Its authors, tvith rare exceptions, are not bizarre and violent, they possess the rare virtue of giving delight, of soothing and comforting the mind of the reader—that which Is, without doubt, a sign of mentul superiority.” Stories Told of Root.

Beneath this blaze trooped a cro*7d much like—except that it mostly spoke Spanish or Italian or French—a Broadway crowd on New Year’s or election night. Mr. Root was being banqueted In the government house on the plaza, and the great show of the evening was set for 10:30 o’clock, when the banqueting party were to emerge upon a balcony and watch fire men march by in a torchlight pa rade. For hours the populace surged In the plaza below, proud to be ridden back Into lino by their splendid cui rassiers. shouting out Latin Jests to the pastry cook’s men from the Cafe de Paris who pattered through on their way to the banquet hall balancing trays of wonderful quaking Jellies on their heads. ‘Firemen in Torchlight Parade. At last there was a great shout. On the balcony of the palace could be dis cerned a lot of white shlrtfronts fram ed in a blaze of light, the bugles screamed, and round the pluza and past the reviewing balcony the firemen came. They marched like infantry* carrying torches and axes Instead of guns. At the head of the line was a bugle corps which countermarched and drew up In front of the balcony, where, all during the procession, It blared In shrill unison a curious wild march. Presently there came a call, one of those willing, eery calls peculiar to South America. Those who had passed the reviewing stand continued their march on out of the plaza and up into the Avenida’s blaze of lights. Thorc was a rumble and rattle In the dis tance, and all at once Into the glare In front of the reviewing balcony swept tho engines—steam up and! smoking— the hook and ladder and hose carts, pell-tnel! on the dead run. The search light from tho top of the Prensa build ing, which had been swooping back and forth over the crowd, swung down with a fine Latin appreciation of the spectacular, so that It shone down op one side of the square and directly on the turn just beyond tho reviewing stand. In a Shaft of Light. Into this shaft of naked light the horse* swept as they rounded the turn, every' movement thrown out sharply as were those of the white horse which used to perform In the glare of the spotlight at the Hippodrome. Not one of the drivers could see an Inch beyond his horse’s nose, but with a typically South American determination to do the thing a* picturesquely as It could be done, every' man of them sent his team down Into that shaft of blind ing light with as little hesitancy over the reason why os If he had been trooper at Balaklava. The crowd went wild. The moment the last cart was past the crowd broke, and as If by prearrangement surged over to the balcony, roaring for ’’Mees- talre R-r-roo!” "Viva Meestaire R-r-roo!” Those on the balcony waved their arms and said “Sshl Ssh!” Mr, Root stood still, waiting, and feeling, otic would think, pretty pleased with The noise was so great when Ashland, Ohio, Nov. 3.—H.
