old FRIEND GONE
ED s. ELLIS, "FATHER OF THE
DIME NOVEL," rs DEAD.
No Doubt There Are Many Gray.
Headed and Highly Respected
Members Of Society Who viii
Remember His Books.

The father of the dime novel died a
short time ago at the age Of seventy
six. Many of us are old enough TO re-
member those Beadle & Adams dime
novels with the salmOn-coyered paper
covers, not too large to slip inside Il
| pocket and hide there until favorable
chance came TO deyour its pages, for
our elders had strOnG prejudice
against the yellow backs" and be-
lleved that IA boy who read them was
hiking straight down The center Of the
road TO perditlon.
Ed 5. Ellis, the man who died re-
Gently, wrote the first of the dime nov
els that made a hit, and he wrote hun
dreds Of them afterwurd, and many
other books beside. He was nineteen
years old when he wrote "Seth Jones'
in 1859, and sent II 10 Beadle & Ad-
ANS, New York, who had just begun
to publish their dime novels, but had
not made Il success with them. They
saw a winner in seth Jones'" Before
they sent 1t out they plastered the
country with posters, dodgers and
painted inscriptions with the ques-
ton: "Who is Seth Jones?" and
when the people. had guessed and won
dered for weeks the whole country
broke out in another rush Of posters
bearing the picture Of frontiersman
In coOnskin cap, with the inscription,
~ am Seth Jones'" The book made
the fame Of Ellis and the dime novel
and the fortune of Beadle & Adams.
1t was translated into II languages
and a million copies were sold.
A queer thing about it was that
Ellis was brought up to be a preacher
and that he was teacher of a Sunday
school class when he wrote this first
dime novel. He used to clothe Bible
stories in imagery Of his own, vivid
and exciting, and always closed the
lesson with the tale unfinished and
the remark: Boys, Wen continue the
story next Sunday" All the boys in
the village were in his Sunday school
class.
He wrote so many stories for boys
and girls that he lost count of them.
He was the author of the boy PiO-
neer," LOG Cabin" "Deerfoot," "Wy-
oming" and Forest and Prairie" Sc
ries, and he wrote many serious-mnd-
ed books, such as a history of this
country in eight volumes, of which 100,-
600 sets were sold.
1t is said of him that he was a good
man, Of kindly nature; that children
loved him, and that, in spite of the
preaching that has been done against
cheap novels, there was not an immOr-
al situation nor anything that would
tend to influence for wrong in the hun
dreds Of novels he wrote. His heroes
were manly and clean-minded, his NOR
ais good and he exalted the nobler
qualities of honor, loyalty and courage.
He said just before he died that he
did not regret anything he had written
and he felt he had contributed to the
joy Of living for millions of boys and
girls. The Star knows from expert
ence that this is true, so here's a
wreath to the memory Of the father of
Seth jones'" the hero Of a boyhood
long past.-Kansas City Star.

There should be asterisks or some

and those who follow this narration
find themselves on the aviation field
at the edge Of headquarters camp, the
day a relief aeroplane is expected to
arrive. Her starting point is a mill
tary secret, but it is sufficient to say
that she would complete a journey of
$50 miles by the time she glided to the
ground at this camp.
Finally, far over the mountain
range, the machine was sighted. The
aviator was having a rough time of 1t,
caught IN the swirls and eddies that
suck up out Of the rough mountain
country. Then the machine fought
clear and lowered over the field, ap-
parently seeking a place to aHght. FL
nally the machine made a sudden
swoop, struck the toughest part Of the
field, bumped badly, skidded and tip
ped, but finally rIghted Itself and
rolled to a standstill.
How They Were Greeted.
The aviator assigned to headquar-
ters strolled leisurely out to greet the
newcomer. They reached the machine
as he and the observer were climbing
stifiy from their seats and unlsurton-
ing leather jackets. One felt that 1t
was a moment in which these casual
young tempters Of destruction might
relax bit. In France, one imagined,
there might be an embrace, at least.
Probably a slight peck on the cheek.
Jake had really shown that he was
a mighty handy man with The brush.
But did they relax? Here Is what

AS long you willing to take their money, Uncle why sell your pson to the people direct Why not let go the people through the saloons while you are willing to take the license money of the saloons? When you gave those men licenses and took their money did you tell them that you were about to start opposition? Is that you consider the business of selling liquor not proper and that therefore, your agreement with saloon men is only scrap of paper? Do you base your moral code on the ground that faith should be kept with people of whose business you do not approve? do you know that you committing greater breach of the fundamental prn- cipleS of morality than they?

Alfred Stevens, however. is not an

was seized upon by Mr.. Baker as a handy
contrast. the real fundamental difference
distinguishing Stevens from Leighton being
the power OF becoming one with the sub.

into the mood and life Of the action vis-
ualized. each figure becoming a revelation
Of direct experience. Mr.. Baker wrote:
But the Leightons Of this world, having
only the most documentary SYM athy with
life. are debarred from understanding. In
the 'C:mabue' Of Lord Leighton we can
mark the limitations Of his understanding
very clearly. For most Of the figures he
had good professional models whom nc
could photograph by the hour. And there
they are. these worthy models. distributed
