RyGONEs WORTH REMEMBERING. BY George

E. p. Dutton & Co.
Mr. Holyoake. who is now eghty-e1ght years
old, has in former work set down IN detall
the incidents of his hardworking life. In these
later volumes he gossips cheerfully and Vlgor-
ousIy without much consecutive method, of
manv of his old friends and enemies in English
politics. of some of his struggles with conserva-
tism; of battles with intrenched abuses and
of the changes for the better in the human lot
brought about since he was a boy. The record
has much to interest the student of social and
political history, and even those who have
least liking for the theories and conduct of this
longtime agitator must respect the real love of
humanity which has been at the root of them.
An agitator he was from his boyhood in an

SUNDAY, JUNE 4, 1905.

The recent reappearance in feminine fiction of
the Big Brute Hero suggests reflection on the
question, DO women understand men sufficient
ly well to build up really effective fictitious
characterT' We are inclined to think that they
do not and to call up ghosts from John Halifax
to DR.. Garth to prove the point. There is no
doubt that clever woman has sharp eye for
surface traits and for inconsistencies in the men
she studies; she can paint cad a weakling, a
kind, good fellow. But that she has ever paint
ed a brilliant portrait of a strong man, with a
mans faults and virtues and masculine intel
lect-well, we imagine that few unprejudiced
readers will bring up many instances. The
author of 'The Divine Fire. comes nearest to
putting to her credit the sort of portrayal for
which we look OF course the question may also
be asked, DO men understand women Suffi-
ciently well to draw them as they areY' Three
men have done SO, Shakespeare, Thackeray, and
Balzac And So we come round to the often
NhraShed-out statement that no woman novelist
mas ever yet displayed the highest genius As
for the lesser luminares among male noyelSts,
we will frankly confess at once that they un-
derstand women as little as their writing sis
terS understand men.
Three-fourths, at least of the silly paragraphs
which go the rounds about the popular authors
of the moment have their origin in the vanity
of the said authors. Though it is customary
to ascrbe them to the babbling indiscreton Of
the Journalists who write them, 1t would OF
course, be impossible for any of the personal
items" which make such fiat reading to get into
print if the substance of them was not freely
supplied at headquarters. The alacrity with
which writers of a certain type give out in
formation concerning their private affairs is
one of the familiar phenomena of the so-caIIed
literary iife.' But every now and then some
babbler does intrude upon matters with which
he has no right to meddle and in some in
stances the result is SO astounding as to call
for notice. For example, one of the tribe rose
up the other day to tell the world lust how q
certain early novel of Mr. Harly's found its
way into print Names were given and q nice
little paragraph of misnformation WAS sent
forth to lure some unwary biographer of the
future INTO 1naccuracy. Mr.. Hardy fortunately
saw the thing, and published q correction This
incident is exasperating enough but what shall
we say OF the literary gentleman who has taken
II upon himself to discourse in ''rhe Bystander'
on what the widow of ]. H. Shorthouse has said
III her memoir of him. concerning the way in
which John lngleSant' was written? Accord
ing TO this wiseacre 1.-The official scarcely taies

the manuscript knew of it before if WAS
printed He adds, Il have always understood
that the novel was built up from essays and
sketches read to a literary coterie in Birmfng-
ham: and L can well believe it" Indeedi Be

stands dumfounded
New-York tribune., 1905-06-04

Professor Lounsbury's paper on "The Stand
ard OF Usage" in the current number of "Har-
perS Magazine" is written for Iaymen as well
as for authors but it especially commends itself
to the latter. Usage is, for too many modern
WRITER'S simply convenient talisman excusing
Indulgence in all sorts of words or phrases
which may, perhaps, have been used by this
or that well known author, but which really re-
main on debatable ground. Now Professor
Lounsbury maintains that good usage lis some
thing TO be aScertained,' and that 1T must he
learned just as language itself is learned" Con
tinuing, he says:
There is one way and but one way of attain
ing to the end desired a theoretical accom-
pliShment, and, fortunately, it is a course open
to every one knowledge of good usa ge can be
acquired only by assOcating in life with the best
speakers or in literature with the best writer's
The latter resource is always available 1t Is
the practice and consent of the great authors
that determine correctness of speech and their
pages accessible to all.
We can hear the average dabster who is
nothing if not student of style saying with
an air of superiority, that he has heard some
thing like this before; the implication being
that he does not need such matter-of- fact ad-
vice Professor Lounsbury places at his dis
posal But how often, We wonder, does he
really take the trouble to do what Professor
IIounsbury suggests? If we may judge from
the hundreds of loosely written pages that come

e-ary forms without making any study of the
subject whatever

pains to note that IN the novels he has come
upon passages which he has met elsewhere
in another form, and to remind us that Disraeli
once delivered in Parliament as his own a fine
passage from Theirs. For Gladstone, the chron-

We have recently received from Geo.
r. freeman of Fargo, N. OAK, who will
be remembered as the son of the late Mrs.
Pauline Bachelor, a fine map of his state,
showing county and township boundaries
as well as the location of railways and
towns and the course of streams and
rivers Gu the back are printed con-
densed statistics from the report of the
Commissioner of Agriculture for North
Dakota by whom the map is issued.
This gives by counties the number Of
acres of land under cultivation, number
of miles of railroad, yield of the various
grains grown in the state, figures OF
property valuation, etc. We Judge from
the fact that 1t is issued by department
of the North Dakota state government
that an application to W. G. Gilbreath,
Commissioner, Bismark, N. OAK, would
secure copy.

COMPARATIVE RAILROAD WAGES

The wages paid railroad employees
in the countries where the state con-
trolls the railroad show that the fears
of the engineers of this country on
government rate-making or govern
ment ownership, are we'll founded.
Nowhere in the world are the wages
of railrod employees as large as the
United States. The lowest class of
galway employees in the United States
s1.31. In Germany where the govern
ment controls the railroads, the same
class of labor receive fifty-seven
cents a day. The following table
showing the comparison of wages paid
to railroad employees in this country
and in Great Britain and in Belgium,
bears out the contentious of the
engineers as expressed in the official
organ of the organization:

THEY SET HIM FREE.

Man Charged with Being Father Of
His Daughters Child Set Free in
|; kidder County.
/ Kidder Co. Republican: The pre-
|!ilminary hearing in the case of the
State VS.. G0ttfried Kelm terminated in
1.-THE discharge of the accused very
much to the surprise of the community
in general and particularly to the peo-
|fple of the immediate neighborhood
where the offense charged was COM
mitted.. The evidence showed con-
||clusively that daughter was born to
Kate Merkel, the fifteen year old
daughter of John Merkel of Rexine;
that this child is now being cared for
at the home of Gottfried Kelm, the
l:girls uncle; that Kate Merkel, the
fifteen year old victim of some mans
Iperfidy, is now in Canada and could
not be reached by this court.
| The case was brought into court on
complaint sworn out by George M.
Houge, deputy sheriff of the county,
before Justice Miller. The defendant
took change of venue and the case
then came before F. M. Padgett, the
nearest Justice
| The evidence was heard behind
closed doors, only the attorneys, Off
GERS and witnesses being in the court
room. 1t was brought out in the evil
dence that seven or eight people,
among them Kate Merkel, her two
younger sisters, Gottfried Kelm and
wife, and few younger children, oc-
cupied one small sleeping room for
some time, several months previous to
the birth of Kate's child.
The interested parties seemed little
interested in the case and while they
appeared on behalf Of the state could
fairly be classed as hostile to the
prosecution. No effort was made by
the parents of the girl to right a
grevious wrong of their own flesh and
blood on a child OF tender years, who
was protected by the laws of the
state.
/ We do not wish to criticise any one
connected with the case severely or
unjustly but will have to say that a
very liberal construction OF the statute
was made when the defendant was
turned loose.
| We hope, for the good name Of the
county that this case will not serve
as a precedent. If 1t is it so construed
1t depends on ones moral inclinations
whether this country offers the great
est inducements to immigrants or
emfgrants. . s ~H2'-

A delegation of farmers and prop

trip to Bozeman and Billings to wit
ness the results of irrigation at that

could be chosen to convince those not
familiar with irrigation, of it's benefits
than this practical object lesson. The
Northern Pacific, always interested in
the prosperity of settlers along its
line, has furnished a special car and
will transport the passengers free of
charge. The arangeemnts for the trip
were made by Hon. Alexander McKen.
zie who has interested himself in this
irrigation movement and pledges its
success. When owners of land in the
proposed irrigation belt see what is
possible with assured moisture in a
country where there is as much sun,
shine as there is in North Dakota, it
is believed there will be no doubtlers
left.
