Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1891-05-14
Authors Who Write Too Much.

This idea of keeping before the
public" is a good one. in the main,
writes Edward w. Box in the LADIES'
Home Journal, but it must be done
iudiciously and by good work. Just
here is where nine authors in every ten
fail. They think their quality is good,
but unconsciously it has become guam
tity instead. Unwittingly, they are
training their public whose eye they
caught with some early or striking
piece of work, to be perfectly ready to
drop them the moment new star APP
pears upon the literary horizon. Few
authors of recent date made so pro-
nounced and instantaneous success as
Rudyard Kipling, but the public
hardly had time to catch it's breath
after his first story, than along came a
second story, third, and so it has
gone on until six of his books are now
on the market, and series of Injurious
newspaper articles in addition-all
within one year. The result is that
the best judges agree that kipllng IS
OVERRIDING it. ooh, we are having too
much of Kipling," is the general opin-
ion. In consequence, the sales of his
books are dropping off, and the name
of Rudyard Kipling is losing its magic.
The simple fact is, that the great Cos
pei of moderation applies to literature
as it does to everything else. And,
looking at it from financial stand
point, this moderation pays. A good
author who writes only one story in
wear, ofttimes receives more for that
single piece of work than does he who
writes five or six novels during the
same period No matter how clever
an author may be, how well he writes,
he cannot afford to overfeed his public.
The literary public likes its daintiest
desserts in small doses, and then, as in
everything else, there is created an
appetite for more.

some kind, and that 1891 pairs of boots
and shoes were distributed. The city
on the Ohio whose loss came next to
Cincinnati is -JeffersOnville, Ind, which
sustained damages amounting to nearly
one million dollars, causing the ruin of
a majority of her business men, and
placing over five thousand of her people
in want. New Albany's loss is stated at
$3.50, 600; Madison, 5000, 600: Aurora,
$50, 600: Lawrenceburg, $i35, 600. The
intervening hamlets and country lost
$500, 0O0 making Il total of So, 740, 900 in
the places just named. In this stretch
of river country $4,000 people were rem
dercd homeless and dependent upon
public charity. The Legislatures Of
Ohio and Indiana appropriated $4,000
for the relief of the sufferers, and a
steamer was provided to dispense neceS-
SaricS to the various towns.
The most tragic scenes of this flood
happened at Louisville, where the river
cmbankmcnt broke at midnight and
deluged the sleeping city. Most of tho
people aroused in time to fec to high
ground; but about fifty of these 5000
midnight fugitives were swallowed up
by the fierce flood. Those who were too
late to wade made their escape in boats,
or on RATS, housctOps, and floating de-
bris of every kind. Little children were
Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1891-05-14

A most striking scene at this place
was the burning, to the waters edge, OF
six buildings TO record the deeds OF
herosm performed by the men who
riskcd their lives again and again to
save helpless men women and children,
and to picture the divine fOrtitude and
endurance of mothers in caring for their
children and inspiring the hearts of both
helpers and helpless with courage and
hope, is beyond the limits of this brief
sketch, but would constitute a most
thrilling and patoetic chapter in the his
tory of our national disasters.
But these floods brought to light
the despicable as well as he
heroic clements of human nature.
The cruel and villanous depredations Of
the "rver pirates," proving, like vul-
lures, on the helpless and ruined, would
put to shame an ancient buccaneer.
Many of the most exciting scenes i'll the
floods were the chaSeS after these deS-
perate maraudcrs When the river p0-
lice were once sure that they were in the
wake of river pirates they did hesitate
to fire, with surest aim, the moment they
came within range.
One of the most serious losses to the
country along the line of the Ohio floods
is the loss of the "cream" OF its rich,
fertile soil which is carried to the NllSSlS-
