The Optic has heard some criticism
OF the first story published OF the
Watrous flood on the score that cred
II was not given to the proper par
ties. The gentleman who furnished
the initial story to The Optic made a
special trip to the city on a work
train for the sake Of furnishing Optic
readers with the first reliable account
Of the havoc OF the flood at Watrous.
With serious trouble at home and a
number of matters OF local impor-
lance to be investigated. the story
was taken with the greatest haste
late In the afternoon. Some state
ments were somewhat misunderstood,
especially that Of horses being swum
into the flood. The first gentleman
to make a protest was the one who
furnished the story. He said that he
had been given credit in the matter
that he did not merit. that he had
done what he could, but that his part
lay In taking Mrs. Keyes across the
bills to Watrous and he had not been
present when the stephens family
was taken out. This statement Is
published now because OF the DISPOSE.
tion OF some OF those who at a time
like this seek a chance for carping
criticism and for the opportunity that
affords for the statement that The
Optic appreciates much more the at
titude of the gentleman. who in a
time OF stress took the trouble to
come to Tho Optic office with n story,
than 1t does the position Of those who
rendered gratuitous advice relating TO
the subject at a later date.

The AUGUST McCIure's.

McClure's midsummer fiction number
for August is simply marvel of modern
magazine making. In past years Nc
Cures has made a great record with its
fiction numbers, but the issue of this
year surpasses all others. In both text
and illustration it fixes the standard of
excellency. The stories, without except
ion, are gems of their kind and serve
admirably to illustrate how far the Amer
lean short story has been perfected.
The number opens with novelette, of
child life by Frances Hodgson Burnett,
whose Little Lord Fauntleroy" has been
generally voted the most wonderful
child story ever written. This is the
story of a little girl, and to it Mrs.
Burnett has brought all the charming
fancy of her earlier efforts. 1t is most
beautifully and sympathetically illus
trated in colors by Jessie Wilcox Smith.
No mention of this number would be
complete without comment on the beau
tiful work of its illustrators. Jessie
Wilcox Smith has done the cover and
frontispiece, besides the illustrations
for Mrs. Burnett's story, in colors. A.
B. Frost, Karl Anderson, Thomas
Fogarty, Maud and Genevieve Cowles
William Jordon, Reginald Birch, and
May Wilson Preston all make interesting
and artistic contributions to the attrac.
tive picture list, completing most har.
monious and altogether charming magi.
