William Dean Howells has no consider

yarn, is attributed to him 1t was provoked
by the action of a young author who had
been protege of Howells and who when
he arrived never lost an opportunity to
say something nice of Howells. On one
occasion the younger author made an adj
dress before a body of literary men in
which he virtually asserted. that, every
thing good and great in native literature
owed its inspiration to Howells. The ad-
dress was printed far and wide and com
mented on at length, not always in man
ner complimentary to las author. Mr..
Howells' attention was naturally called to
the matter and he wrote his protege let
ter in which he involved story of two
men who, bathing at the seashore, were
seen struggling and heard crying for help.
A crowd gathered to watch the efforts of the
life guards, who could hear above the roar
of the ocean and the noise made by the
crowd voice believing: 'Save the red
haired man! Save him first! The red
haired man, sure!' Both men were saved
and the guards, going after the excitable
fellow on the beach in the hope af graf
uity, asked: "Red-head chap relation O.
yours, sir?" "No-no relative at ALL" he
replied, "but he owes me $l9"
