 51 YEARS SUNDAY
March 8, '63 Saw Close of Bloody To-Day Fight
 in Arkansas.

Fort Smith, March 8-Today is the fifty first anniversary of the Battle of Pea Ridge, village in Benton County, and one of the most disastrous conflicts during the entire Civil War. More than 2,6OO persons lost their lives in the fight. in which 26. 900 men en- gagged. The Federal loss was 1851. and the Confederate loss 1900. The Federal army num- bered 10, 900 men, under the Com mand of Gen. Samuel R. Curtis. The Confederates, under Gen. Earl van Dorn, numbered 16, 900, including ,, 900 Cherokee Indians. The Federals had AS field pieces. The battle was fought along the bluffs of Sugar Creek, and began March '. It was resumed at sunrise on March s. Two hours later the Confederates withdrew. Two of their generals McCulloch and Mcintosh, lost their lives in the battle and two others, Sterling Price and Slack were dangerously wounded.
 Quite a number of persons who resided in Pea Ridge at the time of the battle still number among the towns inhabitants. Among them are Capt. C. L. Pickens. who commanded a company of troops during the battle. He says the roar of artillery was heard 40 miles away. Uncle Jim" Patton, Pea Pidge pioneer was ill with measles on the day the fight began. The home of his mother was used as a hospital.

in this new lexicon.
The value of slang words has not

in the Fifth avenue of the lexicon as
they formerly were on Baxter street or
the Bowery. Some slang terms are worth
promotion, for they are vigorous, pic
turesque, expressive, and are quick to
arrest attention. Many words that We're

the strongest words that we use. We
cannot doubt that such recently coined

''bagman" have come among us to stay,

l have noticed that newspaper English
does not hesitate to violate certain rules
that were formerly taught as essential to
good style. If a rule stands in the way
of az trenchant sentence, so much worse
for the 1ue. A few years ago who of
MS would have ended a sentence with
proposition? although we felt that pac-
ing it elsewhere left the sentence en-
feeblcd. The newspaper writer knows
shat some sentences are strengthened by
a terminal proposition and at the end
the proposition stands. and 'all the
kings horses and all the kings men"
can't change 1t. Another thing | have
observed in the newspapers. Writers of
editor als and paragraphs do not need
as many punctuation marks as the ordi-
nary mortal. The comma. the dash, the
Interrogation. the quotation marks, and
the period about supply his demands. The
newsp5 per writer of today uses the hy-
phen schooner than did his predecessor
in compromising two Independent elements
to form one designation. There never was
a satisfactory set of rules for this pro-
cess anyway, with all respect to Mr..
Horace Teall's treatise on the Compound

1t would be mere platltude to say that
the same is true of George Eliot and ex-
plains the supreme pungency of her won-

readers have found that the Brownings
owed their inspiration not merely to a
religious motive, but to nonconformist,
or nontraditional religion? Here were

Recession of Glaciers

Some new measurements by the Swiss
Alpine club confirm the continued re-
cesson of the Swiss glaciers. In spite of
the bad weather of 1912, and in spite of
the fact that some of the glaciers, prp-
tected by exceptional snowfalls, haie
hardly had any sunshine. their liquerGc-
tion continues to proceed at an increas-
ing rate. says the London Morning Post
The largest of the glaciers, .I'Aletsch.'
has retreated 10 feet following ON nearly
GO feet In 1911. and rather more In 1910
The Rhine glacier has gone back "a feet,
in addition to the 20 lost in the previous
two years. An exception to the general
rue appears at first to be furnished by
the two glaciers of Grindelwald, which
have come on since last year, but the adj,
vance does not compensate for the loss
of the previous year. and since 1893 the
two glaciers have lost nearly quarter OF
mile. Their temporary advance Is clear
ly attributable solely to the inclement
weather of last year Nearly all of the
smaller glaciers, out of the 50 surveyed by
the Alpine club, show some retreat. and
the largest loss appears to be that the
Palu glacier, near Bernla. which is loy-
Ing regularly 20 feet a year. Periods os
recession of the Swiss glaciers have been
noted before, and they have been fol-
lowed by periods of advance, so that it
has been suggested that the present in,
stances are dependent merely on cycles
of lees rainy or snowy winters, and that
there is no permanent glacier loss.

ligion. 1t is none other than the econom-
ic change whereby wealth was so rapidly
created and newly distributed. The old
merchants and manufacturers, with
rotund majesty, had become sort of
secondary aristocracy, rivaling the wealth
of the great land owners. But these were
quickly surpassed with the birth. of the
steam engine and the cotton loom and

poverty driven to abject wretchedness by
the same machinery No pages in Dick
