A WELL-KNOWN AUTHOR.
Miss Alice French, Popularity
Known as octave Thanet-"
She Is without Doubt One OF the Best
Writers of Short Stories in the
United States = History OF
Her Literary Life.

The short story has become of late
years very marked feature of our lit
erature, and considerable library of
recent books, containing groups of
them, may easily be collected. Num-
bers of the foremost American writer's
in the department of fiction devote
themselves largely to these, and among
them one of the names dearest to a
wide circle of readers is that of Octave
Thanet, of Davenport, Ia. In the al
most lost art of letter writing she espe-
cially excels. She is called the wittiest
letter writer among women. Her real
name is Miss Alice French. She has
for years so successfully cloaked her
personality that many persons were
moved by the strength and other mas
culine characteristics of her writing to
declare that she must be man. She is
a woman, however, and very womanly
woman.
Octave Thanet, according to the
Journalist, is native of Massachusetts,
born of an old Bay state, family, her
mothers people, the Nortons, having
been in the extensive Mayhower immi-
grafton Her male ancestors on both
sides bore arms in the revolutionary
struggle. She was graduated at the
Abbott academy, Where ner paIernal
grandmother had been student long
before; and presently accompanied to
the Mississippi valley her father, a
manufacturer of agricultural imple-
ments, whose health had failed him in
the vigorous New England climate.
During her academic days, Octave
Thanet had made some essays at story
writing. and one of her juvenile at
tempts actually found place in Godey's
Lady's book. As her mind matured,
however, she became conscious of
the comparative poorness of her work,
and, burning everything of the kind she
had written, she made careful studies
of styles, also a European tour, and
after her return she met in Washing

topics, as 1.-The English Workingmen"
and Commercial Crises contributed

in the Atlantic Monthly, and ''Jails, !"

Her special work was not fairly
found until 1882, when very cordial
letter of advice from the editor of the
Century Magazine, upon acceptance of
one of her stories, and a request for
first receipt of any she might thereafter
write, gave her emphatic encourage
ment Her brief South Carolina story.

that year, and was widely copied in the
newspapers of the country. Others fol-
lowed in sufficient number to justify,
within five years, a selection and collec-
ton from them, which was issued in
book form. and entitled ''Kritters in the
Sum- In 1891 second series appeared:
s'Otto, the Knight, and Other Trans
Mississippi Stories" This is character
lied by a strong local flavor which also
pervades the ''Stories of a Western
Town. now running through Scrib-
ners Magazine. She frankly confesses
that this town is Davenport, her home,
and that Harry LOSING, their CEN
tral figure, is a veritable Iowan. Two
larger stories have each filed q book:
'sExpiation,'' a novelette, in 1889; and
''We ALL juvenile published in 1891.
The scene of the latter is chiefly in Ar
kansas, where Octave Thanet's winter
home is commonly made. She is often
the subject of interviews and descriptive
articles. She lives a thoroughly culti-
waited life, is fond of all pretty things,
including clothes, and is SO fascinated
by photography that she will spend
hours together developing negatives in
a hot dark room during the most torrid
summer days.

of remarkable abilities and attachments:
now no longer among the living, who
gave her severe yet kindly criticism
and persuaded her to resume the pen.
In 1873 or 1879 she sent a short story,

Magazine and then to Lippincott's, by
whose editor it was accepted, and her
career was begun.

the color of her studies, which had
been mainly devoted to German meta
physics and political economy. She

She'd Dun Traded.

Detroit L rec PRESS.
1t was on the Arkansas side, few
miles below Memphis, Tenn. l stopped
at a creek near pole-cabIn to water
my horse, and man and five children
and six or eight dogs came down and
surrounded me. After asking where |
was from and how Ear | was going, the
man said:
stranger, reckon / kin ask yo' to
do Inc leetle fayOr?"
"Oh, yes"
My ole woman started fur town half
an hour ago with three prime coonSkinS
to sell. never kin dun tell what was
the ma tier with me, but when she said

Have you thought of something

II just have. must have bin crazy.
When yO' oVertake her tell her she's to
git it all in whisky and terbacker."
TIE road was deep with mud and the
woman must have taken short cut,
for L did not Overtake her. L met her,
however, about half mile from the
county store where she had been trad
ing, and halted her to deliver the mes
sage. She had Il pair of coarse shoes for
herself hung over her shoulder, half a
pound of cheap tea under her arm, and
was using a snuff stick with vIgor and
relish. She never stopped handling
the stick until ready to answer. Then
she waited long enough to reply:

"a woman is agood deal like a cat"
said the philosopher In the negiigee
shirt. "You can never tell which way
they're going to jump"
"Wherefore?" said the man in the
alpaca coat.
Il was thinking of an incident that
happened over on the West side while
ago. There is row of houses on q
street mp there that are rather close to-
gether. One day man who lives along
in the middle of the row thought that
he would have his house painted and he
straightway went down town and hired
the painters to do the job. His roof
was one OF the fancy single affairs and
he wanted it painted red. When the
time caihe to paint the. roof the three
men who were working on the Job fixed
a ladder upon 1t and took places on the
ladder, one at the peak, and one in the
middle and one at the caves. They
We're painting along, when suddenly the
ladder gave way and they were thrown
into the air. The man at the middle
had gone down TO the caves, and the
combined weight of the two tipped the
ladder up and threw the man at the peak
into the air as if he had been sitting on
the business end OF catapult.
w hen the man at the peak went up
he had bucket OF paint in his hand
and ne took it with him. The other two
men dropped to the ground, but he went
away over and fell against the wall of
the next house. When he was going
down the paint few out OF the bucket,
and some of it went on the side of the
house near which he struck. The
painters fell about thirty feet and were
pretty badly hurt. The man who had
the fall from the peak of the roof lay
on the ground terribly injured. His
back was broken and so were his legs.
The men were all groaDing, and quite
crowd gathered around. Somebody
sent call for an ambulance. Just
then the woman who owned the house
on which the paint was splashed came
out. She ran over to the man who had
his back broken and said: Are you
much hurt, my poor man?'
Hes pretty severely injured, num-
said bystander.
"'Oh. Pm so sorry she went on.
is there anything can do for the poor
man" just then she turned and saw
the splotcheS of red paint on the side of
the house. 'WhyT she screamed. look
