If Wall street were authorized by the

would not support our ticket as against
President Taft. Wall street has no

the alienation of the rank and file OF

That is what it did in 1904. Why go
through that humiliating experience

ber. OF the illustration Of books, much
discussed topic, the author tells the fol-
lowing anecdotes:
/ remember when we published Con-
stance Fenimore Woolson's Anne, Illus
trated by G.. s. Reinhart, that sne COM
planned that her conception of her heroine
was not in accord with the illustrations
but that Anne would undoubtedly there
after be known as portrayed by Reinhart,
somewhat to her annoyance. IN ahoIheI
case Mrs Humphry Ward was pleased TO
accept Albert f. Sterner's conception or
the hero of one OF her novels, and she
accordingly slightly changed her descrlp-
tion Of the character.
