"LIoN' At LITERARY FEAST
How Great Historian Of Civilization
Squelched the Jaekals Who Had
imagined Him Discounted.

Lyulph Stanley was an Englishman
Of whom Lowell said that he knew
three times as many facts as any
young man whatever had any business
to know"
He had but one rival In that line:
Palgrave, who compiled the Golden
Treasury" Much interest sprang up
went OF on a trip together.
Its an even chance which will re-
turn alive" said one man, solemnly.
When they did come back. Palgrave
was pale, emaciated. silent; but Stan
ley, Il seemed, was unmoved and more
all-knowing than ever.
One night, Buckle, the author of
"The History Of Civilization" was lay
ing down the law on every subject,
with a magnificent pomposity that
made the table quake. At last he put
forth some statement about the burn
ing of a witch, and set the date q
century out Of the way. Stanley, who
was present, had borne some preceding
inaccuracies very wen, with only a
slight shaking Of the head and a red
dening of the face.
Suddenly his self-control gave way,
and he leaped to his feet. He extended
his hand, and piped forth, In a vigor-
Gus treble:
'1 beg your pardon, but the last
witch was burned at such-and-such q
place, In such-and-such a year, In such
'and-sueh a manner And her name
was so-and-so. and you will find all
about 1t I'm q book to which I can
easily refer you, and about which you
evidently don't know"
Torrents of imprisoned knowledge
were thereupon poured ON Buckles
head, and the historian Of civilization
sat wrathful, extinguished. mute. But
a little later he had his revenge. Some
one mentioned a new dictionary as q
good one.
"It is," said Buckle with solemnity
"It Is one Of the few dictionaries ]

The intimation that he had reat
any dictionary through with pleasure
so astonished the guests that they for
got his past discontinue In new awe

DEATH OF A HUMORIST.

"B. l.. IT." as Bert Lesion Taylor signed himself in his column in the Chicago Tribune, one of the greatest newspapers in the country. is dead.
 The writings of this man, short, pungent. witty, held far more than humor as it is commonly known. Perhaps no laugh would follow the reading of some of his paragraphs but either smile or deep thought came always.
 "B. l.. IT. was known through his published words far beyond the limits of Chicago, wide as they are. He was quoted often, sometimes to interest, sometime to bring an illustration of q serious point to be made in argument. often he left, the reader to discover for himself the humor of the thing he had written. He gave his admirers no key with which to free the latent smile or thought which was in all he wrote or cited. The paragraphs which appeared in his column" were read by the most intelligent and cultured of people. and by those less educated. tie appealed to every man and woman -s@No thinks as we'll as to those whose saviGg grace of sense of humor made them appreciate him.
 Never rough in his comments on life in general or some action in parti- cular. "B. l.. T." will be remembered and his death regretted--mourned- by many thousands who have gained times relief from troubled brains, sometimes inspiration and a clearness Of vision that is often to be found in n comment made apparently casually, but in reality onl! after deep thought and Concentrs ton.

THE LADY NICOTINE

Millions of American women are secret cigarette smokers. according to internal revenue reports which show they are responsible for an increase in tobacco sales amounting to S6 per cent. The good old fashioned nurse maid, When she rocked a child to sleep, Would sing a loving lullaby
 Or tell of young Bo-peep; But the modern model matron
 When the cradle hour is set, First must get the baby groggy From the smoke of a cigarette. She can blow artistic smoke-rings Far beyond the baby's eyes And tell the little darling They are ships up in the skies. Then the precious. cunning youngster Falls asleep and soon forgets, While its nursie takes an inhale
 From the next of her cigarettes. The old mail-order business
 Which was going on the rocks Has taken on new livelihood,
 A-shippins by the box .... The "Katinkas'' and 'Kathrinaa" And the other fav'rite vets That the females like to write for When they eFder cigarettes. > '.u D., ~.. ", From Seattle down to Frisco, And from Portland to Key West, Around the states and back again, The women smoke with zest. Not a village or a hamlet" Is so small they cannot get Their quite plentiful proportion
 Of the dainty cigarette.
 
 So the habit, grown in secret, Spreads from city back to farm, When women spend the day at home They smoke with added charm. While some men will not condone it, Others won't condemn it, yet Saying. Everything is lovely
 While they keep the cigarette" It's the pipe and Pittsburgh stogie That may prove the fad joke. If the women follow precedent
 And yearn for stronger smoke; So. while patience is virtue,
 Virtue may lose patience's pet If milady takes the notion
 And forsakcs the cigarette.
