AMERICAS MODEST HISTORIAN
DR.. McMaster Worked For Six Years
Unknown To All

How McMaster. the great American
historian of today, was discovered is
related by the Saturday Evening Post
as follows:
DR.. John Bach McMaster began his
great work, "a History of the People
Of the United States" while he was an
/ instructor in civil engineering at
Princeton. Prior to his going there,
/ in. 1887, ne had made his living with
chain and theoaolite, and was credita-
bly, known for his skill in his profess
sion While at Princeton not even mis-
most intimate friends knew that he
was at work on the history that sub
seQuently made him famous. His bro
ther, with whom he boarded, noted his
studiOus habits, but imagined that he
was pouring over problems in math-
ematcs. This continued for six years,
all of DR.. McMaster's spare hours be-
ing spent quietly among his books.
UnannOunced to his family or his
friends he published his first volume
in 1888. The newspapers lengthily re-
viewed the work, recognizing that
America had produced a new historian.
One day his brother came in excited
" and said: John, a man who has
die name, has published a history of
the United States, and the papers are
making a great fuss over it. L think
you ought TO look him up If he's a
relative We should know him, and if
he's using your name as a pseUdOnym
ne ought to be enjoined."
The historian smiled knowingly.
you don't mean to say, john
I hadn't intended saying much
about it, but since you've cOrneTed me
1 suppose 1 may as we'll confess it"
There was much rejoicing that day
in the house of AIcMaster, much to the
embarrassment Of the historian.
A guest of DR.. McMaster recently
rebuked him amiably for his excessive
mOdesty. I have cause to be very
humble" he replied, and he related the
following incident:
AS president Of the Contemporary
club OF Philadelphia he invited Mr.
ZangwiIl, when that distinguished nov
elist was in America, to address the
society. During the social hour at the
close Of the lecture Mr. Zangwill asked
DR.. McMaster what positions he held
in America. The historian replied that
he had the honor to be a professor in
the University of Pennsylvania. A
member of the club ventured to add
that the professor was an author as
we'll
All" exclaimed Mr.. Zangwi1; 'and
what books have you written?"
The remainder of the story. which
DR.. McMaSter Enthusiastically re-
Trained from telling was supplied by
another guest. It seems that one Of
the members Of the Contemporary
club. piqued by the novelists ignor-
ance Of one of the foremost men Of
letters in America, explained that Nc
Master was a household name in this
countrv and that his histories were
studied in thousands of our schools.
Il imagined" renlied Mr. ZangwiH
contritely, that I was up-tO-date on
American affairs, but from what you
tell me I don't believe could success
fully pass an examination for entrance
into one of your night schools"

is certainly a most generous offer. and
the following, taken from DR.. Knapp
daily mail. shows what men think Of his
generosity:
Dear DR.. kuapp-The results could
not have been better. I noticed a warm
feeling. as of returning life. an exquisite
experience Of renewed power, the first
day I used your treatment, and I cannot
withhold an expression of gratitude to
you for having thus led me to the way
of restoration. strength and vigOr. Ev-
erythtng looks brighter; life offers more
than I ever supposed il would, and
nothing can be of more service to "a weak
ened man than your priceless receipt"

EFFORTS OF GOVERNMENT.
Directed Wholly Toward Securing
Miss Stones Release.

Washington, Nov. 1.-Some surprise
is expressed here at the extent to
which the question of indemnity in
Miss Stones case is being discussed in
inc European papers. The United
states government SO far, has direct
ed its efforts solely to the procurement
OF Miss stones release, and there is
good reason for the statement that all
other questions connected with the
case, including that of d possible claim
Tor indemnity, have been regarded a
secondary and laid aside for future
discussion.
This is almost necessarily the case,
owing to the fact that in its present
light the state department cannot place
the responsibility for Miss Stones cap
tUre and detention; further evidence
must he had on that point.
