ways.
They found much larger and great

came here expecting much.
The train that brought the gentle
men was something over one-hllf hour

on hand to receive the visitors and
when the train pulled in they went for

Just at this particular junc.ure how
ever, the Natchez people mad some
other business that demanded thei.'
immediate attention. They had some-
4hing they wanted to say to the train

LEFT A NOVEL.
Would Have Made Dead Woman
 Famotis Had She Lived.

Chicago, April 21.-Mrs Jessie Llewellyn Call. the daughter of a former governor of Kansas, who committed suicide on Easter day, left an unfinished novel which her friends believe would have made her we'll known had she lived to finish it.
 The manuscript which is said to be in the keeping of Miss Louise Llewellyn, Mrs Calls sister, now in Oskaloosa. Ia, deals with the politi- cal life that centered around her fa- ther. It is partly because of the existence of this manuscript that those who were Mrs Calls intimate friends base their belief that she made up her mind to take her own life suddenly after a sleepless night or because she had been made espe- cially Respondent by an acute attack of her nervous malady. They be- lieve that the period of premedita- tion was not longer than day or two.

LITTLE HIPo IN AUTO.
Was Treated to a Drink in the Grill
 Room of The Elton.

Although Mrs Patrick Campbell's $ "Pinky Panky Poo," Elsie Janis,s "Zimbo' and few other ultra fash ionable animals could not gain en- trance to The Elton because of the stringent rules thereof, Little Hip, the baby elephant, went through the place to-day like real high brow Hip, who is as docile as kitten, jumped into one of Towle's automo- piles in the center this noon. Seat. ed with him was Manager Clancy oi Jacques where the animal is per forming this week, MT Anderson, the trainer, and the latter's wife. Nor man Taylor was at the wheel and he skinned right over to the place where four-legged animals are not allowed. But Hip walked right down to the grill room on two feet. Right up to the bar he pranced, made q noise like the price of drink and moment later was down ing two fingers of the strongest in the place. He had water for chaser instead of a bell boy. He is human, for his thirst was not appeased by one, so he took another. Again it was q straight whiskey, and once more Adams ale was the follower. And wat do you think? Next he had a cigar. With the weed between his molars he strutted round the room like-well, you should have seen him. Why he would pass for a man ill the dark! Hip shook hands with several per sons before making his departure. His feet were still steady as he hopped into the machine end was driven to the north end. He rode around the town for about an hour and attracted much attention.

Hearn as . Creative. Artist.

Hearn's creative faculty began where
creation is commonly held to end. with
the material given. OF the creative
gift in the sense In which the phrase
Is applied to the poet he had not par
ucle. He was not a maker. but a
SNAPPER. DR.. Gould puts the matter
sbluntly when he says. tsHe had no
original thing to say, for he was en-
tirely without creative power and had
always to borrow theme and plot."
And again: Clearly and patiently it
was mind without creative ability,
spring or the desire for It. 1t was a
mind improcreant by inheritance and
by education. by necessity ana by
training. by poverty internal and ex-
ternal." The truth In these words be-
comes evident when one recalls the
failure as fiction Of every one OF
Hearn's attempts in this field and the
fact that his greatest successes were
won In reciothing the ideas OF other
men. Forum.
