A little later received an Omaha
paper containing the following notice:
Omaha, Neb., April 1f.-Colonel
John II. Musick, author, journalist and
politician. died OF heart failure at his
apartments in this city today. Mr. Mu.
sick devoted the greater part of his
life to writing historical stories for
young people. He was twice president
Of the Authors Guild of New York
city. and was several times grand
chancellor commander of the Knights
OF Pythias for Missouri.
"Mr. Musick was best known by his
series of Columbian historical novels
In twelve volumes. Il was while pro.
fessor of literature and history in the
College of Missouri in 1882 that he
conceived the idea OF the series.
"He had about sixty pupils, and
found that most OF them disliked his.
tory, and could not remember 1t cas-.
lily. One day, however, he gave them
and every one in the class could re-
peat the story perfectly. That opened
his eyes, and he conceived thorough
historical series with a romance inter-
woven to give interest to the student.
1t was eight or nine years before he
could carry out his wishes. The nov.
els begin with the discovery of Amer.
! lea. and they are so full Of dramatic
. incidents and so well written that
, they have found as many mature as
youthful readers. The titles are Co

This is all about book, boollish
man, and a damnably outrageous
Thing. II is a Enthusiastically Ha-
waiian habit-this devilish trick Of
bounding to death or worse a man
whose book, face, clothes, wife, chill
dren or business we may not happen
to like.
The Bulletin Bouliman never saw
Mr.. Musick until he met him here: he
does not even belong to the same
lodge. but he does think that 1t Is
about time for some of us who Think
Ourselves Little Better than the
Rest, to wake up to the fact that we
are really too small and despicable to
Go To Hell.
