 T should never have talked about such things" said I, except to a wom- an like yourself, who understands" I quickly explained.
 You realize conditions as well as the best. Recently I heard that one of the most learned ministers in our town, a few weeks ago, roundly scored his con gregaton for the frivilous reading that they indulged in, and it sort of made me mad, because knew at least dozen women who are students and never read trash. But they took it just as if the minister was discussing new brand of breakfast food, or something like that"
 "They couldn't do anything else,' said my Book-y friend.

 Just at this juncture of the converse ton. good looking bachelor friend of ours arrived upon the scene, with the last number of the Saturday Evening Post under his arm and with two by four smile on his benign countenance said:

Sounds funny after what I have just said, doesn't 1t? But I just had to read Elinor Glyn's latest, and Mrs. Hum phrey Wards worse than trashy Mar riage a la Mode, and a fearful melee called "Infatuation," and some other equally poor stuff. But what I did see end of the porch one morning at the hotel with a lapful of books, and I ex- pected to see-wel somehow I always associate blondes with big boxes of Huy- ler's and cheap novelettes-but instead, this one was reading "Don Quixote" And actually enjoying the adventures of the Knight of the Sorrowful mien''- promptly announcing this, upon my in- trusion, whereupon I quickly eliminated myself"

 Exactly" said I. And I found many of the women reading and more than that, studying various subjects. Bird lore for instance, and all of its attend ant beauties, and if they read the Duchess and our friend Laura Jean, they sat up at night doing so, for their days were given over to something better.

Now what do you think of this for a , recommendation of a summer novel?' said my book-y friend a few days ago as she accosted me on the way from the public library
 Let me see it first, and then I'll give you my opinion," I said.
 Here is the tribute from Constant Reader" to the book department of a well-known newspaper" said she, pro- ducing the following clipping:
 "I picked up The White of an Egg by Maude Lucy Thudicum half an hour be- fore retiring one warm summer night in August. I found myself brushing my teeth, and still holding the fascinating, novel in my left hand at 12 o'clock, and when I finished the last chapter at 3 a. m. the tooth brush was still in my mouth"
 q consider that a eulogy which could icism, I said as I stood habergasted at such tommy rot. How can people read such stuff and nonsense when there is so much real literature worth reading?' I deplored.
 Their excuse is summer fiction,' the periodicals advertise it, the book dealers recommend it, and the bookmakers turn it out by the ton' said the Bibliophile.
 "What in the world is meant by sum- mer fiction, any way, and where is the local habitation of the people who read it?'' I said, anxious to gain some knowl- edge on a hitherto unenlightened subject. "I've always imagined summer fiction was something light and frothy, cob-webby and whipped-creamy. but not utter bosh"
 .sYou mean like Laure Lean Jibhey and Bertha M Mudd and the Duchess, and people like that" said the Bibliophile.
 'Of course" said l. but I never see anybody reading things like that, even, do you?" inquired.
 "Only great ladies in the privacy of their boudors dare to- said the Biblio- phile.
 .I don't believe one word of it." I blandly stated q think the feminine taste for literature is more elevated now than ever before in the history of the world
 well. you always were an optimist, Dolly" said the Bibliophlle.
 I'm not sorry for that replied.
 "You know some great Frenchman once said that the two greatest menaces to books were worms and women" sarcas- tically quoted the Bibiophile.
 Mercy! but you are Liebig's extract of King Arthur and George Washington combined in your passion for the truth" I calculated You can't expect every woman you know to read Lombroso and Nietszche There is lots of good literature not so difficult"
 Even the crypic cleverness of MT. Henry James has ridiculed women by say ing that a certain lady of his acquaint- ance had library full of books. and the queer part about it was that she seemed to have read them," said the book-y lady smilngly
 well who on earth wants mind as comprehensive as the last S5 pages of webster's Unabridged Dictionary?"I ob- served
 "You are perfectly right" said the Biblophie Tn my next incarnation I hope I'll be a silly, fat, little rolly-polly of woman, with curly hair. an ossifed heart. an asbestos stomach. and who doesn't know whether George Eliot was a man or woman, and never heard of Tolsto or Dumas pere, or fils."
 You would certainly have complete change from what you are now I sug- gested. But seriously speaking of sum- mer reading and fiction I made a little study of that sort of thing this sum-

CRIMINAL NEGRO ESCAPES POSSE After Long Pursuit the Negro
 Gets Away
BLOODHOUNDS ACT BADLY
Trail of Negro Is Lost When Dogs Reach Dusty Road-Aged Wo- man Is Found Walking the
 Streets, Reason Gone.

Chattanooga. Tenn, September D. (SpeciaD. Sheriff Conner and his depu- ties have returned from Dayton, con yinced that the negro who attempted to assault Mrs. Guy H. Miller last week has been trailed as far as it is possible for bloodhounds to follow him. The chase has not been given up, however for a full description of the negro has been obtained. and this will be scat tered broadcast throughout the state and the arrest of the negro will doubtless be accomplished in few days.
 Sheriff tsonner and his deputies were practically exhausted when they reached the city. as they have been at work on the case almost constantly since the at- tempted assault. The negro has been trailed, taking into consideration the meanderings of the fugitive. more than fifty miles. He has been out of the sound of the baying of the bloodhounds for only few hours since the attempt ed assault and so closely has he been pressed by the officers that he has been snatched from the fields as he ran through them.
 The negro was trailed into Dayton Sat urday night, after a hard days run, during which he was practically corner ed at Doughty's ferry and escaped only by doubling on his trail and eluding his pursuers. At Dayton he was the tar get for number of shots and the ob- ject of pursuit of large posse of mon, but from this net he escaped and gained the woods New bloodhounds were placed on his trail at Dayton, but owing to the fact that the negro made his way along an exceedingly dusty road. the trail was lost and repeated attempts to take up the trail again were futile. Realizing that the bloodhounds could no longer follow the fugitive, Sheriff Con- ner and his deputies returned to this city but not until the roads north of Day. ton had been thoroughly patrolled.

knowing where she was or where she belonged. She claimed that she had 8 son who held responsible position with the Pullman company. She said he re- sided In Knoxville, and that he ran out of that city as special conductor The demented woman was found by police man, who noticed that she seemed to be without friends or lodging. He had her taken to the Lewis mission, thinking it was a case for a charitable institution Rev. Eddings, of the mission, thought she could be better provided for if plac- ed in the county hospital, where medical attention could be had at all times, and where constant guarding would serve to prevent an outbreak of vio- lence which threatened to occur at any time.
 The tent of the Rev. Henegar Trim, high priest of the Holy Rollers. who have been holding meetings in East Chattanooga for several months has again been destroyed. It was first cut down and then cut into shreds by knives at an early hour Sunday morning. A watchman had been employed to watch the tent until midnight, and 1t was after that hour that the destruction was done. All efforts to get Trim and his follow CTS to move their tent to place where their mode of worship would not inter- fere with the night rest of the citizens have proved unavailing, and for the second or third time the people have taken the matter into their own hands by tearing down the tent. The county authorities are trying to find out who committed the offense Sunday morning.
 Fires are being lighted in every fur mace and firebox in town and suburbs, and by September 18th, according to present indications, there will not be a cold stack in the Chattanooga valley.
