Industry and perseverance, IAN
infinite capacity for taking pains, :"
if they are not indeed genius itself,
as has paradoxically been said, form
at least the indispensable accompani-

declares that he writes his books
simply by keeping at work on them.
And the industry of Mr.. Rudyard
Kipling may be measured by the
fact that he is said to have wyitten

made considerable corrections on
the proofs. The late Professor Hulk
ley was another writer whose indus
try in perfecting his literary express
sion was only rivaled by his genius.
Strikingly contrasted with this me-
cessity or industry have been the
personal inolinations of some con-
spicuous writer's. Thackeray con-
fessed that his besetting sin was lazi-
ness. He could never write, he said,
till the printers devil was at his
door. The story again is told of
Dickens, how once in a stationer's
shop he was startled by hearing a
lady at the counter inquire whether
the next number of a certain novel,
then appearing in monthly parts,
were out yet. Little did the custom
er guess that the next part of the
story was not yet even in existence,

bow, in fact, stood there for the pur.
pose of buying the paper upon which
he intended to go home and write

Drove Bulls Four-in-hand.

Pomona, section of Germantown,
was once the homo of Colonel For
rest, who purchased the tract of land
from a family named Shoemaker
more than 81 century ago. Forrest
was u colonel in the Revolutionary
army and took part in the battle of
Germantown. He was always doing
something out of the usual custom,
according to the accounts given of
him by old residents of that suburb.
1t is said that he sometimes would
drive four-in-hand team of bulls
from Germantown to Philadelphia.
Forrest sold Pomona to James Du-
val, French merchant, about the
time of the war of 1912. Duval took
considerable pride in raising fruit
and ornamental trees of all kinds,
and Pomona was the attraction for
many distinguished people who
came to Philadelphia. -Philadelphia

The Powers have SO many times been
in regard to Turkey, without actually
reaching one, that there is good reason
for some skep tieism in regard to the lat
est report that England, France and
Russia have now arrived at definite I'M
Outstanding and ale ready to act. Never
theless this last report seems to be well
authenticated, and there is circumstan-
tiality of detail about it that, it would
seem, could hardly nave been invented.
The plan agreed upon does not contem-
plate the actual deposal of the Sultan,
provided he will yield to the demands Of
the three powers, but it makes him o
all intents and purposes their vassa !.
He is to continue tn be the nominal ruler,
but he is to rule according to formula
prepared by England, France and Rus
Ria. His promises of which he has ever
been profuse, are not to tie relied upon
this time, hut he is to be compelled to
give substantial guarantees of their full
fllment. If he refuses, then the Powers
will take matters into their own hands.
A refusal, however, is not probable, pro-
videi the Powers are in earnest. Tie
condition of vassalage which acouiesence
in the demand will reduce him to will
be disagreeablesto him no doubt, but far
less disagreeable than the alternative of
losing his throne altogether.

Some of The congressman are talking
iauntily about revising the tariff as ii it
we're a little affair which could all be
done up in month or two, and after
which everybody would be prosperous
and happy. Past experience has shown,
however, that revising the tariff whether
up or down is O very long and difficult
job; and furthermore that after the job
is done thers are good many aching
hearts and kicking legs. Moreover up to
the present time the party that has done
the revising, commissioned apparently
though il has heen by the people to
do what 1t has done, has never had
the pleasure OF listening to the pleasant
words, Well done. good and faithful
servant''-quite the opposite. Why then
any party should start in revising the
tariff with light heart is more than we
can see. History shows that it is
very solemn business, to be approached
with a great deal Of caution and de-
liberation. A season Of fasting and
prayer might well precede it.

A Rebellious Heroine, by John Ken
drick Bangs. Stuart Harley is writer
of the realistic school. He determined to
build story entirely true to life, of
which Miss Marguerite Andrews shall be
the heroine. The general plot is that
she shall be wooed by one man and won
by another. Miss Andrews rebels at the
very start and misses the steamship on
which the wooing was to have been be-
gun. Harvey then lays out another plan
by which another sutton is to pay his
court at Newport. Here the heroine
again refuses to mary man she does
not love, simply for the sake of furnish
ing chapters for Harley's realistic story,
and the tale ends by Harley's marrying
his rebellious heroine himself. The very
effective and charming illustrations are
by W. L. Smedley. NEW York: Harper
