Children have established a classic liter

what children should read they have dis
carded by the ton, and books that were
never written for them they have calmly
made their own. Various old writer's would
stare with amazement and chagrin could
they come to life and discover the present
status of their work.
For instance, Robinson Crusoe' was
never written for children, but they took it
as their inheritance. Gullivers Travels

the masses in the sixteenth, seventeenth

the worst possible pictures, frequently

An Indiana Historian.

Mr.. M. w. Hazeltine prefaces an ex-
haustive review in the New York Sun of
Prof. James A. woodburn's latest publica-
ton with these well-deserved and compli-
mentary remarks:
LAS every American citizen is vitality in
terested in the Interpretation of our federal
Constitution, we predict a wide circulation
for the book entitled The American Re-
public and Its Government by James Al
bert WOODBURY. professor of American his
tory and politics in Indiana University.
We do not assert that the authors conclu-
sions upon every important and interesting
point will be universally accepted, but we
do think that a sounder or more useful
commentary has never before seen the
light. Even Mr.. James Bryces study of
the American Commonwealth must, upon
the whole. be deemed less fruitful than the
investigation of which we have the out
come in this volume. What is here pre-
sented is an analysis of the government of
the United States, coupled with consider
alton of its fundamental principles, and of
the relations of the States and Territories.
1t may be heartily commended to every
representative, every senator, and, we may
add, to every President What we regret
is that, although the preface was penned
on JAM 20, 1903 there is no reference in the
book, SO far as we have been able to dis
cover, to Mr.. Roosevelts extra-constitu-
tiOnal interposition between employers and
the employed in the State of Pennsylvania
during the anthracite coal strike. We
Souu not eApect reference 10 the decision
of the United States Supreme Court in the
lottery cases, for this had not yet been rem
dered. Almost every other question, how
ever, OF past, actual or prospective interest
relating to the construction of our federal
organic law will be found discussed in
these 400 pages. We do but express con-
viction borne i'm upon us by a perusal of the
volume when we say that not single page
should be overlooked by any citizen who
desires to obtain clear idea of the linn
itations of our federal government and of
the interrelations of its executive, legisla-
tive and judiciary departments. We can
here indicate but a small part of the
grounds for the conviction by marking what
the author has to say about a few of the
questions which are examined in the work
before u.s."

Pittsburg Dispatch.
While in Pittsburg last week DIR. Bertha
Caldwell, of India, told some good anec-
dotes on the doctors of that country. One
day she was riding in the cars with Mo-
hammedan doctor. She asked him what
kind he was-an alopathist, homeop-
athist OF an osteoIath. He answered, Il
don't know.
DR.. Caldwell asked him how he practced
and what kind of medicine he gave. Open
ing up a box he carried, he exhibited seven
bottles containing liquids of all the colors
of the rainbow.
''You see" said the Mohammedan doctor.
'.fever makes the patient red, and then 1
give him red medicine. A cold makes him
blue. and then / give him blue medicine.
If he is bilious he is yellow, and then L give
him yellow medicine" And thus he went
on to the end. SheNremarked: You must
be a homeopathic

the doctors door:

Bret Harte and Mary wilkins.

The Bookman.
OF all short-story writer's ambitious to
turn novelist. Bret Harte is the only one
recall who was warned by the artistic fall
ure of his first effort and wisely refrained
from a second. Even Mary Wilkins. one OF
the few real creators-as distinguished
from the intellectually manufactured-has
gone on beating out short stories, which. If
turned out of the mold presented to her by
nature, would have added new facets 10 a
brilliant reputation. AS il is the present
generation at least is in danger or forget
ting that she Is an artist. However, her
permanent reputation is secure.
If born writer's like Bret Harte and Mary
Wilkins fail with the sustained effort, how
necessarily fatal is this ambition to the
manufactured author; he--it Is usually
she--who. having arrived at years of ma
turity. says to himself: / am educated, ac-
complshed; / have seen something of the
world, l. have the analytical mind, knowl-
edge of good literature: | have observed
people until find my brain well furnished
with both types and stories; experience has
taught me that | am cleverer than the ma
jority-I will write. Add to these qualifica-
tons ambition and industry. and first
class manufactured author will be the re-
suit, acceptable imitation of the real
thing. We have a number of such writers
in American and English fiction, and we
are grateful for them.
