PIONEERS OF NONSENSE.
Edward Lear and Lewis Carroll Grand
 Masters of the Art.

Nonsense. like the poor, We have always with us. But as deliberate, delicious. conscious contribution to that criticism of life which We call literature its advent is somewhat re cent. dating from the year 1S46, when Edward Lear published his first Book of Nonsense.
 Before that time" says the Rosary magazine. the nearest approach to this literary rara avis was to be found in the nursery jingles of Moth CT Goose or in the chap-books of the late seventeenth and early eigh- teenth centuries.

as they were called, were printed on coarse gray paper and decorated with hideous woodcuts, often guiltless of any connection with the text. They were hawked from door to door by the chapman or cheap Johns of the period.
 Edward Lear. the spOnser for the Jumblies, and Lewis Carroll, the dis coverer and principal explorer of Wonderland. are the grand masters of the revels in that happy go lucky world where sense is abrogated for something more sensible.
 Edward Lear GS12-SSD began his career as an artists draughtsman. glad to exchange uncommon queer sketches for a few shillings, which in turn were converted into bread and cheese Later on he did some work for the Earl of Derby, gave a few lessons to Queen Victoria, and made a number of drawings of col ored birds for the Geological society.
 There was no hint of The Owl and the Pussy Cat. or of The Pebble That Has No Toes in all this. But there were hints of fame and worldly success and quite a bit Of money. As late as 1S40 the future author of The Pelican Chorus was travelling at his leisure over Italy and the Ionian isl andS, painting landscapes and pub fishing ah occasional volume of tray els, all unconscious of the high mis- sion upon which he was to enter six years later.
 He was naturally of a melancholy temperament-all our mirth makers have been sad hearted folk-accepting life with a half smile and q half sigh. perhaps the best way to take it after all. But 1S46 came at last and with it the first Book of Non sense. It was a triumph of elaborate seriousness applied to brilliantly ridiculous ideas. all thrown into the now familiar limerick form.
 Lear disclaimed the credit gener- ally accorded him as inventor of this comical five lined stanza with it's jerky. ready to halt metre. It was suggested to him by a friend who thought it peculiarly well suited for short jingles of a Serio-COmic sort. But when the British public came upon the new book with It's curious verselets and uncommon queer sketches it felt sure it had stumbled upon a literary novelty. and without more ado or barley credited to Lear the form as well as the matter"
 Not long after the advent of the Pelican an oxford professor was pre- vailed upon to publish a little tale entitled "Alices Adventures in Won derland," a story he had spun for the delight of his little friend Alice Lid dell. The first copy was sent to Miss Alice herself, July 1, 1865. The sec ond copy was sent to the Princess Beatrice and Queen Victoria was so pleased with it that she wrote to ask if the author had written any other books
 The next mail brought to the royal palace "The Condensation of Determi- nants' and "Curiosa Mathematical" " two learned volumes addressed to the serious and syllogistic. On the title page appeared the name Charles Lut- widge DOdgson Lutwidge. Anglicized becomes Lewis: Charles. Latinized becomes Carolus. or Carroll. So easy it is to transform a dry as dust mathematician into a marvel working n2crOmancer The author of The Condensation of Determinants'' and l the wizard of Wonderland" were one and the same person.

SERIES OF LECTURES
 BY LOCAL PHYSICIANS
Young Mems Phoenix Club to Spread Gospel of Sanitation
 Hygiene.

A subject which should be of more than ordinary interest to the public since it has been originated for the community's good is the series of seven lectures to be given under the auspices of the Young Mems Phoenix club at the Adams Street school build ing. The lecturers are to be local physicians and such subjects as Clean Dairy Products Clean Water" and others dealing with sanitation and hygiene will be chosen for discussion.
 The first lecture is slated for Thurs day, November 16, and there will be a week between speeches.
 It is necessary that the people should become intelligent in matters pertain ing to public health and in the con- gested districts, such as the cities. for instance sanitation and hygiene. which are only other names for cleanliness, must be observed, if the members of the community are to live to be godly or anything else.

SEVEN GIRLS ARE BURNED TO DEATH
Burning Of Powder Factory in State of Washington is Attended by
 Many Casualties.

CHEHALIS. Wash, Nov. Fire destroyed the powder factory of the Imperial Powder company at ChehaIis late today and caused seven young women to lose their lives. The eighth is now in a hospital here and will die. Only two girls were unhurt. although q dozen men escaped.
 The dead are:
 Vera Muford, Tillie Rashback. Sadie Westfall. Eva Gilmore Bertha Hagle, Ethel Tharp. Mrs. Ethel Henry
 The injured:
 Bertha Crown. will die.
 The cause of the fire is a mystery. One report is that paraffine in the mixing room was allowed to boil over by a careless workman and that part of it ran into the powder. A flash followed and soon the whole structure was ablaze. The girls were hurled off their feet and owing to the rapid spread of the flames were unable to escape from behind the counter. where they were working. There was no eX- plosion, the powder being -eXplo- sive Four of the company's buildings were destroyed. with a loss of 10000. The bodies were recovered. but only one has been identified. Her father picked her out by a ring she wore.

OCTOBER BUSINESS
 AT THE POsTOFF|CE
All Former Records for Revenue Were
 Broken.

The month of october, 1911, was the biggest month in the way of cash re- ceipts in the history of the Phoenix postoffice. exceeding even the big busi- ness of December last, including the holiday rush. Compared with Octo- Der of last year, the increase is 3S 2-1 Der cent.
 Someone whom it distresses to "see Phoenix grow" may offer the sugges- ton that the big figures this year are due to the activity of the recent pri- mary campaign, wherein there was much money spent on circular letters to voters. The answer is that in Oc- tober year ago there was a cam paign on in which even more was spent for postage than this year. It is true, however, that the receipts this year chanced to include a few big orders for stamped envelopes that were all delivered within the month. That will probably happen frequently though from this time on.
 The receipts for the month were sS.S51.33, as against s6.397.99 in OctO- Der, 1910, and SS,679,03 in December, 1910.

PREPARATIONS FOR
 DECORATING CITY
Committee Hopes For Hearty Cooper atlon of Business Men-Rate
 Reduced This Year.

The committee appointed by the board of trade to have charge of the decorating of the city during fair week began its activities yesterday in calling on the Phoenix merchants for their contributions to the fund. The committee met with fine success as far as it got, most of the merchants responding heartily.
 It is timely to explain for the ben eft of new corners in the business district something of the work and history of this committee. It was originally a volunteer organization under the direction of NJ. C. Me Dougall for several years. the purpose being to decorate the city every fair week and on such other occasions as seemed desirable. maintaining perpetual organization to that end. A flat assessment of 50 cents front foot was made on the merchants of the business district to provide a fund for buying the colOrs and displaying them. As the years passed and the cid decorations kept accommodating in stock the committee was able to low CT the assessment annually to 30
 
 few dollars standing in the treasury when the present season opened.
 Mir McDougall believing the time had come for the committee to as sume the character of an official in stitution, resigned to the mayor and the mayor asked the board of trade tO appoint his successor which has been done. The chairman of the com mittee is c. j. McElroy and the other members are L. H. Civille. Royal Lescher and R. C. Whitmarsh. with Lyman Peters of the Greene X Grif- fir Co. as official collector. To this committee the old one turned over its cash on hand and its decorating ma terial. The committee finds that with what it has on hard it will be able this year to get along with an assess ment of 25 cents per foot, and that is what every institution in the busi- ress district is asked to contribute.
 The committee as indicated has been heartily received thus far and hopes for the same treatment in the rest of it's work. Collection is made il possible at the time the subscrip- ton is secured. to save time and trouble. the amounts not being large in any instance. The committee here tofore has been the most successful in it's operations of any small CO., operative undertaking in town. hay ing furnished nice decorations of uni form character and at small expense. The new committee hopes to do as well. and better if possible
