Mr.. William StearnS Davis, whose
two novels, "A Friend of Caesar" and
God Wills It. achieved such a prompt
popularity two years ago, has another
novel practically ready for the, press,
1t will be published by The Macmillan
Company sometime during the spring.
1t will be remembered that this au-
thor's first successful novel was writ
ten before he graduated at Harvard
and was considered an extraordinary.
feat for a man of his years on atco1ihf
of the wide scholarship and reading in
volved in the preparation of the story
Who is there nowadays that has read
that quantity curious. book of Harriet
Martineau's-Society in America? Yet
it is full of good stories and bons mots.a
Here, for instance, is a dialogue be-
tween two Western settlers which she
reports:
Whose land was that you bought ?"
"Mogg's."
What is the soil?"
Dogs"
What is the climate?"
'Fogs." a
What do you get to eat?"
Hogs
What do you build your house of"
Logs"
Have you any neighbors?"
Frogs"
On one occasion Miss Martineau met
a dressmaker who was anxious that
she should write something about
Mount Auburn Cemetery. On being
interrogated as to what kind of article
she had in her mind, she said that she
would have Mount Auburn considered
in three points of view; as it was in
the day of creation, as it is now, and
as it will be in the day of resurrec-
ton. Miss Martineau liked the idea
so well that she got the dressmaker
to write the essay herself.
Onoto Watanna's claim that she
originated the Pigeon English used
with such engaging effect by the hero
ines of her "a Japanese Nightingale"
and ''The Wooing of Wistaria'' has not
been dsproven. Miss Watanna began
developing and writing this quaint dia-
lect some years ago in her first short
stories, which antedated the later Jap
anese tales of other authors. Miss
Watanna's use of the dialect is at once
amusing and tender, and is not the
least charm of her work. Apropos of
this, there must still be an almost I'M

Mr. Winston Churchill is now pre-

'There seems to be no sense of the
prophecies regarding the discussion of
certain phases of society which are
seldom spoken of among us, but which,
in London. you may hear young de-
butantes discussing in the most candid
way. Vice in the abstract is openly
discussed, and frequently forms the
sole topic of conversation at dinner
parties where both men and women are
present. The example of fast life set
by the nobility is partly responsible
for this state of affairs.
Drinking is INDUCED in on a much
more temperate scale in London than
it is here, and in fact than it was there
a few years ago. The incest people
imbibe only the light wines, and while
you often see dinner begin and end
with champagne, almost never do you
see variety of wines, while liqueurs
and whistles are absolutely tabooed In
drink the stronger liquors after the
women have left the table and sought
the seclusion of the drawing rooms.

signed to him. Schwab became en-
gineer and then superintendent
When hardly out of his teens Schwab
rebuilt the Homestead mills. He was
80 years old when Capt Jones was
killed and he became general super
intendent of the Edgar-Thompson
works, at a salary of $4,000 a year.
1t may be said that Schwab's music
inspired Mr. Carnegie's philanthropy
in the direction of church organs. He
played an organ which Mr. Carnegie
had installed in his home. He was "A
fine performance. At the Franciscan
school where he had received his mu-
steal education he had spent many
hours at the organ. The music he pro-
duced in Mr.. Carnegie's home was diff
ferent from any the steelmaster had
ever heard. The result was accom-
plished by the combination of good
instrument and a good performer
On the subject of religion Mr.. Car
negie has always been discreet about
expressing a public opinion, but years
ago he is said to have remarked that
good music would soothe the soul of
any human creature"
I've been to many churches" he
said one evening to Schwab, while the
latter was playing, but l haven't
heard much of that kind of music"
Il think il is the fault of the or
gans," said Schwab
1t was not long after that when Mr..
Carnegie presented the Homestead
Church with the finest organ that
money could buy.
The subject of Mr.. Schwab's appar-
ent prodigality once led some of his
friends to an interesting discussion.
They finally decided that Mr.. Schwabs
generosity was partly due to a lack Of
knowledge of the real value of money
because he had never known the ex-
perience of being 'pinched" for it.
Schwab was not a poor boy. It is
true he drove a stage for his father at
Loretto, but that was in vacation time
and more for recreation than anything
else

has grown too much to weed, and is
not we'll fruited, but generally it has
fruited nicely, with comparatively lit

where cotton is shedding both leaves

and is spreading rapidly. Open hollis
have been noted in Beaufort and
Georgetown counties, with Indications
of early opening of bolls over The
