WHO HAS WRITTEN
 THE BETTER NOVEL? !?
Mary E. Wilkins-Freen1an, of America, and Max Pemberton, of England,
 BothFind Many Supporters.

i NEW YORK, Jan. 29.-When hesNeW York
 Herald paid Mary E. Wilkins-Freeman
 Of America, and Max Pemberton, of Eng.
 land, $5,0O0 each for two novels fresh l from those famous authors pens and in
 augurated the Anglo-American competi.
 tion, that enterprsng newspaper did not
 perhaps, realize the full scope of it's idea. l Yet the second week of the great contest 1 has developed so widespread an interest 1 that it is becoming difficult to keep count 1 of the votes.
 From every nook and corner of the land i people are sending in votes and criticisms, | and every mail goes to increase the pile of envelopes in front of the busy Herald editors
 All classes are watching this contest | closely It has long been moot question whether tales of homely life as represented by Mary E. Wilkins Freeman's novel, or stirring stories of adventure, such as those told by Max Penberton, are most popular in America Now for the first time the question is going to be answered.
 The New York Herald has provided in this competition all the stimulus necessary to obtain an adequate and emphatic eX- piession of preference from the American public.
 It has agreed to pay big cash bonus to the winning author, and it has offered seven cash prizes every week during the eighteen weeks of the contest for the best criticisms of each instalment. No greater inducements could be given or desired. And the public is responding promptly and vigorously In fact, the response has been so remarkable that it seems almost as if the entire population were up in arms for one or the other of the competing authors.
 A feature of the competition next Sun day will be the publication in the Herald of some of the criticisms sent in. These are said to be extremely interesting, snow ing just why readers prefer. one novel to the other They have considerable lter- arv Significance, and it is probable that more than one novelist will take into serious consideration many of the hlnts thtv contain. Certainly these criticisms are valuable as indications of the readers viewpoint. ~ Next Sundays instalments of the ssories develop some exciting and impressive situations

leader is. So the country editor often
 exerts a power of which he knows lit. tie.
 But politics is only part of the
 country editors life. The social affair
 of the community is nearest to him.
 The proud father who brings in cigar
 with notice of the seventh baby's ar
 rival (why cigars and babies should be
 associated in mems minds never un-
 derstood), the fruit farmer who pre-
 sents some fine Ben Davis apples in the
 expectation that he will get notice,
 are but types. The editor may have
 some doubts concerning the need of a
 seventh child in the family of the proud
 father, and he may not be particularly
 fond of Ben Davis apples, but he gives generous notices because that he knows
 the gifts were prompted by kind hearts and that the givers are his friends.
 When joy comes to the household it is but the working of the hearts best i'm pulse to desire that all should share it. The news that the princess of the fam lily has, after many years of waiting, welded a prosperous merchant of the neighboring county brings the family into prominence in the home paper. Seldom in these busy times does the editor get piece of wedding cake, but nevertheless he fails not to say that the bride is "one of our loveliest young ladies and the groom is worthy of the prize he has won." The city paper does not do that. Here and there country editor tries to put on city airs and give the bare facts of "social fun ctions" without a personal touch to the line. But unfrequently does he succeed in reaching the hearts of hls readers, and somehow he finds that his con- temporary across the street, badly sprinkled with typographical errors and halting in its grammar, but profuse in its laudations, is getting an unusual number of new sub icribers. Even you, though you may pretend to be unmindful, are not displeased when on the day after your party you read that the guests "went home feeling that good time had been had"
 And when sorrow comes! Into the home of a city friend of mine death taking the wife and mother. The family had been prominent in so- ,ial circles, and columns were printed n the city papers, columns of cold, bi- graphical facts-born, married, died. But the news went back to the small country town where in their early mar jed life the husband and wife had pent many happy years, and in the lit le country weekly was quite another ort of story. It told how much her friends loved her, how saddened they were by her passing away, how sweet md womanly had been her character. The husband did not send the city pa 'ers to distant acquaintances; he sent l opy after copy of the little country 1eekly. the only place where, despite is prominence in the world, appeared a relation of the loss that ad come to him. - Atlantic Monthly,
