...Dice of the Gods. Mrs. Fiske is the latest actress to lend her talents to the dramatic literature of dope, which has filled nearly a dozen theatres this season. At least she is a cheerful dope fiend. Hers no life of nervous shivering, furtive sniffs of coke, and dull-eyed fits of depression, but rather a bright and sunny addict, having a good time with her drugs. In fact the very Pollyanna of snow birds, now singing, now clowning, now whimsical, but always looking on the bright side of morphia. It is, perhaps, the most interesting and innocuous...
...United States Naval Academy at Annapolis. The Naval Academy is orthodox and oldfashioned; the New Haven School is advanced and experimental. At Professor Thomas' there are no books, but rather wall maps, and mathematical games; no paper pads, but slates. Competition is emphasized; the clever rewarded; the dull punished.

But, in cold weather his conversation might become dull, and his writing would always be extremely telegraphic. He picks up an adjective here and a verb there until he can talk rather fluently of the weather and politics. Indeed, such writers as Hobbes, Swift and Defoe won success on very few words...
...bond market again experienced a dull week, no important price changes being evinced except the continued pressure upon Liberty Bonds. These obligations of the U. S. Government have declined slightly, partly in consequence of such symptoms of an advancing money rate as recently shown by Reserve rediscounts and Treasury certificates, but also because of selling by banks. During the recent business depression, in the absence of suitable commercial paper, many banks invested their funds in Liberty Bonds to an unusual extent. The present expansion of trade and advance in commodity prices have led to increased mercantile borrowings from banks, which...
