PENALTY PAID FOR FAME.
Remuneration is Necessary for Genius
in Literature.

Why Is so much Of our present lit
erary output so unrelated to litera-
ture. so depressingly banal. so devoid
of distinction. power and vitality? Is
the answer merely that greatness is
rare in all ages, and this chances to
be a period of exceptional sterilityg
Or is il the result of the marked vul.
garity of prevailing ideals? Not only
our writer's measure success by popu-
larity. but the trend of criticism Itself
is to magnify the importance OF
wide appeal.
A high degree of excellence has
never won quick or wide applause;
witness Shakespeare, Milton. Shelley.
Keats, Browning. Swinburne. 1t can
not be too often or too emphatically
repeated that literature, real additions
TO the realms of letters. must forego
cheap successes. A difficult and de-
termlnsd withdrawal from prevailing
ideals is demanded of those authors
who would fain see English letters
reinstated in the realm of barterea
glory. Before we can have another
poet like Browning we must have
another man content to do his work
unknown for twenty years and will
/ ing to pay for his own publishing. Be
fore we have a second Tennyson we
shall have 10 have another man who
shall as well understand that there
are no cheap and quick methods Of
forcing the poetic faculty, that the best
of our thoughts come TO us in state
of wise passivity and reverent wait
ing. The superficial and deeper parts
OF our nature do not function at one
and the same time A Mary and a
Martha are not combined in their
highest powers in one personality.
Greatness demands remuneration. We
cannot flap around with the davis and
yet be an eagle with eye fixed on the
sun All really fine production. says
Harper's Weekly, demands a definite
choice and firm adhesion, and It bears
no nearer relation to popular ap
plause and liking than frog in q
swamp to nightingale in an oah
grove.

TioNAL DEVELOPMENT IN
COBB CASE AT RoYsToN, GA.

Royston, Ga, Aug. 1l.-When the
grave of State Senator w. H. Cobb,
who was hot to death on the veranda
of his home last midnight. had been
filed this afternoon an officer stepped
up to Mrs. Cobb ami arrested her on
the charge of numbering her husband.
Mrs Cobb took her arrest calmly,
but denies that she is guilty Of muir
der. though she admits that she kill
ed her husband.
Mrs. Cobb's story is that she was
awakened by noise at the window of
her room. She saw a man, and think
ing he was a robber fired twice with
a pistol. The man fell, and later she
discovered that she had killed her
husband. Mrs. Cobb also said her hus-
band was a somnambulist, and she
supposed that he was walking in his
sleep when she killed him for a bur
glar. 1t developed today, however,
that Senator Cobb was not at home
until the tragedy The senator had
been warned to watch his home, as
there was visitor in his absence
and he left Tuesday ostensibly fol-
Atlanta, but telling close friends he
would return unexpectedly at night
to see if there We're grounds for the
rumors about the visitor.
The senator arrived here few min
utes before midnight, went to his
home and was killed on the porch al
the window of his wife's room.
The theory of the state is that there
was man in the room. but the name
Of the visitor has not yet been di
| yulged.
Mrs. Cobb is a beautiful woman
much younger than the dead husband
and there has been much gossip abou
her during the frequent absences 0
