General Lew Wallace called on the
publishers in person, with his manu-
script. He explained that it was a
book which dealt with the life Of
Christ. On Mr.. Harper's remarking
that the subject was a delicate one to
treat in a novel, the author replied that
if there was anything in the story that
could offend a felloW-Christian he
would rather u off his right hand
than publish II. The manuscript was
read and accepted. but for a year sales
were slow. Suddenly they began to
grow brisker, n every veal they in

Brooklyn, now deceased, and Alfred j..

Miss Schroeder comes of one of the

Henry George, the elder. He is a

highest type, as ready TO perform a

that in contemplating it all the I'M

He seemed such a man as that dis
