T ONDON, Feb. 2i.--SIr Arthur Co
nan Doyles hold on the public
good will has been so constant and
his treatment at the hands Of
critics so kindly ever since he created
Sherlock Holmes that IT must be rather
dsconccrtlng experience for the au-
thor to see himself roundly abused and
his opinions rldculed as he has had to
several times Of late. But when the
crspyhio Doctor Doyle decided to run
for parliament as a Conservative, he
hardly could have expected that even
their admiration for his writings would
prevent Liberals from doing their best
10 bring about his defeat either by DIS
counting the soundness Of his Judgment
I'm matters political or attempting 70
dlsproye the accuracy Of his statements.
AS a matter Of fact. Sir Arthur II az
present being taken TO task for MS
views as severely as II he were Just an
ordinary candidate, and not a distln-
guished author, an acknowledged pa
rlot. and a knight And II cannot be
said. even by an unparalleled observer,
that the creator OF Sherlock Holmes
has had the best Of II 80 far IN MS
bouts with political critics, As was
mentioned I'm these letters, when sir
Arthur who Is standing for the Hawick
Boroughs, described the condition OF
that constituency as one OF depression,
a local Liberal. newspaper pointed out
that the deposits IN the local savings
bank at HaWck last year were In eX-
cess Of those OF any previous one, add
Ing rather maliciously, that Doctor
DOYLE would have more trouble In eN-
planning this fact away than he did in
explaining the return Of sherlock
Holmes
The author, however, came back"
promptly IN letter written at the
Athenaeum club, PAN Mall, in which he
declared that he believed more money
had been deposited at Hawick for the
simple reason that the people saw hard
times ahead of them But this Is not
considered especially convincing. More
over Sir Arthur was incautlous enough.
I'm the same letter and apropos Of the
present tariff discussion, to touch upon
tho state of the WOODEN trade I'm this
country, Of which HawiCk is one ~ tho
contcrs, He remarked that Great Brit
aims export Of woolens outside the cm-
pirc was only about $500" 'I0. This
statement has been ottackC 10 yigor
by well known eX.mcmb,r It pariia-
mont who quotes the board OF trade re-
turns to show that instead Of S3j00O,OO0
worth OF woolons going outside the en-
pirc. only about half that amount Is
going to the empire, while nearly 500.
100000 worth actually Is going TO for
elRn countries Dr. Doylcs critic says.
This Is surely very serious mis-
statement on the part Of public man."

the subject Of imports recently has been

'The Literary Sense IL a col
lection OF very clever and orig
inal short stories by an author whose
work has attracted much favorable at
tenton here and in England. The
stories deal with lovers meetings, part
ings, Observation-Disclosures on reconclia-
lions, They are little tragedies or little
comedies and sometimes both. The sit
nations are strong and ingenlously con E
ceived and each tale has a turn or
twist Of It's own, There Is throughout
a quiet vein Of humor and a Hight touch
even where the situation Is strained. In
a way the stories are held together, be.

the first story-the one that gives the
book It's title

naturally, she tries 70 act as II she
