A LARGE amount of gush is being
wasted over the fate of Igoe, the asso-
ciated press reporter lost in the Trib-
une fire at Minneapolis. As a matter
of fact he seems to have stayed at his
wire to send an unimportaut message
when he was told to escape. He fell,
the victim of his own delay. He helped
nobody by staying, and but for the fact
that he is dead would be severely CEN
sured,

SUCCESS IN LITERATURE.
Books That Came Into Vigorous Being Al
most by Chance.

Books That Came Into Vigorous Being AL
most by Chance.
There have been cases in which liter
ary renown has been won unawares. In
affirming this such instances as those of
Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stoves ''Uncle
Toms Cabin" Mr.. Blacks Daughter of
Heth," and Rider Haggard's king Sol
onions Mines" examples of astonishing
success achieved at stroke, are not in
mind but Sir Walter Scott kept ''Wa-
verify" by him in manuscript nine years,
fearing that by its publication it might
put in peril the reputation which was
alreadyhis IN virtue of his poems.
1t is most unlikely that Master Sam
nef -Pepys dreamed of the. immortality
his DIARY" was to give him. Miss Fer
rier, the writer of the striking stories,
1.-THE Inheritance" and Destiny" has
herself Stated that her first work was
begun at the urgent desire Of a friend,
and with promise of assistance, which,
however, failed long before the end of
the first volume. The work was thrown
aside, and resumed some years later. 1t
afforded occupation and amusement for
idle and solitary hours and was pub
hshed in the belief that the authors
name would never be guessed at or the
work heard of beyond a very limited
sphere" AS final and recent instance,
Prof. Henry Drummond and his widely
circulated Natural Law in the Spiritual
World" may be quoted. The professor
has told his readers that that fascinat-
ing book was never formally written.
1t came into being almost by chance. -
