settlers of Virginia. One of these an
cestors, Richard Allen, moved to
Kentucky, where he lived the easy,
hospitable life Of gentleman far
mer on his large estate. n
Mr.. Aliens mother was descend
ant of the Pennsylvania Scotch-Irish
and the Brooks family of Virginia. A
native Of Mississippi, she was a lover
of nature and literature. She inspir-
ed in her son love for reading old
romances, poetry, and history.
Although Allen was only twelve
years old when the storm of Civil
War broke over our country, he was
old enough to relize it's horrors and
the suffering that it brought to the
people Of the South. Just before the
beginning of the war his father lost
his fortune so the formal education
that Allen received was small; but
under his mothers guidance he pur-
sued his studies at home. Long walks
in the fields and forests about his
home gave him a keen insight into
nature. = .$=.:>- ~, - ~
He was graduated from Transyl-
vania University at Lexington, Ken
lucky, in 1872, and three years later
received degree Of A. M. from there.
A little before this his father died
and James had to begin teaching in
order to meet expenses. He spent a
year as master in a country school
waking six miles to and from the
school every day.
For two years he taught in Mis-.

souri,, and then came back to Ken
lucky as q private tutor. He was call
ed to his alma mater to teach, and
two years later Bethany College, in
West Virginia, offered him the chair
of Latin and higher English.
He planned to go to Germany for
q time; but gave this UP when the
idea of becoming doctor of medi-
cine attracted him. This was when
he was doing graduate work at
Johns Hopkins in Baltimore. But his
love of literature led him to take up
writing, and in 1884 he moved to
New York. He arrived there un-
known and with no letters of intro
duction; but she took UP his abode
in a garnet and started out In very
humble way" He sent letters to tho
New York Evening Post, poems to
Harper's and the Atlantic Monthly,
and essays to the Critic and the For

attention to the young author, and
soon there was a strong demand for
his sketches of Kentucky life. "The
Blue Grass Region Of Kentucky"
was the title given to the collection
volume Of these sketches.
Mr.. Allen. then moved to Cincin-
natl; but later moved again to Wash
ington, believing that the capital of
the country would be the future
home of literature and art in Ameri-
ca. In Washington, however, he
found too much social and official
distraction; so he returned to New
York.
"The Kentucky Cardinal" pub
lished in 1895, is one of Mr.. Aliens
best books. 1t is a sort Of pastoral
poem in prose, showing the struggle
between Nature and Love. "Ths
Choir Invisible" shows the noble love
of married woman for a mar who
is not her husband.

A just workmen's compensation
law is to be one of the laws to result
from Democratic admin istration.
The object of such legislation is to
supplant the old liability statutes.
There are plenty of reasons why this
should be done. When a workman is
killed, it is at present necessary for
the widow to accept an unreasonable
compromise or go to court. She is poor
and often absolutely penniless. The
corporations have high-salaried coun-
Sci, and they know how to have the
litigation continued and defeated. In
the end the widow may be forced to
accept mere pittance.
The railroads pay yearly more
than 100000 for personal injuries.
1t is asserted that after the cases
have been fought through court af-
ter court. Corporations being willing
and able to carry case to the sup
RENE court simply to defeat the claim
OF some poor man who has lost leg

of the $11,OOO,OOO finds it's way to

mainder is eaten up by attorneys
fees, costs, witness fees and general
expense.

HOUSE BURNED

A fire alarm was turned in at II
O'Clock Thursday night of last week,
the fire being in house belonging to
Victor Olson, located in Berg's ad.
dition. The blaze started in the up
stairs Of the building, destroying it be-
fore the firemen reached the place.
Only the chemical companies and tho
hook and ladder were ordered to the
fire as the burning building was beyond
the city's water supply. Mrs. Jos.
Krazn was living in the building. Three
hundred dollars insurance was carried
on the contents of the house and 5000
on the building.
