anxiety and regard for Mr.. Kipling
naturally suggests some earlier in
stances in which the two nations have
been as one in their personal glorifica-
ton of some author. The most emf
aent cases are those of Dickens and
Washington Irving. Dickens became as
swiftly a popular idol in America as in
England. and even on his first visit
here in 1912, when he was but so years
old and had as yet brought out but
four books, he was followed and feted
and fondled beyond all bounds. When
he came a second time, TWENTY-FIVE
years later. he was the center of per-
fectly mad crush from the moment he
arrived until the moment he departed.
Irving, of course, was never the object
of public ovations like these; but when
he went to England after the publica-
ton of "Diedrich knickerbocker" all
doors opened eagerly to him; he became
very much of a social lion and to the
large royalties which his writings soon
began to bring him England contrib

uted an extraordinarily large share. For
example. Murray paid him S2.400 for the
Sketch Book" s.. $50 for "Bracebridge
Hail. and $7,8T5 for Tales of a Trav-
eler. Even in these days, when
everything is on a much larger scale
and money has lower value, these
sums would be notable as paid by. an
English publisher to an American
author.
But there is an earlier and much
more curious instance than either of
these OF an English writing author
finding immense favor in both coun-
tries. 1t is related that when Daniel
Webster returned from his visit to
England in 1S29-when, by the way, he
proved a. pretty success, and, in a way,
literary, lion himself-he asked a friend
what, two Americans he supposed he
(Mr. Webster) had heard more fire.
quently named and found more gener-
ally admired than any or all others.
The friend answered, Washington and
Chief Justice Marshall.
Mr. Webster said: "Oh, mean among
the living" and then he answered his
question himself, saying: Judge Story.
and Peter Farley" Every lawyer in
England. he added, and people quite
generally among the educated and we'll
informed knew of and honored Judge
Story; but Peter Farley had a hold on
all the young hearts in England. When
ever he went into an English family
and the children were brought in and
presented to him as Mr.. Webster, an
American gentleman, they were sure to
approach him, and, with the greatest
of interest expressed in their young
faces. ask: DO you know Peter Par
ley?"
l wonder who knows Peter Farley
new? Only the more curious can be
aware that Samuel Griswold Goodrich
put out under this name a long list
(nearly 200) of juvenile books, that had
a fabulous sale, first in this country.
and then in Europe. The first, Tales of
Peter Farley about America" appeared
two years before Mr.. Webster's visit to
England. Others had followed in quick
succession, and Webster undoubtedly
encountered the tide just at its flood.
The name became so good commercially
that other publishers appropriated it;
and before it finally lost it's enchant-
ment it must have appeared on about
300 separate publications. Thus Peter
Farley conformed to the present prac-
tice, and finding himself the most popu-

Montana, with population less than
that of moderate sized city, and its
mountains and isolated valleys and its
mines and stock farms. is not exactly
the locality we should look to for new
recruits to the ranks of artists. But
it has supplied one of undeniable gifts
in Miss Fanny Young Cory. Miss Cory's
work has appeared lately in several of
the well known magazines, and she had
a connection, through its short life,
with the lively Bee. She has now de-
signed the cover and made the illustra-
tions for Charles Battell LOOMS forth
coming book of humorous verse; Just
Rhymes From an advance" view of
the Loomis book that L was accorded
the other day, l should say that it must
add very signally to Miss Cory's repu-
tation and prosperity. The cover has, to
begin with, originality-aS rare a vir-
tue in cover designs almost as in comic
operas,-and it secures the commercial
consideration of "fetchingnesS" without
the sacrifice of appositeness and SYM
pathy. Much the same may be said of
the illustrations. Pretty good proof, in
deed, that Miss Cory has done this
work in something out of the ordinary
way is had in the fact that it has the
enthusiastic approval of the author.
When an author is really hearty in his
endorsement of what the illustrator has
done for him, it is an instance to make
a special record of. Miss Cory is still
not much past 20. She is not of Mon
tana any longer. One can be born an
artist there: but to live there as an
artist would certainly put the resources
of the country to their last test. Miss
Cory's present home is at. Avondale. N.
J., an hours travel from this city. Her
artistic impulse is a family gift. Camp
bell Cory. the well known cartoonist on
the New York World, is her brother.
One would think that novel espec-
tally strong in local description and

anywhere would find them most surely

that this is not necessarily so; and L in
cline to believe from other instances L
have known OF, that the rule even is
the other way, aud that novels, like
prophets, are least honored in their own

have in mind-I have to refrain for spe-
cial reasons from naming the book-all
the reviews have been of a kind to pro-

that it shows a remarkably strong

Literary work, like all other. runs
these days very much into specialties.
If you want an article or book on a
certain subject, yog resort to a certain
man. He will construct it for you very
much as if it was a steam engine or a
yacht. Among the literary specialists
there is none who occupies a more def
mite place and occupies it more eXclu-
sively than Mr.. Charles Henry Hart.
Almost any month you will find Mr..
Harris name among the contributors of
one or another of the leading maya
zines, and almost invariably it will be
signed to a paper that has to do with
some subject of art in connection with
American history Mr. Hart was edu-
Gated to the law, but he resigned it
some years ago, and has ever since de-
voted himself to his special interest
pictures, medals, books and whatever
is curious in relation, particularly, to
American history. If you want to know
anything about he'portraits of the sew
eral fathers or saviOrs of your country,
he, before all others, is the man to ap-
ply to. If you want to determine the
genuineneSs. or ascertain the where
aboutS of any of the works of the early
american painters, again MI. hart Is
your only mana To me there is some
thing peculiarly attractive in this kind
of an interest. 1t is adopted, in the first
place, SO exclusively from natural pref
erence; and whatever commercial con-
siderations the pursuit of it may ulti-
mately acquire, it remains to the end
so re-eminently a fondness, an enthu-
siasm, that ordinary vocations have no
picturesqueneSS in comparison. Mr..
Hart is man of his class. When he
comes upon you with some newlyac-
quired rarity, he glows with ali ardor
that you cannot at all keep up with
unless you chance to be yourself some
what in his line; but at worst, you will
allow that it is fine to find a man of
middle age so gloriously interested in
anything.
Mr.. Harris speciality is, in a way, a
birthright; he was born under the
shadow of independence hall, and he
has passed his whole life there. He is
often in New York; indeed, he is in any
part of the country where the pictures
and medals and old books he is al
ways in search of are to be found; but
