1t may be due to the fact that James
Lane Allen was a seventh child that
he has achieved sucn remarkable sue
cess in literature. RE Was born in
Fayette county, near Lexington, Ken
lucky, in 1S49, the youngest child of
Richard and Helen Allen. He can
number among his paternal ancestors
some OF the first settlers of Virginia.
One OF these ancestors, Richard Allen,
moved to Kentucky, where he lived
the easy, hospitable life of gentle
man farmer on his large estate.
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 inspired
in her son love for reading old ro-
mances, 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 realize its horrors and the
suffering that it brought to the people
OF the South. just before the begin
ming of the war his father lost his
fortune; so the formal education that
Allen received was small; but under
his mothers guidance he pursued his
studies at home. Long walks in the

seems to them "a tender influence, a
peculiar grace" that reaches out
across miles and years, drawing them
back to their Alma Mater, and the
comradeship of their classmates To
most graduates their college life
seems their golden age; through the
mist OF years the campus becomes an
Island of Utopia whose very tediums
grow bright In the retrospect, the
sting OF whose sins and failures was
always lessened by the power OF the
ideals and hopes that filled it's air
No campus ever was a Utopia, and the

very bright and beautiful in American
college life 1t is hard to account for
the feeling in thousands of gray-hair-

fields and forests about his home gave
him keen insight into nature.
He was graduated from Transylva-
MIA University at Lexington, Ken
lucky, In 1872, and three years later
received degree of A. NJ from there.
A little before this his father died, and
James had to begin teaching in order
to meet expenses. He spent year as
master In country school, walking
six miles to and from the school every
day.
For two years he taught in Missouri
and then came back to Kentucky as a
private tutor. He was called to his
alma mater to teach, and two years
later Bethany College, in West Vir-
ginia, offered him the chair of Latin
and higher English.
He planned to go to Germany for a
time; but gave this up when the idea
OF becoming doctor of medicine at
tracted him. This was when he was
doing graduate work at Johns Hop
kins in Baltimore But his love of
literature led him to take up writing,
and in 1884 he moved to New York.
He arrived there unknown and with
no letters of introduction; but she
took up his abode In a garrett and
started out in very humble way" He
sent letters to the New York Evening
Post, poems to Harper's and the At
lantic Monthly, and essays to the Crit
ic and the Forum. A criticism of
Henry James Portrait of Lady
first attracted attention to the young
author, and soon there was a strong
demand for his sketches of Kentucky
life. 'The Blue Grass Region of Ken
tucky' was the title given to the col
lected volume of these sketches.
Mr.. Allen then moved to Cincinnati;
but later moved again to Washington,
believing that the capital of the coun-
try would be the future home of liter
ature and art in America. In Wash
ington, however, he found too much
social and official distraction; so he
returned to New York.
"The Kentucky CARDINAL published
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. "The Choir Invisi-
ble' shows the noble love of a mar
ried woman for man who is not her
husband.
James Lane Allen is best known as
a writer of fiction; but he has also
published many critical articles and
much verse. He is recognized as one
OF the most poetic and dramatic OF
American novelists.

Owen Wister is grandson OF
Frances Anne Kemble, better known
as Fannie Kemble, the famous actress.
He was born on July IA, 1860, in Phil

he was taken to Europe, where he re-
manned three years. On his return to
this country he entered St. Paul's
School, Concord, whence he went to

No. S. WINSTON CHURCHILL

Although he graduated from Anna
polls in 1894, Winston Churchill new
er served in the navy Instead, imme-
diately after completing his studies he
began writing. He had found out that
he could write when he was still at
Annapolis, and decided that fiction
rather than the navy was HIS line of
work. For this the young graduate
had fine equipment. Annapolis gave
him self-reliance and determination
Those graduates of the Naval Aca-
deny who have not gone into the navy
have usually been successful in what
ever they have done. This is parti-
cularly true in the case of Churchill.
Well educated, at the same time he is
full of the joy of life itself, and likes
all sorts of outdoor sports. He is
favorite everywhere.
Winston Churchill was born in st.
Louis, Missouri, on November 10, 1871,
and spent the first sixteen years of his
life there. From a school in st. Louis
he went to Annapolis There he be-
came strongly interested in American
history and problems, and made up his
mind to devote his life and energies to
these. In the brief intervals between
studies and drills he gathered much
of the material that he afterward used
in his novels
While at Annapolis he stood among
the first five or six in his class He
also reOrganized the crew and was
captain for year. He likewise play
ed good game of football. Fencing,
tennis, and horseback riding are his
favorite sports.
For awhile after graduation he
worked on the Army and Navy Jour-
nal, and then Joined the staff of the
Cosmopolitan Magazine During this
time he wrote great deal; but did
not attempt to publish these first ex-
periments in fiction
He married in 1895 and moved not
long afterward to his home at Cornish,
New Hampshire which is at present
the summer residence of President
Wilson. Churchill was very FORUM
ate. He did not have to earn living
by doing hackwork, and could take
plenty of time with anything that he
wrote.
1t is said that genius is the capacity
for taking great pains. Winston
Churchill surely illustrates this adage.
Hard work, determination, and keen
sense Of values made him the success
full novelist that he is. He was ambi-

He rewrote Richard Carvel" at
least five times. He worked from
breakfast until one o'clock, after lunch
for two or three hours, and after din
ner often far into the night. This, the
first of three of Winston Churchill's
novels dealing with American history,
became the most popular book in the
United States. "The Crisis" the sec
ond of these historical novels, appear
ed few years after Richard Carvel,"
and in 1904 "The Crossing" the last
of the trilogy, was published. The
background for "The Crisis was the
Civil war, and "The Crossing" dealt
with the great western movement
across the country.
Churchill has served in the New
Hampshire legislature. and also ran
for the governorship of that state.
"Conistons" was direct outgrowth of
his political associations. The novel
Is story of politics, with charming
love story running through it.
Winston Churchill is still young
man, and there is every reason to be-
lieve that his best and biggest work is
still to come.

nothing at this time. He returned east
and entered the Harvard Law School.
He graduated in 1888, and year later
was admitted to the bar in Philadel-
phia.
But the west had great attraction
for him. In the next ten years he
made fifteen trips there He soon saw
that law was not his career.
In 1891 series of studies and stor-
les OF the west by Wister started in
Harper's Magazine. These were later
gathered together in volume called
Red Men and White" All the char
acters in these sketches were true to
life: the Indian was the Indian of
fact, and the cowboy was the cowboy
of reality.
When Wister first began to write a
fellow-townsman and critic of him
said, Owen Wister has written some
creditable stories; but SO, to be sure,

lies in musical criticism" This opin-
