The Literature of Failure.

Clara z. Laughlin, in the Book Buyer.
1t must have puzzled many reader. these
latter times, to know whether the literature
of failure should be ascribed 10 the exac-
lions of art, or to the cCwardice of artists,
or to a consensus Of artistic disbelief in
success, especially of the altruistic sort The
old-fashioned hero used to succeed; the
new-fashioned hero is addicted to dying pa
thetically, amid the ruins of his hopes. The
latter-day man puts up AS good a fight
against his own or a common enemy, be 1t
sin or want or society, as the earlier man
put up against parental opposition or the
foes of the king: but we knew, Of the old
man, that, no matter how seemingly hope
less his valorous fight, he would win in the
last chapter, while of the modern man we
know that he will almost inevitably fail in
the last chapter, or before. He may be OF
the type of Theron Ware and Robert Els

fading into nothingness in the unequal
fight; or of the type of Emanuel Bayard or
John Storm, graphing with the sin OF the
underworld, and going down in the strug,

the other in cowardly surrender. but both

be of the type of Michael Akershem, war

and love and labor. and losing all three COW
eted privileges because of his own unfitness
quite as much as because society is hard
on nameless descendants. But whatever the
type he represents, our modern hero is sell

dency toward failure, a subject for COM
meat. NUw, the modern hero wages moral

prevalent belief among fictionists that the
proportion of persons who achieve disuncI

His father is an employee of the
Air Line railroad. Wise was COM
mended by Admiral Dewey in per-

friends are naturally proud of him.
He has served a term of enlistment
in the army. Capt. Joseph Dorst,
who was brought home from Aus
tria, where he was the attache OF
the legation, to act as one of Secre-
tary Longs advisers, has also won
commentator from his superior
officers. He it was who command
ed the first troops landed in Cuba
Capt. Dorst was born and reared in
New Albany, and was appointed 70

that city is a street and also a resi-
dence site, both Of which were
named after Judge Charles Dewey,
