Perhaps, just as the numerous
LIGHT readers are scanning the
scoops of this issue, Mr.. Henry Rider
Haggard, the far-famed English
writer of fiction, is just stepping down
and out of the sleeper attached to the
west bound Southern Pacific train due
here at 4:l0 today. Mr.. Haggard,
who is in company with his wife, left
New Orleans Monday for this city.
1t will be interesting to read o
short history of this author and law
yer, for he Is not only known at home
as an easy and smooth writer but an
able barrister of considera HE promi-
nence in London. Henry Rider Hag-
gard, of buckingham House, Nor
folk, was born June % 1856. He &C.
compsnied several English officials
through English possessions i'm
Africa, and in May "a, 1877, together
with Col. Brooke, he formally hoisted
the English flag over the Transvsl
Territory. Later he was appointed
Master of the Hight Court of Trans
vaol.
He remained in Transvaal as an ad-
jutant OF volunteer corps, during
the Zulu war. In 1879 he retired
from colonial service. Returning to
England in 1880, he married Mariana
Louise, the only child of the late Maj
Margitson, of Buckingham.
Mr.. Rider Haggard's first book
published In 1882. of political char
acter, is named "Cetywayo and His
White Neig b bors, or Remarks on Re-
cent Events In South Africa" Grub.
ner). This work was most favOrably
received by the press in South Africa,
but owing TO its author being then
unknown. it did not attain large
circulation. Subsequently he pub
lished Dawn" novel QSS4), and
THE Witch's Head" a novel (1SS5).
Both these DO ks were we'll received
especially the latter; but i'm 1886 he
brought out King Solomon's Mines"
the work by which he established his
reputation. This book was, on its
by the Saturday Review and The
Spectator, and instantly became
popular in this country, America,
| and on the continent, having i'm the
space of a year attained sale of 81
| 900 in these islands alone.
Since 1885 there have appeared
from Mr.. Haggard's pen "Allan Quar-
termsin," "Mr. Nelson's WILL"
"Maiwa's Revenge" "She," "Cleo-
patra" and otner romances. "She"
and "Allan Qusrtermsin" are the
most popular of these and have

HnstIing for News.

A great many people think newspa
per should have about page of local
news whether anything happens or not.
Deluded mortalsl Local editors cannot
make people break their necks, commit
suicide or do any of the other exciting
things that go to make up the material
out of which the local reporter delights
to weave paragraphs Furnishing do
nestle news when there is none is very
much like extracting blood from turnip.
1t is no more than fair that those who
grumble at the lack of local news in
their paper should stop and think
whether they could not give the editor
an item or two worth printing. and, il
SO let them hold their peace or growl al
their own remissness.
