ENTERING NEW FIELD or ART
Why the Average American Is invited
to Read The Works OF Great
Russian Writer.

The American invents situations, the
Russian creates character. | do not
mean this as Il sheer at our own work
and tastes, buy simply as definition.
II is safe to say that the ordinary
American reader on train could not
endure the tales Of Chekhov; but he
ought to make the attempt, ii only to
learn to enter a new field OF art, to
try something else.
The chief requisite for successful
short story in America is that it be
"snappy," "sure-fre'; things must be
gin to happen quickly, or the reader
will turn to the next author. Many
Of our expert producers of these
thrillers are filters of prescriptions;
they know exactly what is needed,
and give it in generous doses.
Some OF them are absolutely depend
able. They never disappolnt you. The
American snappy story often builds
up an extremely clever and mysterious
situation, and suddenly solves it so
that at the conclusion the reader
smiles happily, and knows that he has
been amused, just as he knows that
the marshmallow tasted good-then
he forgets all about it.-William Lyon
Phelps, in the Yale Review.

WAY:
The icos..an Empire Lost
domination on Earth

To certain extent the decline Of
the Roman empire was due 10 lls hay
ing OutgrOwn its strength. It's ranliti-
cations in the western hemisphere
rendered Rome peculiarly vulnerable
t. barbarian invasion, and a d1leri0ra-
ton of the national character brought
about by excess and conceit In its
own powers, made the empire less
able TO cope with the situation. The
division of the empire into TWO parts,
the eastern portion being governed
from Byzantium (Constartinople) and
the western from Rome, added to the
decay OF its powers. The provinces
drained to inanition by taxation lev
led for army and court, and in dis
ruptiOn through internal war, could
not repel the barbarian inroads. The
policy at first introduced Of conciliat-
ing the invader and giving him mill
tary command proved futile, and
eventually Rome was taken by the
GOths, A. D., 4O9 The invader was
bought out at heavy price, but from
that day the might OF the Roman en-
pire departed.

Why Lying is Detested.

In plain truth, lying Is a hateful and
accursed vice. We are not men, we
have no other tie upon one another,
but our word. If we did but perceive
the horror and ill-consequenceS Of it,
we should pursue it with fire and
sword, and more justly than other
crimes. see that parents common
ly, and with indiScretion enough, cor
rect their children for little innocent
faults, and torment them for wanton
childish tricks that have neither i'm
preston, nor tend to any consequence;
whereas, in my opinion, lying only,
and, what Is of something q lower
form, willful Obstinacy. are the faults
which ought on all occasions to be
cOmbated, both in infancy and prog
ress Of these vices, which will other
wise grow up and increase with them;
and after a tongue has once got the
knack Of lying, tits not to be imagined
how impossible 1t Is to reclaim it.
