IN. ehsrseter. prswn by Old Writers
Not ~ All Ttue to Life.
Some of the older novelists in deal
ing with old Rome, the feudal days
IN France, Germany or England, or
with pioneer life, make their charac-
ters belong ~ another time in the
New World. instead Of 10 another
race and world of their own. In en-
deavorfng TO reproduce scenes and
social conditions which have passed
away many historical novelists con.
fuse the conditions and perennial
human nature. They label their
characters according TO their social
station and confuse these social dis
tinctions with the qualities of the
spirit.
They give us men and women
whom God would fiji recognize, but
whom the critics, more acute, readily
hail as models and types for all other
students Of human nature. Their
characters are nearly all mounted on
stilts, they are animated by motives
and considerations which are quite
impossible, and they talk as human
beings never talked in this world.
They deal not with the exceptional,
which is possible and artistic, but
With the impossible, which is carica-
ture.
Their old Romans and barons and
highwaymen, etc., stalk through the
scene mouthing platitudes and "sen-
timents," whereas we may be quite
certain that they occupied themselves
chiefly with cheating, lying, cring'
ing, stealing, scheming, dining, drink
ing, dissipating, working, gossiping,
gaming and talking slang, just as men
are doing in the streets, marts, pub
lie offices, theaters, ETC., OF Paris,
London and New York today. And
beneath all this action there was al
ways crude philosophy classifying
and analyzing both motives and ac-
tons.
One would imagine from the ro-
mantle representations of these
phases of life that this reflective
habit of mankind was an invention
of yesterday, and did not really date
beyond the decline of the Roman
empire to the philosophy and civil
zation of Greece. These same virtues
and vices exist today, and never will
be entirely eradicated, no matter how
high the tide Of civilization rises
but except in the very lowest plane
of human life, where the relation to
humanity is scarcely more than that
