Papa said it," DR.. Brady is said to
tell the story with much JUNCTION.
DR.. Cyrus Townsend Brady, who is
about to establish himself permanently
at Toledo as rector of Trinity Church,
has a Quiverful Of children in whom he
takes great delight. One Of their great

David.,Graham Phillips. author of
''The Plum Tree" was interviewed re-
Gently to the extent Of full page of
the New York Times, and among other
striking things he said was this reply
to the question Of why so many talent
ed men and women never get over the
frontier line Of promise: Because
they are afflicted with what they call
the artistic temperament. Now, the
artistic temperament is nothing but
idleness or dyspepsia. If any symp-
toms Of artistic temperament appear,
fight to the death. Work, work wheth-

else your brain as scientifically as you
do your muscles. I throw away q
whole days writing sometimes, but !
am satisfied at least I've done days
work, and it has kept my steam up,
and prevented me from rusting, lag

thing without learning something"
Rex e. Beach, author Of "Pardners,"
In addition to being literary man, is
an explorer and an athlete. He went
to Alaska at the head Of the first
rush, caused by the gold excitement,
when practically there was everything
vet to discover about the country. He
is the holder Of the indoor record Of
100 yards in swimming, the winner Of
the mile handicap swimming race at
the Olympian games in st. Louis, and
as right-tackle was for some years the
mainstay Of the Chicago Athletic Club
football team. He is distinctly to be
classed among the new humorists. His
book, "Pardners," comes from the
press of Mcclure. Phillips & Co. 1t
deals with life in Alaska and in the
West. He brings out through his
breezy and hearty-laughing characters
the lighter and more amusing side Of
existence in the North or on the cattle
plains, though now and again he hints
at the sternness and pathos of it. His
characters have a pungent and West
ern method of expression that is con-
tinual delight.
