A correspondent who recently for
warded as a gift to Count Tolstoi a
copy of Herbert Spencer's Auto
biography" has received, in the course
of a reply, few lines of criticism
which show the deep-seated lack OF
sympathy between the two great mod
ern thinkers: THANK you very much
for the beautiful book which you have
sent me. Les grandes penSees

had little heart, and SO the 'gr2ndes

of a roint of view and a matrred
opinion upon some vital topic" 1t was
in This spirit that she wrote He That
Eateth Bread With Ne"
In Uarper's Magazine for July Mr..
Alden tells about the modern develop
ment Of the short story:
considering the kind of criticism
nassed by certain writer's upon con-
temporary magazine stories. we are
comneIled to think that these critics
mover read the stories. At least they
have no adequate conception of the de-
veloprncnt of the short story during the
LIST twenty years. 1t is easy without
any real knowledge of the subject to
picture the magazine editor as a kind
of Cerberus to frighten away the liter
ary aspirant, and as having a special
spleen against genius. The kind of
originality which he excludes is really
not of the order which could be at
tributed to genius. The great writers
of our time are not, as is often sup
posed. first repealed by the magazine
editor and afterwards courted by him
when they have wrested success from
fate in spite of his antagonism. On
the contrary. our best writer's received
their first encouragement from maya
nize editors, and not single instance
can be adduced of a writer who has
won n lasting place in literature and
who in the beginning encountered edl-
torial disfavor.
"Our own experience in dealing with
the contributors of two generations
iustifies this assertion, and it also en-
ables US to add that in substantial
value, artistic workmanship, and va
riety the short story has during this
period steadily advanced-a develop
ment appreciated only by those who
have given special attention to the sub
ject. In a general way and quite I'M
consciously it is appreciated by maya
zine readers, for among these it is the
readers Of short stories who constitute
the vast majority and who could not be
held by mediocrity of talent

There are two things the literary

the fortunes made by Hall Game and
Marie Corilli, it is wholesome to reflect
upon the twenty-five dollars that Mil
ton got for Paradise Lost" Shelley
never made anything out of his poetry;
Browning for twenty years and over
paid to get his work printed; the great
est of English novelists earns his live
lihood by reading for publishers, and
although we have no data, it would be
safe to guess that Mr.. Swinburne could
not support himself by his poetry. To
sum up, in Steyenson's words again:
what you may decently. expect If you
have some talent and much industry is
such an income as a clerk will earn
with tenth or perhaps Il twentieth Of

TWENTY FOR DAVIS.
Morrilton Has a Wood Club That Insures a Victory For Oppo-
 nents of Jeff.

Rev. F. M. Wylie, editor of the Morrilton Headlight, is one of
 the dozen delegates from Morril- ton to the Good Roads conven- tion. To a Little Rock reporter he made the following statement:
 "The main topic of conversa- tion upon our streets IS the po- litical situation. Two years ago Governor Davis carried Welcome (Morrilton) township against Rector by a vote of 319 to PAP.
 There are now 300 names upon the list for the organization of a Wood Club at this place, with new ones being enrolled every day. A call has been issued for the members of the club to meet at the court house Friday even ing for the purpose of perfecting the organization. It is expected that this will be one of the larg- est and most enthusiastic meet ings of Democratic voters this township has ever had. One of the most hopeful features of the situation is that the farmers of the township are joining the club en masse, and are in the majori- ty. Conway county is all right. 1"

INDIGNATION MEETING
Held Eto Raise Money to Ferret Out J. T. Pomeroy's
 Assailant.

Eureka Springs, Ark, Jan. 20.
 An attempt was made to as sassinate Jas. T. Pomeroy, chair man board of water and sewer commissioners Thursday night about z o'clock as he was pass ing through an alley, taking a short cut toward his home, and he is now in a serious condition.
 The assault was made from ambush, and the assailant, who used . stake from a heavy trans fer wagon, was unseen by his vic tim. Several terrific blows were dealt, breaking the nose and teeth and badly confusing the head.
 A pool of blood marks the spot where MT. Pomeroy lay for about twenty minutes, when he arose and walked home III a semi-unconscious condition.
 Friday night an extraordinary mass meeting of citizens was held and great indignation pre- vailed. A large amount of mon ey was raised to apprehend the guilty parties.
 MT. Pomeroy, who has vigor- ously pushed the investigation of the affairs of the old board of commissioners, who had to be busted by an act of the legisla- ture, has passed unheeded re- peated cautions of his friends that violence would be done him. Money and papers in his pockets were undisturbed, showing that robbery was not the motive.

TWO KILLED IN
 MOUNTAIN WRECK
Brakeman Went to Sleep Cupa1o of Caboose Instead of Tagging the Train Following Body Burned to Crisp and Shipped to His
 Home in Tcxarkana.

The most disastrous wreck that has occurred recently on the Iron Mountain was the one at about 1:30 o'clock Monday afternoon, and as a result two men are dead and probably S50,000 damage done to railroad property.
 The wrecked freight, running as an extra, left Little Rock at 5 o'clock Monday morning for Hoxie, the crew taking charge at Little Rock. The water in the boiler of the engine ran low and when the freight reached the curve two miles south of here, just before reaching the White river bridge, it stalled, the steam being too low. The engine was uncoupled and run into Newport for water and the train left standing on the main line.
 Brakeman R. A. Clarke was left in charge of the train and it was supposed to have been his duty to go back and flag any train which might be following. Instead of doing this it is alleged he went to sleep in the cupola of the caboose.
 The fast freight was following

SLASHED WITH KNIFE.

George Johnson, a negro from Weldon, who came to town with $50, was spotted as an easy vic tim by two footpads Wednesday evening near the Choctaw depot.
 He put up a fight for his saw ings, however, and managed to escape after being cut twice, once across the face and the other in the side. He thinks his assailants were negroes, but could give no description of them.
