over, criticised and denounced or praised
throughout the civilized world. The
"Affaire Clemenceau" is his latest con-
tribution to the stage, but he would
doubtless hesitate before acknowledging
responsibility for the translations offered
to American theater goersas "The Glenn
enceau Case" After long years of ardu-
GUS application he claims well earned
right to leisure, and his study '.looks
more for show than for work, while his
manners are those rather of an ambassa-
dor in dalliance than a man of letters in
employment"
Another French novelist consumed
with q "ferce hunger for toil'' is Al
phonse Daudet. Some time ago he lay
ill, and the doctors gave him no hope of
recovery. He received their practical
sentence to death with calmness, but
there was task to finish. ''Numa Rou-
mestan," that wonderful story of south
ern Frenchman's foibles and genius, had

to be completed Daudet's confdant,
adviser and aid is his wife. He called
her to his bedside and told her how to
close thenovel. Twill do your bidding,
said she. The sick man smiled and fell
asleep contented. He awoke refreshed,
and, much to the astonishment of his
physicians, recovered. "His study has
little characteristic, but is full of books,
and would look methodical but for the
litter on the table,"
George Ohnet, whose "Master of the
Forges" is seen on the American stage
and sold in the American bookstores,
works as hard as Zola, had as bitter an
experience as that Of Dumas, and, like
Daudet, owes much to his wife, who is
his first critic and who copies all his
manuscript for the printer. "Le Maitre
de Forges" was written first as play.
The managers wouldn't take it as gift.
Then Ohnet turned it into novel, which
became immensely popular. After that
the play got hearing and scored tri-
umph. Neatness marks every detail of

spends four hours day. In one partic-
ular place on the desk always stands the
ink bottle, and the spot devoted to blank
paper is never under any consideration
given up to anything else.
Paris claims Zola, Dumas, Daudet and
Ohnet alike for citizens. The last named
alone possesses money not earned with
the pen, but all are wealthy Brains
can be turned to gold with greater facil-
ity in France than elsewhere. Numer-
Gus American writers have fame, yet
few have fortune, and Of the few how
many could afford to settle an income
of $12, 900 a year on a son? That is what
Alphonse Daudet did for his Oldest boy
the other day, when he married Jeanne
Hugo, the granddaughter of Victor Hugo.
And he has two other children who are
to be treated with equal munifcence.

intense melancholy or a craving for
drink and drugs. Large excuse may be
made for this view. School boys and
girls study "English literature" or,
rather, commit to memory biographies
of noted writers, with whose produc-
tions they never become familiar unless
opportunity or inclination gives read
ing tendency to their adult years. They
know that Cowper and Lamb suffered
from great mental depression, but they
have small acquaintance with "John
Gilpin's Ride" or the Essays of Ella"
De Quincy and Coleridge have reputa-
ton as laudanum drinkers among people
who never read the Confessions" or
"Christabel. Poe's "Murder in the
Rue Morgue" is sealed book to many
who are familiar with the tragedy of
his lifelong struggle against appetite,
and nine-tenths of those who accept as
true Byron's intentionally extravagant
statement that he "wrote Don Juan on
gin" have yet to peruse his magnificent
Course of Minerva"
The authors named possessed weak
nesses like men of less celebrity, but
their literary fame was in no way ac-
quired by ''dashing things off," They
had to work, and work hard, weig hing
here the relative value of word and
there the accuracy of phrase, and, to IL
great extent, their frailties were self ex-

ators of "Nana" and Camille" Work,
work, and still more work is with them
the touchstone of success. AS Mr.. Sher
ard says: "Whatever opinions may be
entertained about Zola's books, even
those who condemn him most cannot
refrain from feeling admiration for the
patiepce, perseverance, method and in
dustry with which he has performed the
task that, rightly or wrongly, he consid-
ers the times and his own vocation have
laid upon him" He writes never less
than three hours day, the remainder
Of his waking moments being spent in
the laborious collection of material.
1t takes him nine months to complete
novel, for he is slow and painful
toiler. He handles a pen as laborer
might a spade, with dogged determi-
nation to finish certain task in given
time. At his desk, (which is solid
bench for solid work, the author is not
at ease. His breathing is oppressed, the
forehead is wrinlzled and the expression
one of torment" By unremitting in
dustry Zola has won his peculiar place
in modern literature. Grave objection
may be advanced to much that he has
done. yet few pen pictures can equal in
tremendous realism that paragraph
which describes blind Nana's struggle
for life and the drowning of her cries by
the roars of the popElace urging Napo-
Icons soldiers s'On toBerlin!'
Dumas also has conquered success only
by efforts almost marvellous. 1t took
him ten years to get favorable hearing
for Camille" Now both the play and
novel Of that name are known, wept

apparently on the spur of the moment,
he would rise and deliver a speech glow

nation and pathos indescribable. The
listeners would remain spellbound till
the close of the magnificent effort, and
then remark: "Great heavens! What

closest study of the subject on which he

were carefully turned by the light of the
midnight oil, and their delivery under
conditions suggesting something else
was simply final touch Of dramatic dis
play.
A rather badly informed reviewer
hinted not long ago in the columns of a
New York paper that Zola and Dumas
'put themselves in their books" and
doubtless lived lives similar to those

The commission was given to Frederick

MADAME a. DARE,

The advertisements, rewritten, Of course,
to fit the particular case, are liable to be
read for several reasons. cFirst, they appeal
specifically to the individual reader Sec
ona, they are a sort of evolutionary blow
mnea blow. Third, there are very few
words in them. A glance absorbs them in
their entirety. Fourth, they are not
crowded. Fifth, the same name in the same
place, combining permanency with the in
dispensable advantage of alleged freshness.
These advertisements can occupy any
amount of space, but never should be set
up smaller than as given above. They
would look well on an entire page. They
would be extremely effective in space of
half double column. Generally, the more
space they occupy, the more attractive they
will be. They admit of more words, if de-
sired, including brief descriptions of the
goods, which descriptions can be best
written by the particular man in each par
ticular case.
Better have too much space than too
little. 5000.
Practice economy There is sensible
economy and foolish economy.
Effective economy is consistent. 1t gov
erns every department of the business.
Do not evaporate all your economy upon
your advertising. Better spread it out
evenly over your entire business.

perhaps, stood in the same space for year,

actually tired of it. The readers would be

THE STRANAHAN STATUE.

It Was Recently Unveiled in the Pres.
ence of Its Original.
The unwilling of the bronze statue Of J.
S. L. Stranahan at Prospect park, Brook
Ign, was noteworthy event in several re-
spects 1t was one of the few instances in
the worlds history where such an honor
has been paid to man still living. It
called out one OF the largest throngs ever
assembled in the beautiful park, and the
simple dignity of the ceremony was I'M
usually impressive. Mr.. Stranahan, full
Of years and honors, stood hat in hand be-
fore his counterfeit presentment as the
curtains were drawn, and the vast assem-
blage cheered nightly as the marvellous
resemblance between the mau and his
statue was thus emphasized before their
eyes.
Mr.. Stranahan may be justly called
Brooklyn's first citizen. All his endeav-
ors have been in the promotion of her ma
terial interests and the comfort and well
fare of her citizens. 1t is to him probably
more than any one else she owes her mag
niicent park system, and he was the
protector of the Brooklyn bridge. Eight
cen years ago, upon the public Inaugural
ton of the Ocean parkway, it was proposed
to do something in commemoration of his
services. "Shall it be a service of silver
