The Mask of a Phrase.

The directness of the appeal in liter
try expression involves a compleXity
of revolt against old forms. The writ
er is more variously tempted than the
speaker into indirections. The latter
would never call the sun ''the orb of
day. or by the classic name of "Phoe-
bus" Yet there was period in Eng
lish literature which lasted for a long
time and is not even now wholly be-
yond the reach of our recollection
when it seemed a breach of dignity for
a writer to call anything by its right
name. The concrete thing must be re-
lieved of its vulgarity by the mask
of a phrase. The horse was 1.-The feet
courser." and all fruits were indiscrim-
inately "Pomona's treasures" Quail
ties abstract enough in their common
names were redeemed from the vice
of particularly by personifcation. The
processes of abstraction and generaliza-
ton in the so called classic age Of
English literature uprooted all things
and set them floating in the air; the
mind was not simply a mirror reflect
ing things, but made composite photo
graphs of the images themselves. Ma
ture was seen as bundle of these COM
posites.-H. II. Alden in Harper's
Magazine.

WOman's Literary Society.

The WOman's LiteraryClub met
on Saturday afternoon with Mrs.
DenbO. Sidney Lanier's life and
works were the subjects for dis
cussiOn, Miss Leftwich gave a
paper on his life, which was
thoroughly interesting. Johns
Hopkins University by Mrs.
DenbO and a poem entitled my
Springs by Mrs. o. B. Hopkins,
composed the program.
The souvenir cards, which
were the work of the hostess,
were crayon pictures of Lanier's
with quotations from his poems.
The club members feel much
encouraged to continue their
work in the public schools since
their first attempt met with the
approval of the teachers and the
school board, whose notes of ap-
probation were read before the
Club. The members propose to
extend their school work next
year and will give a free scholar
ship to the Industrial Institute,
and hope to interest others in
this cause, that it may become
permanent. The next meeting
will be held at Mrs. BiOssat's.

Caught in the Act.

Saturday night Deputy Mar
shall Veazey arrested Mcbride
Mouton, a young white man,
and placed him in Jail under the
charge of attempted arson. The
officer stated that ever since the
Pelican Grist Mill fire. they have
been shadowing Mouton, believ-
ing that he set it on fire. Satur-
day night Officer Veazey was
watching him as usual, when he
saw him get some waste cotton:
and place it under the Southern
Pacific freight depot, then strike
a match and attempt to ignite it,
but the match went out. He
struck q second and tried again,
but failed. Then Officer Veazey
arrested him, when Mouton said,
What are you going to do about
it? NY word is as good as yours.
Mouton is of good family, but
has lived q dissipated life, which
his friends believe has rendered
him irresponsible at times.

GOOD ROADS CONVENTION
Five States Will Participate in
the r1eeting at New Orleans,
April 6 and Z.

On April 8 and =. there will be
held in the City of New Orleans the
Southern Good Roads Convention"
Governor w. w. Heard of Louisiana.
Mayor Capdevielle of New Orleans. the
Progressive Union. and all other COM
mercial organizations of that city have
joined with the National Good Roads
Association, and the Office of Public
Road Inquiries. United States govern
ment, in issuing the call and inviting
State and national legislators, road SUI
pervisOrs, county surveyors and plant
ers and farmers. The Governors of
Texas. Tennessee. Mississippi and Ala
bama will be invited to attend and
speak: also to issue prOclamatiOns and
appoint delegates. The railroads have
granted one fare. plus y cents, to all
delegates within the above named
States. 1t promises to be the largest
and most influential industrial meeting
v e called in the South. State organ
izations will be effected, and the fol-
lowing subjects considered:
First-The necessity of a State High
way Commission to create system and
economy in road affairs.
Second-The adoption of the Estate
aid" plan, whereby the legislatures will
appropriate funds to assist the several
counties in road improvement. New
York, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts,
New Jersey and Connecticut have al
ready adopted this system and are
showing wonderful progress in road
Improvement
Third-The enactment of vagrancy
laws, whereby able-bOdied c~Onvicts,
tramps and Migrants shall be used in
preparing material and in the con-
struction of roads. Mississippi, Geor-
gia, Virginia and other Southern states
have already enacted vagrancy laws,
which comprehend the arrest of idlers
and Migrants, and placing them on
public work in the localities where
found.
1t is the duty of every road official,
taxpayer and legislator to attend the
Southern Good Roads Convention at
New Orleans, April 8 and !, and
join in bringing about progressive
measures which will inaugurate a sys-
tenn of road improvements in these
States.
Several bills are now pending in the
F~ifty-eighth Congress imploring Fed
eral aid in road building. Possibly
some bill may be enacted by that ses-
sion. If not, the subject is receiving
so much attention from all sections of
the country, that it is almost certain
the Federal government will enact
legislation in the Fifty-ninth Congress,
making an appropriation to aid the
several States and territories in the
improvement of the common roads.
President Roosevelt: Hon. James
Wilson, Secretary of Agriculture; Hon.
Henry G. Payne, Postmaster General;
and Hon. George B. COrtelyOu, Secre-
tary Department of Commerce and La
Dor, together with all United States
Senator's and congressman represent
ing these five States will be invited to
participate.

A Curious Phenomenon.

A singular phenomenon occurs on
the borders of the Red sea at a place
called Nakous, where intermittent I'M
derground sounds have been heard for
an unknown number Of centuries. 1t
is situated at about half a miles dis
reach of sands ascends rapidly to
height of 300 feet. This reach is about
eighty feet wide and resembles an am
phitheater, being walled in by low
rocks. The sounds coming up from the
ground at this place recur at intervals
of about an hour. They at first resem-
BILE low murmur, but ere long there
is heard loud knocking somewhat
like the strokes of bell and which at
the end of about five minutes becomes
so strong as to agitate the sand.
The explanation Of this curious phe-
nomenon given by the Arabs is that
there is a convent under the ground
here, and that these sounds are those
Of the bell which the monks ring for
prayers. So they call it Nakous, which
means bell. The Arabs affirm that
the noise so fnghtens their camels
when they hear it as to render them
furious. Philosophers attribute the
sound to suppressed volcanic action
probably to the bubbling Of gas or va
pors underground. - Newcastle (Eng-
lanO Chronicle.

A Costly RetOrt.

"When Chief Justice Chase, man Of
great abilities and marked characteris-
ties, was presiding in one of the coun-
ty courts Of Vermont" said lawyer
Of the state, ''an appeal case from q
Justices court came up before him, so
small and contemplate in its origin
that he ordered it stricken from the
docket. The case was where turkey
had trespassed upon the garden Of a
neighbor and got shot for mis- depreda-
tons. The owner brought suit to re-
cover damages and, failing before the
Justice, had appealed the case. Judge
Chase was angry and when he ordered
the case from the docket said:
g The lawyer who consented to ap-
peal this case ought to be thrown from
the window of the courtroom. Why
didn't he have the case referred to
some of the honest neighbors for set
tlement?
Because, your HONOR retorted the
attorney, getting hot under the collar,
it was our intention not to let honest
people have anything to do with it,
''True, this was neat retort, but it
cost the lawyer just an even $50 for
contempt of court

Reminding Her.

At home stations the British private
soldiers washing is usually done by
the married soldiers wives, who are
expected to sew on missing buttons
and do repairs, for which small sum
is deducted from the privates' pay.
Pat McGinnis had good deal of trou-
bic with his laundress. Sunday after
Sunday had his shirt come back with
the neck button of or else hanging by
thread. He had spoken to her on the
subject, and she had promised to see to
it, but still the button was not on
properly.
He got out Of patience one Sunday
when the missing button had made him
late for parade and exclaimed:
Bother the woman! I'll see if I
can't give her hint this time any
how
He then took the lid Of tin black
ing box about three inches in diameter,
drilled two holes in it with fork and
sewed it on to the neck Of the shirt
that was next to be washed When
his washing came back, he found that
she had taken the hint. She had made
q buttonhole to fit it.-London Tele.
