First American Novelist.

The first American novelist to take
up literature as a profession and a
means of livellhoOd-the pioneer-was
Charles BrOokden Brown, who died 106
years ago, at the age of thirty-nine.
Brown was a native OF Philadelphia,
and his ancestors were Quakers, who
came over with William Penn. He
studied law, but abandoned that pro.
fessiOn for literature. "Wieland," his
first novel, was published in 179S, and
was followed the next year by cor
mOnd." Both novels We're successful,
and, although they now seem rather
crude, they stood as the best American
fiction up 10 Cooper,
Edgar Iluntley: The Adventures OF
a Sleepwalker," was his next novel.
and it was followed by CLARA How.
ard" "Jane Talbot" and other tales.
Brown died Of consumption, and, al
though his literary career covered only
10 years. he produced "a volumes.
Brown Is justly to be regarded as the
father OF American fiction, as he was
the first to take up novel writing seri.

county except the interest or W at
may be borrowed here to help pay
for thl machines. AT the end of the
second year another 500, 200 will 90
for repllrs and gasoline. The third
year another $4,000 and this will
continue until new machines are re-
quired, which will be about the
fourth year when out must go $240,-
600 more, which will make in all in
round numbers about $500, 900 gone
out of the county never to return.
The same process to be repeated
about every four years, increasing
each in proportion to the increase in
number of machines bought. "a
pretty stiff tax" you will say and a
large proportion of it not necessary.
AS Mr.. Toodles remarked to his wife,
'MrS. ToodleS, where is the money!"
when provisions and clothing and
fuel and building material are all from
25 to 100 per cent higher than usual
and advancing in prices every day.
You might say that ''the money put
into automobiles reduces the amount
that would otherwise be spent for
buggies, wagons and horses" That
may be true to very limited extent
only, but even then the material and
labor that would 90 into them would
be supplied mostly from our own
territory and the money for these
things would remain to circulate al
home and besides that the average
life OF horse and buggy is about
three times that of an automobile.
This question is simply one OF econ
omics ani is worthy OF serious con.

ABOUT AUTOMOBILES.

Rditor Kentuckiani
In one of your recent issues, in
speaking of the number of automo-
biles owned in the county, you ex-
pressed the opinion that there were
probably $50 now and that new plir-
chases were being made continually.
You probably did not include in your
estimate the auto trucks and delivery
machines, but only those in private
4 use. The figures are conservative
and will doubtless reach 400 during
the next few months ii not that al
ready. Of this number, probably
100 are owned by doctors, road COM
missioners and mail carriers, which
would leave 300 for personal and
family use. It is not: the purpose OF
this article to criticise any one that is
able to do so for buying an auto, or

PRESIDENTS EFFORTS TO RELIEVE
SUFFERING IN POLAND UNSUCCESSFUL

your majesty that the subject Of
ways and means for the saving Of
those OF these people who still sur
vive be given the further benevolent
consideration OF your majestys gov
ernment. While no one can fail to
appreciate the sufferings and sacri-
fees OF the people primarily engaged
in the existing war. nor the dificul-
ties In the way Of alleviating the
hardships OF those who are the in
cidental sufferers from the war. the
death by slow or rapid starvation OF
millions Of innocent people is SO aw-
ful fact that such an outcome
should be averted II 1t is within the
compass OF human effort to avert It.
In the effort to avert II. confidently
pledge the cooperation OF the people
of the United States II only the way
can be found to make the co-opera-
tion effective. May l, therefore. be
permitted to suggest that an entirely
fresh consideration be given to the
possibility and method OF relief for
Poland and to tender the friendly Of
fees OF this government to negotia-
tions to this end?
"I can only add that It is my sin
cere hope that your majesty will see
in this note no intention to interfere
with the rights and policies of your
majesty's government, but merely the
, attempt to express to your majesty
| the sympathy and compassion toward
the starving inhabitants OF Poland
felt by the citizens OF the United
States--a sympathy and compassion
which they do not desire shall be evil
denced merely by idle words. but
which they hope they may be per-
mitted to express by assisting In the
actual work by furnishing food to the
starving inhabitants of Poland
