which may almost be styled hitherto un.

I'm the fall of 1880, Mr.. Emerson came
one day to the cigar counter of the old

to joke SO uncomplainingly, prevented his

cigar. Putting one finger in his mouth
and putting. this imperial master of Eng

promptly brought box of cigars. Mr..
Emerson then scratched the counter and
touched his finger to the end of cigar, in
response to which matches were provided

his wishes SO readily guessed, and walked

Miss Josephine Dodge Daskam, OF
Josephine Daskam, as she now prefers to
be called-evidently a preparation for a
new surname, is one of the most clever
of our younger writers. Not long ago
we thought her field was limited to
stories of children, but her recent verse
and articles show that she has ability to
hit off the follies and weaknesses of grown
people. A deep current of good common
sense underlies her work. Her last bit OF

The following incident is one Of many
to illustrate the fact that the Lord
Chsist heart in Emerson outliyed the
rest.
One day after the mental decay of
Emerson was far advanced, some one
came to his house, asking for his auto
graph. His power to write one in the
usual way was altogether gone, but not
SO his desire to give pleasure to another.
Accordingly, his daughter gave him one

A Berlin newspaper has recently made
an interesting canvass of its readers for
the purpose of discovering their opinions
as to the ten greatest of living men. 1t is
gratifying to the profession of writing
that literature takes precedence, Tolstoi
leading with SOP votes, followed by
Mommsen, the historian, with 1876. Isben
comes fourth in the list with 425 votes, the
third place being given to the young

Whoever Annie Flint may be-, she has
written noteworthy book III her first
attempt "a Girl of Ideas" published a
few days ago. The story is that of
young college girl who starts life after
the completion of a college course with
the purpose in view of becoming a great
writer. Her first book is rejected by all
of the publishers, but, in spite of this
discouraging fact, she is inspired to open
an office from which she may dispense
ideas for other writer's According to the
tale, the heroine is most successful in this
course. Although she has been unsuccess-
full as a writer herself, she tells dozens
OF ambitious writers what sort of articles
and stories to write-and they all sue

Miss Flynt assumes seem to those ia

efforts to save the good name of the ia

with him, a feeling which the author has
already entertained for the girl, and the
story, naturally, ends happily.
For at least one reason the publishers
should cultivate Miss Flint. She has sug-

Ralph Henry Barbour, whose novel The
Land of Joy" promises to be one of the
most popular of the summer books, al
though only thirty-two years old, has had
remarkable career as a newspaper man
and author. Few know him as Richard
Stillman Powell. but that is the name
which he has been contributing to the ma
gaines for several years, under. Mr..
Barbour began writing for a Boston
newspaper and after six months he was
discharged for having allowed himself to
be ''seooped" on a story. He drifted to
Colrado, where he was employed on Den
yer papers, his last task in that city being
that of literary editor and cartoonist.
After that he worked on Chicago and
Philadelphia papers until two years ago,
when he returned to Cambridge and de-
voted his entire time to writing. The
Land of JOY is Mr.. Barbour's first grown
novel, his four other books having been
long stories for boys. In the new story,
however, Mr.. Barbour will capture a
larer audience. The scene of most of the
story is Leesburg, Va, a very quiet old
town whose claim on future fame rests
OH the fact that for forty eight hours,
it was the seat of the United States gov
eminent. When Washington was invaded
by the British during the war of 1912, the
archives of the Government were secretly
removed to Leesburg, twenty-five miles
away, and deposited in a vault there. A
meeting of the cabinet was held in the
little town during this time, so that the
place was actually the seat OF Govern
ment for short time.

/ When Eaton left with Messiter in the
launch next day he was surprised to find
that he left the town with some regret. In
lstead Of the anticipated bore, his visit had
Fbeen quite q pleasure.
The rain began about the time the
launch reached Inverness and continued in
torrents for several days. Eaton and Mes

The mayor Of Inverness believed he was
making an impression He certainly
made one at the close of the reception,
when he attempted confidential whis-
per and trod heavily on Eatons equity

blandly, and repeated to himself softly.

AS President Eaton, after wretched
nights rest, looked out Of the hotel win
dow at the rain still streaming down. he
contrasted the pleasure he had had at
Wtllapa Bend with the dismalness OF
Inverness and the thorolya disagreeable
experience the place had given him. He
felt he could not stand the place another
hour. Suddenly he turned to Messiter
and announced. his; intention of leaving
that morning for Chicago. The young
man asked when he might expect to hear
what the decision Of the company was in
regard to the terminus.

president abruptly. Then he asked quick

bethought him of his college yell. and
