would scarcely infer from the tone Of his MARIA
tive that ne had any special enthusiasm for
Mary, yet there is no mistakng the interest he
has felt in making her the heroine of two stout
volumes. They are not bad volumes, as Marian
literature goes nowadays, but neither have they
any notable value or charm. The author is not
a skilled portrait painter, knowing how to give
unity and vitality to an historical study. on
the other hand, he has been industrious in pre-
pairing himself for his task, and he tries to be
fair. His work is entitled to consideration as a

unimpeachable. Every historian worth his salt

that she was more sinned against than SHINING

mistakes to the evil influences amid which she
was reared. But apparently it all depends upon
your point Of view. Speaking of social morality
in Marys time he AYERS that the French court
did not "strikingly differ from other courts in
its disregard of the ancient conventions" and
that his heroine was not specially unfortunate"

The printing of many books about her charac-

Of the Stuart enchantress. Queen Mary remains
to-day what she has been for generations of
poets and scholars, inspiration and an in

sympathetically inclined toward her will rival
her warmest partsans in Jealous attempts to
unwind the tangled skein of her tragic story.
Those who write best about her are those who
love her best, but they not by any means
the only ones who get absorbed in the subject.

Mr.. II. Buxton EOrman, whose name has so
long and so hOnOraby been associated with the
literature of Keats and Shelley, has a good say
ing in the essay on the latter which he has
contributed to the London "BOOkman" In his
opinion 1.-THE first essential for a lasting poetic
reputation is that the poet should know how to
be amusing" OF course he does not use the
term in the narrow sense. 1T is not necessary"
he adds, that the poet should make us laugh
at ALL But the true poet he maintains must
keep our emotions and our intelligence enter

be sure it ought to go without saying, but it is
worth pointing out to the minor poet of our day
That devoted individual often seems to think
that the last thing in the world necessary for
him to do is to entertain his reader. Whether
he sets out to be grand, gloomy and peculiar, or
resolves to be merely gay and clever, he is apt to
forget that the reader wants something to bite
on, something humanely interesting. We get, in
stead, themes that are either hOpeleSSly remote
from our sympathies or of such trivial nature
that no amount of cleyerneSs can get Il flicker Of
emotion out Of them Even when the writer
starts with something to say he proceeds to
treat it from n literary point Of view, cOncen-
trating his attention on his dCtiOn or his
rhymes, and thus achieves a dulness which no
excellence of form can rob of its terrors. The
theme is made an excuse for a poetcal exercise :;
1t is not made to live as a thing of close signif-
canoe for the reader We suppose the average
minor poet would ScoTn to amuSe- The great
poets are not so proud

To write a book and to find a publisher for it
would seem to be the full extent Of an authors
task, but he has other troubles. If we may
Judge from an article in THE Author" by Mr..
Norwood Young, the invention Of a good title is
not the least of them How hard the task is
may be gathered from the fact, which this critic
easily proves, that many titles which have found
their way into print are sadly misleading,
Novels especially suffer from the limitations Of
their authors. Our own experience inclnes us
to say that not more than one out of a hundred
Of the innumerable novels published every year
is really well named Many authors fall back
upon the lazy expedient Of using simply the
name of the hero or heroine, but generally an
effort is made to do something startling, with
the outcome that the title has no explanatory
character whatever. Perhaps the sillieSt ten
dcncy of all has been that which, starting from
the success of a title like say, ''The Green Car
nation" has tackled meaningless terms of color
to all manner of objects In the same number
of "'The Author" by the way, Mr.. w. H. HOdg
son, abiding to the confusion caused by similari
ties in the names of authors, makes the sugges-
ton that 4 writer might do as Kipling has done
in taking an elephants head as a kind Of trade
mark. Some such totem might be printed with
all of an authors works, and, having been legal
" registered, it could be protected against imi-
tatiOn and piracy generally.

There are some delightfully."- irOnical touches
In Mr. Howell's Harper" discourse on the essay
dealing with the cOmmercialZatiOn of litera-
ture which Mr.. Holt printed in THE Atlantic
Monthly" Speaking Of the young authors no
ton that the publisher takes his book because
he loves him, he adds that "he repays the pub
fishers suppostitious passion with an undying
ardor. until some other publisher approaches
him and aienateS his affections by the offer
of a higher royalty" OF the publishers and
their desire to make money for their authors, he
says Next to themselves there is no one they
would like so much to enrich. When they see
n popular novelist rolling in his automobile they
like to think that but for them he would be
trudging beside them on foot" But we like
best Mr.. HOWell'S refusal to admit that litera-
ture can be cOmmercialized by the publisher
alone. He is emphatic on the point which we
have often made, that literature can be com
mercialiZed only when it aims to SELL by aiming
in unworthy ways to please" and it is by the
author himself that this is done Mr. HOwellS
has no illusions about the relation of authors
to the pushing" Of their books. They may
affect a polite goose flesh at the shameless adj
vertisement of their productions" he says, land
they may wish the odiUm of it to fall alto
gether upon their publishers, but they wish the
disgrace to keep on and to increase in space
and frequency. To their mighty gorge whole
pages of all the newspapers would not be too
much" This hits the nail on the head

EDITOR CONVICTED
 OF CRIMINAL LIBEL
New Orleans Newspaper Men Pay Penalty for Causing Run on Ger
 mania Savings Bank.

New Orleans, February 9.-The sensa- tional run on the Germania Sevings bank at the end of last year had its sequel to- day in the conviction for criminal libel of Peter Kiernan, the owner and editor, and Jesse Webb, the city editor of the Daily America, the newspaper which caused the furry. The paper has since suspended, largely as the result of it's loss of popularity following the attack on the bank, which was regarded as un- warranted. The America charged that Vice President Blaffer was lending the funds of the institution to a speculative planting company in which he was inter- ested, and cast doubt upon the integrity of the institution. Kiernan denied re- sponsibility at the time but admitted it when he went to trial. Louis A. Hoffman, who was business manager of the paper, having avoided trial by turning states evidence.
 The maximum penalty for the offense is 5000 fine and two years imprisonment In the parish prison. The case was ono of the first of its kind ever tried here. The run caused the withdrawal of S7o0,- GOO from the institution in two days, hun dreds of poor depositors losing their in terest accumulations The bank, how ever, is one of the strongest in the city and was unaffected by the panic
