young Indian girls are taken away

The blame is placed upon Secretary
Hitchcock, whom Mr.. Mcconnell says,

during his tenure of office but who pig
eonholed his report. He further says
that the officials of the interior depart
ment conceal the true state of affairs
from the President. The reservation

Henry James Loving Care.

Mr.. Henry James working methods
are thus described by his publishers:
"Mr. James dictates. He dictates
only the first draft. however, and he
does this slowly, and his secretary aft
erward puts the draft into typewrit
ing, with unusually wide spaces be
tween the lines. This typewriter
draft is then gone over by Mr. James
with pen and ink with infinite care.
Every word is weighed, every thought
is pondered, and he begins to elabo-
rate, to interpolate, to add new beau
ties. Slowly the fabric grows under
his loving care, slowly the sentences
and phrases take on the final aspect
toward which he has been working.
and only when 1t is all to his satisfac
ton as an artistic literary workman
does he permit 1t to go out to the
world"
Yet there Is story of a man who
besought the author to explain the ex-
act meaning of q certain passage
"whereupon Mr.. James responded
with cool gravity, that If the passage
as 1t stood, which represented his care
full and studied thought. did not >ex-
plain itself to the mans mind he did
not deem 1t advisable or worth while
to enter into any verbal discussion Of
