CENTENARY OF BIRTH OF
HARRIET BEECHER STOWE
Son and Grandson Of Author Of HUnele
Toms Cabin" Write Her Life.

In June the one hundredth anni7er
sary Of the birth of Harriet Beecher
Stowe will be widely celebrated. A
new life Of the little woman who
made the great war" as Lincoln call.
ed her, is about to come from the
press, written by her son. Charles Ed.
ward Stowe, and her grandson, Ly.
man Beecher Stowe.
Among the most interesting Of the
facts it brings out is that it never Oc-
CURED to the little woman" that
there was anything about Uncle
Toms Cabin in the least likely 10
precipitate a war She wrote the book
with the kindliest feelings toward the
south, and her aim was to be not only
just but generous.
To begin with, Mrs. Stowe was not
Of the extreme abOlitionist type It
was her firm belief that the better
element in the south hated slavery
and that this element was much
larger than was commonly supposed.
Then. too. while she loathed the sys-
TEN with all her heart. she was will
ing to believe that il took more often
than not the kindly patriarchaI form.
She gave Uncle Tom three masters.
and two Of them We're kind. She
made one of her plantation owners
detest slavery and free his slaves.
She wanted to make the north under
stand that the best sOutherners would
cooperate with them in a reasona bic
attempt to do away with the evil.
Never was a little woman more sur
prised to find herself execrated. Her
feeling had been when she first wrote
the book that It would displease the
abOlitiOnists and bring sympathetic
response from the sOuth-that is. If
anybody ever read It at all, which she
had doubted.
When the book appeared the world
turned topsy furry for her. Peo-
pie in the south who had not read
the book OF who had read it with
their minds made up beforehand
thought her some sort of monster.
A cousin who lived in Georgia did
not dare put the name of Mrs. Stowe
on the envelope when she wrote 70
her. She was asked If it was possible
such a woman could be received in
decent society in the north.
Mrs. Stowe found herself. in short,
put in a class of agitators with whom
she had never belonged. and the poor
little dove Of peace she had sent out
came back with its feathers rufHed
beyond recognition.
None the less. though she was bit
terly disappointed at the attitude OF
the south. she would not forsake her
guns. She claimed. and the facts pre-
scented in the new life amply bear out
the statement. that there was nothing
in Uncle Toms Cabin" not based on
actual occurrences.

RUFF TEACHES BIBLE.
Former San Francisco Boss Conducts
Class In Prison.

Abe Ruef. who is serving a fourteen
year sentence in San Quentin for brib-
ery. has started an evening Bible class
for convicts which promises to be pop
ular.
Ruef found his two Cellmates reading
trashy novels, so from dinner time I'M
til the lights went out he talked to
them about the Bible.
They told others, and soon Ruef had
a score of auditors. Now he has
agreed to deliver a series Of sermons
in the prison chapel on Sundays.
Ruef is an excellent talker. He says
the Bible has been his chief reliance
in time of trouble.
Ruef has been buying books Of me-
chanics and agriculture for the prison
circulating library. and he has urged
convlcts TO read them so that they may
be prepared for useful work when dis
charged.
