A FICTION AS TO FICTION.

WRITTEN FoR THE SUNDAY REPUBLIC.
Yes" said the Browser-who by the
way. is a bit OF an optimist-.its true that
the appetite for caramels In this country is
somewhat greater than the hunger for solid
reading. and it may be that the sex which
chews the one is the same which eschews
the other. Nevertheless, I sometimes think
that you pessimistic people are making just
a little too much fuss about the quantities
OF fiction consumed by Americans. I Won
der II It's quite as bad as the critics make
1t out to be. To listen to some of them, you
would think the whole American nation sat
up late of nights reading novels.
Now, / don't blame the reviewers who
are bombarded with books of this sort for
believing that the modern mind has gone
daft on story telling. Almost any human
being who has to read a novel a day as a
Dmatter of business would come to the same
conclusion after two weeks Of such a diet.
How many men can you ind who are able
to eat a quail a day for thirty days? Yet a
novel a day. indefinitely. is a more trying
Feat, and I've often wondered how the book
reviewers kept their assimiiative processes
ana their sweet tempers intact.
Yes. I seriously question the inference

paper than I'm likely to get out OF the
average current novel with all its pretensa
to being something better than journalism.
speaking for others, I read not long
ago in the Herald hat in London there
were literally miles of novels piled on the
shelves of storage-roomS-a drug in the
market. If some of our junk dealers would
speak. and some of our publishers, too, it
would probably surprise you. There are
about 1V.oVoOO people in this country, and It
takes a good many books to go around.
"A few novels have immense sales. but by
Tar the greater number pay neither the pub
fishers nor the authors. Frank Norris
author OF The Octopus has opened a good
many eyes on that score. I notice. too
lately. that the librarians have discovered
tiiat while there is a tremendous demand
for certain novels. the applicants often re-
turn them unread in a few days.
Another thing. II you don't believe that
a good proportion of the public cares for
serious subjects, just look at the success
of the popular writer's on psychology alone.
For instance. there is Thomas jay Hudson

WRITTEN FOR THE SUNDAY REPUBLIC.
Touring in automobiles is the popular
method of foreign travel. Many Americans
who already have tried it have found il
the ideal manner in which to become ac-
quainted with q country and its people.
How else, they say, may a person travel
quickly and yet see all that through which
he passes at close range? How else may
he travel comfortably and at the same time
indulge his whims as To itinerary and
speed?
They point out numerous advantages pos
sessed by the automobile tourist over the
tourist by train. II the former oversleeps
himself of a morning he finds his express
awaiting his pleasure at the door of the inn,
and not rushing away over steel rails in the
distance. II he Is attracted by a village or
some ruins OF the beaten paths of travel
his schedule is instantly adjusted to suit
his convenience. He snaps his fingers at
time tables. yet wastes no time without
being hurried, and, so long as he conforms
to the laws OF the country he trayerses, Is
as Independent as II riding In his own
demesne.
Tho expense OF foreign travel by automo-
Ollie Is not 80 great as many persons may
suppose. Even by one who does not own a
motor carriage. 1t can be done at a cost
that considering its advantages. Is moder-
ate. These advantages are immeasurably
greater In Europe than they would be in
America, owing to the superiority of the
roads there and to the shorter distances to
be trayersed between points of interest.
Those who have tried It say 1t is possible
for two persons-a gentleman and his wife
or two gentlemen-and a chauffeur to tour
Great Britain. France. Germany. Austria
and Northern Italy at a total outlay not
exceeding SIS a day. This will include cost
of power for the motor and hotel and way

Just before Sergeant Campbell went to

and children.
After he arrived In South Africa with his
regiment, before the yeomanry went upon
the field to leave so many brave fellows
there, Sergeant Campbell procured some
more records and imprinted upon them the
sounds of his voice, in words OF love and
cheer to his dear ones in England.
These records he dispatched homeward by
the first outgoing steamer. and in due time
they reached B%ritain's shores.
1t was scarcely a week from the time that
the cable brought the news Of sorrow to
wife and children that a consignment OF
fresh records from husband and father
had reached them.
The words in them spoke Of his expert
ences in South Africa OF the battlefields
and of the hope that the darkness of war
would soon dissolve into the light OF peace.
Then the regiment would turn its face
homeward and he would be reunited with
wife and children.
These records are to Mrs. Campbell the
priceless memories OF a man truly beloved.
