Gree a WelI-known Journalist ard
Author in This Country.

Mr.. LafcadiO Hearn, the Well-knoWn
author died at Toxic, Sept. 26. of heart
trouble. His funeral occurred Sept.
80.
Mr.. Hearn's family history is ro-
mantle He was the son of an Irish
father and n Greek mother, the former
a surgeon in the English army. having
married a beautiful maiden of one Of
the Ionian Isles where he CHANGED to be
stationed. 1t was not without a
struggle that the gallant young Irish
man won his bride, for a jealous rival
attacked him one night, wounding him
almost mortally, so that for days DR..
Hcarn hung between life and death.
Two sons We're born to the couple, Laf-
cadio being the younger.
When still child ne was sent to
rela tiycs in Wales. and was educated
with a view to his entering the Catho-
lie priesthood. but when nearing man
hood he realized that the church was
not his vocation. In spirit of ad-
venture he left home and came to this
country, experiencing at first the
chance and change of rowing life"
| From the East, where his occupation
had been proof-reading. he drifted to
| Cincinnati, and there az a reporter
! took his first steps in journalism. Find
ing, after stay of some duration, that
the climate WAS too severe for his
| health, he went to New Orleans and
engaged in newspaper work there.
Becoming greatly interested in creole
life and customs he issued a book,
"Gombo Zhebes," compilation of
quaint sayings and proverbs in the diff
foront creole patois. He contributed
TRANSACTIONS from the French to the
New Orleans Democrat before it was
merged with the Times, and continued
this work after the consolidation of the
two papers into the Times-Democrat
when he became a member Of the edi-
tcria. staff. He was the first one on
this side Of the water to render Pierre
Lofts works into English. He was.
in fact, wonderfully gifted as lin
guist. the acquisition of foreign
tongue being child's play to him.

He Who Knows a Book.

With staff in hand and dusty shoon,
walked from morning till high nooni
Then rested for little while
Upon the green grass by brook,
Anc with a morsel and a book
Forgot me many a mile.
And then upon my way I strobe
With bending back beneath the load,
Until the night beset my way
With cheerful thought on song and tale.
And so | fare by hill and vale.
Contented day by day.
For he who knows a book to read
May travel lightly without steed
And find sweet comfort on the road.
He shall forget the rugged way,
Nor sigh for kindly company.
Nor faint beneath his load.
