English Literature at Wellesley College

written three novels
! lnSenSible are the revolutions in liter
allure from decade to decade, not only
in respect of the tastes of the public,
but also in regard to the personnel Of
authors, says a writer in the London
Daily Mail. Where are the roses of
yesteryear? That is to say, where are
tie popular writer's who We're so much
| in evidence in, say, 1890? To run over
the old catalogues is to remember and
wonder and to ponder also upon the
emptiness of hope and the fickleness
Of fame
I 1t was about the year 1890, or a little
earlier, that a novelist, row of the first
distinction, made the bold attempt to
place his fellow in their order
OF merit. 1t is instructive to consider
his list at the present time. He placed
Mr.. Meredith first, Mr.. Hardy second
Then. at a long interval, followed
Blackmore and Stevenson. To these
succeeded Mr.. Norris. Black, and Mr..
Barring Gould, Miss Broughton and Mr..
Christie Murray. Mr.. Rider Haggard,
then at the zenith of his popularity, was
included IT. the first GoZen.
The changes are surprising. Black
has dropped out of favor; SO, too, has
Christie Murray: and Mr.. Raggard's
vogue has waned. Neither Mr.. Barring
Gould nor Mr. Norris can be considered
quite to maintain their standing. On
the other hand. there is Il food of new
Corners, some of whom are of consider
able reputation, and some of remark
able popularity. This list includes Mr.
Kippling, Mr.. Barrie, Mr.. Anthony
Hope, Sir a. Conan Doyle, Mr.. Stanley
Weyman, Mr.. ZanSwil, Mr.. Maurice
Hewlett, Mr.. Jacobs, Mr.. Gissing. Mr..
Philipotts, Mr.. Percy White, Mr.. CUTLER
Couch, Air. Seton Merrman, Mr.. Con-
rad: and of women, John Oliver
Hobbcs," Mrs. Dudcney, Miss Mann,
and Mrs. de Ia Pasture.
The increase in the mere number Of
names is notable. But, of course, th.re
has been no displacement of Mr.. Mere
dith and Mr.. Hardy from the head of
the list. Otherwise it would undergo Il
Transformation if revised by it's author
today One does not realize how soon
changes occur in the sphere of letters,
and how recent are regulations. Out
side two or three names, the whole body
of our contemporary literature is the
growth of the last twelve or fifteen
years.

If there is anything brighter than
Sapolio il is the advertising of that
worthy article, and if the advertising
is in any way affected by the use of Sa-
polio. then everybody, from housekeep-
ers to poets, should find it useful! 1t
brightens everything!
We have received the latest grist
from its advertising mill in the shape
of a magazine of 200 pages, all devoted
to one theme. Indeed, it is a variation
played on one string.
There are few. if any, more notable
successes in advertising than that of
Sapolio. Begun thirty years ago. by
advertising in newspapers, it has used
every available means of publicity and
stands today as monument of what
can be accomplished by persistent ad-
vertising. The moral is evident, and
we still have room in our columns for
aggressive merchants and progressive
who would like to fol-
low the Sapolo example.

County Fairs will! suffer from the
passage 81 tho Elklns Bill.
Does away with fair concessions
to exhibitors, Facing men, etc.

The different fair associations
of this section of the country
are just awakening to the fact
that the Ellins bill, enacted du-
ring the last session of Congress
will hurt every small fair to a
great extent if the intent of the
bill is strictly enforced by the
rail roads of the country.
The Elkins bill, now a law,
forbids the granting of special
rates, rebates, etc., to exhibit
tors of live stock, race horses,
ETC., who have made a practice
of following the County Fairs
during the circuit, and upon fl
ling of a certificate with the
Company showing the stock
shipments, etc., had been made
over their line, the exhibitor,
race horse owners, etc., was
granted special rebates. Under
the Elkins law the rail roads
have declared off all ruch rates.
and the Associations in the nor
thern part of this State have
already appointed delegates to
confer with the rail road COM
panies to ascertain what stand
they will take on the subject.

To the Members ST n. C. F. i.

After comforting with the
nominating com. of the last
Institute, we have decided to
make some changes in the exc
cutive com. for next year. We
have endeavored to represent
as far as possible the different
parts of the county; also the
different farmers clubs, think
ing this would be to the advan-
tage of the institute.
The executive committee as
corrected is as follows:
S. M. Blackman, Woodbine.
G. H. Longman, Mo. Valley.
Mrs. Allie johnson, Logan.
Mrs. Wilson Doty, Mo. Valley
Mrs. Laura Peterson, Logan.
VIM. Gilbert, Woodbine.
w. B. Gilkerson, Magnolia.
Mrs. A. S. Rice, Woodbine.
We hope all the friends will
remember that the institute is
not for a few people, or for one
or two communities, but for the
whole country. Our object is
to increase it's interests and ex-
tend it's influences. With this
end in view, let all work to-
gether this year. There is no
doubt plenty of latent talent
among the farmers, and we
want to bring it out. If you
know a farmer in the country
whose experience would benefit
others, and who is competent
and willing to tell what he
knows in an interesting manner
ask some member of the com
mittee to make note of the fact.
With all respect and due thanks
to those who have so nobly aid
ed in the past, the institute is
always anxious to have new
names on the program. If
many of ability have been LEFT
out year after year, it was only
because the members of the ex-
committee do not know every
one in the county, or what they
can or will do.
Let our aim be to make the
institute better every year and
IT possible, the best in the
state.
Ex-Secy.

FAST MAIL TRAIN
KILLS YOUTH INSTANTLY
Son of Vim. Russell Meets Instant
Death This Afternoon.

Lee Russell, aged 10 years,
son of William Russell, fireman
at the Miller hotel and living
on South Ninth street, was kill
ed in the east end of the North
Western yards in this city this
afternoon by fast mail train
No. Is in charge of engineer
Tom Savage. At the point
where the fatality occurred
there is a sharp curve and the
fast mail train rounded this
curve under almost full speed
and was within a few feet of
the boy before the engineer
saw him.
Just a few minutes previous
to the accident a switch crew
brought a string of cars from
the West yards and left them
on the East bound main line.
The Russell boy and another
companion whose name cannot
be learned had been playing on
the North side of the tracks,
East of the Updike elevator
considerable distance.
just as the fast mail passed
the long bridge East of town
the two boys started for the
south side of the track. They
had to cross over the west
bound main line in so doing and
had crawled between the box
cars, the companion of the Rus
sell boy being a short distance
ahead.
The boys stepped onto the
west bound main line Just as
the fast mail train rounded the
curve, the engineer not seeing
them until too late. The boy
whose identity is unknown as
yet, jumped and missed the
pilot of the engine but a few
inches, but the Russell boy was
too late, the heavy timber
along the top of the pilot
striking him on the head. His
neck was broken and the skull
crushed \! death resulting in
stantly.
The remains are now in
charge of Coroner Hennessey
and an inquest will be held
sometime tomorrow.

Double Service.
Last Saturday evening.

Last Saturday evening, ac-
cording to notice Red Cloud
Encampment held it's regular
meeting, and after holding a
short session, adjourned to give
Lillian Lodge No 20 Daughters
of Rebekah a chance to hold a
special session for the purpose
of work in the degrees. Dur
ing the evening the Yeomen
were holding a session, and on
adjournment of the Rebekah's
we received an invitation by a
lady to visit the Women and
unite in an open session. We
accepted the invitation, and
proceeded to the Walker Hall
where we found a very large
number of persons consisting of
men, women and children,
mothers with babes in theil
arms, old gray headed men and
youthful boys, all seeming de-
termlned to make as much of
life as possible. After shaking
hands with old acquaintance
some of whom we were surpris-
ed to see in the Hall, we took {
survey of surroundings. The
Hall was beautifully decorated
with bunt ng and pictures and
entWlned ribbons of red, white
and blue extending clear across
the hall from north to south,
presenting very artistic and
beautiful view, and giving a
very imposing and fine appear
ance to the hall.
After a reasonable time, all
present were seated on either
side of the hall, and soon the
ladies in waiting, appeared,
bringing in great loads of sand
wiches, and a full supply of
magnificent cake, to be eaten
with the most delicious coffee.
We enjoyed the repast, and
soon felt as the little boy who
called at a neighbors just as the
people were taking dinner, and
being invited to take a seat
at the table, which invitation
he accepted, and the good lady
OF the house filled his plate
with good things, which he
proceeded to eat, but as fast as
he finished his supply, the lady
filled his plate again, and he
soon found he had reached a
climax, and the tears began to
roll down his cheeks, when the
lady said: whats the matter,
my SOM when the boy said:
Il can't eat any more" After
all had been served. quite a
number formed on the floor and
proceeded to enjoy a real old
fashioned dance, which made
us wish 1--WE were young again"
The occasion was one of de-
light, the supper served was
most excellent and all present
seemed to be happy. At a late
hour the meeting adjourned,
and we retired to our home to
try and sleep, but found after
drinking coffee at a late hour,
that pleasant dreams disturbed
our slumbers, and we thought
we were living in a field of Mo-
cha and Java coffee, surround
ed with bright eyed maidens
and manly young men, who
had assembled to enjoy life.
We felt glad that we were a
Woman, even if only a proxey,
and congratulated the officers
and members of that organizs-
ton on their successful celebra-
ton on last Saturday evening.
