illustrated, and many of them have been
collected into book called 1.-THE Queer
People, which had and still has o largo
sale. Tho animals therein talk and
speculate and moralize Said Mr.. Cox:
"After writing for Juvenile magazines
several years, learned that story to
be successful must have moral It
wasn't enough to be funny, and con-
ceived the idea that while animals were
successful, children could never forget
that my stories about them were fables
This feeling interferes with the love
children can have for the possible"
So he bethought himself of the Brown
les, being very careful to find out ex-
actly what they are. 81 took the defini-
ton from the Encyclopaedia Britannica,
and here it is in the front of the Brownie
books" said Mr.. Cox, opening one and
quoting from it. 81 found they were all
males, delighting in harmless pranRs
and helpful tasks, and that they never
hold conversations with people. add
ed, for the sake of moro action, that
whatever task they begin they must fin
ish, and that whenever the suns rays
strike ono he loses his mystic power
Another of his ideas was TO put n
childish face on each figure. Children
study every face separately" says the
author, "and know them Individually
That is curious point. have never
used name for single nrowuic, but
each has been named by his character
and is known Individually. There aro

many more--thirty in ALL"
Mr.. Cox gets letters every day from
children who write about the Brownies
and want his autograph. He answers
every one, though it is getting to be a
task now. 81 can imagine just how
pleased they are when they tear open
the envelope and find what they want, >

says Mr.. Cox, and they have it, as every
visitor will testify. A glass of wild
flowers Is on the bookcase. Several Of
the pictures are large engravings of the
Brownies, and hanging here and there
are real Brownie figures made by ad-
mirers Of the little men. One group

CHlLDREN'S DAY
Fittingly Observed at the Meth
odist Church.
The Program, Consisting of Reading and
Recitations, Successfully Carried
Out-Dr. Denny Talks Briefly.

Children's Day was appropriately
observed at the Methodist church
yesterday. The exercises consisted Of
recitations and reading by the chill
dren, interspersed with choice music
al selections, in which the whole
congregation joined. The pulpit and
church were tastily decorated. >The
regular sermon was dispensed with,
though DIR. Denny delivered an i'm
pressive and appropriate address.
He gave a vivid description of
Bethlehem and Bethany as they APP
peared to him during his journey
through Bible lands. He related
some touching incl ents of the good
work children had done. Like Plato,
he thought small boy was the hard
est wild beast to tame, but Christ's
arms are large and strong enough to
take care of them. Children often do
incalcuable good simply by word or
an act. Ifthere is nothing else TO be
gained by religion hut the joys and
happiness derived from ii in this life,
it would more than compensate for
the effort.
Superintendent j. ID. Moore made
report OF the Sunday-school work
OF the past year, and spoke hopefully
OF the future. He gave some inter-
esting figures in regard to the church
and Sunday-school membership.
A collection was taken up by four
little girls, the proceeds OF which
were to go to needy Sunday. schools.

ems said, speaking of children, al love
these little people, and it is not a slight
thing when they, who are so fresh from
God, love u.s." If Palmer Cox, known
to hosts of children as the author of the
Brownie stories, believes this, he must
be happy man. He has daily evidence
that he and his Brownies have the affec-
ton of small hearts all over the country
Mr.. Cox is native of Quebec, but
when quite young came to the United
States and went to California, railroad
ing. He was a born craftsman, always
making pictures. In travelling he learn
ed much of western kfe and incident.
These he wove into stories and few
verses, always doing his own illustrat-
ing. He was one of the first to combine
the two. A book called "Comic Yarns
in Verse and Prose" was published and
sold by subscription. 1t was written
mainly in San Francisco and abounds In
western humor and anecdote. Mr.. Cox
shows another work published in three
pamphlets, each containing long, IL
lustrated comic poem, One was called
"That Stanleyl' appearing at the time
of Stanley's search for Livingstone; the
second, "How Columbus Found Ameri-
Ca" and the last, "Hans Won Pelter's
Trip to Gotham" These ran through
many editions and their theme was, as
in almost all he has written, humorous
adventure.
Mr.. Cox says that by nature he is an
artist, but that his writing has been ac-
quired. After doing much prose he
tried verse, and found it was better
liked. He had always been lover of
good poetry. II don't believe you could
give me a line in Shakespeare that
could not follow with the next succeed.

by heart. And I'm very fond of Scott's
poetry too"
About fifteen years ago Mr.. Cox came
to New York. Gradually he found that
his most successful work was that done
for children. He remained true to this
discovery and has written no end of
tales in verse about fairies, goblins
giants, dwarfs and all sorts of animals
These were grotesquely and fancifully

LITTLE Rock, ARK, June co.
Joseph Dorsey, a well known citizen
of Madison county, bade his wife
goodbye one day last April, and
started out to hunt wild turkeys. He
never returned and was traced to the
mountains, but Notwithstanding the
entire ne!ghborhood joined in the
hunt, no clue to his whereabouts
could be found. Yesterday his dead
body was found IN cave about six
miles from his home. There was a
bullet hole in his head showing that
he had been murdered. A large
stone had been placed at the entrance
of the cave, evidently to prevent dis
covery.
1t is supposed that Mr.. Dorsey ac-
cidently ran across a mountain still
while hunting and was killed by the
mOonshinC rs who operated it.

DrubbinG.

LOUISVILLE, Nov 2l.-Society circles
in Bowling Green, KY, are worked up
over duel in which two scionS of
worthy families used their fists. Guy
Kelly, prominent member of Nash
vile society, arrived in Bowling Green
Friday, accompanied by six friends, and
at once sent a challenge to Carl Herd
man, one of the bes known young men in
the city, to fight duel with knives or
pistols. Mr.. Herdman accepted the
challenge, but insisted on his right, as
the challenged party, to select the
weapons. He chose fists, and named
Reservoir hill, quiet spot in the city,
as the place and this morning at day
light as the time.
The men met with seconds and ref
cree. They stripped to the waist and
were soon at work. Herdman is mag
nificent athlete, and knocked the Nash
vile man down three times In the first
round. Kelly was grOggy, but came
up gamely for the second round.
Herdman was doing up his exhausted
antagonist, when the police arrived and
arrested the whole party. They were
arraigned in court this afternoon aid
fined for fighting in the city limits The
encounter was the result of a note writ
ten by young Kelly to one of MI. Her
mans girl friends.

Seattle.

PORTLAND, Or, Nov. 21.-NOt since
the winter of 1889 have the railroads of
the Northwest experienced such diff
culties on account of washouts and
landslides. The Northern Pacific has
probably suffered more severely than
any other line. Since Thursday night
no trains have passed over the main
line to the east, but the mails
and passengers have been sent over the
Union Pacific from Wallula by way of
Portland. A dispatch from General
Manager Dickinson, of the Northern
Pacific, this afternoon states that the
bridges have all been repaired on the
main line and that the trains will run
Oh schedule time.
The Great Northern has had trouble
north OF Seattle on the coast line. The
heavy rains nave raised all the streams
until many Of them are raging torrents,
carrying bridges, logs and debris before
them. Only thirty miles of the Great
Northern remained to he built to com
pete the connection with the east, but
she heavy storms have destroyed much
OF the grade, and the cOnstruc ion work
has been suspended. The landslide at
lbe Cascades on the Union Pacific
blocks all through trains, but the com
pany have boats at hand with which to
make the transfer of passengers and
mails, so only slight delay is occasioned.
General Superintendent Barker, OF the
Union Pacific, said this landslide was
something enormous; that the entire
mountain side appears to be sliding
into the Columbia river.

LEO INTERESTED

In the Recent Presidential Strug-
gle in the United States.
ROME, Nov. 21.-The pope followed
with the liveliest attention the recent
presidential struggle in the United
States. He had special reports concern
ing the progress of the campaign and
the result Of the election sent to him.
His holiness has no special sympathy
with either of the great American par
tics, but his sympathy with and adj
miration for the United States make
him DESTROYS of knowing all the devel-
opments of the republican spirit and all
shades of current public opinion i'll
both political and social questions.
La RaSSegna Rationale. the great po-
litcal review of Florence, has an article
attacking the democratic policy of the
pope. The RaSsegna asserts. and gets
angry over its belief. that this change
in the Vatican policy will end i'll the
election OF an American pope. The
article is Singularly significant, proving,
as it does, the interest which the United
States has in the pope'S policy and its
developments toward democratic Catho-
liciSm.
The Vatican is we'll satisfied with the
lcSullS VI IGdIIull ClCCliOHS3 DCCuuSC III
the great towns, out of the total Of pos
sible voters, only fifth or fourth
have gone to the polls. This inditfer-
ence OF the electoral body is the best
justification OF the pope'S tactics, and
proves that without peace being made
with the Vatican the political life of
Italy has become sterile.
The periodic reports current about
the pope being i'll seem to arise from
two causes: First, that he is wont to
seclude himself in order to work more
at his ease, and, next, that his death is
desired by all those to whom his demo-
cratic and republican tendencies are OBJ
noXious. All rumors that he is aIing
should be held doubtful. At present he
enjoys good health, with a freshness of
spirit and power of work which are
simply astonishing. His doctors, his
domestic attendants, and others with
whom he is i'll daily contact, marvel
over his vitality, his alertneSS of mind
and body, ale will live many years
yet" said one who daily sees him. For
a number of weeks past, since the in
tense heats Of the summer passed away,
he has worked particularly hard, One
is aet0nshed TO learn that this old man
after sleeping only three hours in the
night can devote the rest of the day to
business, Or to intellectual work.
