BRITISH LITERARY PENSIONS.

Politics and Literature Sometimes
 sadly Mixed i'm the List.
 London Daily Telegraph.
 1t would be a purely ipvidious task to criticize the list of literary pensions drawn up by the government. some or its critics have betrayed pleasantly inrenuous ignorance of what literature ia What is worth noting Is that we have by official confession reached that stage of civilization when certain de- gree of literary achievement even In purely imaginative work is recognized as a title to the consideration or the State. Till very recent years the mere novelist fallen upon evil days had no hope of seeing his name on the civil list unless he had been R strong party man and his party was in power. It is q curious irony of fate that litera- ture should only have attained to such recognition in an age when its pecuni- ary necessities are less grave than ever before.
 Every one, of course. who knows any thing of the profession of the pen can tell more than one dismal story of la bor and ability ill-rewarded and pow erty ill-deserN ad. To commence au- thor" is still to embark on one of the most precarious of life's enterprises. Even the most successful novelist, as MT Zangwill once said. can only hope to attain to fame far less than a prize fighters and a position which he might with much less trouble have been born to-" The union of commer- cial acumen and imagination which Is required to attain success as noxel- ist would bring their happy possessor a far larger return in the city. Proba- bly, no man whose chief end in life is making money would even now take to writing books.
 Yet 1t remains true that the direct rewards of the pen are now grater than ever before. The whole body of English literature has not cost as much as the channel fleet. If you omit the novels, it is probable that all the rest has not cost the worth of one battle ship. But there is an improvement. Even grave authors of books which can never be in the base sense of the word popular" can count upon a wage which. if insignificant beside the in- come of leading barrister or sur geon. Is yet enough to live upon. This state of things, be 1t remembered. is comparatively of yesterday or today Carlyle was probably the first English writer of books not fiction or light verse who contrived to live upon his own literary earnings, and the bitter fight he fought with an exiguous in- come no one but Mrs. Carlyle and he would have won. Today there must be many who, without any pretense oI even desire, of being Carlyle, make a modest. but not insufficient, income from the writing of serious books.

The convention of American Bankers at Atlantic City last week adopted q resolution asking the Government to have It's bank notes printed in differeA. colors. according to the denominations slate color for the one-doilar bills; brown for the twos; green for the fives; blue for the tens; yellow for the twen- ties: pink for the ffties, and white for an huls of one hundred dollars or ovcr. That Is bully scheme and shou'd be adopted. Then if newspaper msn should come into possession of a nun dred-do'lar bill he would recognize it without calling In an expert.

 Few citizens of Montgomery seem to understand the conditions under to grant licenses for Che sale of intoxi- eating liquors." said an officer of the city yesterday. The Impression wide ly prevails that the only condition re- quired of an applicant for license ig that he have the endorsement of twen- ty freeholders of his ward.
 This Ia not true:At applicant must have the endorsement to be eligible but he must have other things too. .' He must be orderly and law-abiding. The. Council may not only decline to revoke license when 1t considers de- ciension or revocation wise.
 'Tn this way the Council Is empow-- cred to control the iiquor traff1c, and because of the empowering way am opposed to high license. No matter how low the license is the Council has the power to control, and If 1t does not control. 1t can blame itself.
 Even some applicants for license did not know all the requirements for license. More than one applicant. in- izens of his ward, went out into the midst and got the endorsements of prominent citxens living blocks out side of the proper jurisdiction."

The Washington Times advocates the pyramidal form for all sky-scraper buildings of the future. 1t would" ar gues The Times, eliminate these build ings which look like slices of red mud baked.

Easy to Mix This.

What will appear very inter-
esting to many people here is the
article taken from a New York
daily paper, giving a simple pre-
scription, as formulated by a
noted authority, who claims that
he has found positive remedy
to cure almost any case of back
ache or kidney or bladder de-
rangement, in the following sim
pie prescription, if taken before
the stage Of Bright's disease:
$ Fluid Extract Dandelion, one
half ounce; Compound Kargon,
one ounce; Compound Syrup
Sarsaparilla, three ounces. Shake
we'll in bottle and take in tea
spoonful doses after each meal
and again at bedtime.
A well-known druggist here at
home, when asked regarding this
prescription, stated that the in
gradients are all harmless, and
can be obtained at a small cost
from any good prescription phar-
macy, or the mixture would be
put up if asked to do so. He
further stated that while this
prescription is often prescribed
in rheumatic Affections with
splendid results, he could see no
reason why it would not be a
splendid remedy for kidney and
urinary troubles and backache,
as it has a peculiar action upon
the kidney structure, cleansing
these most important organs and
helping them to sift and filter
from the blood the foul acids and
waste matter which cause sick
ness and suffering. Those Of our
readers who suffer can make no
mistake in giving it trial.

Our correspondents in the Buff

been having lots Of fun regarding
the closing Of the schoolhouse at
the latter place to public gather
ings with the exception OF church
meetings, and we do not know
that it directly concerns US to an
extent that warrants us butting
in on something that we know
little of. 1t would seem to The
Chieftaip that the school board
had the right to exclude any or
all, and it then remained entirely
up to their strenuosity-a Roose-
veltian characteristic-to carry
out what they believed to be right
and for the best interests of the
district. 1t is such men, whether
right or not, that carry profound
respect, especially after the mat
ter blows over and those affected
give the matter more sober
thought.

the man who blames the editor
because it never works. The man
who gets business has a strong
and steady pull, and keeps his
trade and paper year to year quite
full. He plans his advertisements
in a thoughtful way, and keeps
forever at it until he makes it
pay.

WHISKY HABIT ON WANE

A great dry" wave is now

less he is reasonable" at least
in his indulgence.

Even in our own community
there is much stir in this matter
and an effort is now ON loot to
unite one or two precincts to that
of Holly in the next general cleo
ton, with the object in view of
making this dry town along
with the rest that have made this
move in recent years. The new
local option law makes it. possi-
BILE to do this and the precincts
lying west of us are practically
unit on the subject, while the
vote would be about evenly di-
vided in Holly, so it behooves
those engaged in the liquor and
gambling businesses to hold
themselves well within the law
else they may shortly find them
selves shut out entirely.
