NEWSPAPERS and Literature.

All this over emphasis of the un-
meaning surface is due to confusion
of newspaper and literary standards,
ends, aims. The word literary has come
to suggest an absence of red-blood; !;
spinners and knitters in the sun; the
35 cent magazine crowd; this is non
sensical of course. In its elemental
meaning literature is at least as stern
a job as journalism, albeit the inten-
ton and function of the latter is mere,
ly to present things that happen, OF
the former to volatilize such material
into .hovering and potent meanings. to
strike the rock and raise spirit that
is life

Cause of Fire Known.

Lake Charles.-The report that the
mill of the Anaco County Lumber
Company at Grabow, formerly the Gal,
loway Lumber Company's plant, the

Moses, the general manager of the
company, who wass at Grabow at the
time of the blaze, that the fire origi'
mated in the boiler room.
The mill was destroyed at loss OF
about $4,000, but The planer and over
100000 feet of lumber was saved

Truth About Old Ace.

George F. Baer, the famous Phila-

SEVENTEEN birthday:
Il agree with Professor Metchnikofr

wisdom, but they seek it also.''
With smile Mr. Baer added:
"The only people who think they
are too old to learn are those who
really are too young"
