...Louisiana. Last week Mr. Gordon bought up all the rest of Blennerhassett Island that his family did not own. The Federal Government, naturally, has never attempted to preserve the 227 acres which once threatened to be the jumping-off place for its dissolution. But Mr. Gordon is going to clean up and preserve the island. He is going to cut the brushwood out of the depression which is all that is left of Harman Blennerhassett's home, freshen up the well which is the last material relic of this half-forgotten episode in the days of the nation...
...halfback. Infuriated, the Minnesota team held its pre-game workout in Illinois guarded by firemen, local constables and State police. Then it stepped across the line, handed Oze Simmons & teammates a 13-to-6 beating. Harvard, having failed to score a touchdown against Princeton since 1920, kept that record clean when it met the Tigers for the second time since relations
First editions of practically all Stevenson's works from "Virginibus Puerisque" to "An Apology for Idlers" are abundant. Particularly interesting is the complete manuscript of "David Balfour," written in the fine, legible hand of the author with his own corrections. The copy is remarkably clean.

J. Evening Courieer and Morning Post. The Philadelphia Record was a down-at-heel Democratic rag in a Republican city when Publisher Stern took it over. In Philadelphia it now ranks...
...greatly troubled by what you say. I wrote Tom Sawyer & Huck Finn for adults exclusively, & it always distresses me when I find that boys & girls have been allowed access to them. The mind that becomes soiled in youth can never again be washed clean. I know this by my own experience & to this day I cherish an unappeasable bitterness against the unfaithful guardians of my young life, who not only permitted but compelled me to read an unexpurgated Bible through before I was 15 years old. None can do that and ever draw a clean sweet breath again this side...
