gains, the gains per pounds of feed,

GREATNESS.
Why There Are No Great Men of
Letters.

Why There Are No Great Men of
Letters.
Harper's Weekly: Why is so much
of our present literary output so un-
related to literature, 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 excep-
tional sterility? Or is it the result of
the marked ~vulgarity of prevailing
ideals? Not only our writer's measure
success by popularity, but the trend of
criticism Itself is TO magnify the inn
portance of a wide appeal. A high de-
gree of excellence has never won quick
or wide applause; witness Shake.
speare, Milton, Shelley, Keats, Brown
ing, Swinburne. 1t cannot be too often
or too emphatically repeated that lit
erature, real additions to the realm of
letters, must forego cheap successes.
A difficult and determined withdrawal
from prevailing ideals is demanded of
those authors who would fain see Eng
fish letters reinstated in the realm of
bartered glory. Before we can have
another poet like Browning we must
a v another man content TO do his
work unknown for twenty years and
willing To nav for his own publishing
Before we have a second Tennyscn we
shall have to have another man who
shall as well understand that there are
no cheap and quick methods of fore
ing the poetic faculty, that the best OF
our thoughts come TO us in a state of
wise passivity and reverent waiting.
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

remuneration. We cannot flap round
with the DAVIS and yet be an eagle
with eye fixed on the sur. All really
fine production demands a definite
choice and firm adhesion, and 1t bears
no neare- relation to popular applause
and liking h a a frog in a swamp to
a nightingale in an oak grove.

There are l6 civil suits and six crim- inal cases to occupy thel attention of the district court for the present term in addition to whatever the grand jury might bring up for the court.
 The principal cases iu point Of inter- est that are pending are the suits against those who are accused of cut ting timber from government land and of buying timber so cut. These cases were postponed until the present term of court from the July term. There are three cases, the plaintiff in each in- stance being the United States and the defendants being Charles Nye and the Northwest Light & Power Company, The Alaskan & Northwestern Territor- ies Trading Company and J. Bernard Moore, doing business as the Moore Wharf Company, and the Alaskan & Northwestern Territories Trading Con- pany and William Leslie.
 An other interesting case is the suit of E. O. Peterson against the Moore townsite people to compel the latter to exchange a deed for the lot at the corner of State street and Fourth avenue for mortgage, the latter to be dated from the time the townsite people were ten dered the mortgage rather than from January 20, 1902, and to continue for two years. This case is similar 10 the one tried at the last term of the court in which Jacob Perl was the plaintiff, The case was won by Perl. These suits test a difference of opinion as to the construction Of the agreement that was entered into between the Moore town site people and the citizens of Skagway at the time the latter dropped their protest 10 the application of the former for 8 townsite patent. The plaintiffs claim that the Moore townsite people under the agreement are required to make an actual tender of a deed for each parcel of land in the tOwnsite and that the claimant for the land has two years after that time in which to pay the agreed price, 25 per cent Of the assessed valuation for 1900.
 There are three divorce cases on the docket, Hannah c. Lundquist against Elmer Lundqist; Frank L. Cochran against Catherine Cochran and Char lotte Kaute-te against Sam Kaute-te.
 Other civil cases are those of M. W. Lane against T. R.. Sewell; w. B. Glafke Company, Company, of Tacoma, against Charles Martin; W. H. Spencer against Tom yaleur; Reuben Shearer against c. T. Alexander; George Clark against J. M. Tanner and Orise Ronkendorf against John L. Gage & Go.
