The wife Of Robert louis stevenson.

Mrs. Robert Louis Stevenson is a port
ly, gray haired woman, who was a grand
mother-and looked it-when she mar
ried this second husband. Her son Lloyd,
who collaborated with Stevenson in the
ghastly tales, 1.-The Wrong Box" and
"The Wrecker," was a middle aged man
before he began to write. Her only 9th
er child is the wife of Joseph Strong, the
artist, and is herself painter in a small
way. Stevenson has been accused of
thrusting his sisters, his cousins and his
aunts into fiction. Certainly, although
Fanny Stevenson has produced some
creditable work as Mrs. Osborne, she
had no reputation for brilliancy in very
clever San L francisco set. There she was
introduced solely in the capacity of chap
eron, to sit, smiling, in her black silk
gown, while her gay little daughter sang
French songs OF chatted with the bright
Bohemian club men.-New York Times.

My DEAR SIR;-I beg to acknowl-
edge the receipt Of your letter Of a
recent date containing a clipping
from some republican newspaper in
which l am quoted as calling the pen
sion rolls Of the country a troll Of
mendicants." 1 beg to assure you
that never at any time or place made
any statement Of the sort or anything
sounding anything like it, but repub-
lican editors and newspaper reporters
are so thoroughly given to the prac-
tce and art Of lying that they find it
difficult to tell the truth in case
where the truth would answer all rea-
sonable purposes as well. No sir, l
never in any manner or at any time
or place mention or refer to the pen
sion roll as a roll of mendicants nor
anything that could be tortured into
any such declaration nor do | enter
tain any opinion of the kind. Think
that / shall prove to the old soldiers
of the state that they never had a
truer or better friend IN defense Of
their rights and their honor than /
have been and will continue to be and
they need not have the slightest fear
upon that score, republican liars to
the contrary Notwithstanding.
Yours truly,

STIoK a pin right here. Kansas

this was actually being done, and let
