DRIVEN TO SLANG.

Mary Wilkins Freeman is prob
ably one of the writer's one would
least expect to find using slang; yet,
in a letter written a short time ago
to Harper's Magazine, she uses Ian
guage that would delight George
AIDE. Her explanation of this lapse
from Their customary style was that
after spending some time with a GER
tain acquaintance Of hers-a very SUI
perior woman, who never used any
thing but the choicest expressions
she chad been prone to slang as the
sparks fly upward"

PICTURES GO OUT OF STYLE
Fashion Has pecreed That Just Walls
Should Adorn the Room for
the Present.

Pictures, it is said, are going out.
No more will the notable still life
entitled "Fish" adorn the Louis
Quinze rooms of the best families,
nor will Landseer and Rosa Bonheur
contend for the position of honor at
the head of the stairs. Pictures are
going out.
Well, blank walls do not prison
make, nor reprints a salon. 1t used
to be thought, before the fashions be-
gan to operate, that picture making
was one of the eternal traits Of the
human composition, and that the de-
sire to see pictures in the home was
another. All that has been changed
by fashions stern decree. No more
pictures. Just walls.
To those who are worried a word
of consolation may be spoken. Let
them not destroy the pictures or dis
pose of them. Ten years from now
a chance will come. The Raphael
Madonna will be enthroned again
over the mantel and Watts Hope
will set off Reading From Ho-
mer." Meanwhile, if pictures must
go out, it is to be hoped that little
sanity and deal of beauty in house
decorations will enter.-Exchange.

Money Stolen

Last Tuesday afternoon,
tramp stopped at the Clark home
west of town and asked the hired
man for something to eat. Think
ing that Mrs. Clark was at the
house the hired man directed
him to the house. She was not
at home but over to Walton's
making garden. The tramp en-
tered the house and took $7.12
of Sunday School money. This
is about the season for hobos and
it might be we'll to keep the
house locked when away.-Fow-

AMATEURS WITH THE CLUBS
Writers Who Have Made Names for
Themselves Fail to Shine on
the Golf Links.

Some time ago at a luncheon at
Delmonicc's there were gathered Bob
Davis of Munsey's, Irwin Cobb and
Sam Blythe of the Saturday Eve
ming Post and Herbert Corey, relates
Vanity Fair.
An argument arose as to whether
Cobb or Corey was the better golfer.
Neither had ever seen a golf match
or had ever handled club. And
both ranged something beyond two
hundred pounds in the way of dis
placement. Davis backed Cobb and
Blythe backed Corey for $50 side.
A taxi was subpenaed and the party
forthwith moved to Dunwoodie,
where the battle was staged, it being
understood that neither golfer was to
be told what club should be used nor
adyised<as to how it should be used.
The match started at the first hole
at three o'clock. 1t was concluded at
the third hole at so o'clock. Cobb
won the first hole in ~ strokes
against IS. Corey rallied gamely
and took the second in 20 strokes
against 81. But Cobb broke up the
match by grasping the finer points
of the game at the third hole, where
he turned in tidy "a, Corey conced-
ing the match where a perfectly
played niblick from a deep bunker
into the cup would have given him
10 better than an even 80.

soner Barrows last Thursday aud had a
conference regarding the permanent work
to be done in this town the coming sea-
son. 1t was decided to have the state
roads patroled-that is certain sections
looked after by individuals appointed for
that purpose. Where the permanent
work will be done was not fully settled.
1t is the wish of the town that perms-
nent work be done on that section OF
road known as Fleetwood Flat, but tba
not being "selected" road the County
Commissioner is of the opinion shat it
cannot be done This season. The Select
men and Road Commissioner Pratt are
unanimous for putting in work on that
road. If there is any road in town hat
needs special work it is that ana it is
hoped that it will be given good sh, re
of the state work.
