DIR. BURNETT.

day until the death of Professor Stowe
she never received tribute which did
not please him more than it did her.
The husband of Elizabeth Cady Stan
ton was an influential politician and had
intimacies with men like Seward, Chase,
lincoln, Wendell Phillips and others
famous a generation ago, yet the great
equation Mrs. Stanton gained as
writer and public speaker Swallowed that
which Mr.. Stanton enjoyed. However,
he was always proud of his wife, and it
rather pleased him when he was intro
duced as the husband of Elizabeth Cady
Stanton.
There are several contemporaneous
examples worth quoting of men who de-
light in the recently won literary fame of
their wives.
One of the most romantic stories is
that of the courtship and married life Of
DR.. Burnett and his wife, Frances Hodg-
son Burnett. Mrs. Burnett, who was
born in England, but whose family had
removed to East Tennessee in her child
hood, was a dreamy and yet vivacious girl
still in her teens when she met young
man, equally poor, but who possessed
great ambition to become a physician of
ability and wide repute. DR.. Burnett
studied medicine, and was licensed to
practice it in this remote Tennessee set
Element, and while his practice was still
extremely small he married young
Frances Hodgson when she was little
more than a girls Sko had s.'~itten some
little tales which had been published, but
she had no idea of life of literary fame.
Dr.. Burnett was specially fascinated
by the study of the eye and it's diseases,
and he had consuming desire to go to
the great hospitals of Europe, put him
self under the distinguished oculists
there and by a course of severe training
6t himself as a specialist in diseases of
the eye. His wife shared his ambition,
and it occurred to her that possibly she
could help him. So she took up her
pen, and calling up the recollections of
her child life in the mining districts of
Lancashire, England, wrote story,
which she timidly submitted to the ed
itor of one of the great magazines. It
was instantly accepted, and Mrs. Bur-
nett found that it brought her not only
sufficient sum to make the course of
study in Europe possible, but that it had
brought her literary reputation as WELL
This was "That Lass O. Lowrie's"
With the money thus earned DR.. Bur-
nett and his wife went abroad, and liv-
ing with great economy they were able
to spend two years there.
At the end of that time DR.. Burnett
was regarded by the physicians as not
only master of this specially but as
promising to be of great service to the

when of a sudden her friends in the lit
erary world were astonished by the an
nouncement of her engagement to q
young theologian, the Rev. DR.. Ward.
Miss Phelps had won success by her first
novel, ''The Gates Affair."" and she had
sustained and increased it by IA success
sion of stories which have appeared quite
regularly for more than twenty years.
She was full grown woman when DR..
Ward was boy in pinafores, but he in
his childhood admired her stories, and
when he came to mans estate and knew
Miss Phelps admiration was supple
mented by affection, and the woman,
touched by this evidence of sincerity,
gave to him what she had declined to
Others-her heart. The union, in spite
of the difference of years, is an ideal
one-frst, because love is there, and
next because they have a common aim,
for since their marriage DR.. Ward has
elaborated with his wife, the result of
this joint labor being two novels upon
themes taken from the Bible, and it is
in their contemplation to publish series
of this Sort
Perhaps the prettiest little romance of
all is the story of how Rose Terry Cooke
won her husband. Rose Terry was
New England girl who had by series
of exquisite short stories won tributes
not only from literary critics but from
the great reading public. Among those
who admired these stories was young
banker named Cooke, who lived in the
country village of Winsted, Conn. His
recreation was in the reading of them,
and he looked forward to new story
from Rose Terry with intensest delight.
He became cashier of the local bank.
and, as Miss Terry was at that time liv-
ing in Winsted, he was able not only to
admire her works but to bestow con-
siderable share of this admiration upon
the woman herself. She was older than
he, the difference in years being consid
cradle, but that seemed the laore to fas-
cinate the young banker; and those liv-
ing in Winsted who saw the gentleness,
chivalry and admiration which charass
terized his courtship remember it even
to this day as the most ideal gallantry.
They were married about dozen years
ago, and their married life has been
ideal
Mr.. Cooke was until recently the lead
ing banker in the village, and in bust
ness affairs esteemed most shrewd and
capable man. A year or two ago he re-
moved to Pittsfeld, Mass. But more
than the making Of money does the re-
pute of his wife give him satisfaction,
and he takes even greater pleasure in
hearing her praises sounded than she
does herself. It is his crown Of happi-
ness that he is known as the husband of
Rose Terry Cooke. e. ]. EDwARDs.

OF course the business interests which
compelled Mrs. Burnett to devote A.
most all her time to her pen, and, on tho
other hand, the close and exhaustive at
tention which Dr. Burnett gave to his
chosen field, have made 1t necessary for
them to live somewhat apart. ....
The most recent case Of literary sue
cess won by woman Is that of Mrs.
Van Rensselaer, Cruger. She has been
for years favorite in the most distin-
guished social set in New York city, and
she had through travel abroad become
acquainted with people who are worth
knowing on the other side. She wrote
anonymously novel about year ago
which attracted attention, and has since
then written two short stories which
have added to her fame, and though she
needs no pecuniary stimulus, yet her
successes have brought her considerable
sums of money. Mrs. Cruger was mar
ried some years ago to Col. Van Rensse-
laer Cruger, whose name itself indicates
his position in social circles. He was
well known not only in society but to
the business and political world of New
York state long before his wife had any
other repute than that Of charming So
cial queen. Col. Cruger became so prom
inent in politics that he was nominated
for one of the chief offices in the gift of
his party, and for long time was one
of the leaders Of the Republican organi-
cation in New York city.
a very thorough knowledge of the in
tricate and perplexing politics which
characterize the organizations of both
parties in New York city. Moreover,
with the voters he has been popular,
and as his political ambition is by no
means over it is quite possible, if his
party regains power, that he may yet
be elected to an important Office. AS
business man his integrity and ability
are unquestioned. Col. Cruger has been
a little amazed at the sudden success of
his wife, not because he was surprised
at the development of her abilities, but
because he was astonished that the gen.
eral reading public should have taken to
the high class literature which she pro-
duces. His wife's reputation is too re-
cent and his own toolwell established for
him to be pointed out in New York city
as the husband of Mrs. Van Rensselaer,
Cruger.

COMMISSIONER HELGEsEN in his talk
at Fargo Saturday to board of trade
members, says the Argus, stated he could
not consent to endorse an appeal to 20
outside the state for begging seed wheat
when the county for which it was wanted
had a large debt limit left u~nexhausted.
He said, in reply to the remark of how
hard it Is now to float bonds, that he be-
lieved the elevator companies would take
the county's bonds and furnish the ne
cessary seed wheat, and the commission
ers could take liens from the farmers. If
there should prove to be a good crop, the
elevator companies would accept the
money in the fall and the bonds could be
retired at any time previous to the date
they became due. This seems a fair
proposition, and Mr.. Helgesen urges the
board of trade to send a letter to the
Dlckey county commissioners urging
such a course.

The Chicago Tribune says: All the
editorials Of the democratic and mug
wump papers on the subject of the recent
reciprocity agreement with Brazil read
like editions of the play of Hamlet"
with Hamlet left out. The topic is one
which cannot be ignored. It is emphat-
ically the news of the day. But in dis
cussing it not one of these papers
mentions the name of MI. Blaine, who
was first to propose the reciprocity
policy, who worked at it for a year in the
face Of obstacles which would have
daunted most men, and the fruits of
whose tolls the nation is now about to
reap. What is the reason for this studied
avoidance of all mentic of Mr.. Blaine?
One can understand this on the part of
the mugwump sheets. They hate him
with all the hatred men bear to one whom
they have injured, but who has not
injured them. But that does not
explain the course Of the democratic
journals-as, for instance, why the New
York Herald should speak of the presi-
dent only ip it's mention of the Brazilian
treaty. They must act as they do be-
cause they dread the popularity of the
man and his measures and fear that it
will stand somehow ip the way Of the
success of their party and Of it's getting
the offices, which is all it cares for and
which is about the sole sufficient reason
for its existence. But whatever be the
reason, this attitude of the democratic

up and frost bitten small-mindedness

NORTH DAKOTA, through the ~jealousies
of the county officials of Mcintosh
county, the shortsightedness, stubborn
ness and indiscretion of her citizens, is
receiving a great deal of uncompliment-
airy advertising just now. The people of
that county are destitute, and appeals
for aid are being made in Fargo, ST. Paul,
Minneapolis and other cities. 1t seems
the people of that county take this
course rather than exhaust their own
resources by bonding the county-which
a be done to the extent of about S1l,-
600. This is wrong. The individual
should at first exhaust his own resources,
then the county, then the state. Outside
appeal for aid should not be made until
ali these resources have failed.
