A STORE OF GREAT VALUES

40 volumes of history and literary criti- cism, he is the most widely unread of present day authors. He asks: Of what use is his established reputation If 1t does not induce people to read his bookso
 Only 40 copies of his works, 1t seems. have been purchased in the English trans lation. Two copies of his autobiography have been sold The French critics have given him favorable reviews. and the boulevardiers and frequenters of the salons said fiattering things to his face when he made his appearance in Paris. American publishers have asked for arti- cles. and had then demurred at his stated prices.
 The net result of the favorable com ment upon the finished product of his prodigious industry has been that ''alI my books published in the English tongue have earned for me less than 10 per cent 8 year on the purchase price" The failure of the public to pay literally for what they pretend to like so well is made the text of bitter railing at their lack of discernment, and the obliquities of fickle fortune. ''The great mans life is continuous battle against mediocrity, which he outshines and which strives to obscure him"
 The lamentation of the unappreciated author Is considerably older than the lamentations of Jeremiah. Many a writer who has had no really important message to deliver to his day and gen eration, and has, therefore, failed to secure a hearing, has comforted his soul by declaring that his own merits were great and undeniable; it was the stupid public, the bigoted and undis- cerning world at large, which was too dull and muddy mettled to receive his inspired uttarances. But though the world, a. Goethe says, has from tune

Christian Science, the First Church of Christi Scientist. of Boston, has estab- lished a board of lectureship, whose mem- bers are carefully selected and duly au- thorized to speak upon this subject. It is customary for the various churches of this denomination to select 8 member of this board to deliver one or more lec- lures annually.
 In introducing lecturer, J. F. Gaylor of South Bend, Ind, said:
 'Tt has been said of Christian Scientists, that their religion is the great fact" of their lives, and this is true, for Christian Science enters so entirely into every &C., tivity of the one who practices 1t. that in truth it becomes more than a fact in his life--it becomes his very life. And this will account for the optimism and intense enthusiasm which is so apparent in every Scientist; he has found something which in reality transforms his being; which is more to him than a religion; more. vastly more, than a Sabbath-day affair; it is hourly, momentarily, present help to him in every need, affording relief not only from sin and sorrow, from misery and woe. but from disease and want and every i'll that flesh Is heir to.
 'sThe Christian Science lecture is de- signed to tell you the truth about it's teachings, and incidentally to correct false reports which from time to time are put into circulation through various agencies Happily, however, for the cause of science, and even more happily for the race of men, these false reports are be- coming less and less frequent. and there is evidence on every side that the world is growing into . better understanding of

be- is & travesty Of justice, and in this country would in itself be sufficient to wiring acquittal from the most hardened jury. It makes not the least difference that the woman on trial may be xuflty Of the crime of murder. So far the evi- dence against her is of the firnsieyt character. It is the system that Is wrong. and the present fareical trial simply en,- phasizes the fact The scales of Justice are not evenly balanced in a duel such as is now proceeding in Paris A judge who both presides and proeecutes is an unthinkable anomaly In English or American Jurisprudence. It robs the trial of the impartiality which is the founda- ton of our criminal practice and a safe guard of rights won through the long struggle of many centuries and sanctifed by the blood of patriots.
 Many French statesmen have rscoa- nized that their court practice is both an- tiouated and unjust. The superiority of procedure in American and F,nglisn courts has frequently been acknowledged but the plea for reform has fallen on deaf ears until the present trial. Now the French press is taking the matter up vigorously. and the indignant protest which Is sweeping over the country aids in long-needed campaign for change It is hopeful sign.

TELLS FOREIGNERS
 ABOUT OUR MUSIC

London, November 13.-(Special)-Her- mann Klein, formerly well known in Lon don as a music teacher and critic, but who for seven years has lived in America, has been giving London audience his candid opinion of conditions in the mus ical world of New York. MT. Klein called his address '"rhe Truth About Music in America"
 Dealing first with artists and audiences the conclusion he had arrived at was that the former, especially if native. must have the stamp of foreign approval. Then the nation became proud of them. The attitude of audiences was courteous and spontaneous but it was not critical. Their enthusiasm was for what thing ought to be rather than for what 1t is. Their criticism was always a process of com parison and superlatives were applied alike to all classes of performance. When M. Saint-Saens, Herr Mahler and Dr. Strauss visited America reference was made to the true modesty of Saint -Saens. the false modesty of Mahler and the im- modesty of Strauss.

 Christian Science breaches by it's heal ing and heals by its preaching. It's practitioners cure by their understand ing of the Fundamental laws of health not by their Knowledge of disease The salvation it offers is for today, and its philosophy so simple that the child can grasp it. It comes readily to the recep- tive heart, but never to the pretudiced mind.'

steinheH Trial a Travesky.
From the Washington Post.


 The French courts. in the trial of Mme. Steinheil. are giving the world shock ing spectacle of judicial unfairness. Whether or not the woman Is guilty of the crime of which she stands accused. she is entitled in the name of common justice to fair and impartial trial Ac- cording to Anglo-Saxon ideals. prisoner is innocent, technically, until guilt is proved. In France the burden of proof is upon the defendant, and the presiding judge is prosecutor. It Is the heritage of the old Roman law, modified by mid ievalism. and narrowly escapes being a disgrace to modern civilization.
 It Is not at all surprising that the present trial has raised a wave of indig- nation, which has spread throughout France. The spectacle of judge and his court officials pitting themselves in all their power against a nerve-racked woman, no matter how guilty she may

JOE CANS DEFEATS WHITE
English Light Weight Champion 10
Knocked Down Three Times
Tame Exhibition,

New York, Mar. 13.-Joe Cans, for
mer light weight champion of the
world, easily defeated Jabez White,
the English light weight champion, in
a ten-round bout at the National
Athletic club. II was a tame exhibi.
tion and the big crowd was disap.
pointed as the men were slow and
lacked force behind many of their
blows.
White used his left cleverly In the
first two rounds, but in the third he
changed his tactics, relying mainly
on his right. Two rounds later the
cause of this shift was apparent.
White had broken his left arm some
time ago in England and he hurt II
early in the third round. White was
knocked down once in the sixth.
twice in the seventh, when the bell
saved him by one second and once in
the eighth. Cans was far from being
the Cans of even two years ago, as
he missed several blows, misjudged
distance and failed TO take advantage
of many opportunities that presented
themselves.

Milder weather will stimulate

everywhere there is still lacking the

toward more settled conditions is
noted in iron and steel. The most
encouraging feature is the better sen.
timent, and this has been followed by
an increased demand in some lines.

it is q well known fact that the

Whenever there is the slightest
Indication of flatulnce or dizziness
