American literature has recently been on the
Hssecting table In 'aThe Reader" In the cur
rent number, it's different phases having preVt-
pusy been discussed I'm detail, there Is chap
ter on It's Leading Characteristics" sort OF
summary showing why 1T is that we ought to
be proud Of our country's writers. The char
acteristics are carefully numbered. First we
have Liberalism, or Independence which,
with the gravity Of q venerable photographer,
the historian goes On to define as "a desire
and determination to think and act untram-
meled by dogma convention" Characteristic
No. is we rejoice to hear, "Individualsm,"
and No is '@The regard for nature as vital
part of the world" This nearly takes our
breath away. We would like to see the liter
AZURE which takes nature strictly Erele-
want and insignificant part of the world. Per
haps they make it down Patagonia way. How
ever, we must hasten to No. 4 This is ga
romantic interest in our country, love of Its
traditions, its early life and its picturesque
ness" Here we are on firm ground Scott
himself, If he were living to-day, would be the
first to admit that this characteristic was only
imported into literature when the Indiana
school Of novelists arose Filthy, we go In Tor
'homeliness and directness" OF course we do.

For a moment we had the direst suspicious that

The discoveries made by the young lions of
literary Journalism are always delightful Here
is one new Columbus, a Mr.. Cecil Chesterton,
writing In the London Saturday Review"
with some light TO shed Dickens that is al
most dazzling. Dickens" says he, "was be-
yond question a great mantle greatest ele-
mental genius, 1 think, that England has pro-
dIced since Shakespeare" There is something
warming about that beyond all question" 1t
is so good Of Mr.. Chesterton to reassure US In
the matter of Dickens's greatness. But we are
even more grateful for what follows "He was
also an exceedingly clever man, with ready
ard fluent pen, who wrote clever stories and
could, do not doubt have written clever plays.
But his greatness and his cleverness were quite
Independent of each other and indeed con-
stantly thwarted and dwarfed each other"
Poor Dickens! If only his masterpieces could
be rewritten in the light of Mr. Chesterton's
wisdom! But seriously, it seems n pity that
a great writer should be patronized in this way
in the columns of q journal pretending to crit
ical authority. If Mr. ChestertOn is so strange
" insensftve to the shades of meaning in
volved in the of words that he cannot feel
the incongruity of describing Dickens as IAN
exceedingly clever man, with n ready and flu
ent pen," why does not lis editor step in with
blue pencil2 But it seems to be considered
brilliant nowadays to leave merely respectful
treatment of the great to those whom the "ad-
Janced" dabsters consider old fogieA

There would appear to be something wrong
with French poetry. Not long ago we had oc-
casion to note the founding In Paris Of quar-
terly projected to give the ~Symbolists' a
chance; In other words TO support poedcal
ideals not potent enough IN themselves to com
pei the appreciation of the average editor. Now
we are apprised by '@The Athenaum" that III
Sally Prudhomme as honorary president of
tie Poetes Francais, has come forward with a
petition to the government demanding for the
fifty thousand poets of France Prix de Rome,
cor something OF the same description. In
common with the painters, sculptors and mu-
sicians." They do not want diplomas, but they
do want to be Officially" recognized. Pre-
sumably this wish Is to be traced to the in
horn passion of the French for the things which
make for balance and order. But what in the
world has it to do with poetry Even though
the desire for state recognition has the sane
ton of national instinct, 1t is hard to believe
that q true poet would be the better for the
possession of ministerial stepfather. Perhaps
the next thing we hear viii be that the "Poetes
Trancais" have formed themselves into a
union, with all manner of rules and regulations,
pains and penalties. There is one obstacle,
however, to the development of such body,
and we fancy it will serve as well to nip the
poetical Prix de Rome in the bUd-a French
man hates to be made ridiculous.

BLIND BEGGAR HAS MONEY
$50, 900 in Bank and Owns Maqnifi-
cent Home. Arrested for Solicit
ing Aims on the Streets.

Having a bank account estimated at
100000 and owning a magnificent
home at Pittston, blind beggar has
been arrested at Altoona, Pa, on the
charge of professional panhand-
ling" He arrived in Altoona one
morning and importuned the police
officials for permission to beg on the
streets, alleging he had a family to
support. He wore a Grand Army
button, and claimed he had served
four years in the civil war. He pre-
sented to Chief of Police Tillard a
begging card. related tale of woe
and stated that his eyes were blown
out by premature explosion in a
mine.
The city has stringent laws against
begging on the streets: but the old
man told such a pitiable stony that
Chief Tillard reluctantly gave him
permission to solicit aims from the
charitably disposed. The chief start
ed him off with a dollar contribution
After he had left police headquar-
tiers Chief of Police Mullen and Officer
Brandler Of Georgetown, who were in
Altoona on special work, ran across
the old man on street corner and
recognized him. He had been in
J0hnstown, they said. and his record
had been looked up.
Chief Tillard was informed that the
poor blind beggar' was none other
than a wealthy resident of Pittston
SO the chief at once decided that so
wealthy an old soldier had no right
to beg any more money from Altoona
people, and gave orders that he should
be Immediately arrested.

he was about seventeen years of age
he formed the habit CT going over to
the neighboring village of Scrooby,
where he came in contact with Ell
der Brewster and others Of a new
sect, who used to meet and worship
in the stable of an ancient manor
house. The "Separatist" brethren,
who a few years later fed to Hol-
land to escape the persecution that
had become uncomfortable, came
largely from these two villages of
Austerfield and Scrooby.

men of Austerfield, in response to
the letter from the American com

the churchyard wall, right in front
of the church porch, and ship it to

request. 1t arrived safely short
time ago, and was Immediately put
on exhibition.
1t is hoped presently to bring
several of the ancient pavement

undoubtedly trod frequently during
their sojourn in Holland. Ifsecured,
the bricks will be used somewhere
in the construction of the monu-

THE WORLD AGAINST HIM.
The Small Boy and His Sorrows
and His joys.

The small boy now mournfully gath
ers his we'll thumbed school books
from the corner of the closet where
they have reposed all summer, resur-
reefs his slate from a dusty shelf and
ruefully turns the leaves of the calen-
dar marking the days of the next eight
or nine months. He feels, deep down
in his heart, that he has not friend
in the world; that the hand of every
man is against him and appraised for
his oppression. To him, personal
liberty" is mockery. Lectures at

who will ever amount to a continental

ambitious in youth are to his mind
inventions of IMPLYING ogres, the
sole purpose of whose existence was,
when they lived, to invent fresh tor
lures for helpless and inoffensive ju-
veniles.
He counts the long weeks that stretch
before, makes careful mental note of
every holiday and wonders how many
circuses will vary the mOnotony of
books and blackbOards. He wonders
whether the girl he likes best will sit
in the school where they can see each
other without being seen by the teach

nose of the red-headed boy with
freckles who was an active rival dur
ing the last school term.
It's rough old world. Don't no.

body'll feel how mean they've been.

The Passing of a Boom.

Frsm the Griffin News and Sun.
When the HOke Smith boom first
struck this community some weeks
ago it apparently carried everything
before it. Even those who were at
heart opposed to it bowed their heads
INCREASINGLY before the gale and let
it pass over them.
But at this writing not only has the
boom spent it's force here, but it seems
about to collapse of its own weight,
with all the hot air knocked out of it,
and more expressions are heard
against Mr.. Smiths candidacy than
in favor of it.
This took place gradually at first,
more because of the unsustained
charges of Mr.. Smith against other
people than any charges brought
against him.

FAT MEMS CLUB REVIVAL.
Fifteen Present at Annual Meeting

E1Iteen FFeSenI AT AnnuAA MSSNAnk
Pledge New Member.
Straddling huge log that had drift
ed in from the sea or sprawled out at full
length and width on the Long Island
sound washed shore fifteen fat men,
all members of the once famous Fat
Mems association, were gathered at
Gregory's point, Conn, the other aft
ernoon for the organizations thirty
ninth annual reunion, says a South
Norwalk Comm special dispatch to the
New York Herald.
All mourned the gradual downfall of

rotary, had worked unremittingly for
the success Of this years meet with a
view of reorganization, but at the
business meeting it was thought better
to let the matter go over Indefinitely,
as each member present promised to
bring another member when another
year had rolled around.
The ranks of the fat men have been
little thinned during the last decade
by deaths. and while the recent show
ing was not as strong numerically as
it has been the quality was fine. ia
cob Schaub, the president, Il few years
ago the liliputian Of the organization,
tips the scales at 1856 pounds. The
greeting between those who had not
seen one another for a year was not
How do you dof" but What do you
weigh this year, or Are you as big
as you were last yearY
Most of the members had not seen
the secretary since last years dinner,
and they were greatly shocked at his
changed appearance. In twelve months
Mr.. Murphy had faded from $40
pounds to 296 pounds, and, although
he vigorously denied it, it is said that
he is still losing. The members walk
ed around him. punched him, felt of
his flesh and in other ways tried to
determine what was responsible for the
deplorable change
Mr.. Schaub almost tainted when he
heard that he had been entered for a
100 yard dash. He was matched
against Robert Folks of New York,
but mistake was made in putting the
race off until after dinner, and then ne
one could run. Everybody managed
20 squeeze into his place except the
president. He could not get seated
because of the limited room between
the edge of the table and the wall be-
hind it, After everything else had
failed a waiter brought a long plank,
which was used as a shoe horn, and he
was finally forced into the space al
lotted to him.
Letters Of regret were read from
President Roosevelt and Sir Thomas
Upton.

STARVATION IN PANAMA.
Men at Work on the Canal Are SUI
fering for Food. Thirty Cents a
Pound for Bad Meat.

1t is learned that a condition of
practical starvation which has several
times recently broken out among Pan
anna canal laborers was one of the
grounds which caused Chairman
ShOnts Of the Panama canal commits
sion to accept the J. E. Markell bid
for supplying food to government en-
ployes at Panama, which has caused
two unsuccessful bidders to protest to
President Roosevelt.
Chief Engineer Stevens has been
sending daily entreaties to headquar-
tiers to send his men food. Some of
the men who have been doing the
hardest work have been in state of
half starvation owing to the fact that
food is placed at abnormal figures in
Parma. Bad meat is selling at from
20 to 80 cents per pound, and the men
have gone for days at time without
other food than sucking the wild cane
in the swamps. In this emergency one
of the reasons for accepting the
Markell bid, it is learned, was the fact
that he has an organized force ready
to put into Panama at once.

Mexico's Cotton Crop.

years cotton crop was Is, 900 bales.
The lowest estimate for the present
year is 10000 and possibly 100, 900
bales. The cotton produced in the re-
public is about one-third of the guam
tity required for native mills. The
annual increase in acreage is smaller.
Reports of experiments with the cotton
tree are not very satisfactory, and it

In a store window on the quaint
Naain street of ProvincetOwn, Mass,
on the sandy extremity of Cape Co..
there is on exhibition one OF the
stones which will be used in build
ING the Pilgrim Monument to com
memorate the first landing of the
Mavfower pilgrims on this side OF
the Atlantic.
One might almost say that it is
the only stone on the cape, for any
thing larger than a pebble is hard
to fndamong the pine-covered dunes
of this lands end; there are, how
ever. a few other slabs brought here
for special purposes. This particu-
lar stone, like all the rest, is not a
native. A few weeks ago it reposed
in wall of the village churchyard
of Austerfield, England, the town
from which Gov. William Bradford
and several others of the pilgrims
originally came.
And that is the explanation OF the
stones being here. 1t is to be used
as the first block laid when the Cape
Cod Pilgrim Memorial Association,
which already has in hand more
than 800, 200, begins work upon the
monument that is to grace the sum-
NIT of Pilgrim Hill and add another
TO the many attractions of the Gu
rious old fishing town.
To have brought this stone from
it's historic setting in England to
the first landing place of the pill
grims, where they spent several
weeks before settling at Plymouth,
is characteristic, as everybody
knows who has summered on the
odd-shaped peninsula, of the patri-
otto and enterprising spirit Of the
Cape Codders of today. Here is
land that is loyal to its oppOrtuni-
ties. The people on this arm of
Massachusetts are found always to
be fully alive to the advantages Of
their position and doing everything
in their power to make the towns
and hamlets that nestle among the
wind-swept sand hills as attractive
as possible to that large portion of
the American public which makes
for the cooler parts Of New Eng
land at the time when the hot waves
begin to roll across the continent.
Prosperity has been wooed and
won by industry. The good roads,
maintained with difficulty in land
of shifting dunes; the clean, we'll
painted houses, and the general air
of thrift in every part of the Cape,
unquestionably have had as much
to do with its capitalization as the
many natural charms of the region
So that the big memorial on the eX-
tremity of the Cape will signaliza
not onlythe historic fact of the land
ing of the pilgrims On the Cape, bat
the disposition which has animated
the communities from Plymouth to
PrOvincetOwn these many years.
The historical connection Of the
names of Austerfield and Province
town is such that it can be readily
understood why an officer of the
Pilgrim Memorial Association wrote
recently to the parish clerk in the
little Nottinghamshire village to ask
if it would not be possible to secure
a stone which should represent the
motherland's contribution to the
monument. The reasonableness of
the request was apparent. Governor
William Bradford, leader Of the pill
grims in the hardships of the first
winter at Plymouth, was born at
Austerfield, the registry of his bap-
tism appearing in the parish regis

The popularity and increase in the sales of Hyomei are unique in the an- nals of medicine. Such astonishing cures have been made by this remedy that the proprietors have authorized E.. G. Fowler to sell every package of Hyomei under an absolute guarantee that it will cure catarrh. If 1t does not, the purchaser can have his money re- funded by Mir. Fowler.
 Hyomei is no ordinary remedy. It is the only method of treatment that sends by direct inhalation to the most remote part of the air passages bal samic air that destroys all catarrhal germs in the breathing organs, enrich es and purifies the blood with additional ozone, and makes a permanent and complete cure of catarrh.
 The complete Hyomei outfit costs but SI co and consists of an inhaler that can be carried In the vest pocket, a medicine dropper, and a bottle of Fly omei. The inhaler lasts lifetime, and if one bottle does not cure, an extra bottle of Hyomei can be obtained for 50 cents, It is the most economical of all remedies advertised for the cure of ca tarrh. and is the only one that follows Nature in her methods of treating dis eases of the respiratory organs.
 Breathe through the inhaler for a few minutes four times a day, and your catarrh is cured. That's all.
