.PUTT|NG SET PHRASES
OUT Or BUSINESS

If the set phrase destroyers are per-
mitted to continue their work of elimi-
nation there will be nothing left for
the novelist of the future but original
composition, with tbs result that the
output of popular fiction will be great
ly diminished, if, indeed, production
does not altogether cease.
Lately great havoc has been caused
by the eliminators. Many set phrases
which the average writer of popular
fiction heretofore felt that he could
use with the utmost impunity, have
been blaeklfsted, SO to speak, with the
result that when the romancist now sits
down at his typewriter with the pur-
pose of throwing off anywhere between
$4,000 and 10000 words. he will be
forced. to go to the trouble of saying
certain things in way i'll which they
have not been said by all the roman
eists who have preceded him for the
last ten or fifteen years.
According to F. w. Crowninshield, in
the Bookman, the list of set phrases
which all the "best sellers of the
period contain, comprises among others
the following:
But why do I tell you all this, she
murmured.e
June with its roses has come again
And so they two, hand in hand passed
together into the scented and mysteri-
Gus night.
Remember, Chalky, I m at home to
no one.
In that brief moment, his entire life
passed in review before him.
1t is enough for me, dear, that you
are what you are, that you are simply
you, she faltered.
He could be there in an hour. There
might yet be time.
She breathed more freely. One dan
ger had at least been passed.
And so on, and SO on, and so on. IF
readers for publishers shall reject, and
If reviewers for newspapers. shall treat
severely, novels containing these and
other set phrases hereafter, one con
sequence will probably be the turning
of large number of romancists away
from literature to some calling where
original thought is neither expected nor
desirable. And this may be best for
all coneerned.-Christian Science Mon
itor.

the years dragged by. President Diaz
gave the matter his personal attention
not long ago and the ancient records
relating to the land grants and the
conflicting boundary were carefully ex,
amined.
The matter was then laid before the
people of the two towns, and after
many conferences settlement of the
case was reached and the suit in court
was formally dismissed. It is said to
have held place upon the court docket
longer than any suit in the world 3
history.

UP WENATCHEE
DEED MAYAR, EDITOR OF THE
LEAVENWORTH ECHO, PROPH-
ESTES BIG YEAR FOR HEAVEN.
WORTH-PESHASTI SECTION.

Deed Magyar, editor of the Leaven-
worth Echo, is in the city today on
business matters. He states that the
residents of the upper Wenatchee
valley are planning on a banner
year.
During the past week a $4,000
mercantile corporation has been
formed at Leavenworth and will be
ready for business in a very short
time. He also states that there will
be number of ne business blocks
built. The land seekers which have
come into the lower Wenatchee val
ley in great numbers are also drift
ing into the Leavenworth and Pc
shastin section and a great many
land sales have been made, especial
ly in the Peshastin section. Hun
dreds of acres will be planted to
fruit this season and eventually the
upper portion of the valley is des-
tined to prove a great apple belt.

EDITOR BRITT VERY LOW
Fears Are Entertained that Veteran
Editor of Chelan Leader Will
Never Be at Work Again.

1t is learned that Dewitt C. Britt,
editor of the Chelan Leader. is very
low and fears are entertained that
he will never be at work again. Last
summer he had a very bad sick spell
and was incapacitated for work for
several months. This spring he has
had another very bad attack and fears
are entertained that he cannot live
but a few weeks longer. Overwork
and the grind incident to fifteen
years steady work as publisher of
the Chelan Leader have been too
much for him.

 ESCAPE $<Et STEAMER WRECK

Meridian, June 11.-(Special.) )-Gen. w. D. Cameron, circuit clerk of Lauderdale county for 8 years, died in Tupelo, Miss, this afternoon at 2 o'clock, having been taken from the train at that place i'll while en route to Meridian from the Con- federate reunion at Memphis. General Cameron was 64 years old and one of the best known men of Mississippi. He was not only a political leader, but leader in church affairs and fraternal orders. He was supreme outer guard of the Knights of Pythias grand lodge and held official positions in a half dozen other secret and benevolent organizations. He was one of the most enthusiastic old Confed- crates of them all and twice was chosen by his comrades of the sixties major gen. eral, commanding the Mississippi division, United Confederate Veterans. He was always staunch democrat, and was chosen delegate at large to the national convention of his party at Kansas City in 1900, and again was a delegate to the convention in 1904.
 General Cameron was first married to Miss Maggie Mays of Holmes county, who died in 1896, survived by three chill dren-Charles, Elleine and Willie. He
