Literary Notes

Paul Leicester Ford's new historical
romance, Janice Meredith" published
less than two months ago by Dodd,
Mead & Co., is now selling in its 123d
thousand. For last week its average
sales a day were $500 copies. Other nov
els have of course reached this stage.
and even surpassed it in the long run,
but we believe that the first two months
of Janice Meridith's" existence quite
go ahead of the record of the first two
months of any other piece of fiction.
And wren it is considered that Mr..
Fords hook first ran as a serial in two
periodicals that appeal to widely diff
ferent classes of the reading public, the
result is the more astonishing.

in Worcester, he would do differently.
The matter seems to be in an un-
settled state, and the department shows
as many men anxious for change as
1t does for men who are in favor of
keeping Chief brennan in office.
Mayor Rufus B. Dodge, Jr., who is
the master of the situation, does not

comes he will announce his choice
as he has done in former years. 1t has
been rumored and according to the
persons giving QUIT rumors on pref
ty strong authority, that Mayor Dodge
said he would not reappoint Chief Dren-
nan, but Mayor Dodge, in an interview
with The Spy man, did not say so, and
did not see why the question should be
brought up at the present time.
According to the city charter, inaug

in January, and this year it will come

1t is generally expected that Mayor

he gets around to it, but to date there
is nothing settled about it. In case

A recent number of the Art Inter
change New York; prints an appreci-
alive notice on the life and work of
Walter Appleton Clark, formerly of this
city. Mr.. Clark was for some time a
student at the w. P. 1. and he always
manifested the keenest interest in
drawing. 1t was his custom to frequent
public gatherings for the purpose Of
sketching types.
For a number of years a very unique
poster of his hung over the big news
counter at Eastons 1t now hangs in
the window at the Pleasant street en-
trance. 1t shows a group of men,
women and boys standing before Eas-
toms counter examining papers and
magazines, while in front of them are
likenesses of Peter" and Eddie" The
whole thing was done in silhouette and
suggestive lines.
Walter Appleton Clark, save the
writer, is one of those favored mortals
that has had greatness thrust upon him.
He was born in Worcester, Mass, and
came to New York five years ago. The
extent of his novitiate at the shrine Of
art was short-lved two years at the
league under Mowbray and one with
Chase; then a picture of his at one of
the exhibitions so strongly commended
itself to the art editor of Scribner's that
he sent for the young illustratorand for
the past two years he has been living
up to his reputation, and incidentally
teaching two days in the week. His first
work, and, by the way, his trial work
for the Scribner's, was story by Rud-
ward Kipling Then came the commits
sion for the Smith College sketches,
quickly followed by that for the Marine
park system of Boston. He furnished
the illustrations for Stanley Weyman' s
castle Inn published by Longmans,
Green & Co., and those delicious inter-
pretations of child character for Ken
meth Grahame's Saga of the Seas. Z"

pealing of child life has appeared in

More Damage Suits.

1t is reported that Chris Jensen, a
well known citizen of Kenosha, will in
the near future bring a number of
suits against several well known men
of the city, on a charge of SANDER.
Last April Jensen was taken before
the County Judge to be examined as to
his sanity, and after an examination
by Drs. Pugh and Saunders, he was
declared not insane. The men who
signed the petition were M. F. Barber,
Chris Peterson and H. B. G1asgo.
This morning Jensen appeared at
the office of the County Judge and
asked for certified copies of the petit
ton presented by the men, and stated
that he intended to bring suit against
them for SANDER. Jensen has en-
p1oyed Racine attorney, and went to
that city today to have the complaints
for the suits prepared.

FIRST OF A SERIES.
Pleasant Dancing Party Given Last Even
ing at the K. of P Hall.

Kenosha society circles promise to
be exceedingly gay during the next
few months and the members of the
Uniform Rank K. of P. will have a
great deal to do with the gayety. Last
evening about hundred of the mem
bers of the Rank and their lady friends
met at Castle Hall and organized a
dancing club. The plan of the club is
to give dance on each Thursday be-
tween now and the holidays. No at
tempt will be made to make the parties
great social events, but each one will
be made very jolly social time and a
great deal of pleasure is in store for
the ladies and gentlemen who are
members of the club. The member
ship of the organization will not be
limited to the members of the Uniform
Rank, but all their friends will be
given the opportunity to join the club.
Following the work of organization a
social party was held last evening at
the hall. A hundred couples were in
attendance and all enjoyed a very
pleasant evening. Dancing and other
social pleasures were the features of
the evening. The music was fur
nished by the Compton orchestra.

WIN. ANDERSON SENTENCED.
Must Spend Four Years in the State Re-
formatory at Green Bay.

The closing act of the fall term of
the Circuit Court was enacted this
morning when William Anderson, who
was recently convicted by jury of
assault with intent to commit rape on
the person of twelve year old girl
named Marie Schie1ie, was called up
for sentence. The trial of Anderson
was the first on the calendar, but as
his attorney had made a motion for
new trial, sentence was withheld until
after the motion had been heard.
This morning the matter was taken
up and L. G.. Bohmrich, the attorney
for the defendant, stated that he would
Withdraw his motion for a new trial.
The attorney made a strong plea Tor
1eniency for Anderson on the grounds
that the crime, if such it was, had been
committed under very extenuating cir
cumstances. The attorney also showed
that the defendant had formerly borne
a good reputation and that this was
the first offense with which he had
been charged. After the plea of the
attorney Anderson stood up and adj
dressed the court. He declared that he
was innocent of the crime of which he
was charged and asked the judge to
give as small sentence as possible.
The Judge then sentenced the man
to spend four years in the State Re
formatory at Green Bay. The sem
tence is considered very light, con-
sidering the crime of which the defend
ant was charged. With good conduct
he may be free again in less than a
year
