 We read 50 much of the popularity of certain works of fiction that many of us are prone to believe that books of this class alone ever enjoy these tremendous sales. That other books do enjoy the same extended popularity is proven by the success of the works of Ralph Waldo Frine, whose Tn Tune With the Infinite" has reached its thirty-seventh thousand.

 There seem to be especial opportunities in literary circles at the present time for young men. At least we are led to this conclusion by the number of careers which are being run by young men at the present time. Successful careers too. Most of the best known young writ CTS are college bred men who have but recently graduated. Students who seem in almost every case of note to have been identified with the college paper.
 An unusually fine looking young man is Owen Johnson, whose first novel. Ar rows of the Almighty" is creating most favorable comment. MT. Johnson was a student of Yale and was chairman of the class of 1900. He contributed regularly to the "Yale Literary Magazine"
 MT. Harold Macgrath. whose Arms and the Woman is so well spoken of. is an- other fine young fellow who has just en- tered permanently the literary world. As he himself puts 1t when his first novel was soapromptly accepted: T knew that was committed to hard labor for life" MT. Macgrath is a successful young jour nalist and at present poet and humor ist' of the editorial page of the Syracuse Herald.
 MT. Melville Davisson Post is another newcomer in the literary world and his portrait shows him to be a manly young fellow. He is lawyer of Wheeling, w. Va, and is graduate of the University of West Virginia. In 1896 he published volume of. short stories called 'The Strange Scheme of Randolph Mason" This was followed by 'The Man of Last Resort" His latest book, Jewellers in the Hills,'' will soon be published and it has already received much praise.

RlgMt WaN to NeEp the Poor
BY JACOB A. RIIs.

Awhile ago I went to visit friend in a suburban town. He Is secretary Of one of the big mission societies and full of the cares and concernes of a thousand converted coolies beyond the far seas all day. That night as we sat at his table, he looked around at his flock of five healthy children and said: .I wish you could find for me in the city some poor family-if possible, a widow with children about the age of these-who would be ours to work and advise with and to help over the rough places when. they came along Then each of mine could have his own friend, and he would get more good out of it than he would give, I know. Here they are shut off, as you see, from that All the neighbors are well-to-do. I promised to try for I knew he was right. They were sadly handicapped. The best in them was being starved by the ultra-respectability of the place that came so high in the rent bills
 But it turned out that had among my widows none with i've children of as- sorted ages. Neither had the Charity Or ganization Society. But when went to the Association for Improving the Con- dition of the Poor. a long name for an amending task faithfully tended. I found just what I wanted. went over to the tenement on the East Side. to make her. acquaintance, and my sympathy was en- listed at once by the brave fight the lit- tie women was making to keep her flock together.

We kept an early Christmas eve together, and then I started for the office to telephone to my friend, who. knew, was late over his foreign mail, that I had found what he wanted.
 On the way 1t struck me that had for gotten to ask where my widow scrubbed. and I went back to find out. Once or twice in my life 1t has been given me to see, as 1t were. the veil rent asunder and the hand of the Almighty working in my sight. This was one of those times I shall not soon get over the thrill that went through me when I learned that she worked in the mission building, at my friends very door.

training and no doubt good preparation for the work in the contributions to col lege magazines. It Is also noticeable fact that whatever college education may do for boy in fitting him for life and there Is diversity of opinion on the subject-one thing seems clear and that Is that the college boy has special aptitude for journalistic work. Whether the training he has received which makes him broad minded and observant is the reason or not, 1t remains true that large number of college men drift imme- diately into journalism and win success full careers It is an easy step next into literature, and short stories, or poems or. diaries follow, and their life-work is fully mapped out.
 ''The Diary of a Harvard Freshman" by Charles Flandran, now running in the Saturday Evening Post Is splendid work of its kind It Is from the pen of new conner in literary fields and his work receives highest praise. MT Flandran Is a Harvard graduate who stepped from college to journalism and from there to literature in the sense of it's being a per manent occupation. PAUL FRY.
