| The dreams OF one generat1O1

In beautiful little Central
Massachusetts town Chicopee
Falls--a son of Baptist cler.
gyman began dreaming dreams
prophetic of the future, and
some ten years ago he began
putting those dreams into writ
ing. The result electrified the
world in Looking Backward, :
and it woke the world because
it voiced the hitherto latent as
pirations of the people and the
slowly forming world thoughts.
No one was more surprised at
the widespread popularity of
"Looking Backward" than it's
gentle, retiring, sensitive,
prophet-author. He had been
known as the writer of ro-
mances and stories with GER
tain delicate. spiritual strength
which appealed only to linn
tied class of people, and he and
his publishers thought that this
child of his brain, though it
represented his then latest
thought and convictions, would
command but a small circle of
readers. But the prophets fire
had entered his soul and the
obscure author of "Mrs.. Lud-
ington's Sister," etc., became
known all over the world as the
writer of "Looking Backward"
and a seer into the FUTURE
This was both a revelation
and an inspiration to Edward
Bellamy, and he commenced
studying the situation in dead
earnest. He embodied these
thoughts in the weekly paper
he started in Boston-the New
Nation. From both a literary
and a propaganda point of view
this paper was a thorough sue
cess, but it's editor was not a
nineteenth century business
man, and after it had swal-
lowed up a good share of the
profits of "Looking Backward y
it was discontinued. But the
editing of it had trained Mr..
Bellamy in answering the OBJ
jections to socialism. had given
him a clearer insight into the
evils of the present system, and
had made keener his sense of
it's injustice and instability. 1t
was a needed preparation to the
work he has now brought out.
For the last three or four
years he has been living in re-
tirement at his home in Chico
pee Falls, assimilating, think
ing, writing. His friends have
known he had a book under
way, but they haven't known
what it was. It has been re-
written three or four times to
suit his fastidious literary
taste, and now it is out-pub-
lished by D. Appleton & Co., of
New York, entitled Equality"
The man, the preparation, the
training, the time have con-
spired to make a great book. 1t
is a book of power as distin-
guished from book of informa-
ton. It deals in thoughts and
notin facts, save as they sustain
the thought. tits not a collation.
of authorities, but an authority.
It is not an ephemeral tale to
be carelessly reak of summer
day and tossed aside, but a book
for future times to study as
we'll as this. It is not a dry-as-
dust political economy, but it
tells of the "dismal science" in
words that glow and burn, it
fascinates with the art of the
TRAINED novelist and litterateur
it transforms political econo,

Electricity and Balky Horses.

One Of the recent extensions Of the
use of electricity is in c~onquering u
balky or lazy horse. A western Penn
sylvania gentleman owned a horse
which he said was worth $1,000, pro-
vided he could cure him of baking. 1t
was suggested that he try electricity.
He purchased a three volt storage bat
terry and connected it by wires with the
bit and the cruppcr. The battery was
placed in the road cart to which the
horse was attached. At first the horse
refused to move, but stood with all four
feet braced. Then the owner touched
the button connected with the battery.
When the horse felt the shock, he snort
ed, jumped and began to move off at Il
lively pace. Every day for a week he
was given the same lesson. His owner.
who does not care to sell him, declares
that now he never balks. bites or kicks,

ciety. which Investigated the method,
came to the conclusion that n small
mount of electricity used upon n horse
was more humane than a whip.-Ex-

Blackburn of Kentucky, for Abraham
Lincoln played a conspicuous part in
helping the young Kcntuckian to win

Ex-senator Blackburn was only 20
