HENRI MURGER,S COATS
From The Dundee Advertiser.

From The Dundee Advertiser.
pleasant incident of the penuriOUS days OF
Henri MurgeF, the author Of the famous Vie

MUrger when in the extreme Of poverty Was enc

Usher at which it of great Importance that
he should be present. Unfortunately he pos
seSsed only one suit of clothes, which was in the
last stage of shabbineSs He therefore appealed
to a friend who glOFiel in the possession of two

Old one. 1t was too small for him. and very
shiny at the seams. but by liberal use of ink
he managed to make il pass muster, and at
tended the party Unfortunately the friend was
there, too and, in great anxiety over his coat,
followed Murger about the room with such
marks as Don't stand upright You will
split my coat or For heavens sake, mind
what you are doing with that coffee. You are
splashing it all down the front Of my coat"
Shortly afterwaTd similar occasion arrived.
MurSer determined that nothing should make
him apply for the same coat. Accordingly he
went to another friend. and related the whole
circumstance This friend willingly lent him a
new black coat, which fitted admirably. But
matters were not improved after ALL for the

ILLUSTRATED SUPPLEMENT.

If there is one thing more than another which
IS of course, impossible fn journalism, it is in
dulgence i'm that phrase SO dear to mankind,
Il told you so." Otherwise, we fear we might
be irresistibIy tempted to make that exasper-
ating remark for the benefit Of those obstinate
individuals who could not be persuaded, by
even the most considerate arguments, from
taking the late William Morris as quite the
most brilliant printer I'm the modern history OF
the art. We were always ready 70 praise him
for certain technical merits and to admit that
from time to time he turned out a rather hand
some page. But we always maintained that
he went about the making of book too much
in the spirit in which he went about the design
ing of wall paper and other decorative things.
Are we assuming too much in assuming that
collectors are beginning to come around TO our
idea? At least, let the fact be noted that there
has been a slump In the market for the books
printed at the Kelmscott Press, which is enough
to make the stanchest believer in the durabil-
ity Of the Morris hypothesis pause and reflect
The other day a copy of his Chaucer was sold
at auction for S215 In 1902 a copy fetched
$780, One of the thirteen copies of the Chaucer
printed on vellum produced $500, where an
other copy had previously fetched $1,000, The
KemscOtt edition Of MOrriss own "StOry of
the GIttering Plain" has been known to sell
for as much as $50. but the copy recently put
up at auction brought only s255.

1t is remembered concerning the late jules
Verne that his early productions passed almost
unnOticed and that he had apparently aban-
dOned literature for stock brOking. But one
day he entered the BOurse, and said: my
friends, l rather fancy L am going to leave you.
have had an idea which is going to make my
fOrtune-an idea for a novel of q new kind
If it succeeds, as am sure it WILL there is a
gold mine to be worked. / shall go on writing
novels, while you will go ON dealing in stocks
and shares, and it is / who shall grow rich
the fastest" The brokers laughed skeptically
but Five Weeks in n Balloon" cured their
6keptcism. The anecdOte suggests a CONNER
cal ambition, and no one can deny that Jules
Verne was, among other things, good bust
ness man. He knew how to make the best Of
his wares. The story has lately been recalled
Of his insstence upon having d'Ennery and no
other playwright dramatize Round the World
fn Eighty Days" and tke success Of the venture
proved that he was right that he had a fair
for the profitable way of doing things. But it
is interesting to reflect that at the very mo-
ment when he was talking to his fellow brOk-
ers, like the shreWdeSt of company promoters,
he was using his pen with the absolute good
faith of born literary artist. No doubt he
failed to achieve consummate literary art No
body reads Jules Verne for style But the rea-
son why he has been read and will continue
to be read by thousands, young and old, is
that he wrote with an almost naive sincerity;
spun his yarns not simply to make a fortune
but for the sake of spinning them

The publication of George Gissing's Vera

Not long ago we mentioned the minor poet
who was UP In arms because heartless review
ers treated his work, not as poetry, but as mi
nor poetry Now ii is a certain "wen known
novelist who has risen up to protest because
a daily paper has thOughtleSSly treated his fic-
ton alternately with scOrn and praise. The
editor of THE Academy" has an explanation,
saying:
While novelist Is building up his reputation
his works seldom fall In the way Of the SeVereSt
critics, who have a prejudice against what they
are pleased to consider Improbable reading,
and are able with limits to pick and choose
these novels are allotted to the younger review
ers, who are often disposed to take Macaulay's
genial view that there is no such thing as a bad
novel, though some novels are better than
others. In due course, however when the nov
elist has made something OF a name, the critic
with the higher standards does come to the
consideration of his case, and the con-
sequences are not invariably agreeable TO him.
That is a very courteous explanation, and
naturally we all want TO be courteous to
person as important as the modern novelist is
known to be- But we wish he would not worry
so about the things that are said concerning
his portentOus works. Somehow, when we con-
slider how very absurd the modern novelist
often cOntriVes to be, we cannot help remem-
bering the retOrt which Whistler made when
one of his foes accused him of misrepresenting
what he (the fOe) had written. '"The Lord will
forgive my garblng Tom TaylOr's copy" quOth

ANlLlNE AND COPPER FOODS

BY authority of the government, large lot of
poisoned canned goods, recently imported will be Of
fered for in the American market reduced rates
That rather extraordinary statement is explained
thus: When the law took effect prohibiting the importa-
ton of harmfully doctored foods the government
horities at condemned large quantity, such as
Jams colored with anine dyes, peas made highly green
with copper, etc.
But the importers claimed that the goods so seized
should be exempt from the operation Of the law be-
cause they ordered before its passage The claim
was allowed and the goods restored to the Inn
porters with the agreement that they might be sold
provided every package labeled with statement of
all ingredients and the proportions of each
The placing Of these doctored goods upon the market
each can telling Its anine and copper secrets will set
tie one point that has been Vigorously argued by
domestic manufacturers Of such preparations. That is
the claim is made that foreign goods of that class sell
more readily than the domestic kind In markets
because of the handsome coorng with poisonous chem
icas Domestic packers have not been allowed to beau
tfy their jams peas the like with chemicals hence
their complaint
The bargain lot OF doctored suffs TO be offered
will AFFORD a test Of the question whether American
buyers really prefer to anine dyes and copper 1t
is fairly say the test will not bear the
claim Of the domestic packers when buyers read the
labels the doctored goods.

stop the importation OF all foreign foods and drinks
that are made alluring by harmful authorizations, and

THE TOUGHEST OF PROBLEMS

Rider Haegard has finished the work for the British
government which incidentally caused HIS visit to Los
Angeles few weeks ago. That work a close per.
sonal Investigation Of the Salvation Armys coonizing
methods in the United states. Mr. Haggard has made
his report home and the gist Of It's salient features
has been published
The report is interesting to American readers, as
we'll to those Of Great Britain because It's author
found conditions this country quite like those pre-
valing in his native land
The general result Of Mr. Haggard's Investigation
is expression Of confidence in the practicability Of
colonization very large scale. He says;
ITO relieve our congested cities and colonize the
empty depopulated lands a work the British en-
pire should undertake for it's general good. 1t
win not lose by the venture and the gain in every direc
ton will be great"
He is so sanguine Of success in this plan that he
declares HIS purpose to devote the remainder OF his
life to humanitarian work of this character.
Nothing is more simple theoretically and nothing
more difficult practically, than successful colonization
Of the kind which Rider Haggard is promoting-that Is
the relief of congesed city population by transpantng
considerable element in distant agricultural settle
mens. The experiment has been tried several times
in ways by phlanthropiss in eastern cities
In recalled the experiments sue
cessful. The reported success of the Salvation Army
cannot be regarded as criterion whereby to gauge
such effort, the army is religion institution and
its soldiers usually of the class that
gestion in the big cities.
There two fundamental difficulties in the way of
such colonization as Mr. Haggard is undertaking,
demonstrated in large American cities. First it is al
most impossible to induce the city tenement
house dweler to leave the human hive which he calls
home, and it is still harder to keep him away from it.
The hive is all right in his estimation because he
has known anything better. He sings with as much
guso as the dweller in mansion, "Be It hum
BILE, there is place like home"
Another basic difficulty is the fact that the inhab-
itant of city hive knows nothing whatever of farm
life has neither liking aptitude for It. Put him
on farm and he is discontented. He longs for the
crowded tenement, in which he such faults
people of higher level see, and he is unhappy until
he gets back into the old rut
That is the general experience Of phianthropsts
who have expended vast of money in efforts to
induce city hive dweers to betake themselves to the
sunlight the fresh air and the ample room of the
country.

which Miss Leontine Denker. daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. L. A. Denker of 22S

Miss Florence Scatena, sister of the
bridegroom, and the best man was
George ]. Giannini, brother. The
bridal gown was of white meSsaline
and veil was worn by the bride.
Her bouquet was of bride roses. Her
maid was gowned in pink with a pic
ture hat and bouquet to match. Little
Miss Cecilia Mclaughlin was dainty
flower girl. and groomsmen were DIR.
