H0oSIER PHILOSOPHY.

Among the inaugural orations of
American Presidents that of William
Henry Harrison achieved immortality
because of it's frequent references to
Roman history. 1t has been styled
the pro-consul inaugural. but unac-
curately. If we are not mistaken, no
pro-consul appeared in the address al
though it swarmed with consuls, en-
perors, tribunes, equities and ordinary
Roman citizens.
Vice-President MarshalPs speech to
the Senate yesterday won similar dis
tinction as a literary effort. 1t will
be remembered for many a day as the
binders inaugural on account of its
remarkably novel. elaborate and long
sustained metaphor of the harness, in
which the Senate figures as the
binders that prevent the people from
shyzng at imaginary dangers and up
setting the Government into the
ditch
The ingenious tropes of Mr.. Mar
shalls speech are superficial features

CHEAT THE DIVORCE COURT.

Many a divorce suit might have
been averted, many neglectful hus-
band made devoted, had the wives
possessed the good sense, the energy,
the perseverance and the taste to
keep themselves pleasing to the eye,
and to make their homes the center
of good cheer, instead of mournful
clinics, where faded and forIorn
women talked of their woes and

GREAT SHORT STORY NOT DEAD

One of the big magazines, the Cen
fury, has just started in to reprint
each month, one of the short storeis
that have become classics. It would
be interesting to know just what pur-
pose lies behind this resurrection,
whether it is an admission, on the
part of SO eminent an authority, that
lit cannot get the grade of stories it
desires and hence must revive old ia
lyorites, whether it is an attempt to
tstimufafe tagging talent. or whether
1T puts these evidences of olden skill
by modern craftsmanship to show the
superiority of the present
In this it would only be adopting
the idea of Bliss Perry, who believes
that the skill of the present-day short
story has gone SO far that it cannot
be improved upon. At the same time,
Professor Perry gives the palm to the
cruder earlier stories because they
have vigor. directness, a iargeness
of emotions which those of the pres
ent cannot compass. Our world il too
smooth, too ironed out, too bloodless,
he says. 1t lacks the pioneer spirit
which opened up new literature as

chance for such exploring energy to
assert itself.
