Chesterton Writing Play

G. K. Chesterton is so we'll pleased with the success of his dramatic trifle, Mag ic' CFatty's first play, as Bernard Shaw wittily called iD, which ran for 15f nights at the Little theare here. that he is hard at work on another which probably will be called "The Blue Bag Didn't Louis Vance write a novel called "The Blue Bag" by the way?

Of late, by the way, quite an epidemic of simple living seems to have seized the literary world here, another victim being George Der hard Shaw. Shaw. whose use of the tabooed word bloody in his latest play still is the subject of discussion here. is living in tent on the rugged York shire coast, with sandals on his feet and, they do say, honey in his beard The fact that the good people of Filey have mistaken him for an Arab sheik has not discom. posed him in the least.

Education by Moving Pictures

From the Washington Herald
 Wonderful as the development and prog ress of the moving picture has been in re- cent years. it requires no special gift of foresight to discern for 1t an even greater future Having seen the films supplant the old-fashioned melodrama Thoma g Edison has recently announced that he will not consider his life work done until he can make the film characters talk and sing. where they now only act: that he
 intends to make grand opera for 10 cents possible. Already much progress has been made with the talking pictures. though they are at present far short of perfec- tion
 Al the moment the most daring field of the motion picture man is the battlefield. the promise being that before long Amer lean parents may be able to walk around the corner and see their sons engaged in warfare in Mexico
 Yet, with all the progress that has been made the great value of motion pictures as an educational medium has not been given anywhere near the recognition to which 1t Is entitled. or, al least, il is a value of which full advantage has moi been taken. Religious organizations have utilized the films 10 some extent in de- picting Bible scenes. and events of world interest are regularly shown on the screens in places of amusement; but the unequaled possibilities for instruction and the creation of public sentiment in favor of great and useful institutions and ,move- ments for the general benefit have not been utilized or appreciated.
 There Is no reason why the motion pie ture could not he adopted. too as a vaul- able aid to study in the public schools. and thus the public taste with regard to the subjects portrayed would be gradually improved, so that in time possibly the services of a. film censor would become

London.

New Question About Ghosts

Are ghosts great liars? This ouestior was raised by w. B. Yeats the famous Celtic poet fin an address to the London Spiritualistic alliance this week, and he answered it in the negative. mindful, nc doubt of the fact that the inhabitants oI the spirit world have ever before them the example of the late George Wash. ington.
 Liars cannot be su much mora mn. merous in the next world than in this world, said Yeats, who was referrina to the innumerable cases of false infor- nation given through mediums. all ot which could not be due to lying spirits he said. Inc one case, he added, 2 character out of novel made psychi, faps at table. and produced psychi. effects external to the medium
 Ghosts may be hypnotized by the me dium, or by practically anyone. Yeat. declared. Counter of Sligo he men toned, dismissed her stable boy because seeing his late master, the earl walk ing near the house, he told the ghost te go away and haunt lighthouse. The countess dismissed the boy for tellina the spirit to haunt such an inclement spot, because ghost had to go wher- ever 1t was told.
 Telepathy. Yeats went on, was of nc importance in four-fiths of the facts. once the investigator accepted materialization Ghosts assumed dream shapes" accord ing to the desires within them.

New Author Discovered

1 Lord Redesdale the eminent travelei l and ex-diplomatst. than whom there arc
 few better judges, declared to a friend of the writer's the other day. in the
 course of a talk on current literature.
 that he never had read a better histor- | ieal novel than The Shadow of Power. the first book of newcomer. in the lit-
 erary world. who has since followed it with another story of almost equal merit, recently published under the title of The
 Fifth Trumpet It is not often that you
 find one set of critics enthusiastic over work which man has done in one branch of art while another set are equally keen on his performance in another, but that
 is what has happened to Paul Bertram. whose real name, by the bye, is Paul Gutscher. Under the latter he has been giving private view of oil paintings and water colors at Walker galleries in Bond street, and the critics have been saying exceedingly nice and well merited things about these works, most of which repre- sent Italian scenes.
 Gutscher himself is an Italian having been born in Venice and he makes his home in Rome, where he is at the pres ent moment, but in his 31 or 3S years he has contrived to do quite lot of trav- cling. As youth, he lived for sev- eral years in Madeira and there it was that he learned English in which he writes with as much ease as Conrad him. self. This young painter-novelists name. by the way. suggests Dutch extraction and both of his two novels deal with the struggle of the Netherlands against the power of Rome. Doubtless it is for this reason that neither has been pub lished in their authors own country where as yet he is known only through his work with the brush

Kipling Becoming an Orator

Rudyard kipling. as an orator, is quite coming on. Not long ago he did quite lot of "spellbinding'' in connection with by-election in the neighborhood of Bur wash. and he recently gave delightful, address on Some Aspects of Travel, be- fore the members of the Royal Geograph- ical society. Now it is announced that he will be one of the speakers for the League of British Covenanters, or Ulster leaguers, in a series of meetings that that organization is holding during the present month. Kipling, who is a firm supporter of Sir Edward Carson, and has not bit of use for home rule, will speak at Tonbridge Wells on May 26

He has not found name for 1t yet by the way. at least not one that satisfies him. Meanwhile it is interesting to be told this morning by John Lane. who has published all Locke's novels, that the two that have overtopped all the rest in sales have been the two that most of us love best.

THE TOP BUGGY.
The Automobile Has Supplanted
Many in the State During the
Past Ten Years.

The Council Bluffs Nonpareil notes
that, "a young man-who has barely
turned to 40-remarked recently
that it had been his privilege to see
the advent of the top buggy in Iowa,
and if the autos continue to increase
in the state and country, he should
very soon see the eclipse and practi-
cal departure of this vehicle from
the state.
Thirty years ago this man
as a child lived on a farm with, his
parents. When father went to town,
some seven miles distant, he usually
figured it was a waste of time 10 go
without load. The box of the lum-
Der wagon was, accordingly, filled
with wheat or oats or possibly stove
wood. If the wife accompanied her
husband she occupied a place beside
him on a spring seat. This mans
earliest recollection was of going to
low II III lulS udLHeI, lie OCNups ms q
place on his mothers lap.
The father Of this man lived to
accumulate a considerable fortune.
His sons trained in habits of thrift
and care, received their proportion of
the property when it was divided and
are making good in what seem TO
some a remarkable way.
Forty years ago procession 60
ing to a Fourth of July Celebration
was made up almost wholly of wag-
ons. Ten years ago wagons had al
most wholly disappeared from such
professions. Today at any sort OF
gathering of people which requires
them to travel any distance the au-
tos outnumber the buggies.
Generally it is true, therefore
that this man has witnessed the com
ing and the going of the top buggy
in Iowa"

Relic Hunters Dismantle an Auto.

Marshalltown, Ia, Sept. a.
Relic hunters are reported from
Green Mountain to have finished
what was left of the j. A. Lynch
automobile, which was struck by a
Chicago Great Western freight
train Wednesday evening, resulting
in the death of Mr.. Lynch and his
son, J. T. Lynch. Every particle of
the car that could be moved was sto-
len, including carburetor, timer,
batteries and spark plugs, and even
the radiator hood Neighbors re-
moved two of the tires and tool box
to prevent them being taken.
One tire was stolen, and the 9th
er was under the car, where it could
not be reached. The thefts were
not discovered until an employe of
"a garage went to the scene of the
wreck to bring the remains of the
car to town.
