zHE October Critic speaks edito-
rally of a letter received, in
which the one who indited it
sums up the great writer's now
living very briefly, and whom he con-
siders consist of Tolstoy. Kipling,
Mark Twain and one other whom he
only hints at. This latter is, in the
opinion of the writer, the most promis-
ing litterateur we have, and he says If
he goes on as he is doing now, will
leave all the other contemporary au-
thors behind. In the letter he incloses
the name Of this prodigy on separate
piece of paper and hopes that the read
ers of the magazine will try their hands
al guessing who it is and send in names
to the editor. For some reason or
other we imagine this promising writer
10 be an American, but would not dare
hazard further guess as to his lden-
tity. The principal point in the letter
to be dwelt upon is the calm way in
which the writer passes over the bulk
of the literary folk in every country
and announces that We have now but
four immOrtals. Tolstoy he admires
for his fearlessness and sincerity, Kip
ling he considers the one original spirit
of the age in literature, and Mark
Twain is regarded as great because he
has been able to make so many people
laugh. 1t will be interesting to follow
the guesses which will be made as to
the fourth great writer. 1t has never
seemed to occur to anyone that 1t
might be woman, but of course it is
a possibility
Mr.. Upton Sinclair, whose portrait
appears on this page, the author of
Manassas. was born in Baltimore,
Sept 90, 1873, and graduated from the
College of the City of New York in
1897. He subsequently attended the
graduate school of Columbia univer-
sity for four years. In 1900 he was
married, and most of his time since
then has been devoted to literary work.
His first stories showed him a man Of
force and of original ideas. 1t is said
that he has really found himself in this
long and rather meaty novel, the first
of a trilogy designed as an epic of the
Civil war. Mr.. Sinclair's home is at
Princeton, n. J.
One of the first things he did was a
novel called prince Hagan," a most
remarkable story of the effect of fabu-
lous wealth upon the character. The
genesis of the joke is discussed in the
confessions of a "jOl1esmith,' in one
of the magazines, and the old idea that
a humorist is the saddest of men, eX-
ploded. 1t would seem that the pro-
fessional jokers life is rather merry
