that work she took full editorial charge of
The Sunny South, a weekly story paper pub
lished in Atlanta, and kept two serials con-
stantly running in addition to her other
labors. During the spare hours left by this
task she wrote "Manche," which was pub
lished by the Appletons, and this was fol-
lowed by "Wild Work." which was a tale Of
the reconstruction period Immediately after
the war. Both had an enormous success, but
"Manchen is the better book. These were fol-
lowed by almost numberless serials and other
shorter articles of every conceivable style,
all marked by rare vigor and originality.
While still working on The Sunny South,
Mr.. George Munro wrote and offered her an
enviable position on his publications as lit
erary editor, and she went to New York
some four years ago, and has won her way
there. Mrs. Bryan married at IA, and has a
little boy of about 10, who remains in the
south with his father, who is not in good
health. In appearance Mrs. Bryan is very
attractive, having beautiful soft, dark eyes,
fine forehead and mobile features, slen-
der, girlish figure and thick head of black
hair, which she wears short. She is quick
and nervous in her movements, absent
minded to degree as regards her belong
ings, and she seems to live on nerve, for she
eats scarcely anything.
Mrs. Bryan now has an ample salary,
though she was not always so Fortunate and
had to win her way against many obstacles.
In the beginning she had no help to a liter
airy career, having been born and reared in
the middle of Florida in an isolated home on
cotton plantation. There We're no railroads
within fifty miles, and no schools She had
few books and no education except that
given by her mother who was superior
woman, until she was II years old, when she
was taken to an academy and there remained
until her marriage, after which she pursued
her studies until she graduated.

RUBBER SHOES.

During the summer the New York
Observer has had various notes and quer-
les on the probable date of the introduce
ton and manufacture of rubber shoes.
One writer thought about 1881, another
a little earlier, but the following, clipped
from the Observer of Sept. ~, establish
es conclusiyely that they were used as
early at least rs 1924:
Pardon one more allusion TO the sub
ect. | think your readers will be inter-
ested to know that among the curiosities
of the X. |. Historical society is pair
of rubber shoes which were presented TO
General Lafayette when he visited Amer
lea, presuma bly, for the last time, /. e.,
in 1924. George W. Greene, as grand
son of General Nathaniel Greene, Lafa-
yette's friend and companion in arms.
found cordial welcome at the home of
Lafayette in the winter of 1881, though
but a youth then Fifty-onc years later,
in presenting these rubber shoes To the
h. |. Historical society, Prof Greene
wrote of this visit as follows: lone
day got caught in the rain, and the
kind old gentleman General Lafayette)
quickly observed that had no oyershoes
on. where are your overshoes, George:
said he; you surely do not 60 out with

vide you, he said, and turning to his
valet, Bastian, told him TO bring the
overshoes that were given him in Ameri-
ca. In few minutes Bastian stood
before him with the overshoes in his
hand. 'rhese were given me in Ameri-
ca said the general, 'and as | rarely go

VIEW OF THE CRATER.

ton to the area covered This was because
the district is mountainous and very thinly
settled Not more than 500 persons were
killed, though the half of whole enormous
mountain was blown bodily into the air and
in its fall covered at least forty square miles
of the lower country.
The feature in which this differed from
previous calamities of the kind was that it
was not, strictly speaking, volcanic erup-
ton. There was no lava, and the fall of
ashes was very light; there was simply an ex-
plosion by steam, on scale so vast that all the
boiler explosions since man first used the fluid
as a motor, united into one, would not have
made an introduction to it. Evidently the
bottom of vast lake suddenly opened, the
water descended into the body of the volcanic
furnace and was instantly converted into
steam; there was q convulsive culver for,
perhaps, ten or twenty seconds, then tho
whole upper half and eastern side Of Mount
Bandaizan sprang into the air and, appa--
emily turning over towards the east fell in
mountainous masses, burying few hamlets
under rock and earth to the depth Of hun
dreds of feet. In vain does the Imagination
strive to conceive Of such a CONFUSION, or
the pen of genius to describe it. Yet many
persons witnessed it and live to tell the tale
OF course these were minor phenomena of
note. Steam issued from crevices on and
about the mountain for some time. Peaks
and cliffs here and there fell. New lakes
were formed and new hills on the former
plain. But the destruction was sudden and
complete. Only one buried village can be
reached at all, and twenty days digging
were required for that the Others were in
stantly crushed to atoms below millions OF
tons of earth and rock, and all life therein
annihilated in the twlnkling Of an eye. The
wind created by the conclusion blew down
villages and uprooted forests several miles
away. The dust and steam also injured
many at some distance. But the strangest
feature of the destruction is that the border

GEN. J. G. PARkHURST.
Recently Appointed United States Minister
to Belgium.

Recently Appointed United States Minister
to Belgium.
Gen. John G.. Parkhurst, the recently ap-
pointed minister plenipotentiary and envoy
extraordinary to Belgium, was born in
Oneida Castle, New York, April H. 1924,
educated at the Oneida academy, and was
admitted to the bar in 1913 after four years
study in the office of A. T. Grove. He prac-
ticed his profession IN his native town for
two years, and then removed to Coldwater,
Mich. where he continued actively in prac-
tice until 1861.
He was secretary Of the Democratic
national convention at Charleston in 1850,
and on his return home asserted his belief
that war was coming and the government
would need his services at an early date.
Soon after this he was appointed lieutenant
colonel of the Ninth Michigan infantry, and
was mustered in Sept. ~, 1881, reporting to
Gen. Sherman in Kentucky month later.
He was captured at the battle of Murfrecs-
boro July -, 1862, and remained prisoner

Congress Declares War.

Both houses of congress must act sepa-
rately on bill declaring war by the United
States against some other country, and the
bill must be signed by the president. The
president and the senate can make peace.
Thus it takes three separate actions TO de-
clare war, and only two to make peace. In
1872 the declaration of war against Great
Britain was entitled IAN act declaring war

A few years ago, while in Washington, the

headquarters, the old National hotel He
was sitting in his invalid wheel chair, with
little court Of friends around him, and dur
ing his conversation with them he took up
book from the table beside him, saying:
"Do you want to read the best novel ever
written by an American man or womanT'
Of course, that aroused curiosity, and every
one waited for him to continue "This book"
he said, "is the most dramatic and absorbing
novel | ever saw. 1t positively electrified
me, and have read 1t over three times, each

II was said at the time that the bonds were @
