LIVING HATERS.
It Is not always that the columns
of syntactic padding with which the
Saturday Evening Post are filled can
bo added to the compliment of real
literature, p s' or pi aent.
Sam Blythe writes int.-restlngly and
a few of Ills contributions are nonr-
Ilterature. Irvin Cobb writes with the
pen of a high class journalist, enter-
taingly, and the chorus of minor
chords whose mental output finds ae-
ceptance with the editors of th.- Post,
furnish diversion, and main hours are
whiled away pleasantly, not without
wholesomeness. There Is much mate-
rial the Post uses that might better
never have seen the light in print. It
is less than ephemeral
For a number of years the Post,
which has come to be recognized, one
might say. as a national literary insti-
tution with Its three million weekly
buyers and incomputable millions of
readers, has departed from the beaten
path so long followed by standard
t
publications, and seems tb have drop-
ped from its list most of the old arntv
ol writers who for years tilled Its col-
umns with material that was largely
tbpt trash, and which, if pursued con
'Stpntly was likely to send its readers
la the psychopathic wards.
The Post has been seeking in new
fields. Its editors have been eager to
fiid new writers, to raise tip new
stars to blazon in the firmament of
letters, and assiduously they have
pursued this policy, to the end thM.
out of the myriads whose pens are
Nvkilom dipped either in murk or liv-
ing fire, they, now and then, "make a
find,” and in the heaven of words
where sit the editors in judgment,
such a find is said to cause the satn-t
joy that swells about the Throne when
one vile sinner turns to the Cross.
Such a find the Post made In its
issue of December 4. when the story,

Fort Worth, Texas, Dec. 7.- Follow-
ing are some of the features of the
stamp act applying to written instru-
ments, as contained in the new reve-
nue law. This statement is not in-
tended to be complete, and other in-
struments besides tho^e mentioned

make the statement more complete.

peal from'decision of a court.

following instruments:
1. Deeds or other instruments cov-
ering land. The present law does not
tax the entire consideration, but only
the cash consideration recited. Where
as in an exchange of property, the
deed recites as a consideration $1 and
other valuable considerations, the
deed should be accompanied by a
memorandum reciting the real value
of the consideration, and must be
stamped accordingly.

newal of a note executed on or after
