"The reason the Shakers are decreasing
in numbers" said Elder F. W. Evans, OF
The Mount Lebanon settlement recently,
"is that their best energies have been de-
voted to cultivating their lands and ad-
vancing their material prosperity. Their
lands have become so extensive that all
the time and labor of the settlements are
needed To care for their possessions This
is the root of the trouble. We have Just
discovered that the idea of the desrability
of the acquisition of land which we took
with us from the world is wrong Land
monopoly is one of the curses of the coun-
try. We must dispose of part of our
farms and devote more time to missionary
work and spreading the principles of
which we believe to be for the good of the
people. We have gone wrong and must
correct our error. Chicago Times.

THE AUTHOR OF "BeN-HUR.D
How Gen. Lew Wallace Writes and
What He Is Doing.

Special Correspondence.
CRAwFoRDsvILLE, Ind, May lS.-I saw a
statement in print the other day that Gen.
Lew Wallace the author Of Ben Hur," de-
clares that Americans are too much in the
habit of looking at things through English
spectacles, reading English books and adopt
ing English views, and that our supplement
tary independence is yet to be declared |
mentioned the matter to Gen. Wallace, and
we had a conversation or Anglomaniacs
well worth recording. He has no sympathy
for those degenerate Americans who want
to be mistaken for Englishmen
As an author Gen. Wallace has been sue
cessful pecuniariIy. His income from his
books runs at s., 800, or thereabouts, which
is very fair pay for an author, though not
excessive when We remember that he wOrk ked
seven years on Ben Hur" The reading
and researching was something enormous
And, then, he is a conscientious writer,
writing over and over again any part that
appears less than satisfactory 10 him. He
is, without doubt his severest critic. He is
as modest an author as one ever meets Over
50 now, the author of Ben Hur" began to
write at Is, though only within the last few
months has he devoted his time to it
Many wonder why such a distinguished
author continues to reside in this quiet little
town He tells all inquirers that he
wouldn't live anywhere else Not every
one knows, however, that Crawfordsville
can boast of society as charming
as can he found any where in the world. 1t
is college town, beautiful, intellectual and
full of good will to its neighbors and all
mankind There is, perhaps, as little nsr-
rownes> here as in any community under the
sun. What better locality could be found
for an authors dwelling placei
Gen. Wallace writes in the early part of
the day, and walks, recreates during the re-
mainder of the day. His lecture on Turkey
upsets many of the timeworn beliefs Of the
life and customs Of the dark faced Turks. He
is engaged on another book, the title of
which s not yet announced even 10 his inti-
