father of his brilliant son, Rudyard.
Yet the talents of the elder man, while
of kind less likely to attract universal
attention. are much too great to allow
such state Of affairs to pass without
protest Now, through a happy COM
bination of the fathers work with that
of the son. the public is to have an APP
portunlty to become acquainted with
the former. and that under the most ia
vorable auspices which could be found.
Mr. kipling, ST., whose artistic ability
enabled him to fill for over a quarter
of a century several of the most i'm
portant art positions under the Govern
ment of India, has made all the illustra
tons for the new Outward Bound" edi-
ton of the works of Rudyard Kipling.
Two volumes of this edition have al
ready been issued by Charles Scribners
Sons, and the pictures which supple
ment the text are such as to make the
reader long impatiently to see the re-
naming books completed.
Rather a sculptor than a draughts-
man by profession, Mr. Kipling has fol-
lowed his natural inclination by mod
cling all these illustrations in clay and
then having the casts photographed for
reproduction. The effect produced is
wonderfully solid and lifelike. Father
and son consulted long and earnestly
together upon the choice of subjects; to
be depicted, and no one who has seen
the plates which have already been is
sued will be likely to criticise the Sc
lections. The true Kipling spirit is in
the pictures as well as in the text.

pulpit, well content with the effect his
eloquence had produced on the congre-

him that he had made no arrangement
for the collection (sure to be liberal
one on this occasion). AS he passed
through the chancel ne whispered hur-
rfedly to an intelligent choir boy, Go

A TRUST.
Fresno Republican: The farmers of
the United States are said to be organ
izing the biggest trust on earth,
through the operation of which it is
proposed to limit production next year
to the necessities of the producers.
Farmers have the same right to do this
sort of thing that other people have.
but there is very good reason for be-
heving that no one has a legal right
under the law to organize a trust of
any kind, and that the law is likely to
be enforced. II there is any one thing
more than another which would be call
culated to put the law against trusts
in active operation it would be the for
nation of combination by the farmers
to cut off the supply of food products.
If the movement is intended solely to
bring about the abolition of trusts it is
we'll designed to accomplish its pur-
pose; if it has no other purpose than
that which appears upon the surface it
is doomed to failure.
AND 1T is RIGHT.
Oakland Enquirer: In making coun-
try roads it has ordinarily been assum-
ed that they are made exclusively for
wagon travel. and that if pedestrians
wish to use them they must walk in
the roadway and stand aside when
teams come along. That it is as much
the duty of the community to make
paths for pedestrians as driveways for
horses has not hitherto been recognized,
but the late Legislature passed a law
which contemplates the making of side
paths on all roads in thickly-settled
districts. This law has already been
called to the attention of the Sacrament
to County Supervisors, and they have
promised to try to carry out its provis
ions. All paths established by the SUI
pervisors Will come under the provis-
ions of the new law, which prohibits
their use by wagons and livestock.
These have public roads for their use,
and the pathways are to be for pedes-
TRANS and riders of bicycles. Any per-
son caught trespassing on the path
ways will be prosecuted and punished.

way gradually to the notice Of con-
noisSeurS after their death. He was
true colorist, master of exquisite har-
monies, which he never failed to In
vest with an original character. His
favorite subjects were found among
the wild yet quiet scenery to the land
ward of the sand dunes along the
coasts of Lake Superior, Normandy
and Massachusetts, expanses of brown
and green grasses and low shrubs, with
here and there tree, and a glimpse of
the sea between the sand hills. In this
he was like the more noted French
landscapist Cain, who, however, is
much inferior to him as a colorist. But
he also painted many delightful bits of
river scenery in Old and New Eng
land. His water colors which are few
compared with his paintings in oils,
have much Of the beauty Of color of
these, but are in a yet more refined and
delicate key. Mr.. Martin was made an

The late Louisa May Alcotts great
hit was a chance one and a great sur
prise to her. She had been writing
many years for the weekly story pa
pers. Her work brought her money,
but no more repute in good literary
circles than others who write for the
weeklies gain. When Roberts Bros. of
Boston asked that she give them, and
at once, a story for young people, she
dashed off something, hit or miss, at
the speed of a reporter who writes
while the forms are waiting. With a
dictionary on her knee for a desk, she
scratched away from morning until
night, sometimes writing so steadily
that her fingers were so stiff she could
not bend them, and sarcely looking at
the pages for revision. In this way the
most successful Juvenile story ever
written was prepared for the pres. A
hit was the last thing Miss Alcott
dreamt of when she wrote Little Wo-
men," but it was a hit that made her
fame and her future.

General Horace Porter describes the

With Grant" i'll The Century The sur
render took place i'll the house of Will
mer Mclean, it will be remembered
General Porter says: 1t is singular
historical coincidence that Mclean S
former home was upon q Virginia farm
near the battle-ground of the first Bull
Run, and his house was used for a time
as the headquarters of General Beaure-
gard. When it was found that this fight
was so popular that it was given an en-
core and a second battle of Bull Run
was fought the next year on the same
ground. Mr. Mclean became convinced
that the place was altogether lacking in
repose, and. to avoid the active theater
of war, he removed to the quiet village
of Appomattox, only to find himself
again surrounded by contending armies.
Thus the first and last scenes of the war
drama i'll Virginia were enacted upon
his property
