CHRISTMAS THOUGHTS.

When you eat your Christmas din
ner the thought may come to you that
this is fairly good country in which
to live-a country for which no apollo,
gies are required.
We have much to- be thankful for
on the great day which all Christian
nations celebrate. We have law and
order to reasonable extent, and are
without serious internal troubles. We
have freedom of speech and the right
to worship God according to our indi-
vidual lights. We have prosperity in
excess of that enjoyed by any other
portion of the world We have pop.
ulation of strong, healthy and highly
intelligent people, with growing gen
GRAFTON that will prove worthy sons
and daughters of their parents. We
have an educational system that is not
surpassed anywhere on earth, sys-
tenn that produces men and women
who have been taught to think and
act for themselves. We have all of
the modern inventions and appliances
with which to make life easier and
brighter and more attractive.
Our wheels of progress are many
and they grind steadily and surely
and to definite purpose. What more
can we fairly ask, when the rest of
the world is in the throes of unrest, or
racked with misery, privation and de-,
spairf
AS you enjoy the blessings of today,
thank God that YOU are not of those
who persisted in the curse of yesters
day. The Maker and Giver of III
things extends the protecting hand of
Christian fellowship to us. Let us hunt
bly, and thankfully accept that which
is proffered us by Him.

DREADFUL SOCIAL ERROR


Lydia at sixteen went to her first
real dinner party.
When she came home her eyes
were shining and she was in the
seventh heaven. Her mother was
just as excited, so she got started on
the tale and was "doin' fine" when
her face fell and she said: eBut,
mother, a perfectly terrible thing
happened
Her mother naturally wanted to
know what it was, but Lydia in
sisted it was too terrible to tell.
Finally the mother, imagining all
sorts of dreadful things, insisted
that she be told. So Lydia began !:

same way there but, mother, it is

A NEW MALADY

Little Robert George was the
proud possessor of two baby kittens.
He did not object to exhibiting them
to any admirers, but he did not in
tend that every one in the neighbor-
hood should know where he kept
them. When his little friend came
over and asked to see them, Robert
insisted on Bill staying at the house
while he went to the garage to get
them.
But Bill wished to see "where
they slept" Still Robert refused to
let him go, resorting to various ex-
cuses. None Of these even daunted
Bill, and in desperation Robert in
vented this one: "But, Bill, they're
sick and, anyway, it hurts their eyes
to see people they don't know"

CIR ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE
~ was made knight in 1902,
not because he was a writer of
highly entertaining fiction, but be-
cause of his defense of the British
policy in South Africa during the
Boer war. At the time an enthusi-
astic American admirer of Doyle
wrote. I'VE have never until now
experienced any desire to be King
of England, but we are beginning to
see that there are possibilities in
the kingship which we had not
recognized before. If, for instance,
we were occupying the English
throne we should cause it to be in
timated to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
that he might become baronet as
soon as he should write The Ad-
venture of the Second Stain,' which
he has so exasperatingly mentioned
in one of his other tales, and which
seems to us one of the most piquant,
mysterious and tantalizing titles
that any one ever invented. We
should also cause it to be under
stood that story as good as The
Hound of the Baskervilles' would
gain for its author the rank of
baron; story as good as The Sign
OF the Four title of viscount, and
one as good as A Study in Scarlet
the title of earl. A book like the
Memoirs would deserve a mar
quisate; and if it is conceivable
that any one could again produce
so fascinating volume as the .Ad-
ventures it is perfectly obvious
that such person ought to be a
duke"

CHRONICLE AND
COMMENT
BY ARTHUR BARTLETT MAURICE.

L Englishman who is due to ar
rive in this country tomorrow for
the purpose of lecturing, we have
not even the mildest of interest.
Without meaning to be personally
ungracious, we should hare been
just as well pleased if he had re-
mained at Undershaw, Hindhead,
Surrey, or at the Athenaum Club.
In the DR.. Conan Doyle, who about
the year 1890 was writing some ex-
eeedingly clever detective stories
that introduced character that
has become the most widely known
throughout the world of any char
acter in all the history of fiction,
we have an interest that it would
be foolish to deny. But that aspect
OF the man is already familiar.
There is, however, a third Arthur
Conan Doyle, who is a literary
workman of the first order, whose
high talent has never been ade-
quately recognized and who is, COM
paratively speaking, unknown to
great part of the American reading
public. In him we have very de-
eided interest.
nF course you know Mr.. Sherlock
~ Holmes from The Study in
Scarlet" and 'sThe Sign of the Four"
through "The Adventures of Sher-
lock Holmes" and "The Memoirs of
Sherlock Holmes" and "The Return
of Sherlock Holiness" and "The
Hound of the Baskervilles, down
to THE Valley of Fear" and His
Last Bow" Probably you know also
something of "The White Company"
and Sir Nigel" and Micah Clark"
and "The Refugees and Rodney
Stone" and THE Adventures of
Brigadier Gerard" and "The Lost
World" and The Poison Belt"
But do you know "The Doings of
Raffies Haw," and Beyond the
City," and Uncle Bernac," and "The
Great Shadow" and, above all,
Through the Magic Door," one of
the most stimulating and entertain
ing books of literary essays that has
appeared in generation? In many
respects, the best work of Conan
Doyle is to be found in the little
known books.
IN Through the Magic Door"
Conan Doyle expressed the
opinion that Macaulay could have
written great historical novel for
the reason that he was a great
transmuter. Doyle himself pos
sesses the gift of transmutation
probably to higher degree than
any other writing man of our time.
Rodney Stone," for example, has
been called the best novel of the
prize ring ever written" 1t is that,
and it is more than that. 1t is as
vivid and Illuminating a picture of
Corinthian England, the England
of the first decade of the last cen
tury, with its excesses, it's mad
eccentricities and its heroisms as

Uncle Bernac" and the Exploits
and Adventures" of Brigadier Ger
ard. Sherlock Holmes is the char
acter that will probably always be
associated with the name of Conan
Doyle. Etienne Gerard has ever
been closer to his heart.
TINDER another name Gerard
- first appeared in a fugitive
story, "a Romance Of the Foreign
Office" that is included in the vol
ume "The Green Flag" That was
tale properly belonging in the
Exploits" or the Adventures, !"
just as "The Lost Special of the
Round the Fire" stories should
have been linked with the name OF
Sherlock Holmes. OF all the virile
characters of Doyle's fiction-Sir
Arthur has never succeeded in draw
ing a woman. save perhaps the
strong minded heroine of Beyond
the City," who is much more than a
marionette-Etienpe Gerard is the
most lovable, human and many
sided. We meet him as a rieur
grogndrd of the First Empire, sip
ping his wine at the cafe. taking de-
light in the telling and retelling of
tales of his lusty and glorious
youth. In these tales "L'Epopee," !"
as the French call it, passes before
US, and in them we have sound and
generous philosophy. Once the
Brigadier deplores national boast
ing. He has fought in Spain, Rus
sia, Germany, Italy, everywhere,
and he has found that one nation is
as brave as another. Except" he
adds with a gorgeous burst of Gas
con naivete, that the French have
rather more courage than the rest"
ITO say that in the veins of Conan
l Doyle are commingled the three
bloods that flowed at the Battle of
the Boyne is far from being a mere
rhetorical flourish. 1t explains
what might be termed his Brit
ish point of view, his Irish
point of view and his French
point of view. Most of his English
heroes are Irish. A third of his
heroic figures are Frenchmen. The
lighting Britons of his fiction of the
Napoleonic wars are loud in ex-
pressing their detestation of the
French, but they are generous in
their tributes to French valor and
quick to explain that the lack of
French success upon the seas was
directly due to limited opportunities
for learning seamanship, and the
absence of trained officers is a re.
suit of the Revolution. Occasionally
he has used the United States as a
background, and on the whole
Americans have no cause to COM
plain that he has been uncompli-
mentary in his treatment of the re-
public and its citizens.
|GF course, Conan Doyle makes
some of his American charac-
ters talk as Americans never do
talk. But then he is British, so
nothing more on that point need be
said. Certainly no American in his
fiction ever talked so preposter.
ously as does the Wilton Sargent
of Mr.. Kipling's An Error in the
Fourth Dimension" In "The Lost
World Doyle suggests that char
acter courting personal danger don

That dig was quite pardonable for
the reason that DR.. Doyle was spec.
tator at the football game between
Princeton and Pennsylvania at
Trenton in 1894 In one of the
early Sherlock Holmes stories, 1.-The
Adventure of the Noble Bachelor

grandeur of Columbia, gem of the

More Frenchmen are acquainted
with him than with Barbe Bleue;;
more Arabs than with Sinbad; more
Spaniards than with the Knight of
La Mancha. In Barcelona there is
a literary factory devoted to the
turning out of Sherlock Holmes Cor
Ol-mes) romances by the millions of
copies for Spain and the Spanish
reading lands of the Caribbean and
Central and South America. An
lberian Sherlock Holmes, bearing
very little resemblance to the Doyle
character, is the hero of such titles
as sherlock Holmes and the
Poisoners of Chicago" Sherlock
Holmes Among the Opium Snug
glers," Sherlock Holmes and the
Assassins of Vienna" Sherlock
Holmes and the Ship of DEATH"
THE origin of Sherlock Holmes is
i an old story, but it may be re.
called briefly here on account of a
certain timeliness. The character
was drawn from Joseph Bell, who
was one of Doyle's professors when
the latter was an undergraduate at
a Scottish university. Bells hob
bies were observation and deduc-
tion. He would bring a stranger
before his class and ask the class
to apply observation and deduction
and tell what the mans lifelong oc-
cupation had been. He himself
would swiftly say: This man has
been stonemason. and then point
a certain disfiguration in the mans
hands that had been the result of
his work in that calling. After
leaving the university and going to
the Arctic on whaling ship, Doyle
settled down to some lean years as
a medical practitioner. That part
of his life is reflected in The Stark.
Munro Letters" In unoccupied
hours, and he had many, he began
to write, first such tales as my
Friend the Murderer" and "The
Parson of Jackman's Gulch." Then
the memory of Prof Bell came to
him, and out of that and odds and
ends of suggestion drawn from
Poe's Dupin and Gaboriau's Lecoq
and Pere Tabaret he invented Sher
lock Holmes. The first Sherlock
Holmes story was "a Study in
Scarlet" narrative of about 80.
600 words. 1t was repeatedly re.
jected, but eventually the author
succeeded in selling it outright to
an obscure publication for f25.
Twenty years later very much in
ferior Sherlock Holmes stories were
bringing him, from all sources, ap-
proximately 81 word.
uERE is Doyle story that will
II probably be retold elsewhere
than in THE HERALD book section.
Just before he left for England
after his lecturing tour here in 1894
the Aldine Club of New York gave
him dinner. In his speech he told
how, arriving in Boston, the cab
man refused to accept any fare. but
asked for a ticket to the reading.
DIR. Doyle, surprised at the recogni-
tion, said: Tell me how you found
out who | am and you shall have
tickets for the whole family and
such cigars as you smoke in Amer
lea besides" Whereupon the cab
man answered.
If you will excuse personal
remarks, your coat lapels are

they have been grasped by the
