Sirs: I am inclosing a clipping from the Dayton Journal. The morning newspaper which printed the story, unlike its sister afternoon headliner the Herald and Jimmy Cox's* News, is usually quite unsensational, commonplace, dull and unimportant?it seldom "probes" or "raps." I do not think it even prints an annual sea-serpent story. So much for the implied authenticity of the story. PAUL...
...Kalakaua granted the insurgents what was known as the "Bayonet Constitution." It came about at that time that Sanford B.

The other story, "Bewitcher," harks back to "Ethan Frome," and the stark New England of six foot snows and ice-crusted consciences. In the first of these she seems...
Before 1914, when Italy was struggling to imitate her sister imperialists, the cry for a reincarnated Roman state followed each slight success. It followed the slow conquest of Tripoli, won after defeats at the hands of native troops, such as Caucasians have seldom undergone. It fed itself on the spirit of nationalism and a tariff to create industry. But up to the war, poverty remained the characteristic feature of the Italian state...
