THE MAN WITH CHEEK.
A Journalistic Estimate of Albion w. TOurgee
Zone of the Fools"

A journalistic Estimate of Albion w. Tourgee
Zone of the Fools"
Leander Richardson, in Detroit Times.
have now and again, in the course of my
brief and fleeing career, come across isolated
members of the human race who had cheek.
have not struck them often because mankind as
a general thing is sweet and retiring creature
who is almost too good and pure for this lowly
world of ours. As said, / have now and again
found a case of slightly developed cheek. But for
cut-and-dried, double and twisted, lever escape
Inent, full-jeweled gall commend me to Judge
Albion w. Tourgee. This the man who wrote
a political story called IA Fools Errand" 1t
was not great story In fact, it kicked around
a newspaper office for months, and was rejected
Finally a venturpsome publisher brought it out
1t made one of those accidental hits which there
is no explaining, and pourgee became big. gun.
He wrote other books and they we're simply de
elared n. &. He tried to write play. 1t was a
CHASTITY fizze. He started a magazine in Phila-
delphia, called the Continent. 1t was dreadful
thing, and the most terrible point about it
was the fact that it always had detachment of
a story by Tourgee. The Continent went Sc
renely along toward the tomb, and Tourgee sud
denly thought Philadelphia was killing it. He
was wrong. Tourgee was killing it. He would
kill government mule-kill him with envy
Tourgee brought his blessed graveyard for de
ceased ideas over to New York. That didn't
make any difference in its condition. Now he
has made it into a monthly. To
day l the first page of it hung
up on the news stands. 1t contains a
tolerable portrait of Robert Lincoln. and painted
all around the picture in glaring red ink was the
legend: 1.-THE next President of the United
States" Accompanying the portrait there was
of course very laudatory sketch of Mr.. Lincoln
Now, while no man who knows the charming
personal qualities and the strong mental gifts of
Mr. Lincoln will for a moment begrudge him
the commentator of any quantity of
editors, l respectfully submit that the
man who pretends to say at this
stage of the game that Mr.. Lincoln or Mr.
anybody else is going to be the next President is
a 6rst-elass jackass. 1t is not at all a settled
thing who will be nominated for the office on
either side, let alone the extreme uncertainty of
the subsequent proceedings. On the whole, l
think Tourgee is entitled to the cake and the tin
it was baked in Tourgee was failure after
the war as carpet Dagger in the South. And
when man fails as a carpet-bagger it is about
time to bet your money on somebody else.

her great plaything-the first ieepalaee ever
erected:
1.-THE empress ordered six cannon and two
mortars to be set up each side of the front
gateway. 1t makes US shake our head when we
read that these cannon and mortars were like

men said one to another: What will old

explosion, but none came. The cannon re
manned intact and the ball was thrown to some
distance, passing through board two inches
thick, placed about sixty PAGES off.

A Trick of the Drug Trade.

New York Sun.

dotted line is a hieroglyphie for a well-known
physicians name"

A green druggist would puzzle over it, and say,

derstood the trick he would not fill the prescrip-
ton, because the physicians name is not legible,
and, in the event of an accident happening, he
could not throw the responsibility upon the
doctor. The trick is done to secure the trade for
the druggist and commission for the physician.
Another trick in the trade is to write in super
tluously the name of rare or unused drug that
few druggists keep. or to write in one of few
words without meaning, that the druggist and
doctor understand are to be disregarded It is a
disreputable practice, and might lead to fatal
mistakes"

sleeves; and there are documents of historic
value yellow with age and heavy with seals, in
frames of furnished gilt. There are books, also,
in which the SIS are all $" as one of the six
children said-and psalm-books full of ''quavers,"
semi quavers, - and 'demi- semi-quavers.
There is a Kitchen opening out of the living
room" which has the modern innovation of a
cook-stove. The two elder girls practiced cook
cry at the lodge, and could not reach the best
results with tin bake-ovens and long handled
frying-pan.
On those long and lovely days when there
are guests at the home the Lodge, as you may
imagine, is n coy retreat for the girls and their
friends. There is the last recipe from the Cook
ing Club to be-tried in the morning, and the tea
at . o'clock. There is no hurry, for there is no
heavy work to be done before the company"
comes.
There is an old-fashioned flower garden in
front of the lodge and the old fashioned flowers
have had the honor of going, each summer, with
the flowers from the home Conservatives, in
thousands of bouquets, through the Flower Mis-
sion, to the city hospitals and the sickrooms of
the poor.

Fairy Lodge-An Ideal Playhouse.

Mary A. Lathbury, st. Nicholas.
On the level brow of mountain, within
hundred miles of the Office of St Nicholas, stands
a lovely home. There are many beautiful and
interesting things in and around the home, gath
cred from foreign lands and from our own and
nothing has been left undone that could help to
make the six children of the home wise and
happy. But the happiest thought of all was the
building of the little log cabin, called Fairy
Lodge.
There was great deal of pleasure got out of
the building and the settling of the lodge. 1
think the great chimney must have been built
first, for that when the logs are abaze in it,
forms the heart and lungs of the house. The
fireplace almost fills one side of the Giving
room" and all the old-time utensils are there
the andirons, the crane, the tOngs, the bake
kettle, the iron ea-kettle, while the bellows
hangs by the ehimney-side.
There are no modern antiques in Fairy
Lodge, and everything is bit of his
tory. The cupboard at one end of the
fire place is filed with rare old odds
and ends from many a broken set of china.
On the right of the place stands the spin
ming wheel, and the great arm chair is drawn
close to the braided rug before the fire Then
there are chests and dressers with brass corners
andAandes, and chairs, and tables with spindle
legs old-time mirrors, and clock with time
worn face; and, in corner, the big wool-wheel,
the swifts and the reel

LETTERS FROM TIE PEOPLE.



TO the Editor Of the Indianapolis journal:
Your remarks on the precociousness of our
youth in crime are timely. Nor need wego to
Boston or Baltimore to find them. They are
here in our own city and within our view every
day and half of the night, if we to hunt for
them in those hours. The flash literature is
here also; the cigarette, cigar and tobacco are
here; the theater with all its attendant evils, is
here, and, while the youth in only small num-
ber perhaps, are to be seen in attendance at the
footlights, their big brother and sister, and
often father and mother, are there And while
the small boy-and very often girls forced to
be content to stand outside at the door and con
template that all he sees on the bil-bOards is
being enacted up stairs, he thinks some day he
VIII be large enough to go up too. And very
likely he will if, in the meantime he does not find
his way to the house of correction or peniten
hary. Thousands of our own youth are now in
all these stages OF training for those places, and
while am not slow to charge a large amount of
the crime of to-day upon liquor drinking, l do
believe the other influences named are doing
vastly more harm to the youth of both sexes
than strong drink.
If the writers and publishers of such trash
ought to be sent TO prison for life what about
the vendors of the same? And while indorsng
all your language, must also declare my own
convictions that the theater is the cause of as
much evil in the world as any other one agency,
while few equal it. l ask the people of Indian
apois, What arc you going to do about it,"

Prohibition i'm Politics.

To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal:
AS so many are giving their views on the
above-named subject, I would respectfully ask a
short space in your columns to say a few words
expressing my own views, and which are in ac-
cord with the majority of voters in this section
of the country
First-I believe prohibition is not political
question, and cannot be made successful in such
an issue. STANDARDIZATION as its orthodox
advocates expound it, is impolitic; impracticable
because it cannot be enforced, and therefore use
less as legislative measure. Thirdly-If made
party issue. it will irreparably injure the one
espousing the cause and bring about its own de-
feat; first, because there are many good men
who are in favor of some kind of temperance re-
form and would cast their votes in its favor If
set apart from politics. but who would vote
against ID as political measure; second, there
would be few of the opposite party in whom the
faith of the cause would be strong
enough to induce them to desert their
ranks and come over to those of the
enemy at such time. There would, therefore,
be such vast difference in the interchange of
votes as to leave the party indorsing prohibition
sadly in the minority and. lastly. there many.
very many in either party who can be changed
politically for IA small quantity of whisky, and
the opportunity would not be lost by the party
wrecked, and the cause left without an efficient
following.
Temperance is all right morally, but politically
is failure. 1t is impossible to legislate the
opinion of into another, likewise his
tastes and disposition. fla man is disposed to
drunkenness and riot he will manifest that dis
position and satisfy that appetite though the
statute says he shall not
If Prohibitionists believe their cause to be
just, and can be benefited by political meas
ures let them put full ticket in the field and
stand by it, but ten to one the number of votes
cast for it would be less than half their number
of voters in the State. That will give every one
a chance to vote as they please, and will not
ride down either party. There are temperance
men in both parties, but for either party to
champion the cause in the coming election is to
court defeat.
The most sensible thing to do, and the best for
all concerned, is to drop prohibition from politics
and relegate 1t to the church. where it properly
belongs, and to different societies that aid the

Carlyle Talking with Nude.


One evening Lady Ashburnham gave a bril-
liant reception. Among her guests was MFR.
Nude, whose name was then-lS50-just becom-
ing known. During the evening he found him
self standing near Carlyle, who at once singled
him out, and looking him full in the face, said
in his brusquest manner, with his broad Doric
accent, 49, you're the that divides the
sheep from the goats! Air he went on,
giving strong emphasis to his words, it's All
awful thing to Judge man, It's more awful
thing to judge a book. For book has life be-
You'd life. But it is with books it is with
men. Broad is the road that leadeth to destruct-
ion, and many there be that go in thereat and
narrow is the way that leadeth to life, and few
there be that find it." A most admirable say
ing, well worthy to be written on brazen tablets.
Mr.. Nude held his ground boldly enough when
thus attacked as the man who had set himself
up as a censor librorum. In my business L
profess to Judge books only from a commercial
stand point, though it is ever my object TO circu

Bret Harte's Weakness.


New York Letter.
Mr.. Bret Harte has been getting into a good
deal of a stew over the dramatization Of Gabriel
Gonroy, which he thinks has been done without
authority when, az a matter of fact the drama
tizer has bought the privilege. Harte so seldom
does any work that he feels pretty badly when
anybody tries to get away with any of it. Harte
is probably the LATEST human being outside of
the city offices in New York. 1t takes Harte an
hour to write page of manuscript when he is
unusually spry. 1t makes him ache to let off a
single word. because he begrudges the time and
labor Harte gets up full of good intentions
every morning, but he takes Il good stiff
brandy-and soda and concludes that he
will read the papers. Then he has
another brandy -and-soda and wants his
breakfast Then he must have more brandy.
and then after that he has to walk and smoke.
The end of it is that after long line of brandy
and-soda and cigars he does no work whatever
Harte is ostensby the United States consul at
Glasgow, but when he stirs out of London it's
something quite unusual He lives in the house
of the Belgian ambassador, whose wife thinks
Harte is the greatest genius of the age AS long
he will dictate she will write, and all his re-
cent manuscripts are in her handwriting. Some
of them don't sound very much like Harte.
They haven't the old swinging style; they are
feminine. But if Harte can get his own price
for somebody else's work he is the boy who is
going to do it. And if he can draw the elias
