then portrays his sitter with an abundance of
legitimate detail Though. when writing OF
Macready and Rachel. he has to pause more
than once upon modifying traits. he is. in both

theatrical history. are nevertheless eager 10
learn something of that life which lies be-

Within the brief compass of a scant hundred
pages Sir Theodore gives a singularly vivid
count OF the personality and career of David
Garrick. following the great actor literally from
the cradle 10 the grave. and yet including i'm
the record nothing that is trivial Thus he does
well TO sketch those days of the actors youth
in which hard experience taught him the prac-

vaguely that the stage was his destiny. and he
found 1t hard to settle down in the wine business
which he and his brother thought they could
carry on in London He left it, indeed at the
earliest opportunity. But it was not with the

which fixed him once for all in the theatrical

Periodically some one arises in England TO
reprOach his countTymen for not having estab-
lished an Academy of Literature. All sorts of
it has been left TO Mr.. Francis Gribble to point
out that there are, or ought TO be, sound finan-
cial possibilities in the academic idea He has
been looking into the report of the Perpetual
Secretary of the French Academy and he gath
ers that there are awarded, under the auspices
of that institution. eighteen annual, five bien-
NAL. nine triennial and four quinquenniaI lit
erary prizes The annual awards alone diSDOse
of a rough total of $4,000. 1t makes Mr. Crib
bles mouth water and, looking sadly over the
situation in his native land, he protests that
where there is no Academy, literature either
does not get endowed NJ ALL or only gets en-
dOwed in a clumsy and ineffective fashion. 3"
The Royal Literary Fund does not reward
merit; il only relieves distress. What Mr. Crib
bic wants is something that will encourage n

for the benefactons of wealthy persons who
want TO do some thing for literature instead of

Now, we really know it, According to Mr.
Charles Marriott, Mr. Henry James "alone
among the greater contemporary writers of fic-
tiOn looks upon life entirely without prejudice"
This explains, at last the secret of MIR. James's
esoteric authority. He is content, it seems. to
take life as he finds il. That is surely very
wise. There have been writer's before him."
Mr.. Marriott sagely continues, with the same
freedom from prejudice; to take names at ran
dom, there were Smollett Fielding and Jane
Austen-the great Realists-but momentary con-
sideratiOn will reveal striking difference be-
tween their realism and that of Mr. James"

with scarcely mOmentary consideration, a very

with these writers. But there is no one like

that fell and took root four miles
from where they started and about two
miles wide. A Mr.. Wicklund, living
about four miles from my home, had
field of two acres grown up to these
big bush thistles as thick as they
could possibly grow. He came to me,
saying he heard I got rid of the this
ties on my land. l told him how |
did it. He did not understand the
making of those tools, or anything
about moon signs; said the roots were
in the ground and not in the moon,
SO I told him to go home, take sharp
grubhoe, cut off the tops of the this
ties and foXgloves, and put some salt
on top of the roots as soon as he cut
them off, while the root was bleeding.
He got hostile and asked if I took
him for big fool. l said | did not
and asked how much one teaspoonful
of salt was worth, and if it would
bankrupt him to try it. Just go
home and try it on one thistle roo+.
If in three days afterwards you can
not pull that root out of the ground,
wilted like a piece of salted pork,

coming to me about it," His son be-
ing present, went home and took some
salt with him to the field and operated
on six roots. The third day he pulled
the roots out of the ground and
showed them to his father. That con-
vinced him, and the son went to town
and bought 50-pound sack of dairy
salt, and destroyed all the thistles,
docks and foxgloves on the two acres
and other fields. His neighbors, see
ing what he had done with little
salt that would not poison or damage
anybody, followed suit, and they all
thanked me kindly for it. Finally,

and my hired man cut off all those
thistles at the crown of the plant.
None lived after that, and I saved
my oats. The tools made were new

and sawed deep enough to let in the
point of an old scythe, long enough
to leave six inches to the left of the
handles for the cutting work. I put
the cutter in the saw scarf, riveted
the lower end of the handle down
tight on the cutter, then drilled two
holes through both and riveted both.
Others of my neighbors who had
sowed some of the same seeds allowed
that I was one of the worst fooled
men to think that move would kill
thistles. They let their fields go, and
turned their stock into the field in
the fall-but see the millions of seeds

neighborhood, which it did. In Oc-
