The classic story of Barbara Frietchie " her poet-sung waving of an American flag from ' her window as “Stonewall” Jackson's Confederate troops marched through Frederick, Md., has been challenged by John Clagget Proctor, Washing- {ton, D. C., historfan. Three reasons were ed by him to show the lack of foundation for the story. First, Barbara was bed-ridden at the time; second, Jackson’s men did not march by| her house; and, third, it was dark not daytime ~when they left Grederick. In fact, Mr. Proctor inclined to the opin- jon that had Barbara waved a flag, it would have been the Stars and Bars and not the Stars and Stripes. He quoted from the diary of Capt. H. K. Douglas, of Juckson's staff, who mentioned " the age and iliness of Barbara Frietchic, and d that her own loyalty was not above sus- and her ‘relatives had assured him if she ad waved a flag “to the rebel tread” it would and assign- [ ble | and of | turn Quantrell, then descendants no in Frederick and in the national age give the Barbara, aged who! capital living live the to tory, so 96 was incident t Mr. Proctor's rather than that which has 2 and o disturbed ver; of come acceptance this ion the the peot be ha of lattér to t is challenge Marian Parker, based on to a cla make m of in nity good usetts, like the renominat by has vid L.

But the mass purchases for literary| clubs do at the same time assist a dangerous tendency among readers to snateh at anything which is being lked about instead of forming and following their own judgment. In these days the “best seller” is apt to sell better than ever before. Millions want to read it because they are terrified of seeming behind the moment, and the author's name thus becomes magically po- tent. The American literary clubs, which s the reader the trouble of choosing for himself, increase this mass movement towards one man and o book. It is bad for letters when the rewards are all or nothing, and that is exactly the result which the submission of readers to a dictatorship, however benevolent, may bring about, since those who acquire the habit of read- ing what they are told to read may end in the deplorable condition of reading nothing else. e “Both Senate and House are ready for busi- ness,” says a headline, but, of course, one must not infer from this that the Senate really in- tends to do business as long as anything re- mains to talk about.— (Buffalo Courier.) deal alarmed for fear our great Senator K will lose the sense of humor vote when he stands for, re-election next year.— (Ohio State.
