Five children have been born to them
the oldest Dora, is eleven and has all
the beauty of her mother, and the young
est is just beginning to toddle. There
is one boy, four years old, who bears the
name of his father "Ohiyesa' which
means THE Successful One" For him
the book Indian Boyhood'' was written
though it will be some years yet before
he will be able to understand how Won
derful life his father has lived.
The fact that Elaine Goodales first
book of verse sold some 10000 copies in
less than two years. a most remarkable
record, led her friends to believe that
she made a great mistake in devoting
her life to the Indians Many of these
solicitous people became alarmed for
Miss Goodale's safety when she was chos-
en- for supervisory work among the Da-
kota Indions. Later thy told the story
of her that she had all at once dropped
out of hight, had turned TO the life of the
Indian and was living a strange life in
tho tepees of the Sioux dressed like
them and eating the same food. In a
tepee, so the story went, she met her
future husband, but this was only one Of
the false accounts of her life then.
A view of her now is given by friend
who recently visited her.
81 found Mrs. Eastman sitting in cosy
parlor in front of an open fireplace. She
is a woman noticeable anywhere for her
beauty of face and form. In her arms
she held a BABY. her own, but the child
had not inherited any of the attractive
ness of the mother 1t was a veritable
011 in mi
sight, this beautiful woman holding the
homely pappoose, with its glittering eyes,
every move and every expression marking
it as an Indian. It seemed a changeling
from the tepees, but the mother crooned
to it as mothers always have done and
the mother love was not dimmed.
The loss of a career in letters is moth
ing to the gain of life of such devotion
as this.
The other day Mr. Henry Harland walk
ed into the office of a New York publish
CT whom he had known years before and
exclaimed:
"My word, but this is tremendous. Do
you moan to tell me this is all your bust
ness and all these your people? WHY"
he went on, "the last time 4 was in
your office, l remember you had one room
and two or three clerks and then the
contrast of the situation seemed to set
the author speechless. Mr.. Harland had
been away from this publishers office for
a dozen years and hod come back to find
him one Of the leading men in the bust
ness.
When the young writer lived in this
country, the same publisher had been
one of his first customers. AS Sydney
Luska, Mr.. Harland wrote number of
very excellent stories of the Jews His
fathers house overlooked the best resi-
.dences of the Jewish quarter in Beckham
Place in New York City, and the young
man spent much of his time in the
association of his neighbors. 1t was said
at enc time that Mr.. Harland owed much
Of his excellent stories to the fact that
he was in love with beautiful Jewess
of the quarter.
Of late years he has lived SO much
in England that few recognize him as
native New Yorker.
In his last volume of Observations, Mr..
Dooley make a few pertinent remarks
about authors and publishers.
