The significance of the title of Miss
Caroline F'uller's novel, 1.-THE Bramble
Bush,'' which is just issuing from the
Appleton press, is thus explained by
one of it's chief characters, sculptor:
t'This artistic life is very like the
bramble bush, that the wise man in
our town jumped into and scratched
out both his eyes All of us get our
eyes scratched out at some time or
other, and the successful chap is the
one who has grit enough to jump into
another bush and scratch 'em in again.
| The cynics are those fellows who
stick in the first bush permanently,
and stay blind. And all the lost eyes
| of all the impaled cynics sprout into
new brambles to scratch and tear each
other, and everybody that comes with
| in reach"

Among English nove1ists of the pres
ent day John Galsworthy has taken
his place as distinguished for a liter
airy style which preserves the best ira
ditions and an extremely modern view
of character and situation. Both in
plays and novels he has conspicuously
pushed to the front. In Scribner's
Magazine for May will appear a beau
tiful one-act play entitled 1.-The Little
Dream" though written in prose it is
full of poetic qualities.

Charles Scribner's Sons of New York
will issue a new edition. at half the
price of the original edition, of En-

made Mr.. Golfers great reputation.
This new edition is entirely reset in
somewhat smaller and more compact
form than the original edition which
has run through American and 9
English printings. But its contents
are exactly the same as the contents
of the original edition and the binding,
though less ornamental, is equally dur
able. The price of the original edi-
ton as of 1.-The East in the West from
an American Point of View" is $1.5O

England and the English will be
only 75c net.

HOW OLD ARE THE BIG TREEs7

An age as great as 5000 years has
sometimes been ascribed to the giant
trees of California. The latest fig
ures seem to indicate that such estl-
mate is very much exaggerated. One
investigator, who counted with great
care the rings Of a tree felled in
1858, and which was fully "a or %
feet in diameter, SO that its stump
served as the floor Of a dancing pa
yilion, states that the rings num-
bered LAY, and that that number
would represent the age Of the tree
in years, The authority grayely
doubts whether any Of the existing
trees approach the age of 1000 years.

NO MORE QUESTIONS ASKED
First one at Irish Home Rule Meeting
Started a Riot and Sent CUES

When q noted Irish orator was IN
America a few years ago he ap-
peared at a meeting in st. Louis and
delivered an address on the subject
of "Home Rule for Ireland" There
were 5000 Of his countrymen in the
audience. At the close Of his re-
marks the chairman asked:
would anyone like to ask the
speaker a question:"
A man in the rear Of the hall,
who was quite evidently under the
influence Of liquor, arose and said 4;
"Will the gentleman tell me if there
is any reason why the Irish should
not be wiped off the face of the

Immediately pandemonium
reigned. The disturber was at
tackled from every quarter. Calls Of
Down with him" and "Let me get
at him" came from all directions.
Finally he was rescued by the police
men and, torn and bleeding, and in
an unconscious condition, was placed
in an ambulance which had been
called. Order was in a measure re-
stored. While the audience could still
hear the clatter of the ambulance
and the sound of its gong as it con-
veyed its burden to the hospital, the
chairman stepped forward and
asked:
