as "The Carlyles," the long novel
which opens the August number Of
the Smart Set. 1t is by far her
most important story, and is a dis

novels. The scenes are laid in and
around Richmond, during the slir-
ring days Of 1865, and the introduce

novelist dealing with the Civil War
period has succeeded in creating

THE STORY TELLER.
HIS FIRST LIVE ONE.

During one of my trips through
Europe" says Charles Hawtrey. the
actor Il found myself in a small Will
age with no razors. They had been
packed in my handbag which had left
at the hotel where l had stayed the
day before. There was no barber shop
In the place and I was in Il quandary as
To how l might get shaved. The inn
keeper told me that there was n man in
the village who coca ssionally shaved PEG
pie. and | determined to risk cut or
two. and sent for him. The amateur bar
hcr arrived, and after little hesitation
he said to me-
" Will you please. sir. lie down fiat or
your hack while shave you. sir?'
'Thnl,ing that it was probably the
custom of the country, ! stretched out
comfortably on my back and nearly went
to sleep while the fellow shaved me. SC
light was his touch. When he had fin.
ished l said
~ am curious TO know why you ask
ed me to lie down to be shaved?
" Because. sir was his ingenious
reply, I never before shaved live man.
II may add that l sent for no more
amateur BARRIERS to shave me during
my trip"

MISTAKES OF CHILDREN.

a party of teachers at the convention at
Ocean Grove recently were discussing
the mistakes made by children. especially
in the matter Of single words. Some in
stances were cited
A Kindergarten told of one youngster in
her class who interpreted the line in a
school song 'rherc's a giant in me hid
as referring to something wrong with his
head. And indeed even those who have
not the least strain of Gaelic in their
blood may ind n weird and perverse tend
cncy in that phrase lin me hid" to sug.
gcst strange meanings.
Another teacher told OF a little girl--in
n Sunday school class this tme-who in
the hymn onward. Christian Soldiers
sang:
Christ, the railroad master,
Leads against the foe.
1t was the same pupil who originated
this reading of sentence in the Twenty
third Psalm: MY cup dumped over"
One child rendered line in song;
buckles it over his dirty back" for
sturdy back; and another tot, in re-
peatirg the Lords prayer, suddenly
stopped to call for an explanation OF the
line which he recited give us this day

The sensitiveness OF children was illus.
tratcd in the last story.
Il have been drilling a class for some
exercises at IA school entertainment" said
one teacher "The children were divided
into battalions and the leader OF the first

O'rom the Woodstock Age.)

A movement is said to be on foot to
secure the enactment of a law prohibit
ing the use of narrow roads by automo-
biles. The Oranges are taking the mat
ter up and it will be pushed until the
Legislature meets next year. 1t is not
tho intention to keep the steam and
gasoline wagons off any main high
ways. but it is an easily demonstrated
fact that many of our hill roads are too
narrow to admit Of the passing Of n ma
chine and horse at the same time; hence
the persistent protest from the dwell
ers on tho hills, who have to depend
on their four-footcd friends for transport
tation. All this seems to be in the line

ANOTHER PAUL JONES.

Washington, ID. c.,
July 81, 1905.
One can hardly take up newspaper
nowadays without reading something
about John Paul Jones. But 1t is not
generally known, l think. that about the
same time Of his exploits there was
another Paul Jones in active service in
the Revolution. 1t has for many years
been a favorite pastime of mine to search
through ancient cemeteries in Massac hu-
setts Connecticut and New York for
the graves of ancient and historic peo-
ple. On Long Island I explored five or
six old cemeteries in and about the viii
lagc of Southampton. in Suffolk Co.,
n. Y. saw there many old looking grave
stones in an enclosure scandalously ne
elected l found several graves OF peo-
pie familiar to me either as Revolution
airy heroes. or as partners with Zephaniah
Plat in the settlement of Pittsburgh,
and I stood entranccd for a time think
| ing ] had found the grave of the verit-
| able John Paul Jones.
Here Is the inscription just as it Is on
the stone:

Lieut.. Paul Jones

assume the latter was the father of
the young lieutenant.
| Lieut.. Paul Jones was In the Suffolk
Co. regiment with Nathaniel Platt in the
Battle Of Brooklyn. and as that battle
was fought about the last OF August

IT Is fair to presume that ne was fatally
