HENRY MILLS ALDEN TALKS
OF THE EARLY "HARPER'S
WEEKLY"

1t was in the winter of 1868 that
/ became editorially associated
with the WEEKLY. Mr.. Curtis,
whose social and political para
graphs had for some time appear
ed under the caption of "The
Lounger," was given full posses
sion and control of the editorial
columns of the paper at the same
time that | undertook what might
be called the general editorship-
the selection of stories and poems,
the summarizing of domestic and
foreign news, and poems, the sum-
marizing of domestic and foreign
news, and the comment to accom-
pany the Illustrations. My prede-
cessor, John Bonner, gentleman
of literary tastes, had become en-
crossed in Wall Street affairs to
such an extent that he felt obliged
to give his undivided attention to
them. He had never attached
much Importance to that encour-
agement of American literary con-
tributors which can only be given
through careful reading of the
matter submitted by writer's
whose best efforts had been stimu-
lated to rivalry by the frst-class
fiction then being published in the
MONTY and WEEKLY. Mr.. Bon
ner was content to order short
stories from writer's like Nora
Perry and a few others who had
proved successful in that field.
Hitherto perhaps this policy had
not been so harmful as it was
now sure to be, if continued.
The war itself had been a fresh
inspiration to older writer's and
was awakening new talent of a
high order. Miss Constance Fen
more Wcolson in after-years
wrote me: "The war was the ro-
nance of my life" 1t wound have
been a fatal mistake on the part
of any editor not to take note of
this emergence of new writer's who
were to furnish to American peri
Odical literature it's most distinc-
tive and interesting features.
And at that time these writer's
were producing poetry and stories
which, in hue and texture, were
parcels and portions of that won
drOus wartime.
What impresses me most in the
paper to-day is it's pithy and lum-
nous comment on every feature
of contemporary interest, and the
many-sided mirror which its illus
trations hold us to us, rejecting
every phase OF our progressive
American life. The striking incl
dent is not los t sight of in this
presentation, but the main current
and it's ever-changing drifts-that
is the great and permanently in
teresting theme | note also that
the fiction-whether short story
or serials now, as it has been
from the beginning, representative
of the best imaginative work of the
time, the vivid and harmonious
complement of what, in every
other field, the WEEKLY is doing tc

Bone and Meat for Poultry

The development of the poultry and
egg business is something simply won
derful The fact is coming to be
known that if poultry can have clean
warm, well ventilated home, with plen-
ty of sunshine and the right kind of
food, they will usually lay. During
the extremely cold months it is very
essential that they have the stimulat-
ing, strengthening nourishment afford
ed by green cut bone. Carroll S. Page
of Hyde Park, Vermont, is probably the
largest producer of green cut bone
and meat i'm the United States and he
will send a 200 pound barrel to any
)ne on receipt of $3.50 and will pre-
1ay the freight to any railroad station

Green Cut Bone the Cheapest
pnnltrV Ennd

The problem of finding a cheap poul-
try food that will increase egg-produc-
ton during the winter when eggs are
high has been solved by those farmers
who purchase Green Cut Bone for their
Poultry. G. S. Page of Hyde Park, Vt,
grinds many thousand pounds annual
ly of this article and is this year sell
ing it for $3.50 per barrel of 200 pounds
freight prepaid to buyers railroad
station. There is now no necessity for
going without this staple Poultry Food.
If YOU cannot use a barrel yourself,
get some of your neighbors to join in
with you. You will find it valuable
egg producer.

MRS. JULIA A. CHILD DIES
SUDDENLY.

This community was shocked to
hear of the sudden death of Mrs.
Julia A. Child, Wednesday evening.
Mrs. Child has been with her sister,
Mrs. c. G. Doty, since the middle OF
November, and has been in unusual
ly good health all winter. While
always of bright, CHEEKY DISPOSE
ton, her friends noticed that she
seemed in even better spirits than
usual. With Mrs. Doty, she at
tended the Ladies Aid meeting at
Mrs. Luella Taplin's, in the after
noon, where she was the life of the
gathering. Just as they were pass
ing the Congregational church on
their way homeward, the clock
struck seven. They went to Prich-
ard and Hays store on an GRAND
before going home, and it was then
that Mrs. Child spoke of her hands
being cold. She went to the stove
and stood warming them for min
ute, when she started toward the
counter, evidently for a chair.
Death laid his hand quickly upon
her and she fell to the floor, breath
ing but once or twice after she fell.
Death was instantaneous and pain
less, occurring about us. She
was Immediately taken to the home
of her sister.
Julia A., daughter of Charles H.
and Vespersia jHoward Mann, was
born in Claremont, N. H., June 10,
1889. The greater part of her life
was lived in this vicinity. Dec.
25th, 1866, she was married to
Willard H. Child, of Fairlee. His
death occurring in Fairlee, Oct.
Is, 1903. Four sons were born to
them, three Of whom died in infancy.
Mr.. Child was a station agent and
their married life was spent in Fair
lee, Bradford, South Newbury, Bar
net and Lyndonville, where he ser;
we'd in this capacity. For the last
seven years Mrs. Child has made her
home in Fairlee. Since early life
she has been a member of the Meth
odist church, in which church she
has been a great worker; in fact,
her energies have always been given
for every good cause which has been
undertaken in the community where
she has made her home. She was
also member of the W. R. C. and
of the Rebekahs. She is survived
by one son, Robert A., and three
grand sons, and one sister, Mrs. C.
c. Doty.
A prayer will be offered at the
home of Mrs. Doty at 900, this
morning. The funeral will be held
in Fairlee at II o'clock, where the
interment will be made beside her
husband The Rev. Mr.. Dixon
will Officiate, A. E. Hale being
funeral director.
A CARD. We wish to express in
this manner, our thanks to the
friends and neighbors of Bradford
and Fairlee, who so kindly assisted
us in our sudden bereavement, es-
pecially would we include the mem

He felt he would rather take Mar
shall into his confidence than any
one else in the world. He wished
to probe this matter to the bottom,
If possible, without the aid of any
professional detective agency. In the
latter he had lost confidence and he
was DESTROYS in any event of keep
ing his own counsel for a time at
concerned.
Marshall was keen and young and
full of energy and enthusiasm. He
had moreover unusual ability for fol-
lowing UP a clew, and for discover
ing one. This detective ability had
been proven on more than one oc-
casion, and once on a trail he would
never let it drop until he had ar
rived at something definite.
Mr.. Methven had learned of the
whereabouts Of Mrs. Dougherty and
When Marshall arrived and he told
him the whole story, he gave the
young man the address of the ex-
matron. But Marshall said:
4 have a theory of my own on
which I should like to work, if you
don't mind, before I look up Mrs.
Dougherty."
What is your theory?" inquired
the older man.
First let me make a start on it
and see whether it developes promis-

assistance so greatly"
Marshall replied that he had been

classes in his studies where it was
possible to do so. since the beginning

Detroit Grounds.

GOOD old cubs.' Chicago is chuck
ling this refrain today, and the smile
of contentment is expanding every
countenanee.
The third game of the epoch-making
series for the baseball championship
of the world was captured by the be-
loved bruins yesterday afternoon, and
the tally sheet now reads: Chicago,
2; Detroit, O; first game tied.
"A walk-away!" This is the phrase
by which the gloating fans are de-
scribing yesterdays session. They
look into the future as well as the
past, prophesying more victories and
the grand old flag for Chicago.
The cubs now need only two more
games to make the sacred bunting
theirs by right Of conquest, and it
seems as if they cannot be denied.
Contest is Snappy.
The cubs scored to the tigers 1 in a
fast and snappy contest. The man
eaters were served up a diet of very
humble pie and had it rammed down
their threats.
Their stripes would have been COW
cred with a neat coating of immacu-
late calcimtne If Reulbach, who pitched
excellent ball for the cubs, had not
relaxed after the game was in the ice
box.
Siever was Hughey Jennings Sc
lection for the box, the cubs welcom-
ing his entrance into the festivities
with much glee, They slapped the
left-hander on the right cheek and
the left, then dubbed him to death
and dragged him out by the heels.
1t was a most complete massacre
and until KiIlian was dispatched to
the front the cannonading was as
heavy as that which the war cor
respondent used to hear off Mole ST
Nicholas.
Seven Hits off Siever.
The cubs scored four runs off Siever
in four inings, one of the TALES com
ing in the second and three in the
fourth. They acquired seven out OF
their total of ten hits from the I'M
happy Siever's delivery, three of them
| being magnificent drives into the fa1
corners, which were counted as two
baggers only because of the ground
rules.
When Killian was sent in as a for

tinued to lash the ball for one more
inning. They had struck their batting
short Mr.. Killian was reached fol
