LITERARY WORKS Or JOHN HAY

The country approves of John Hays
selection of his literary executor. The
work of preparing the former states
mans papers for publication was be-
queathed by him to his daughter, Mrs.
Payne Whitney, who was Miss Helen
Hay. She has Inherited much of the
high literary talent of her father and
has been q frequent contributor to the
leading periodicals of both prose and
verse. 1t will be her pleasant duty to
prepare for publication the many un-
printed manuscripts from Mr.. Hay
facile pen.
Mrs. Whitney's first published vol
ume of her own was collection or
poems which appeared in 1898. Quite
lately, and principally through the in
| fuence of her children, she has col
lected a series of charming stories for
little folks. Many of these have at
tracted critical attention through their
easily recognized smack of childhood's
| hours. AS possible explanation OF
how she was able to portray things so
genuinely from the childish standpoint
she has said that she has endeavored
| always when writing them to bark
| back to the scenes of her own child
hood. and to assist her recollection and
imagination she has thrown herself on
the floor with pencil and tablet, getting
as near actually as possible to the
, youngsters point of view.
At the National Capital Miss Hays

is very pretty. There
is a big square alcove window, but

Washington is city of such mag
nificent distances that people who
could otherwise afford to build in the
suburbs are obliged to move into apart
ments i'm order to be near enough to
their Offices to insure punctuality in
business hours. In addition. for some
unaccountable reason, property even on
'he outskirts of the capital is by no
means cheap.
Chicago has a passion for fiat life
md sly-scrapers. Even San Francisco,
the city of shingles. is turning her
streets into canyons Of brick and NOR
tar.
The American traveller who asks
"why" of the monotonous streets of
Berlin, Paris, Vienna, Madrid. that
stretch between endless walls broken
only by window or fantastic balcony,
may find the answer in the changing
character of his ewn oities-saving of
space, money, time.

square-built Ts}aces of Vienna and
Budapest. The Russian suffers no
inconsistencies here are the narrow
streets Of st. Petersburg and Moscow.
Only the native American, with his
lungs full of country air, and his mind
filled with the picture of sunny, cot
tage-lined village streets, stiles in the
dust and noXious gases, gapes wonder
struck at the sky-scrapers.
Fit Only for Paupers and MiIIionaires
1t is these new Corners, too, who do
their share toward changing the APP
pearance of the city. Wherever they
congregate, and the migratory impulse
seems to CARRY them no further than
the foreign sections of the cities in
which they land, they make life intol-
cradle for the American-born, and thus
drive out the moderately prosperous
from the less expensive localities, until
il is only the paupers and the million
aires who can afford to live in New
York.
Seven thousand dollars q year for an
apartment in New York is not, by any
means, the highest price. There arc
buildings on Fifth. Park, and Madison

in which some of the apartments rent
for $4,000 a year. Yet, with the ex-
ception of Fifth avenue which runs
along the east side Of Central Park.

if he could have lived to see the day

Federal control of a yellow fever
epidemic with such enthusiasm that
the citizens themselves would raise by
popular subscription the money to pay
for it as was recently done. General
Butler established Federal control of
sanitation as of everything else in New
Orleans during the war. He was
roundly abused for it. but he proved
the efficacy of cleanliness and strict
quarantine in preventing yellow fever.

Throughout the correspondence the
two old people remembered each other

then it was arranged that they should
be married. Mrs. MOir, siXty-three
years old, started West to meet her fu-

received two kilograms, one that he
was very sick, and as she was prepar-

came saying that he was dead. The

STORY OF An OLD LOVE.
The Romantic History ofTwo Sweet
hearts of the Long Ago Who Dis
covered Each Other Only to
be Separated.

The echo Of an old Virginia romance
comes from Omaha, where Mrs. Leila
Moir, OF Lynchburg, Va, has been pros
trated over the news that the sweet
heart OF her youth, whom she has not
seen for half century, but to whom
she was ell route to be married, had
died suddenly, where the marriage was
to have taken place upon her arrival.
Before the war, down in Lynchburg.
Va, Leila Saunders was one of the
bellies, while Charlie Clay was one of
the best matches" in the country. The
two had been sweethearts from their
childhood and were engaged to be mar
ried. But lovers quarrel occurred
and young Clay went West and never
wrote home.
In 1862, Miss Saunders married. her
husband leaving the following day for
the war, and three months later his
dead body was brought home.
Husband Was a Mason.
But her husband had been a Mason,
and last February the Lynchburg Ma
sonic lodge was asked by the Elmo
lodge of Washington State to furnish
information concerning Miss Leila
Saunders. Shortly after. Mrs. Moir re-
ceived a letter from the friend of her
childhood. Charlie Clay.
He told of his wanderings through
the West and his final settlement in the
State of Washington. where fortune
had favored him with great financial
success. He had married, raised a
family and had finally lost his wife.
But he had kept the memory of his
Virginia sweetheart-his first love-and
he had carried her photograph during

writes convincingly in the "Philistine"
that the parcels post would be a SPLEEN
