LITERATURE IS UNSAFE
 UNTIL II GETS CLASSIC
An illustration oF the Ease with Which It's Degeneration May be Accom- Rlished in a Brief Period.

IL $ the ufost difficult thing in the ' world to preserve literature in its orig inal puri,y until it has been. embaimed and becomes a classic. It is passed around by word of mouth until it loses. if not its identify, much of its pristine ! beauty and strength. It suffers simi- | larIy in being handed Gown Oy tradi- tion.
 Some months ago The Republican ! printed a contributed poem whose theme was the rampsgeoVsness of the ' Gila river. It was received with loud and general acclaim notwithstanding it was lacking a certain degree Of re- hgiOus fervor, and it came to be widely quoted.
 The Journal Miner or Prescott the other day. admitting that it was des- tined to become classic. printed yer sion of it which differed materially from the original In fact in the Jour nal Miners version it was shorn of much of its beauty. the conception Uf the author was changed. so that Lt;Ic but the theme was left intact
 The Journal Miners version and the original are hereby reproduced for thc purpose of showing how these cFoiu- tions in literature come about.
 Journal Miner:
 Where are you going. my pretty
 maid2"
 I'm going to Phoenix, sir" she said. Like hell you are" they heard him
 shout,
 "The Maricopa bride' is again washed
 out"
 As will be shown, this is a perversion Of the original sentiment as well as serious and almost fatal deransement Of the beautiful rhyme and Tythm.
 The following is the blown-in-the- version: Where are you going, my pretty
 maid?" I'm going to Phoenix. kind sir" she
 said.
 '"The hell you are" said the man on
 the train. For the GiIa bridge is out again"
 It does not require one tC l,c oi fine l literary taste to detect tsfe difference between the two versions 0f this classic and to distinguish the craInped l an irregular Journal Miner reading 1 from the flowing and razy original

CHAPTER XVII.

Dusk was falling; Mrs. Price had just
cleared away the tea things and had car
ried the tablecloth through the lobby to
shake out the crumbs for the birds; Mi.
Crunden sat in the deepening shadows by
the hearth; Mr.. Jack stood by the open
window, and looked out at the silent
empty road, the smokeless chimney stacks
of Hill Rise, the swallows hawking high
in the fading sunlight From a little dis
lance came the insistent voice Of church
bells-St. Barnabas calling the pie1Is Miss
Vigors and other faithful souls to vespers.
And from close by came a gentle ptaintive
music-Miss Lizzie In the parlor softly
playing the piano.
Presently thera was noise Of rapidly
approaching wheels, to break the melo-
dious peace. Mrs. Price in the roadway
had paused to enjoy the pleasant evening
air but now she flung wide her cloth and
Tapped 1t loudly. Actively Tapping, she
startled the horse in the station fly as 1t

"Hullo!' cried Jack.

cling coat, with rug over his shoulder,
with his hat on the back of his head
springing out of the cab. fastening by the
window, actively and lightly as a boy of
eighteen.
"HulIo," cried Sir John excitedly. Cant

Senator Hepburn OF Idaho is the recog-

Hepburn is republican and has been

to use a megaphone or else compel man

until the man is either converted or drops

man In the state on his side, and the few
who do not agree with him are democrats.

up his way.
Senator Hemingway Of Indiana is an.
other spellbinder who when he begins TO
talk can make the whole state-even the
democrats-sit up aHd take notice of his

confine his oratory to the farming sec

When Does Old Age Begina

From tue London SPECTATOR.
In his inaugural lecture at oxford Prof.
Freeman complained that while he was
required to lecture on Modern History"
and various details as to the number and
place of these lectures were definitely pre-
scribed. the university statutes had not
determined for him at what date modern
history began. He was therefore left to
make his own choice from the dates sug-
gested by different historians, and these
ranged from the call of Abraham to the
French revolution. There is scarcely less
diversity of opinion In fixing the begin
ming of old age. After reading the biog-
raphy of Gladstone, a RGnke, or a
Moltke, one is inclined to affirm that
somewhere in the late seventies signs of
