The night before tho legislature
opens there will be n caucus at which
the speaker of the house will be selec-

OF wirs-puiiinx and dickering going on.

Because Of the enviAbie record which

Gov. McCray. Representative Otto FL
reid or Lake county. In considered a
dangerous opponent for the down
state aspirarts fer the speakersnip.
E1feld has created havoc with the old
established Marion county rule.
Candidates for the speakership have
taken heart in A. report from Lake
county that Fifeld fs q candidate for

Another hold that Representative Fl

that Gov. McCray called him to Ind
annapolis recently to confer on the
advisahiiity of calling the special sea-
sion. The history OF the calling of
the special session, in brief, follows;
The JeHcrsoaville rerormatory was
guttsd by fire few years ago and II
was estimated II would cost the state
half n million dollars to rehabiIitate
the institution. I was sold TO the Col

$1,000 IL special session OF the leg
islature was called, so that Immediate
possession or the JeffersonvfIie fnstf-
tuition could be given the purchasers.
Meantime tho last session OF the leg
islature passed law TO move the re-
formatory TO Putnam Co, and COM
mission appointed by the governor has
found that there IS not enough water
available IN that county to carry on
the manufacturing in which the refor-
mRtory engages. This makes IL essen
tial that new site for the institution

Tho cost of the special session win
be at the most $4,000 so that with tht
100000 bonus from the Colgate com
pany, the state will profit to the ex-
tent OF $4,000 by the calling of

Their pIayInq-cards Different.

awaiting them in Mexico and other
Spanish-speaking American countries.
But cards must be of patterns differ
ent from those to which Americans
are accustomed. People In those
countries demand the Spanish pack,
which consists of only 40 cards. and
tens. Furthermore, the face cards
are different. The ace (called "as')
is much like ours; the 'rey" (king)
wears crown, the queen is repre-
sented by a young woman, and the
jack ("cabalPO is a horse.
Most of the playing cards used In
Spanish-American countries are i'm

than ours Commonly they are thin
and flimsy, so as to he hard to shut.

WRITER'S RIGHT TO BORROW
the Works of the Worlds
Greatest.

One reads for thought and for quo
tation not less; if he find his thought
more finely conceived and aptly ex-
pressed by another, let him quote with
out hesitation or apology. He has the
highest authority for the practice.
How rich is Plutarch's page, Mon
taignes, Bacon'sl And what they bor-
row is of a piece with their own text,
giving it added strength and grace. l
know the fashion of our time affects
disdain of borrowing. But who is rich
enough to refuse, or plead honorably
for his exclusiveness? Somehow the
printer happens to forget his quota
ton marks, and the credit Of origi-
nality goes to the writer none the less.
The plea is that quoting often i'm
plies sterility and bad taste. Then
Shakespeare and his contemporaries
were wanting in wit and fine rhetoric.
Hear how Montague justifies his
practice:
Let nobody insist upon the matter
l write but my method in writing. Let
them observe in what 1 borrow, If /
have known how to choose what is
proper to raise or relieve invention,
which is always my own; for make
others say for me what, either for
want of language or want Of sense, I
cannot myself well express. / do not
number my borrowings, weigh them.
And had I designed to raise their es-
innate by their number, 1 had made
twice as ny."-Bronson Alcott.

MOST TALK NOT coNFEssIvE
Assertion Made That Anecdotes Com
pose by Far the Greatest Part of
Conversations of Americans.

For hours a group of men will talk.
and all problems fall like ducks on a
rifle range before their well-aimed
epigrams. 1t may be a brilliant ses-
sion, but we cannot forbear thinking
that not many serious thoughts are
expressed with fervor. that few hon
est emotions have adequate utterance.
gathering often is devoted to anec-
dotes, quips and the cracking of
jokes, like the biblical thorns, under
the conversational pot.
OF course, much conversation is nee
essarily anecdotal, but two travellers
who meet in the smoker of a train
crossing our American plains do not
tell anecdotes merely, says the New
York Sun. There the anecdotes take
on more meat and grow In length
they become tales. Again, however
learned we are, we forget our pedan-
try when we talk in a smoker. Yet
over a meal among those we know
and will meet again we slough off
our impulse to modesty and sincere
Self-eXpreSSion and launch forth In
all our drab erudition or else we
sparkle in anecdote and say nothing
to the point; forgetting that the best
jests, aside the point, seem point
less.
In short, there is not always enough
cOnfessive conversation between
Americans. In France and In Latin
America the art of conversation has
become an art of confession-of the
confession, indeed, of ones faiths, fol-
bles and fancies. AS for us, we feel
that no one is so sympathetic per-
haps, as to merit listening to our
personal histories. or, what is more
to the point, the emotional accom-
paniment of these histories.
