BOOKS AND WRITER'S,
The Varied Career Of Cyrus Townsend
Brady.
Facts About Book-Makins Mary Mannering
in Janice Meredith.

Rev. Cyrus Townsend Brady, whose
stirring romance, THE Grip of Honor"
is one of the books of the day, has had
an uncommonly varied career for a
man in settled orders. Born in Al
leghany City in 1861, at the age of nine
he was taken to Kansas by his family,
and in that sparsely populated state he
spent his youth and received his early
education. At seventeen he received an
appointment to the Naval Academy at
Annapolis. where he absorbed Amer
lean history and acquired that love of
the sea and sea fights which has been
the inspiration of his novels. Circum-
stances, however, kept Mr.. Brady from
following the sea, and when good op-
portunity in railroad enterprise offered
he accepted, and for the next two
years the work of road construction
took him through the toughest parts of
the West and Northwest. At this time
by a sudden turn of fate, he became
strongly drawn toward the ministerial
profession, determined to take orders.
carried out his plan. and was ordained
in the Episcopal church. The next sin
years was spent in missionary work in
the Western states, and his labors were
so untiring and the results so far
reaching in their benefits, that Mr.
Brady was made archdeacon of Kan
sas, a post which he held for a period
of over three years: then he was called
East to Philadelphia. 1t is noteworthy
that although circumstances have com
bined to keep Mr.. Brady from a lit
erary career until later period than
the majority of successful writer's, he
is but returning to an early ambition.

scripts on which publishers refused to

THE property Of an author in the
product Of his mental labor ought to be
as absolute and unlimited as the prod
uct of his physical labor" so saws Mr..
Charles Dudley Warner. 1T seems to
me-" he declares, idle to say that the
two kinds of labor products are so dis
similar that the ownership cannot be
protected by like laws. In this age of
enlightenment such a proposition is alb
surd. The history Of copyright law
seems to show that the treatment of
property in brain product has been
based on this erroneous idea. 1t is
manifest to all honest minds that if an
author is entitled to own his work for
a term Of years. it is equally the duty
of his government to make that own
ership perpetual. He can own and pro-
tect and leave to his children and his
children's children by will the manu-
script paper on which he has written
and he should have equal right to leave
to them that mental product which
constitutes the true money value of his
labor"
