The American winston ChurchlH Is
now in England on a Eaca ton from his
labors of writing and historical study
Not long ago Mr. Churchill confided in
the public his plans to write series of
historical novels, in which Richard
CarveP' and The Crisis shall be the
first two. Evidently Mr. ChurchilPs
publishers do not believe the historical
romance will be superseded in popular
ity by something else for some time
yet, since Mr.. Churchill IS 20 keep at
this line of work for at least three
years The plan which the author has
outlined, however. seems worthy. He
hopes to cover the whole range OF
American history, and at the same time
to teach his countrymen genuine pat
riotism- According to Mr. Churchill,
patriotism" meant hatred of the Eng

Louis less than twenty years ago Nat
uralIy, speaking to an English audi
ence (for Mr. Churchill was thus inter
viewed in Lendon). he wants to correct
this false impression, and he hopes to
do il by writing a series of fVe his
tcrical novels The obvious thing for
American readers to do is to buy Mr.
Churchill,s books as rapidly as they
are published and learn the meaning
of patriotism. 1t is to be hoped, ar the
same time, though. that the great read
ing public will not accept Mr.. Church
hrs descriptions of scenes, manners,
etc, as absolutely correct Richard
Carver certainly did not give a true
picture of colonial life. nor did The
Crisis give an accurate knowledge OF
the civil war period. Mr.. Churehill's

chronological order in the series. It
happened that the author had several
friends who knew Lincoln intimately.

Mr.. Hamlin Garland has laid himself
open to severe complaint in his lee
lures before the summer school of the
Chicago university by saying that
Shakespeare and Dante are each an in
cubus on the work of the writer's of
today. that Whittier was local in
his poetry, and that Hamlin Garland
is one of the five greatest writer's of
the west. Most of these statements
would have sounded better had they
come from some other source, but few.
{ aside from Professor Triggs and Ham
lin Garland. would dare TO say them.
Something is radically wrong when
writer of as little reputation as Mr.
Garland possesses takes it into his head
to lecture upon his place in literature.
There are not many of Mr.. Garland's
most ardent admirers who would rank
him as one of the five writer's who had
done most to express the mind of the
middle west. Possibly Mr. Edwin
Markham would be one of these, pro-
videdE Mr. Garland returned the COM
pIim6nt and insisted that Markham
was the greatest poet that ever came

writer's whose egotism becomes posi-
lively disgusting at close range. Mr.

The student of chirography would
doubtless be much interested in a COM
parison of the writing of CONAN Doyle
(noW Sir Arthur Doyle) and Nat OF
Edgar Allan Poe. Each wrote a small,
regular hand and made few corree-
lions. The manuscript of The Hound
OF the BaSkerViiles" is now being eX-
hibited in this country. and il Is a
most remarkable piece Of work. from
the point OF view of clear. legible
handwriting There are very few
changes or erasures; the painstaking
character of the great detective seems
TO be a quality of the novelist who
created him There are few erasures
or changes even in the most thrilling
parts of the story. and when these
have been made. il is evidently with
the purpose of making the story clear
en- 1t is singular that both Poe and
Doyle should have the same general
characteristics in this regard, and the
question naturally arises as TO Wheth-

his mystery stories are concerned 1t
