La Generosa, as PoIizzi is surnamed,
says a writer in the Atlantic Month

This small town, once a Norman

whip for the Saracens-stands on an
extraordinary rock or precipice at an
elevation Of over 5000 feet sheer from
the surrounding mountain region. In
the middle ages Polizzi was one of the
most prosperous inland towns Of the
Sicilian highlands, though how it
could ever have been so may well puz-

rock, or against the sleety rain and

The Life Of a Book.

Interviewed by the Book Monthly.
A. NJ. S. Methuen admits that IAN
enormous amount of rubbish is pub
lished," but he holds that because it
has no likelihood Of living it does little
harm. There are few people. he tells
us. who realize how short the life of
an average book is and how far short
err it is getting. Fifteen years ago
YOU could count on its existence for
two or three years. Now three books
out of four are almost dead as
mutton in three months. You
NAV sell a few copies afterT ard,
but the sale that remunerates the au-
thor and publisher is over before you
know where you are Taken alto
gether. Mr.. Methuen considers pub
fishing the most difficult business in
the world" adding that with cOmpe-
tition it is getting more difficult" The
publisher need not look for wealth;
but among his compensations is the
interest OF his calling-"the literary in
terest, which is grateful and agreeable
under all circumstances" - London

The agent for 1.-The Modern World

driveway and glanced again at the
bright red flag which huttered from
the front porch.
Coming up or amt yep called a
chair on the porch and turned toward
the stranger.
Are you going to have an auction
or have you got scarlet fever or some
thing there?" called the agent.
'Tain't any auction, that's certain
sure" bawled the voice from the
porch; "and 1 don't reckon it's scarlet
fever, either, leastways the doctor amt
said so. Come up, won't yep
Il guess not today" called the book
agent, and he sped on up the road.
The man ON the porch resumed his
seat and looked affectionately at the
small red flag.
Living outside the village as we
do, 1 don't know how we'd manage
without that little flag" he remarked
to the summer boarder.
ut comes handy more ways than

in times past we've had agents for

smoothed the small flag tenderly as he
took it into the house.

HONEYMOONS IN OKLAHOMA
Mutual Editor Says They Are A1mos'
Unknown in His Section.

Mutual Editor Says They Are Almost
Unknown in His Section.
The honeymoon, as the term usual
ly implies, is about as scarce in this
section as snowballs in August, says
the Mutual %. IT, Enterprise. We do
not mean to convey that our people
never get married, for weddings are
getting Of such common occurrence
that the boys forget to serenade the
contracting parties any longer.
When one Of our young couples gets
married they do not spend a month
honeymooning, as Is the custom In the
East, but they settle down to the rou-
tine of life with the one harmonious
purpose Of building up a comfortable
and happy home. Instead Of spoon
ing" around over the country, attract
ing the attention Of everybody, look
ing sickeningly lovable and calling
each other all kinds Of sweet little
"chestnuts," the newly married may
be found at work the next day follow
ing the nuptials. It may be the bride
will put out big washing, while the
other half will be found blowing corn
and carrying water simultaneously.
And this is not a result Of a lack Of
respect for the nuptial relationship,
but the opposite. The average bene-
dict here is highly respectful Of his
marriage relation. No one is more
cautious to recognize the rights and
wishes Of his wife than he. Always
upon leaving home he takes the pre-
caution to kiss her good-by, under pen
atty Of turning prematurely bald or in
wiling some other calamity equally as
undesirable This Is evidence Of his
devotion, but the wife is no less at
tentive and on the whole few of our
married couples have ever found it
necessary to dissolve partnership.
But the period known as the hon
eymoon" has dropped out 1t is a
dead letter In this part Of Oklahoma
and some Of US older folks are mighty
glad Of it

Private Car Lines.

The railroads seem very willing to have
the private car lines brought under
the jurisdiction of the Interstate Com
merce Commission. A railroad presi-
dent is authority for the statement that
lines are paid mileage, without dis
elimination, and the question of ex-
cessive charges is matter for the ship
per to settle with the car lines, so long
as there is no law to govern their rates.
Car milage paying has been decided to
be as legal as the payment of rental for
property.

AS invariably at Narragansett, the last
week in June has proved wholly a period
of preparation. Sunday was about the hot
test day so far this year, but Monday
brought a surprising drop in the mercury,
and with the change came hail. rain ana
wind storms, as short as they were severe.
Some folk We're driven back to town, and
the number of arrivals was materially cut
down. The freakish temperatures have
operated to make business TO date almost
the poorest on recoru, not even excepting
the year of the Spanish war, but there are
many Indications that when the season
does start 1t will be at full speed.
The new casino is approaching compile
ton on the outside, but it will be about
two weeks before the interior is done. 1t
will be impossible to use the ball room for
three weeks except in an unfinished state,
even by continuing the work Sundays,
which proceeding has met with strong OPP
position even on secular grounds. There
will, however, be no entertaining worthy
of the name here for two weeks yet so no
one will be the loser. Hotel arrivals are
never large until the Fourth has passed.
Great improvements are being made by
widening several roads at congested points
with a view to avoiding runaway and au-
tomobile accidents. Exchange place, in
front of the Casino, will soon be fifty feet
wide, while the driveway to the Point
Judith country IS also being broadened.

NEWPORT, r. l., July 1, 1905.
The principal event Of this week was the
annual exhibit of roses and strawberries by
the Newport Horticultural Society, the
, choicest products Of the gardens on the
cliffs being in competition. Some of the
millionaires showed more eagerness in cap
turing certificates of merit for their bios
SONS than If they had been rich racing
stakes. There was rather less tea pouring
by the contestants for the prize winners
than in years past.
The Casino Orchestra will begin its con-
certs July 10. Until then there will be little
doing at that resort. The national lawn
tennis tournament there will last from Au-
gust % to 20, later date than usual, which
will again set the horse show over into the
first week in September-its customary
place until last year. when 1t fell in the
last week of August. The second week in
September has been taken for the Newport
flower show at the Casino, but the crowd
will have begun fitting by that time. The
Atlantic coast squadron is due August IL, so
that activities, as invariably. will be thrown
into the last three weeks of August

FOREIGN LOANS TO WALL STREET
Will Europe Recall It's Advances in
the FallP
From the New York Evening Pos

From the New York Evening Post
This weeks sharp rise in the price of
London remittances, with the approach of
the July disbursement period, gives inter-
est to the willingness of foreign markets
to renew loans made to Wall street borrow
ers. France, Germany and England nave
all been heavy lenders in Wall street since
April, putting out according to conserva-
tive estimates, between 10000 and $75,-
100000 in ninety-day loans which mature
during September and October Many of
renewal SO as to carry them over the year.
In cases where this option has not been
given. however the question arises. will
the lenders renew freely if the borrowers
desire 1t?
This depends largely on the outcome OF
the crops, since the funds were advanced
In expectation that the Indebtedness would
be liquidated with the export of grain and
cotton. There is every prospect that this
will be DONE for the outlook is favorable
for an abundant harvest. Should anything
happen to the crops, however, we would
probably have 10 ship gold heavily. This
occurred in 1901, when the corn crop failed
and we exported $50. 1853 247 gold to France
and Germany during October and November
alone.
The extraordinary outflow at that time
was rendered necessary by the refusal of
foreign lenders 10 renew loans made to
our bankers. The situation this year Is
complicated by the probable influence of
the peace loans which Russia and japan
are expected to announce as war
ends. Commenting the probaf u posi-
ton of the Paris market. a banker who has
loaned millions at this center ESr French
houses pointed out this week that the for
eIgn lenders would not in any event recall
funds suddenly since such a course might
lead to general disturbance, Interfering with
their plans to assist Russia.
