Literary Coincidences.

How strange are literary coinci-
dences occasionally is illustrated in the
case Of Thackeray and Dumas. Thack-
cray says: II came near writing a book
on the same subject, Les Trois Nous
Quetaires,' and taking NJ. d'Artagnan
for my hero. D'Artagnan was a real
character of the age Of Louis XIV. and
wrote his own memoirs. l remember
picking up a dingy copy of them on an
old bookstall in London, price s%ixpence,
and intended to make something of it.
But Dumas got ahead Of me. He snaps
up everything" A coincidence quite as
remarkable occurred with Sir Conan
Doyle for central figure. He learned
while spending a holiday in a mountain
inn In Switzerland that during the Win
ter months for some reason two men
remained in occupation. For four or
five months they were isolated from
the rest Of the world. Suppose one Of
them went mad or committed suicide
or The possibilities were endless. He
forthwith determined to embody the
idea in a story. On his way home he
happened to pick up a book Of tales by
Maupassant. There in it, under the
title, "L'Auberge," he found himself
forestalled in every particular.

Trousers "a Passing Fashion.

1t may not be known that the ia
miliar sOutane or cassock Of a Catholic
priest was the garment habitually
worn by all gentlemen up to compare
lively recent times. though it was not
always necessarily black. There is a
portrait Of Dante wearing one Of in
step length, made on an unnistakable
"sun ray" pattern. And long gowns
were not confined to gentlemen. The
habit Of a Franciscan friar was the
garment worn by the shepherds Of
Umbria in st. Francis time and prob
ably for centuries before and after it.

THE r
Why Railroads Make No Protest
Against the Steel Trust.

There must be some agreement be-
tween the railroad managers and the
steel trust for a rakeoff, or the rail
roads would never be so lamblike and
submit to being robbed on the steel
rails and other steel products they buy
without strong protest. Here is the
Pennsylvania railroad, for instance.
contracting for 10000 tons Of steel
rails at the price the trust sets Of sos
per ton. That costs the stockholders
Of that railroad about 81 300, 900 more
than If there was no tariff, the tariff
on steel rails being 1874 per ton and
the price in England being $50 a ton
or less for such a large order.
The consume in the end pays this
tax. for the railroads get the money
back OF their rates or freight and pas
sengers, and the $1,000, 900 tariff tax
that the Pennsylvania railroad will
pay-which the government does not
receive, but the steel trust collects-is
added to the cost of living. which all
pay their share Of. When you come to
think that all other railroads are pay
ing the am tax to the steel trust, the
cost to the American people is enor-
nous.

Let's the Other Fellow Worry.

'"The president does not worry" says
a friend of his. OF course President
Roosevelt does not worry. Why should
he? He lets the other fellow pace the
floor and fret. He has Il good income
besides his salary and has everything
at his command to make life desirable.
The fellow who worries is the mar
with the limited income, who feels the
full force Of trust high prices without
the corresponding increase OF the
wherewith to pay his bills.
The great majority Of the American
people have cause to worry. They pay
the tariff and trust tax that protection
o American industry allows he ia
vored few to plumber them Of, and they
also pay the unreasonable railroad
rates with no redress. h farmer,
the small tradeSmen and the working
men and their families are the ones
who worry, and as long as the present
system is continued they Will find no
relief.

SHIP 8UBslDY A
Republican ID Determined to
AdvG cate Corrupt Scheme.


There is pretty good evidence that
the grafters have not given up hope Of
passing a ship subsidy bill through the
coming congress. Many Republican
statesmen have been taking a. trip to
Europe during tie summer, and sea
breezes seem to have had the exhilarat-
Ing effect of making some Of them
more than eve callous to public opin-
ion, which is so utterly opposed to sub
sides in any form and especially the
particular subsidy sought by the steam
ship trust.
One of the subsidy hunters is Sen
ntor Lodge, the warm personal friend
and close political adviser of President
Roosevelt. The secret conference at
Sycamore Hill on political matters in
Guided Senator Lodge, and, though it is
intimated that the principal topic dis,
cussed was restitution of that part of
the Republican corruption fund wrung
from the widows and orphans now or
hereafter dependent upon the New
York Life and other insurance com
panies, yet ship subsidy may have been
talked over also.
1t is known that the Republican ma
chine in Massachusetts is beset with
dangers this fall from foes within the
organization and that nothing but an
ample campaign fund may save it
from destruction. If the machine
breaks down, the chauffeur, Senator
Lodge, is in great danger. Perhaps the
steamship trust has offered to supply
the campaign fund to repay the e n
ator for his support of a subsidy bill.
It will be remembered that when the
Republican party was in great straits
in the congressional election of 1898
the subsidy hunters came to the rescue
and saved the day. In return for this
corruption fund the late Senator Han
ma strove hard to pass a ship subsidy
bill through congress and did succeed
in passing it through the senate.
There must be some overpowering
influence that compels the resuscitation
Of the ship subsidy question at this
time. What it is will probably de-
velop later. Certain questions insist
emily suggest themselves, says the
Providence Journal, when Senator
Lodge, turning from the live topics of
the time, enters upon an elaborate ad-
vocacy Of the discredited policy Of ship
subsidies. One searches in vain through
his long speech before the Essex club
for any new argument in support Of
the exploded subsidy theory, just as
n would search in vain for any new
argument on the other side. The whole
question has been discussed over and
over again in every possible aspect.
The subject is as dry as thrice thrashed
straw. Why should the Massachusetts
senator, whose knowledge, Of course,
protects him from any personal de-
fusion in this matter, attempt thus to
resuscitate what has been supposed to
be a dead issue? 1t must be with po-
litical purpose rather than from eco
nomic conviction that he speaks. Can
it be that the Republican party, with
whose leaders he is supposed to be in
close touch, after having discreetly
shelved subsidy propositions without
number, Is now to attempt to pass q
subsidy bill? That would be folly
indeed, for a party that in the congress
sional elections of next fall is likely tc
be handicapped enough by responsi.
bility for things undone."
