the highest interest. 1t represents a great deal
of the work done from June. 1916. to September,

period of Byron's maturity. Don Juan is

Once more the cry of the rejected is heard in
the land. An anonymous aspirant to literary
fame and fortune writes to THE Author ask
ing "Why is it that editors and publishers never
seem 10 realize that the MSS sent to them are
not their OWN? 1t isn't that they keep them.
The complainant would probably forgive them
anything if only they would retain his offerings.
But what they DO is to 'scrbble numbers,
sometimes in red or blue ink, on ones copy, and
often the marks cannot be effaced; and nearly
all publishers readers ''mutilate the MS. books

of course. if earlier reflections suggested by
''splashes of tea coffee all over it,, he is

fair, this poor authors complaint. a man

office of an editor publisher Considering
the vast number received in the course Of year
this is not surprising. A legitimate matter of
SURPRISE indeed is that many thousands of

SABBATH DISSERTATION.

Rev. a. L. Woodward filled the
pulpit in Trinity Methodist Church
on, ,last Sunday and preached a
strong sermon upon the subject of

raigned the modern liquor traffic

the present day as the two most pow

bath, and further showed that a
very large per cent. Of protesting
Christians do not keep the Sabbath
holy, but profane it by patronizing
Sunday excursions, and making it a
day of pleasure seeking, of feasting
and amusement. Those who heard
the sermon speak Of it as an able eff
fort, and eminently appropriate to
the times in which we live. He fur
ther demonstrated the fact that Sab
bath desecration was becoming a
national sin, threatening the exist

great shock.
MI. Lewis was a public spirited
man, congenial and affable on all Oc-
cassions and to all persons. He,
therefore, had many friends through.
out the country who deeply regret
his death.
