to be due to fever contracted In Cuba.
Stephen Crane was born in Newark. y, j., on
clergyman. the Rev. DR.. J. T. Crane. lie
began his education in Newark. completing il
at Lafayette Collega and Syracuse University.
he was 10 years old. and after leaving college

MIR. Crane In 1897 to report the Grecn-Turkish

York papers. In the meantime he had pub
lished Georges Mother"i in 1890 and The
Little Regiment In 1897. neither Of which
attracted or deserved the attention given to
which he will be remembered.
II has been noted as a curious manifestation
OF genius that Mr.. Cranes imaginative story Of
a war that was over before he was born
should excel his descriptions OF the see mes Of
actual conflict which he witnessed, but It il a

unable to describe the fighting except In a most
perfunctory way. ITO tell you the truth there

1t was In no sense fright that prevented him

Siberian Post Horses.

The horses. the small, hardy breed of
the steppes, are worked up to the last
ounce In them, on good road or bad,
and when they reach the welcome post
house are tied up under a mere lean to
and there left all in lather to freeze
stiff until their turn of service comes
round again. For some reason which
l have never been able to ascertain
they are invariably tied up with their
heads drawn as high as they will go.
On taking them ont for another stage
the driver, whose whip has a sort OF
saw tooth arrangement affixed to the
end on the side of the stock opposite
the lash, roughly scrapes off with it
the boar frost which has thickly in
crusted their legs and, indeed, their
whole bodies.
At first the poor beasts walk with
the gait of a Dutch doll; but, as the
driver says. he soon warns them up
Another popularity of these marvellous
steeds is that they always get pail
full or more of ice cold water to drink
before starting out for their trick" on
the road, with the result that they
tremble all over in manner pitiaDle
