associates in the choir went
to the pastors house to suggest
that his verses should be made of such

When they had gone Mr.. Henderson
seized hand mirror. and was surprised
10 find that his hair was not gray. He
had attempted denial once more, but
had been met by q smiling confidence
in his genius which had fairly rendered
him speechless.
All that night he paced the door of
his study, vainly trying to think Of two
words in the entire language that
rhymed with each other. Early in the
morning he called at the Higgins house
and learned with two-fold sorrow that
Miss Martha was still failing. He wan

wished TO say that he went to press at

hold the forms more than an hour even

that his mind was breaking down under
the strain. About five o'clock In the
afternoon he learned that Miss Martha
was not expected to survive the night;
and at nine in the evening he had
packed up his small possessions and
quietly fed the town.
There was tremendous sensation
when this news had percolated through
the channels of Rnsionville gossip.

the reason, had to fasten his lips with a

A POPULAR WRITER.
The Literary Career Of William
 Dean Towels.
lis Early Life . Bold Struggle for Exis- tence-Fame and Honors Won Under Adverse Conditions - His
 Later Triumphs.

William Dean Howells came of sturdy stock. His ancestors on his fathers side were Welsh Qualzers. His grandfather was born believer in free republican government, and came to America with those principles firmly implanted in him. He became a pronounced Methodist, but his son, the father of the nov elist, was a believer in the doctrines of Swedenborg, in which also William Dean was educated. His father was a man of more than ordinary culture, possessed an excellent library for his day and generation, and the boy was brought up in an atmosphere of books and culture. He was led early to court literature, and almost as soon as he could read William Dean made verses and put them in type in the office of his father.
 William was born at Martins Ferry, O., March 1, 1887. When years old his father removed to Hamilton, O., where he bought the Intelligencer, a weekly newspaper, where the future novelist learned to ''sticlk type" when he was only 12 years old. In 1S49 the father sold his paper because he could not con- scientiously support a president who believed in slavery, and he removed to Dayton, where he bought the Tran script, a semi-weekly, and made daily of it. This failed, however, at the end of about two years. In 1851 the elder Towels was a clerk of the house at the state capitol, and William Dean worked as compositor for $4 week in the office of the Ohio State Journal. There he made the acquaintance of John J. Piatt, which was very helpful to him. The family removed soon thereafter to Ashtabula, where they worked on a newspaper, the Sentinel, which the elder Howells purchased, and on which the family worked; this jour-
