Mr.. Freeman goes his way and others
come to the sittings with George Moore
In Ebury street. Among them Walter de
la Mare and Desmond MacCarthy, Gran
ville- Barker and Edmund Gosse, and
another and another. And the@ talk
Is always Of art and literature, of
painters and writers-a one-sided
talk wherein Moore makes use Of the
others not so much to spur his. own
thought or to enrich it, as to give the
effect of dialogue rather than that
of soliloduy. A man talking to him
self excites suspicion. Engaged with
others he wins applause. That is,
George Moore wins his usual -meed
Of admiration for a sincerity that
counts nothing of worth except the
matter in hand, that resks nothing OF
this OF that change Ia modes of
thought or in manners Of conveyance
Here Is the ihgenuousness that
charms one, and an innocence Of the
mind that refuses tribute to prosti-
tuition of speech in the interests, OF
q sickly, or guilty, oversensitiveness

sure to read what Moore has to say

Q. Is it true that lumber can be

A. Lumber Is being made from
"bagasse," the residue of sugar cane
after the sugar-containing juice is

foot. One ton of bagasse yields 5000
feet of lumber.

BY N. D. MESSENGER.

1t is said in political circles that
the real motive behind the current
suggestions of Gen. Charles G.
Dawes for temporary chairman of
the Republican national conven-
tion is the hope of his friends to
get him on the ticket as the nom
inee for Vice President. II is not
intimated, however. that Gen.
Dawes is a party to this enter
prise. His enthusiastic supporters
suggest that in making the key
note speech he might start n wave
of enthusiasm which would sweep
him into the nomination.
