Mrs. CrniEIe, an American Writes,
Has Become the Fashion in
England's Metropolis.

An American girl is the rage in Lon"
don; not Edna May in the BELL of New
York." but "John Oliver Hobbies" Mrs.
Craigie, author of the successful play,
1.-The Ambassador" and the writer of
many other dramas.
Mrs. Craigie began playwriting
some years ago and won success
from the start. The last two years she
has devoted herself to it entirely, and
has now reached that delightful stage
of a writer's career when everything
she writes is engaged before it leaves
her pen.
Thirty-two years ago there played in
Boston little girl, Pearl Mary Theresa
Richards, a tall progressive little girl,
who could be very serious at the slight
est appeal to her imagination. Her
pastimes were dolls and stage, also n
whole lot of writing materials.
AS the girl grew up she was taken
abroad for education, and on one of her
visits she married Reginald Walpole
Craigie. She was then only 10 years
old; and in the next four years she suf-
fered much unhappiness, out of which
grew the flower of genius.
Mrs. Craigie, at "a, secured divorce
and the custody of her boy; and with
the child went TO live with her father,
DIR. Richards, editor of the Athenaeum,
who resides in a splendid mansion in
Lancaster Gate, near Hyde Park, Lon
don.
One day Mrs. Craigie sat down to
think. She had written little and had
an audience who admired her under the
name of John Oliver Hobbies. Why not
go on writing! SIZE came of literary
stock. Her great-grandfather was the
founder of Auburn Theological scmina-
ry, her grandfather was the noted New
York clergyman; her father a we'll

Troubles.

I've followed Gen. Merritt in the
Philippines, and I've followed him in
this country" said a grizzled little man
at the Northwestern depot the other
day; land, l tell you, the boys in the
Luzon country haven't the hard propo-
sition to tackle that the American In
dian presents. The Utes are worse
than the Filipinos, fifty to one"
The speaker was Sergt. William Bar
ry, an old soldier He first enlisted in
August, 1869, and was sent to the from
tier. He was fairly educated, made a
good appearance, and behaved himself,
and soon became anoncommissioned Of
fcer.
II was duty sergeant In Texas and
orderly sergeant in Colorado, and COM
manding officers orderly in the Ute
country. Since then l have been at
tached to headquarters about all the
time. Do you remember the White
river uprising in 1879? That outbreak
came September 20, 1879. The Utes
attacked the agency and killed Agent
n. .. Meeker and all the people he
had about the place. Then they looted
the store and vamoosed.
Gen. Merritt knew things were get
ting ugly at White river, and he sent
Maj. Thornburg with a relief detach-
ment. Ehe Utes waylaid Thornburg
and killed him and most of his men.
The rest of us got across the hill, and
threw up breastworks in the valley.
We lay in those trenches, with In
dians above us on the bluffs in every
direction, till dark on the following
Sunday, October .. We had rations and
water for two days, and when we saw
we were hcmmed in we just put our
selves on short allowance. We had
plenty of ammunition-and we used it.
There were IT of us, and we certainly
killed off some Indians; but they hung
right there and peppered away at us
till Capt. Dodge and 40 negro soldiers
cut their way in and relieved us.
Even when the darllies fell on their
rear those red devils clung to the bluffs,
and fought savagely. They wanted
our scalps. 1t was all our two parties
could do to stand them off till October
5, when Gen. Merritt reached us. He
marched 40 miles in so hours. That's
the sort of a soldier he is.
But. say, if so Americans were to get

plaos-I don't care how many-they'd
take bamboo clubs and run the whole
tribe into Laguna de Bay"
Sergt. Barry will have completed 80
years service in the army within the
next two months. He will then be dis
charged, but will draw half pay for
life. He says he will buy market
garden near some big city, and try
TO make living outside the uniform.

THE afternoon sun sinking to rest

brilliant and departing rays upon a
solitary farmhouse in the Berkshire
hills, then the bright gIows faded away;
the sun disappeared behind the noun
tain, and il was Il soft, beautiful twi-

been unusually early. All the air was
filled with the fragrance of May flow

were laden with pink and white bios

in absolute contentment. 1t was a

try air. 1t was Il pleasure to live on this
glorious evening, even If ones horizon
was narrowed to the limits of farm
among the hills.
Two women come out of the farm
house and sit down upon the porch in
the twilight. They arc mother and

thoughtful look in her face, which is

her. The mother sits in II large arm
chair and her daughter on the steps at
her feet. AS the mother tenderly
strokes the abundant tresses upon her
fair young daughters head she ques-
tions her very earnestly.
All around the farmhouse there is
peace and quiet, the silence broken
only by the mothers sweet, calm voice
as she addresses her daughter thus: so

dear, for | have known all along how
John loved you, though have been wor-

good heart and honest nature. l was
afraid you would hesitate, dear, before
you gave him your answer, because he
is only farmer lad; but John would be
loyal and true to his wife; besides he is
thrifty, Industrious young man. All,
yes: | will admit Johns not stylish, or
what some would call refined, but it is
character, dear, one must look at, and
all the neigh borhood knows Johns good
principles. Yes, dear, we know all about
that young man from the city, and am
not denying but what he has been kind
and polite to you; but John loves you,

''You don't like the idea of farming?
Why, your fathers a farmer, child!
Was it not only this morning that you
were telling me how dearly you loved
your father and what a grand good man
he was? You think that fathers occu-
patton is different from husbands?
My dear little girl, one must be wise in
do not make fine BIRDS and though
John is rather plain in his looks he
would always be proud of his wife. You
say you are not sure that you love him
and that you may love that city young
man?
well, dear, will have to tell you the
story of my own love affair, story you
have never known. l should not tell it
to you now, but it may help you to de-
eide about John. AS you know, 1 was
born down in the village, and was con-
sidered the village belle. My father was
a graduate from Williams college, al
though he was poor and farmer, so
had better advantages in the way of
education than most country girls, and
was deemed quite accomplished. When
| was about your age I, too, had lover
he was something like your John. He
was rough in his ways, farmer, and
often his hands were Soiled with honest
work, which did not please my girlish
fancy then; but 1 lived to learn that it
was better to have soiled hands than to
have a soiled soul.
But at 18 l felt as you do now,
and knew that my lover was rather plain
and oldfashioned in his ways. One win
ter, just before we were to have been
married, some city young men visited
our village and gave concerts and shows
in the schoolhouse. Much to our as
tonishment they remained in the vii
lage all winter, and one of them board
ed at our house. My mother was dead
then and father and 1 lived together
The city young man seemed to admire
me very much, and soon l was listening
to his fattering speeches and forget
ting my betrothed lover. My new ad'
mirer was making love 20 me, and VOW
ing that he adorcd me he asked me to be
his wife. He told me l was too beauti-
full to pass my life in dreary farm
house, and that the man had promised
to marry was only an ignorant country
farmcr-and l, foolish girl that was

Il began TO be ashamed of my lover
and of my engagement and to look with
great pride and admiration upon my
rw lovers soft white hands and his
Wish and expensive clothes. He was
handsome and apparently refined

MEDICINE DOES NOT PAY.
Few Practicing Physicians Acquire
Great Wealth from Their
Everyday LabOrs.

The large fortune left by Sir William
Jenner has led to much writing in the
lay press, but, owing to imperfect in
formation as to the source of some of
Sir William Jenner's wealth, much ex-
cellent moralizing has been made upon
unsound deductions. Sir William Jen-
ner was for many years at the top of
the medical profession, having risen
there by his genius and having been
maintained there by scientific acclama-
ton every whit as much as by popular
favor. During these years he undoubt-
edly made a very large income, but
not an income that would have enabled
him to save such sum as C 375, 900, and,
as matter of fact, a certain portion of
his fortune was derived from trade and
bequeathed to him by brother. But
undoubtedly Sir William Jenner earned
great sum of money by the practice
of his profession, and the fact may le-
ultimately act as a stimulus to young
medical men to observe keenly and
work hard.
That n few medical men have made
large fortunes is well known. For in
stance, Sir Andrew Clark left 203,970,
Sir Oscar Clayton left C e146,74o, DR..
Rhodes Armitage left G217, ,420, DIR. L.
T. Cumberbatch left 107, 900, Sir Rich
ard Quain left 116,S20, DIR. Henry
Uorsfall left 105,7S0 DR.. G. D. Long
staff left 107 900, DR.. Henry Danson
left G110,290 and DR.. j. II. Paul left
C 100,052. But all these fortunes, sew
eral of which We're certainly inherited,
and not made by professional practice,
are thrown into the shade by the es-
tate of Sir William Gull, whose person.
atty was valued at C 344,023. Sir Will
liam Gull, like Sir William Jenner,
made an enormous professional in
come, though fortunate investments,
perhaps, played the part in swelling
the total of his fortune that family be-
quests played in the case of Sir Will
liam Jenner. The above names have
been taken from lists compiled by the
Daily Telegraph and the Westminster
Gazette and cover a period extending
over the last ten years.
On the strength of them the medical
profession cannot be said to abound IN
pecuniary prizes. Only II persons,
whether shining in the front rank of
the medical profession or engaged in
oneofits notoriously lucrative branches
or blessed by accident with pecuniary
advantages, have died during ten years
in possession of more than 100000,
while first-class brewers fortune
would be expected to amount to more
than the aggregate total of the II med
ical fortunes or the brewer would be
accounted a comparative failure. We
are not setting up a wall that medical
men do not make more money, but the
fortune of Sir William Jenner or Sir
William Gull ought not to lead the pub
lie to mistake the facts as to the average
earnings of the medical profession.
The profession in Great Britain num-
bers some $4,000 persons, and, although
