people follow his example. If there were
more readers such az you are, authors

That sixteen people out of three hundred

good showing and should be glad to know
how many of the sixteen spoke of the story

But the Scribncrs will be very glad to

GOSSIP ABOUT THE MILL ON THE
FLOSS"
Burlington, Vt,
June I, 1902.


Now that tho copyright on THE Mil on
the Floss" has expired much interesting
gossip about the book is recalled. The fol-
lowing is from the London Chronicles:
Nearly forty-two years ago, on March
p. 1860 George Eliot wrote, in "fu-
rore," as her own word was, the closing
pages Of THE Mill on the Floss" On the
manuscript of it George Eliot inscribed the
following: ITO my beloved husband George
Henry Lcwes, I give this Ms. of my third
book. written in the sixth year of our life
together at Holly Lodge, South Field
'Wandsworth, and finished March Il, 1860"
At first she thought of giving the story
another title. as the following record by

the title is rather laborious utterance.
But think these objections don't deprive
1t of its Advantages over The Tulivcrs
or Life on the Floss the only alternative
so far as we can see" George Eliot set
1t down that she was grateful. and yet
rather sad to have finished the novel-sad
that she would live with her people on the
banks of the Floss no longer. But it was
time, she added that she should go ard

ideas She went to Italy, and from there.

the gang had terrorizcd that community
by burning and stealing.
Chief Reagan went to Winoosh last
evening to find the owner of the bunch Of
keys which Bowen gave him when he was
arrested. He found they belonged to Mich

place where they were hanging in the

where it was reported that Bowen stole

FLOODS GROWING WORSE.
Situation in Texas More Serious
Nine Persons Drowned

Houston, Tex. July SO.-Flood conditions
in the BraZon valley continue to grow
steadily worse. The river is again rising
about Waco and the crest of the flood
was only a short distance below that
point this morning. The whole of the low
land is inundated and water yet to come
down which will put the river over the
record mark. 9 e.
Railroad and wagon bridges are washed
out and railroads are again in very bad
shape. .ssgi ts-
The San Marcos river is higher than
ever before and the whole country around
San Marcos is inundated. Heavy damage
has resulted in Guadalupe valley.
Every stream in the state has more
water in them than for years. In the
cattle country. creeks which have had
no water in them for twenty years are
now running bank full.
There is not even a way of aDDroxi-
mating the extent of the damage though
it is known to be hundreds of thousands
of dollars as the valleys are used largely
as cotton fields.
The people were given ample warning
and are moving from the bottoms with
their stock so the loss of life is small.
Nine persons have been reported drowned
since the flood began.

i've exhibition of the age" When the
grand cayalcade, with its blaring
music and its richly caparisoned horses
with their nodding plumes and SPAN
giles, four abreast, drawing the identi-
cal fiery chariot Tod had heard his
father talk about; when all the highly
painted wagons with their mysterious
contents, and the cunning fairy ponies
with their little, fluffy names and
hossy tails-when all this burst upon
Tod's enraptuTed eyes. he fell mutely
into place behind the band wagon, with
its myriad followers; and so, dazed
aWe-stricken and entranced, accom-
panied the pageant on its grand trl-
umphal march around the town.
Tod carried water for the animals;
Tod ran errands of all kinds for the
showmen; Tod looked upon the gruff,
ill-tempered canVas-hand with an awe
approaching reverence. Tod was go
ing to the show. too, for he had been
most fortunate in exchanging his poor
services of the morning for the open
sesame of all the dreamed-of wonders
of the arena. Tod would laugh and
whisper TO himself, hugging the ticket
closely to his palpita ting side, as he
ran about on errands of hundred
kinds. occupying every golden lnterlude
of time in drawing the magic passport
from his pocket and gloating over the
cabalistic legend, Complimentary,
with the accompanying autograph OF
the fat old manager with the broad,
bejeweled expanse of shirt front, and
a watch seal as big as a walnut; while
on the reverse side he would glut his
vision with an exterior view of the
monster pavilion" where a girl poised
high in air on a cord, in spangled
DRESS" was kissing her hand to
mighty concourse of people. who waved
their hats and handKerchiefs in widest
token of approval and acclaim. Nor
was this the sole cause of Tod'S de-
light, for the fat man with the big
watch seal had seemed to take a spe-
cial fancy to him, and had told him
he might bring friend along, that his
ticket would pass two. AS the glee-
full Tod was scan1pering off to ask the
teacher if he wouldn't so, he met his
anxious father in a deep state of dis
tress, and was led home to listen in
agony and tears to dismal disserta-
ton on the wickedness of the shows,
and the unending punishment awaiting
the poor giddy moths that fiuttered
morning. He had retired very early
the previous evening. He acted
strange like" said the good grand
mother, recalling vaguely that he
hadn't eaten any supper and
thought 1 heard him crying in the
night. What was the matter with him,
Isaac?"
