SIENkIEWTcZ in AMERlCA.-Reat

SIENkIEWIcZ in AMERlCA.-Read-
ers of literary gossip may have forgotten,
tho it was made known at the time of the
great success Of "Quo Vadis," that
Henryk Sienkiewicz spent some time in
this country. He was; one Of a little band
of Polish patriots, among whom were
Nine. Modjeska and her husband, Count
Bozenta, who bought a ranch in Califor-
MIA and started what might be called a
Polish Brook Farm. It was a co-opera
tive society, but as all it's members were
geniuses, it suffered for want of practical
management. Sienkiewicz did not stay
very long in this country, but went back
to Poland, where he published a few short
stories with America as their background.
| "On the Field Of Glory" just published,
is, however, his first complete novel for
six years, and the fact that second large
printing was required before thes date of
publication indicates that he has not lost
his hold on the American reading public.

Advocates Of the simple life are sor-
rowful at Washington. The household Of
Perry Belmont in Scott circle Is like a
dream Of feudal Europe. There are six
liveried f1unkies in vivid red satin as to
the neither limbs and gray and buff of
coat and waistcoat. Two stand like the
Horseguards at Whitehall in London, Just
under the arch of the portecochere. Two
others are placed at the front door. When
the visitor finally penetrates into the
mansion there are. two others to point out
the road to the reception chamber.

When competition began, in
1894, there was literally not a
farm house in the country that
was connected with a telephone
exchange; and, perhaps, it is no
exaggeration to say that there
was not a farm house that had a
telephone. The Bell company de-
clined absolutely to construct or
establish farmers exchanges or
to build farmers lines. The best
that a farmer who desired con-
nection with the nearest town
could do was to rent two instru-
ments at 500 a year and build
and maintain his own line. When
a farmer wanted the telephone
people to build a line out to his
place, he was compelled to guar
antee tolls amounting to at least
$500 a year. Naturally, under
such conditions, the farmer was
cut off from telephone commune
cation, and that meant from the
world, as he understands it to-
day. Now farmer can buy a
telephone outright for from five
dollars to sixteen dollars, accord
ing to quality, and he and his
neighbors can build their own
line.

claims and he will be satisfied.
