New EnglanderS be Thankful.

New Englanders have at all times reason
to be thankful that their lot is cast where
it is, and particularly should they be thank
full when reading of the death and destruc-
tion wrought by tornadoes in the middle
western states. The latest horror was at
New Richmond, Wis. This was village
of 2000 people and it was razed to the
ground. The loss of life is estimated at
over 200. A dispatch says: The storm
struck the town full in the center. The
largest brick blocks crumbled like egg
shells. Houses were carried for blocks.
Five hundred buildings, the finest in the
town, were demolished. The only struc-
lures of note standing are the Catholic and
Baptist churches. Not a residence was
left untouched.
In a nearby town there was a cloud
burst and five inches Of water fell. The
river rose SO rapidly that 400 people in the
lower portion were driven from their homes,
with hundreds of heads of live stock
drowned. Every bridge in the valley was
was washed away.

naturalist as we'll. But above all 1t WAS
his object to improve the condition OF his
countrymen and secure from the govern
ment the just rights of the people, He was
consequently one OF the leading figures in
the revolution of 1S4S and 1t was he who
proclaimed to the populace the Twelve
Articles of Pest" which demanded emanci-
patton OF slavery, abrogation OF the prlvi-
leges OF the nobility, a common participa-
tion in the public taxes, liberty of the press
equality before the law, a responsible
government, and a representative diet.
Jokai played an important part throughout
the revolution, both as soldier and poli
tician, and his cause prevailed. In a short
time, however, the reaction came and Jokai
with several other leaders was condemned
to death. He made his escape and remained
In hiding for year. Meanwhile his wife
who was the leading actress OF Hungary.
secured his release.
The remainder OF his life, so far, has per-
haps been less eventful, but none the less
active. Volume after volume has coma
from his pen at a most astonishing rate
and besides that he was at different times
the editor OF several newspapers. He
founded the first humorous Hungarian paper
and for some time was obliged to furnish
the reading matter as we'll as the carl

the idea OF Hungarians having a national

changes OF style. His suggestion met with
approval and for period of years was put

OMAHA ILLUSTRATED BEE.

Among the worlds literary celebrities few
names are better known than that of Maurus
Jokai, though his fame has been confined
mostly to the continent of Europe. III Is
only within recent years that his name has
become familiar in America and people OF
literary inclnations are just beginning to
appreciate the works from the pen OF the
gifted Hungarian. Only few days ago Cne
OF his most entertaining novels, Pretty
Mchal" from the press of l.. G. Page Il Co.
of Boston, was reviewed in the columns of
The Bee and it is understood that other
works are to be given to the English read
ing public in the near future. The readers
Of Pretty Michal' will be greatly inter-
ested in knowing something of the personal
appearance Of the writer and for that reason
his portrait is given in this issue, showing
the author, dressed in a fur trimmed pelisse,
the national costume of Hungary.
Maurus Jokai was born in 1926 and while
still small boy was sent to live with
German family, it being the custom of the
country for Hungarian and German families
to exchange their children, boy for boy
and girl for a girl, for a period of years
in order that they might become familiar
with both languages. Jokai, consequently,
was sent to Presburg where he learned
German and later on took up the study of
French and English, which made 1t possible
for him to read the best literature of the
day. "Ivanhoe" was his first English novel,
which was followed up with Cooper and
Dickens, and of the French writers Victor
Hugo was his favorite At the age Of 9 he
began to write poems, two of which were
printed in newspaper.
AS in other countries the pursuit Of letters
was not considered a profession and con-
sequently Jokai rather reluctantly took up
the study Of law at the College Of KEGS
kemet. While a student there he studied
king Lear" and Richard Ill" which, to
use his own language, rendered him
definitely moon-e'ruck with the vast heights
Of literature. With the aid of the actor,
Petrfi, he made a translation Of king
Lear" which was presented the stage
and met with great success. Flushed with
success Jokai, while only boy of II, under
took the task of writing tragedy entitled
'The Infant Jew" which showed signs of
considerable talent. His ,xt effort was in
the field of romance and at the age Of 10
he produced "The Days Of the Week" From
this time on he gave up the study of law,
for he had demonstrated the fact that liter
ature could be made profession. He was,
however thorough scholar, for not only
was he student Of law and a linguist OF
considerable ability, but an astronomer and
