party as whole. These gentlemen smoke
without authority from the Populist
party, and do not believe the party will
sustain them They had not conferred
with the party, and had been given no
commission to speak for it. Personally,
have high regard for Mr. Teller. but |

A NEW VIEW OF FAMOUS MEN
BY HENRY FORCE LEE.

AS matters have been going of late
it would seem as if the chief object
eminent men had in view in their
private and literary correspondence
has been to furnish material to min
imize the publics appreciation of
their own fame. Mr.. Mathew Arnold's
recently published letters are an in
stance in point. Mr.. Arnold was pre-
eminently the ablest literary critic of
his day in English letters, ranking
with SainteBeuve as a literary exposi-
tor, and unlike the great French critic
making for himself an honored place
in literature of the creative kind.
Mathew Arnold's poetry did not win
a wide audience, but it found eft au-
dience though few" as representative
of culture at least, even if not of gen.
ius. Mr.. Arnold, therefore, occupied
a dual position in the republic of let
ters, that of critic and creator; and
while of the former only criticism
might be expected, of the latter kind
ly judgment of his contemporaries
might be looked for, especially in ex-
pressions of private opinion. Yet
his letters are sadly wanting on the
genial and pleasant side, however
valuable they may be as expressive
of the critic poets real opinions.
Tennyson, for instance, to Mr.. Arnold
was not great poet, and Thackeray
not "a great writer" No one knew
better than Mathew Arnold that
greatness in poetry and fiction, in let
ters in general for that matter, is but
relative, and not an absolute, term.

Mr.. Edward Atkinson says the
kitchen must CO." AS substitute, for
even Mr.. Atkinson has not yet arrived
at the stage in which substitute, at
least for the kitchen, is undesirable, he
recommends his "Aladdin's Oven," with
its electric range, when there will be no
making of fires, but when heat is wanted
you merely press butten and the oven
does the rest. Mr.. Atkinson, probably as
an allurement to those who are still at.
tached to the old-fashioned kitchen,
AYERS that his oven will do away with
the drudgerY of making fires and Incl
dentally with "the servant girl question
also." These are certainly strong in
ducements, but we are afraid they will
hardly answer. There will still be need
of somebody to arrange articles for the
oven. and suppose the electric fluid goes
on a strike, how about dinner? Mr.. At.
kinson also seems positively to dislike
the kitchen, which to us is Incompetent
sible and reprehensible. A well-order-
ed kitchen about 10 A. NJ. of baking
day, when the flavor Of apple pies. crisp
doughnuts and the smell of fresh bread
abounds, is not by any means the disa-
greeable place Mr.. Atkinson seems to
think it is. Has he forgotten the turn.

that he thus gliblY talks Of doing away
with the old fashioned kitchen?

On the 4th of July 1887 the Chris
tian army suffered a crushing defeat
at Tiberias, in Palestine, by the Mos
lem army under the heroic Saladin,
Sultan of Egypt and Syria. The
Christian King was taken captive;
Jerusalem was stormed and taken
October 2, and all the country of
Palestine subjugated to Moslem
rule except a few strongholds over
which stillswaved the.banner of the
Crusades. Moved to dependency
by the emergency, the Christians
sent to Europe strong appeal for
help. 1t was two or three years be-
fore the sixth Crusade, ordered by
Pope Innocent I'll, and headed by
the Kings of England and France,
departed for the scene of conflict. 1t
was during this interval that the
movement began among the children
of France and Germany about which
l write. l must sconfine myself to
the facts, leaving it to thes imagina-
ton of the reader to fill out the pic
ture, only saying that nothing can be
imagined worse than the reality.
If you will look on the map of
France you will find a river Loir
which flows from the north toward
the south until it joins the Loire.
One of the important. towns on the
Loire, the larger of the two rivers, is
Orleans; few miles west of Orleans,
on the Loir is Cloyes. 1t is here that
our story begins.
Somewhere ..about-thesclose of the
twelfth century boy was born here
who is known in history as Stephen
of Cloyes. His father was shepherd,
and as soon as Stephen was old
enough to run after. the struggling
lambs he was made shepherd also.
Stephen had heard about the Cru
sades, and the effort which the Pope
was making to arouse the Christians
of Europe to go to the help of those
in Palestine, and his imagination be-
came greatly excited. His lonely life
under the wide sky, tending his
sheep, made him peculiarly suscepti-
BILE to outward suggestions. While
in this frame of mind there appeared
to him one day a stranger in the
garb of a pilgrim, and asked for
food. Stephen gave him food and
then began to question him about
the brave men who had fought and
died in battle against the Moslem in
the Holy Land, or who were still
living on in hope of succor from
Europe.
1t ended by the visitor, who was,
probably some wandering priest or
monk, announcing himself as Jesus,
the Christ. Finding that he had
made very strong impression upon
the boys feelings, he gave him letter
