod up a ladder to the fourth story of a building. The workman put Pat in the bod and laboriously ascended. At the third story he stumbled and almost fell, but regained has equilibrium and finally completed the ascent fin safety.

 Now, this joke has its basic principle in an old Greek joke about a man who agreed to pay his doctor fee if the latter cured him. When lris wife remonstrated with him for drinking heavily when in high fever he exclaimed: What, do you want me to get well and have to pay the doctor his fee?"

Clarrissa'r Troublesome Baby.

, 70. feet title baby!" she exclaims, as she rocks him to sleep. playing the "nile with his chubby little seet.
 The same old story is enacted Before he is nine months of age, Horatio, or more properly Jack, has won the ioVeiy girls heart and an elopement follows. Now, this is tale well told an aomlt- tedly interesting to the casual reader or fiction. But can any good result from such literature? It offers no moral Tor the betterment of man or woman, and portrays no ability or character. To be frank and honest about the whole mat ter. it is simply an intoxicating lie-a hrebrand in the system which must as- suredly burn and scar the conscience and
 the heart.
 It is possible and may be probable that our spirits shall return to this world in some form or other, but how dare we take the uncertain possibility of so mighty
 a theme and twist 1t into the form of an immoral story, for the gain if filthy lucre, regardless of the wreckage of character. It is simply another striking illustration
 of the fact that present day writers care for nothing so much as for making a literature that will ''sell'' rather than a \ literature that will uplift. In the space
 of this short story could have been put sentiment so noble; motives so pure;
 ideals so high; examples so lofty. as that
 the readers would have been thrilled and possibly the current of their whole lives changed into new channels.
 Oh. that the day may soon come when
 the man who yields the pen may realize
 to its fullest extent how great a power
 and how lasting an influence the words and the sentiments he fashions may have. He may mar a life or he may make one. The onn0rfunifV Of the writAra today is superior to the opportunities of the writ
 CTS of any past generation. and with our
 hopes still high and our trust in human ity still strong, we can not but believe
 the day is not far distant when the man
 who wields the pen will wield 1t in such
 a way that the world may be made bet ter.

In my opinion patriotism should con- sist In loyalty to q language as We'll as to flag. The restlessness of a people that expresses itself in an indiscriminate adoption of foreign words as helps to a proper conveyance of its ideas forbodes i'll for the future of the language
 The Anglo-Saxon tongue. in all it's in- adequacies, Is certainly preferable to the present hybrid state of tho tongue we call English.
 It is matter for some alarm that even the commercial and professional vocabu- iary is rapidly becoming foreign. Have such wholesome words as hair dresser and dressmaker so lost in favor and dignity that these artists must need rechristen themselves ''coiffeur' and "modiste?''
 Such methods derogate from the dig nity and consistency of our mother tongue and in great measure from our self reliance and self-respect. Is it not pos- sible to find ip our most prolific language equivalents for such words as ingenue, premier. danseuse, masseuse, tete-a-tete, etc? Do not the terms self-love, fonora- bie. intention. finishing-touch. etc. con vey ideas with as much force and delicacy as the French equivalents?
 We juggie with words as child with its toys. abandoning the old ones for the new ones, the plain ones for the prettier ones. Restlessness. dlscontent and love of novelty are responsible for such a state of things. In the earlier days the days the language of the invader was forced upon the invaded. and the higher classes were forced to study the languages which found their way across the borders of our mother country For many feasons 1t was then necessary fc incorporate into the language foreign terms and expressions. This was ineyfta. ble in the building of the language. But why continue the process? Is not the language established?
 A cosmopolitan nation and a hybrid language are somewhat at variance with the idea of unity. Young women in social life are strongly imbued with the notion that their education is not complete unless they are able to lair" at least few dozen French words-and these often woefully mispronounced-by way of polish. Carried too far this breed oi snobbishness. and the initiative fiattery' must be either highly gratifying or ex. trenely amusing to the Gallic prototypes across the water.
 The study of languages is a most in. teresting and profitable diversion, but ths substitution of good. wholesome, dignifiet euphonious words for the more high sounding. musical ones of our neighbor, is. to say the least, undignified. It 1. often argued that certain French words and expressions convey certain ideas witt more force than would the Englisr equivalents. Be this as 1t may, 1t is moi may purpose to inveigh against the oc. caslonal use of a foreign term. but should like to join in the general protest

It is the story of house divided against itself-brother against brother--father against son.
