After the Man, Not His Books.

1t must often he Notifying to writer
of true genius TO find how much more in.
torcsting he is than his books to the people
whom he addresses with pathetic irony as
his readers. " Many authors no doubt
derive their principal qualification in life
from this fact. Their so called works"
are nothing but the advertisement of the
peepshow which they are longing to open
to the eyes Of all and sundry Nay, such
is the vanity of human nature that proba-
bly, every author who has been lucky
enough to meet with this particular temp.
tation has yielded, at least for a few mo-
ments, to the keen, selfish pleasure of feel.
ing that he the II who wrote it, has
achieved success, instead Of being
warmed by the more dccorous satisfaction
of knowing that the truth has been sue
cessfully vindicated or the beautiful re.
produced once more in IA moderately faith
ful copy.
But when the first flush Of proud excite
ment is over, the true author, who feels
that the important point Is that he had
something to say and has said it, must be
often disguised by the kind of stir that he
makes. The reading public PUSHES at him
with a multiplicity OF irrelevant questions
Who is he? What was his father? Is no
married? Do they quarrclY Docs he wear
his hair long or dress like other peoplc'
Is he addicted to shorty and btters, or has
he written his book on strictly vegetable
diet? Not unnaturally many authors
shrink from this sort Of inquisition and
shut themselves up at the risk Of being
called bears, and, on the whole, the Brit
ish public is good humored enough not to
burn these authors or their works In tho
market place for thus baking their Curl

ORIGIN OF WORDS.
From the Washington Post.

From the Washington Post.
Equivocation, word now applied
to any evasion, was once understood
to mean the calling of diverse things
by the same name.
Peck at first meant . basket or
receptacle for grain or other sub
stances. The expression at first had
no reference to size. .
Starve was once to die any manner
OF death. Wycliffe's sermons tell
how "Ohrist starved ON tho cross for
the redemption Of man."
The word tinsel once meant brill
liant, shining. Milton uses 1t In this
sense when he speaks Of "the tinssl-
slippered feet Of Thetis."
The word miscreant formerly slg-
nitasd only an unbelievsr, an inndsl.
Joan Of Arc, In tho literature Of hez
time was called . miscrsant.

The most interesting case that has
been tried during the present term
Of the jackson county circuit court
was the damage suit brought by
Emery b. Bruce against Augustus
Bombeck for $4,000 personal dam
ages. 1t is one of spec al interest to
married men, inasmuch as it shows q
husbands liability for his wifes ac-
tions. On October /, 1889, Emery
B. Bruce was seated in a buggy on
the southwest boulevard, waiting for
a friend, when Mrs. Mary Bombeck
drove down the street. She was in
a light buggy, and was driving one
Of her husbands speedy trotting
horses. The animal became unman-
ageable as it neared Bruce's vehicle,
and finally turned and dashed into
1t. Bruce's buggy was badly torn
up, and his nose was broken. He
brought suit for damages in the sum
Of 5000. 1t has for years been the
law that husband is responsible for
his wife's actions as regards slander-
GUS speech, and taking it for granted
that Q man was responsible Tor the
other actions of his better haf,
Bruce directed his suit against Mrs.
Bombeck's husband. 1t 80 hap
pened, however, that Mr.. Bombeck
was In New York at the time Of the
accident occurred, and, as the Mis-
souri supreme court has decided In
the Atty eighth Missouri reports,
that man was responsible for his
wife's actions only when he was
present, the case was thrown out OF
court by Judge Slower. The su-
| preme court had stated, in giving
| the decision, that when I man and
his wife were together, any ill-ad
vised acts committed by the wife are
supposed to be at the dictation ol
the husband but In this case the
husband was away the woman
was a free agent, and she alone
could be held responsible. But in q
later case of similar nature, the
supreme court has reversed the
fifty eight, and a husband now
stands respons bic for all his wife'i
mistakes, whether he be with her Oh
in another cou try. When this rul,
ing was made, the suit brought by
Bruce again Bombe k was re
opened The trial lasted three days
and resulted in a verdict for 1,50l
damages.
