Or they love and win and marry. and hap

have no time for either eternal regret or the
constant renewal OF an ecstasy of the past.
Love is for the sprfngtime of life; In ma

Notes of Books and Authors.

A question has arisen in England regard
ing the question Of the recognition of au-
thors by the state which cannot become
acute in this country. Some authors are
contending that the government should
more systematically encourage the eminent
men of letters by the more frequent be-
stowai Of titles among them. Others take
the view that the bestowal of titles acts as
deterrent rather. than encouragement.
The latter point out that Gilbert Parker has
done nothing notable since he was permit
ted to write Sir before his name, while
his colleagues Of the craft are going right
ahead without titles and producing their
need of meritorious work Here in the
United States no issue of this sort can
ever arise unless the republic adopts a
system of ceremonial titles. The average
author is doubtless far more anxious for
the receipt of royalties than the favor OF
royalty. That rule holds good probably in
England as well as here, and yet 1t may not
be questioned that there Is no sweeter mo-
ment in the life of a British literary man
than when he kneels at the feet of his SOW
ereign and is tapped on the head with a
sword in token of knighthood in recogni-
ton of artistic work. 1t Is to be noted that
Rudyard Kipling remains in the ranks of
the unadorned.

Law Suits in Prospect in Getting Land
at Minnehaha Tangle Grows Worse
Thru Error In Deed to the Park
Board.

In an attempt to secure possession
o. the property now occupied by the
Gardner pavilion in the Coney Island
addition to Minnehaha park, the
board Of park commissioners seems
to have precipitated a legal tangle
which will require time, money and
skill to unravel.
Thru refusal Of each side, to ac-
,ceptS the opinion of the other in re-
gard to the rightful owner Of some
advance rent, the deed to the property
was not turned over to the park board
as scheduled. On the other hand,
G. M. Lane and his attorney, Henry
Mead, notified the board that they
would consider the negotiations closed
an dthen proceeded to give A. L.
Gardner an additional ten-year lease
to the property.
Hoping to checkmate this move,
the board, thru D. P. Jones, began
negotiations with Mrs. Lincoln OF
Boston, who, for a consideration for

This deed is now in possession 1o Of The
park board: But 1t appears that a
mistake in the description was made
and all Of the lady's interest was not
conveyed.
This was discovered and another
deed with new description was. for
warded but, in the meantime, Mrs.
Lincoln had been approached by c.
M. Lane, the owner of the remainder
of the property, and had notified her
agents to stop the conveyance Of the
first deed. She consequently refused
to sign the second deed and did sign
a lease to Gardner for ten years COW
ering her fraction Of the property
excluded from the first deed.
Now Mr.. Lane. under the advice
of his attorney, takes the stand thai
the condemnation proceedings are in
validated. His contention is that this
act shows the intent Of the park board
to acquire the land by voluntary sale
The situation now looks as tho law
suits galore might result, and even
with litigation, Minnehaha might not
be rid of its chief DETACHMENT.
