INTERESTING PERSONALITIES.
October 6. 1903.

The Magazine Number of The outlook
for October is notable for several articles
dealing with the personal life Of men
who have, OF have had, great influence
over the worlds history 1t is also no
table for a great amount of original IL
lustration drawn by artists OF ability ex-
pressly for this purpose. The bi-centen-
airy of the birth of Jonathan Edwards,
which occurs early in October, is made
the occasion of unique article by Kate
NJ Cone, in which the personal rather
than the theological side Of Jonathan Ed
wards life is dwelt upon, and his mingled
asceticism and sweetness Of temper are
strikingly brought out; the drawings by
Charles w. Furlong aid greatly in this
result The second of the articles by
Edward A. Steiner on Tolstoy deals with
Tolstoy's Marriage and Family Life" a
singular story, and one full of personal
interest; pen-and-ink drawings by Rus
sian artists furnish portraits and other
illustrations; these articles now publish
ing in The Outlook are the result of sew
eral months residence in Russia by Pro-
fessor Steiner, undertaken for this ex-
press purpose, and will form part of a
book, "Tolstoy the Man." soon to be pub
lshed by The Outlook Company. Par
ticularly fine portraits of the late Bishop
Clark, at the time of his death the oldest
bishop in the Episcopal Church, and Of
hi. successor in the see of Rhode Island,
Dr. McVicar, accompany sketch OF the
two bishops. The instalment Of ey-Sec-
rotary Longs 1.-THE New American Navy"
for the month, is filled with personal
"reminiscences of men and things in Wash
mo durino. the neriod of the Spanish War
and naturally has the story and anecdotal
element in abundance. There are also sew
eral other well-illustrated articles and
a charmingly idyllic story of Puritan
times in England, by Una L. Siberrad.

The Last Voyage.

Ny work on earth is well-nigh done,

/ hear the surging of the sea
That beats upon Eternity.
/ see far off the shadoWy realm,
And thither turn the trembling helm.
The winds that blow so cold and drear
Grow softer as the end draws near!
The distant CLEANS of silver light
Relieve the darkness of the night.
There stand upon the misty shore
Faint forms of~loved ones gone before
The voice that once said peace, be still''
Now whispers softly, Fear no ill.,"

The Saviour takes me for His own.

TOlstoy's Curious Courtship

Professor Edward A. Steiner, of Grin
nell College, spent this summer In Rus
STA collecting material for life of
Tolstoy which will soon be published by
The Outlook Company. One OF the chap
tiers, that on '"Tolstoy's Married Life, ap-
pears in The Outlook's Magazine for Oc-
tober. The courtship was singular one,
as appears from this excerpt:
For him there existed only two classes
of women: 1.-The one which was COM
posed of all the women in the world ex-
cept Sofia, and who were heirs to all
the feminine faults, just common human
beings-and the other class Just her alone,
without a fault and high above all 9TH
ers." Although no one knew that his
attentions were centered upon her land
the mother thong hit that they were sure
ly intended for her eldest daughter),
Sofia, with that intuition which belongs
to woman, had not only OWNED mis- love,
but had also awakened In her the same
feeling Mrs. Baer and her daughters
left Yasnaya Polyana after three days
visit, and there was something in the
glance of Tolstoy's eyes and In the pres
sure of his hand when he bade Sofia good
by which made his riding after them in
few days and his appearance at Ivizy
quite natural and not unexpected to her.
He came with the strong desire to ask
Sofia to be his wife, and while they
were alone under a shading tree. she slt-
ting on a wooden bench IN front of a
table, he looking down on her chestnut
brown hair and into her grayish-blue eyes,
the desire ripened into determination. She
was playing with a piece OF chalk, writ
ing on the table, or rather just marking
marks, when he said, II have been wish
ing to ask you something for a long
time" and the grayish-blue eyes looked
into his, frightened but friendly, as she
said, please ask He took the piece of
chalk out of her fingers and wrote the
first letters of the words of a sentence
which was very complicated and which
she had to decipher. "And what is this,
and what is that?" he asked of one word
after another, and with wrlnkled fore
head and blushing cheek she answered him.
''And this word?" he asked again, and
she said, ut means never, but it is not
so,'' and, taking the crumprng chalk
from him, she wrote four letters which
did not form the words of a complicated
sentence. and he needed no one to ask
him, what is this, or what is that?"
He knew what they meant, Tor all she
wrote was ever. This declaration of
his love he used in a more complicated

Conspicuous among the October fashion
magazines is the Delineator. 1t presents
charming and up-to-date autumn styles,
valuable illustrated articles on topics of
fashion, as well as literary contents of a
high standard. The Evolution of a Club
Woman, serial story, by Agnes Sur
bridge, which begins in this number treats
a fundamental question of the feminine
world-the woman's club, and promises to
be extremely interesting. 1t is an autil
biography-a story of fact, but more fascil
mating than fiction.

GENERAL JOSEPH GRAHAM AND HIS
PAPERS N. c. REVOLUTIONARY
HISTORY

To the Editor: I expect to have the
above book ready for subscribers by De-
cember. General Graham's service in the
Revolutionary War are not local but be-
long to the history of the State. What
he saw and heard as a lad of fifteen at
the convention, May Goth, IT'S, can not
be gainsayed. The Legislative period
mentions many Of the most important
laws enacted from 1882 among them for
emancipation of slaves, for return, Of
slaves brought from States emancipating
to the States whence brought-penalty for
each month kept in the State-Location
of Capitol at Raleigh-his protest against
regulating the practice of medicine-How
acts were then ratified. A plan he sub
mitted to the Legislature in 1902 for a
Military Academy for instruction for
militia officers. This was the year that
Congress authorized the establishment of
West Point In 1924. The 7th Regi-
ment is perhaps the only one that saw
service of any notable length beyond the
borders of the State.
Part H. embraces more than half of
North Cardinals Revolutionary history by
citizen Of the State that has been pre-
served. Upon it is based almost every
paper and book concerning this period.
Here are the originals.
l have added notes:
1 To Ramsour's Mill as to why the peo-
pie were loyahsts.
2. To Kings Mountain; that Col. Will
liams' South Carolina men were proba-
bly, North Carolinians and that North
Carolina gave him $4,000 to raise and
equip troops.
8. To Governs Ford: in reply to the
Henry pamphlet.
The price Of the book will be two dol
lars, payable when notified that the book
is ready for delivery. Edition will be
regulated as to number of subscriptions
received. I can not afford to publish as a
speculation: shall be governed by amount
Sin sight Any few extra copies over
subscription will be advanced at least
fifty pei cent. on price.

THE DELIGHTS OF NUDITY.

(Arnold Haultain, in the October Atlantic)
I cling to that perhaps fanciful theory
that no primitive instinct of man is al
together lost 1t is modified, ampEtied,
refined; that is ALL With all our culture,
we are barbarians still. Man is a clothed
savage And now and again he delights
in doffing the clothing and returning
heartily to savagery. How delightful the
feel Of the briny breeze and the bolster
Gus wave on the bare pelt! Mr.. Edward
Carpenter rails at the q think eleven
layers of clothing that intervene between
our skins and the airs of heaven. Walt
Whitman reveled in his nude sun-bath.
What treat, too, sometimes, to get
away from the multi-coursed dinner and
to bite downright audibly into simple food
in the fresh air, and to lap water Mostly
from the brook! Well,- walking, perhaps,
is the primal instinct, ancient as Eden,
where the Lord walked in the garden
in the cool of the day And, if my
theory is correct, walking will persist
till IN recovered Paradise man walks with
his Maker again. No mechanical contri-
vance for locomotion will extirpate the
tribe of tourists, of those who walk from
the love of walking.

week, Mr.. Morley has taken the meat
from the huge mass of Gladstone cor
respondence-a sentence here and there,
an allusion, a paragraph that throws
light on the mans ideas at given time
and has woven it into his narrative.
Rigorous compression has been necessary
in order that the whole ground might be
covered, and Mr.. Morley has made the
best possible use of his splendidly rich
materials. Had the book no other attrac-
ton than its style, these three volumes

You will preach about it and bemoan it;
admire it and despise it.; give it away

again. And after it all you will decide

-Four Roads to Paradise is the title Of
novel by Mrs. Maud Wilder Goodwin
which is to appear in The Century Maya
zine beginning with the November num-
Der. The title was suggested by this
passage from the Talmud: -Four men
entered Paradise: one beheld and died;
one lost his senses; one destroyed the
young plants one only entered in peace"
1t is a love story of New York people,
with the principal scenes in New York
and Florence. In character drawing, OBJ
servation of life, wit, and literary finish,
the conductors of The Century confidently
believe that this novel will place Mrs
Goodwin among the foremost story
writer's OF America.

PRESIDING ELDERS.
Make Their Reports at Wednesday
Mornings Session.

Mornings Session.
The reports of the presiding eld-
ers commenced with the Fairmont
district, Rev. White reporting a
need OF more missionary appropria-
tons. Two pastoral changes were
made on account of health. One
church, he reported, had doubled
it's membership during the last two
years, and it now numbered four.
There are ~ Epworth League chap
ters and 20 Juniors in the con-
ference. He reported Milroy having
built a church costing 81, 800. He
advised cultivating rural districts
to strengthen the morals of the
town, and said that systematic
work was greatly needed in smaller
towns.
Rev. Peter Clare reported a net
gain of 2S2 in the membership of
the Mankato district, which had
been visited by successive rains
and loss of crops, causing lack of
pay of salaries of pastors and their
benevolences. In closing he made
a strong appeal for Asbury hospital
at Minneapolis.
Rev. J. M. Bull of the Pipestone
district, reported that owing to the
hail storms in his district some of
the charges in the district would
have to be consolidated. Some
debts on churches have been paid,
while three new churches have
been built and two are in contempla-
ton. There has been a slight in
crease in membership. Epworth
League chapters were reported in a
fourishing condition.
Rev. F. NJ. Rule of the St. Paul
district reported some progress.
All St. Paul churches. except Cen
trail Park, were nearly free from
debt, and $4,000 has been paid on
that debt. He hoped in a short
time to have a church between the
First NJ. E. church and Hamline.
Hamline university was to-day in
better condition than ever before
and there were bright hopes for its
future. Additional buildings were
necessary for the accommodation of
the future.
Rev. j. M. Stout of the Winona
district reported an active year.
Only two removals occurred from
the district. A fair increase of
membership was reported, the net
gain being No. Every charge, save
one, has a minister The crop
failure in some parts of the district
was assigned as a cause for the
membership increase not being
larger. Thirty-6v Epworth League
chapters were reported.

A GRAND OLD PROPHET.

What a grand old prophet was
Isaiah, according to the theory ex-
pounded by Prof. Chas. HorsweIl,
in most interesting lecture before
church crowded with people com
mencing yesterday afternoon, and
so interesting was the character
and the minister that the audience
called for the lecturer to 90 on
when he wanted to stop.
The faith of Isaiah was "The
Faith Founded on Reality" and
Prof. Horswell followed the career
of the old prophet, the way that he
endured his greatest troubles and
overlooking his minor troubles, in
manner that called forth many
"Amens' and a tear of sympathy
for Isaiah, who has long since gone
to his reward, and sitting very
close to the throne of God, accord
ing to the belief of Pros. Horswell
and many who heard him.
The perseverance and push of the
old prophet, the nothing but sue
cess of his character, was due to
the vision that appeared to him
when alone and when meditating on
his troubles, and that perseverance
made him great even above the
kings and princes of the time, who
were but as Sodom and Gomorrah
to him.
Prof. Horswell insisted that Isaiah
stood for that modern doctrine
so much in vogue to-day, of not lis
a man saved, but "what is he good
fOr?"
Using the old fellows character
istics the speaker said that if an
adequate idea of salvation could be
laid before men all would be saved,
and to be saved was to plan to work
and to be a son of God. He closed
with a brilliant tribute to his SUBJ
ject and amid the applause of the
audience.
