Hawthorne. "cur.ed Habit"

1t would be easy to explain Haw-
thorne's peculiar temperament after
the modern fashion by reference to
heredity and environment. No doubt
there was a strain of eccentricity in
the family. He himself tells Of cor-
sin who made spittoon out of the
skull of his enemy, and it is natural
that descendant of the old Puritan
witch judge should portray the weird
and grotesque aspects of life. Proba-
bly,, too, his native tendency was in
creased by the circumstances that sur
rounded his youth, the seclusion Of his
mothers life. his boyhood on Lake Sc
bago, where, as he says, he first got his
'cursed habit of solitude" and the
long years during which he lived as a
hermit in Salem.
But after all these external matters
and even the effect of heredity, so far
as we can fathom it, explain little or
nothing. A thousand other men might
have written his books if their source
lay in such antecedehts. Behind it all
was the demonic force Of the man him
self, the everlasting mystery Of genius
inhabiting his brain and choosing him
to be an exemplar and interpreter OF
the inviolable individuality in which
lie the pain and glory of our human
'estate.-Paul Elmer More in Atlantic
Monthly.

High Henry Bahrenberg was not a
bad man. He was kind hearted, honest
and brave. He was one of the very
best runners on the road. He was
feet and might have been taller had
he not stopped slightly. He was so
high, began said, that if ever he fell
down it would kill him. He had a
quick, nervous step and an apologize
smile. Unfortunately for himself and
his friends, he had an uncomfortable
temper. People said he lost it often.
Henry often wished he could lose it
permanently. He was likely when sud-
denly angered to do things which caus-
ed him unhappy days and sleepless
nights of regret. ...
But if a man said calmly and dispas-
sionately: "Henry, don't care for you.

that you are. You delight to punish
people, and think can climb all over

"Stop, stopw Henry would exclaim.
"Don't say another word" And he
would prepare for the fall.
Having agreed to fight fair, Henry
would not break his word, though his
wrath might choke him.
On the eve of a presidential election
Henry entered a little hotel after a
hard run with the general managers
special and found a party of working
men talking politics. When Henry had
traced his long name in a long hand

No American can walk out and hire a

He must instead arrange with a ''boss"

for trade unionism.
An old convict ship from Australia is

New Orleans, which is being placed on
the basis of $2o,OOo,OOO cost, will re-
move the serious objection to residence
there and place her among the more

careful timing he finds that the grey

near that of a carrier pigeon.

The men fought silently. When they

had recovered from the fatigue of a
two hundred mile run. Five minutes
later Henry lay under the Irishman,
but holding both of his wrists.

Henry was a sight to see, but the

Noah. who fired for High Henry,
was of another piece. He was meek
and lowly, quiet as a Quaker, guileless
and good. But Noah had one deplor-
able weakness. He could not stay

two or three times, and Henry, being
