In a "Talk With Tired People" by
Margaret E. Sangster, which appeared
in recent periodical, the writer says,
MY own feeling is that Charles
Lambs idea of heaven-to lie all day
on sofa and read novels-was not so
aippant as it sounds"
1t may be interesting to our readers
to notice that the same sentiment is
attributed to Gray in one Of the famous
essays of old Abram Hayward. In his
essay on Alexandra Dumas, the author
saws: "To lie on a sofa and read eternal
new novels of Marivaux or Crebillon
was the beau ideal, the day dream, of
Gray. one of the choicest and most
fastidious minds of the eighteenth cen
fury. and what is there of Marivaux
or Crebillon to compete in attractive
ness with the wondrous fortunes of a

SAW HIM UNCLOAKED.
why the Timid Vicar Ceased to Fear
the Dignified Bishop.

/ A certain English bishop who was
generally feared by his clergy because
of his arrogant and unbending manner
was visited one day by timid vicar
who had never held any communica-
ton with his lordship save by letter.
He had heard stories enough, how
ever. to make him exceedingly anxious
accrning the interview, and on reach
the palace he paused in the shrub
.ole to get up little courage.
/ While he was standing there, hidden
as he believed, he saw the bishop come
to the door. book in hand, and look up
and down the garden. The vicar
promptly broke out in a cold perspira-
ton. thinking his skulking had been
detected. Not so. After a long look
about the bishop called:
Tom"
There was faint and not very re-
spectful cooey from somewhere up in a
tree, but no other response.
Come, Tom, come, my boy" coaxed
the bishop. at is time for your Latin
grammar. Let me hear it"
So the unbending bishop taught
Tom Latin and had as much disci-
pine as the head of a dame school!
The vicar stepped out from behind the
bush and looked after the bishop, who,
having gone forward, was now stand
ing under the tree that sheltered re-
bellious Tom.
Now, Tom, come down." said the
bishop. Here is a shilling if you'll
come down."
NO, no. came the reply. IF come
down, | must have half crown"
"A shilling is all you'll get, Tom
"a shilling as soon as l set foot on
the ground?"
Yes, Tom"
"AIl right, I'll come" graciously.
Shoulders. daddyv'
The vicar saw the bishop lean for
ward. hands on knees: then a stocky
young rebel landed on his shoulders.
and the vicar crept behind the bush
again. When the bishop and Tom had
gone into the house, the vicar stole ont
of the palace garden.
An hour later he returned. The hish-
op was not less arrogant and unbend-
ing than he had been described. but the
vicar had lost all fear. If it returned.
he thought he could hearten himself a
BIT by looking at certain dust marks ON

[speclal CORRESPONDENCE

Especial Correspondence
New York. Nov. II. = Mr.. Frank
Hamilton Spearman, who wrote the
striking collection Of railroad stories
published under the title THE Nerve
of Foley" has never been rail
road man, strange as this may seem
to his readers. Mr.. Spearman was re-
Gently asked how he came by such
minute information and understanding
of railroad life. He replied that he
learned it while in the banking bust
ness in the west,
This seemed more puzzling than ever
until Mr.. Speannan explained that he
had lived in the town of McCook,
Neb., which was operating head
quarters for the western division of
the Burlington road, and it is there
the stories in "The Nerve of Foley are
laid. All the operating force of this
road from superintendent to boiler
washer, Mr. Spearman knew intimate
ly. He had monetary and political
deals with them, almost lived with
them, and unconsciously became thor
oughly saturated with railroad color.
On a recent visit to the scene of his
former experience Mr.. Spearman was
received with acclaim by the railroad
"boys," who had recognized themselves
in "The Nerve of Foley and gloried in
it. But, Mr.. Spearman says, even his
purely imaginary characters were
identified with living men, and all the
no tn IN g
introduced to Originals" of Bucks and
Galatians and others.
81 hadn't heard of them before"
said Mr.. Spearman, "but nobody's ar
dor was dampened by that. On the
west end everything goes"
Mr.. Spearman now lives with his
wife and four lively boys in Wheaton,
Ill.
Those who have read the charmingIy
humorous story "AIrs. Wigs of the
Cabbage Patch" will be interested to
know that the author, Miss Alice Cald-
we'll Hogan, has written another book,
in which Mrs. Wigs and her original
children once more appear. Miss He
gan lives in Louisville, KY, and her
first book, Mrs. Wigs" is counted as
one of the big successes of the year just
ending.
Miss Josephine Dodge Daskam is en-

advanced far with the serial, and the
editor of the Bazaar, Miss Elizabeth G.

story for a certain date. The next

The above letter was the result Of
an inquiry from the Collector of Gus

on the advisability of permitting the
ship to clear and resume her voyage
in view of the fact that Captain Hal

quired by law.
The L. s laws require that the
original crew list of the vessel shall
be filed with the ships papers when
the vessel enters an American port.
Honolulu is the first American port
visited by the Sewall since she left
Baltimore nearly four years ago
Since that time the vessel has been
engaged in trade between foreign
ports and has had about fifteen diff
