LIGHTS IN LITERATURE.

The first volume of the unpublished
writings of the late Theodore Mommsen
has been prepared for publication by
Prof Otto Hcrsenheld, the literary ex-
ecutor of the deceased historian.
Rider Haggard is best known In
America as a writer of startling roman
ces, but in his own country he is recog-
nized as an earnest student of the great
problem of the poor. For years the au-
thor has been laboring for the develop
ment of the agricultural side of English
life as a means of relieving the congest-
ed conditions of large cities.
Anthony Hope. the British novelist
and playwright was educated for the
law, but says himself in his droll way
that he failed to make living at his
profession and had to turn to writing in
self defense. He declares that in all his
life of AZ years there has not come one
incident that is worth telling-he has
just lived the average life of an Eng
lish gentleman"
1t will probably seem strange to some
that John Hay in his later life was in
clined to be rather ashamed of Little
Breaches" and Jim Bludso" the two of
his poems that have always been the
most widely quoted. Similarly James
Russell Lowell was rather ashamed in
his declining years of the "Bigelow Pa
pers." which many regard as his most
original and effective work, and Minis
ter Phelps never liked to be quoted as
the author of that immortal poem about
Essex Junction.
William Dean Howells has some en-
couraging words to say to young as
pirants for literary honors. There is
room for good story of any kind" he
said, recently. Although an editor
governs his judgment by what his read
ers have liked before, often rejecting
something they would like much better.
no good thing in story ever remains
unpublished. Some one will read it, feel,
its truth and print it if it is true" But
he goes on with a word of advice. 81 do
not believe anyone can write a novel
with rare exceptions. until he has lived
at least 80 years in experience of the

when he noticed that two boys had
fallen off a swimming raft and were in
danger of being drowned. Mr. Rob

take off his clothing, grabbed the boys
by the hair as they were going down

them to the surface, great was his
surprise to find they were his own
children.
