He's One Of the Clan.
How many of us II we were really
honest could make list of great books
that we have tried to enjoy and
couldn't rise to?
We hive for our own part a greater
sin than that on our conscience. There
are n number of books that we hahi4u-
ally pretend we have read which we
have never read at oil. They are great
books. we suppose. At least we've
heard n lot about them and read q lot
, about them. and people who assume to
know say they are great books. Some
of them we have tried to read and
couldn't read, but we have pretended
ut one time or another to have read all
of them. Here is our list OF shame:
TON Jones'" We have tried to read
1t four times and could never get nvs
pages into It.
"The Vicar of Wakefield" We have
attempted 1t at least six times and
taken the count in the first round
every time.
"Dante's Divine Comedy" We have
Deen going against the Cary tranSlas
tion, which we hear Is a good one. at
least once year for twenty years. and
we can't get interested in It,. Yet up
to the present moment we have alwa ys
pretended that We had read all Of It
| and liked 1t.
Don Quixcte." We have read G lft-
tie OF It. and we know all the usual
things that are said about II, and we
even wrote some stuff about it one
time, saying all the things that are
usually said about 1t. for which wea got
$25. but we don't really like it. 1t puts
us to sleep; 1t seems long drawn O, d
and clumsy to us.
"Boswell's Life of Johnson" We
never read any Of It. But We have pre-.
tended to and have pretended at times
to quote incidents from 1t and have got
away with the Incidents.
We have always pretended that we
were familiar with Walt Whitman1
poetry, but as a matter Of fact we
never read anything through. EXCEPT

The Latin LANGUAGE.

Latin was one Of the original Ian
guages of Europe. and from 1t sprang
the Italian. French. Spanish and Por
tuguese languages. Many words of our
own language are of Latin origin. 1t
ceased to bn spoken in Italy about 5S1
and was first taught in England by one
Adelmus in the seventh century. The
use of Latin in law deeds In England
gave way to the common tongue in the
year 1000.

MAY BE GRAND JURY
 CALL FUR OCTOBER

According 10 rumors current in the court house yesterday, grand jury will be ordered shortly Judge stan ford would neither confirm nor deny this last evening, but it is understood that he has been contemplating such a coarse for some time. It is said the jury call will be issued within a few days and, ir accordance with the law which demands that it be called between ten and twenty days before the session. it's duties will begin early
 in October.
 A grand jury has not been called since the territorial days and it's duties are not now as laborious. The statutes have taken away part of it's re- responsibilities through the office of public accountant, and unless there is a suspicion of crime, if is hardly likely that the county offices will be investigated. although the books are accessible to the jury. If the jury finds the office extravagantly con- ducted it may return g report, as it might in any criminal matter that comes to it's attention.
