Sell First American Novel.

There was sold recently at auction
in New York a copy of the first
edition of the first American novel.
The auCtioneer said that the book
is exceedingly scarce" and he was
right II lac had cared TO enter into
literary history he might have gone
further and have told his audience
that the work is not only scarce, bue
Is unknown to most writers on
American literature. For example,
neither Professor Trent nor Profess
sor Wendell, in dealing with Ameri-
cas- literary history, mentions the
book or its author.
The first novel published in
America was THE Power OF SYM
pathy, or. The Triumph of Nature" D."
II was written by Mrs. Sarah w. 4.
Morton and wos published in two
volumes in Boston early in 1893. 1t
antcdated by nine years the first
novel OF Charles Brockden Brown.
who is called by some writer's the
first American novelist.
The story contained In The Power
OF sympathy" is told, like the
stories OF so many other works OF
fiction Of the 18TH century, In the
form OF letters. No one ever wrote
sgch stilted letters as Mrs. Morton
cmits from the hands OF her charaC-
ters: but in this respect she re-
bles most OF her contemporaries
writing In England. Also, in making
her letter writer's unfold a tale OF
the leading astray of a young woman
she follows the accepted pattern OF
many OF the writers OF her time.
Besides this engaging, but some
what ancient topic, The Power OF
sympathy deals largely with the
theme OF education for women, Mrs
Morton was far ahead OF her con-
temporaries in advocating liberal cd
ucation for women, and she devoted
to the cause much space in the first
American novel.
The Power OF sympathy" shocked
the authorities OF Boston and It was
suppressed, Copies Of il are seldom
| seen: the New York public library
keeps its copy on it's reserve
shelves, among its rarities. The
book was published anonymously
but there were many readers in Bos-
| ton who guessed It's author. They

Russian Trade Agreement,

Editor World: Tho terms OF the trade agree
ment, which Is in fact In the nature OF treaty
between the British and the Russian govern
ment may serve to throw some light on the
facility with which Lloyd George abandoned his
one time allies and confcrees in dealing with the
soviet administration, The most important aru-
cles are stated as follows
Each party agrees to refrain from hostile
action and propaganda outside its borders
against the others institutions, or from giving
assistance or ENCOURAGEMENT to any propaganda
outside its borders In particular the soviet gov
ernment agrees TO refrain from giving any en-
couragelnent to action against British interests
among the Asiatic peoples, particularly in Asia
Minor, Persia. Afghanstan and India
There are also provisions against blockades as
well as agreements for the clearance of mines
from the Baltic and the exchange OF informa-
uon as 10 mines and renewal Of postal and
telegraph facilities
Signatories OF the covenant OF the league OF
nations are prohibited from making any spe-
cal treaties but there nothing said about
trade agreements so the other members of the
league cannot complain.

Pcrils of Early Commerce.

Flatboating on the Ohio and Mis-
sissippi rivers was exceedingly sue
cesstul financially to the many
southern Ohio people of the pioneer
days who made the venture, but 1t

set out upon the current of those
mighty rivers on a barge, often the
product OF his own hands, laden
with grain, flour and pork for the
New Orleans market.

out restraint OF law in the protect ion
Of life and property, and the Indians
were not more TO be feared ,han the
Cutthroat whites that infested the far
