The laws and customs, carefully studied up by the authors to get cor rect local color . for their work, have lermltted the Introductions of many new and novel r ngs, dances and 'business,' and furnished scenic ar tists with rich milerluls.

The hors of today, aays Mr. Mencken is the tragedian of the brute creation his doom sounded at the very mo ment of Ills supreme triumph. Here was the horse triumphant and Impeccable. in gait, In temper. In line, In color. In the very sheen of their bucks, these horses were per feet horses. They met the conditions of life In their world, the demands made upon them by that fte which weighs horses, not approximately, as we men do, but precisely, exactly. The roving eye wandered to the hose.

Asheville has been bidding (or tho next congress, of the American Asso ciation for Highway Improvement, which met In Richmond a few weeka ago. It la now learned that this con gress will unite with three other or-, gunlzatlona designed for road Im provement, the four biggest associa tions of the kind In the United States, to hold a mammoth good roads con vention next year; and It haa not yet been decided where tho convention will be held. Roth president Mum mer and Secretary Iiuckner of the board of trade are out of town and consequently they could not lie asked as to what means they wilt adopt to get this consolidattd. convention; but it may bo fairly assumed that If they are anxious to get the one associa tion, they will redouble their efforts to get tho big convention. The asso-' oiatlons uniting In convention are the American Automobile association, the National Association of Road Ma chinery and Material Manufacturers, the American Road fiuilders and the one mentioned above. Each of them has named two representatives to meet In New York at the llclniont ho tel, Decern lier 17, to decide on a place of meeting 'and to draw up tentative plans for It; and their plans will l submitted to the directors of each as sociation for ratification. It Is made clear that each associa tion will retain its individuality, there, being no general consolidation except for holding the single . national con vention. Roth Asheville and Charlotte In Ibis state were trying for ths single con vention and othrr cities seeking It sre: Chicago, Milwaukee, Detroit, Columbus, Cleveland, Baltimore, 8a it Francisco, Washington, New York, ft. Louis. Omaha, Oklahoma City, Colo rado Springs, Nashville, Atlanta and Indianapolis; quite an array of thj leading cltlea In the country, which Indicates the Importance with which the convention la considered.
