Summer resorters from twenty two different states are spending their ‘vactions on the shores of Lake Bem- §dji. Wait until we get the “Wileon hotel at W. A. Ville. ‘Wonder how the reduction in ex- press rates will efftc the parcels post dbusiness. Uncle Sam will find a keen <ompetitor in the package delivery business, when it bucks up against the Express companies. It would be a fine looking entrance to the city if a portion of that vast paving space near the Great Western depot were boulevarded, placinv in the center a large bed of flowers and shubbery, surrounded by our up to date paving. Cost less money too. As Professor Taft, from his quiet Tetreat at New Haven, watches the worries of Woodrow Wilson as the Jatter struggles with congress, the Mexican situation, the Venezuelan situation, the Michigan strike situa- tion and a half dozen other “situa- tion” he probably reflects that the ‘ways of Providence—and the Ameri- can voters are best, after all—BEx. A just workmen’s compensation law is to be one of the laws to result from a Democratic administration. “Learn One Thing Every Day.” . NO. 4, JAMES novelist worthy to James Both A historical It may be due to the fact that James Lane Allen was a seventh child that he has achieved such re- marable success in literature. He was born in Fayette County, near Lexington, Kentucky, in 1849, the youngest child of Richard and Helen Allen. He came mumber among his paternal ancestors some of the first NOVELISTS LANE ALLEN settlers of Virginia. One of these an- cestors, Richard - Allen, moved to Kentucky, where he lived the easy, hospitable life of a gentleman far- mer on his large estate. Mr. Allen’s mother was a 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 inspir- ed in her son a love for reading old romances, 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 relize its horrors u:_d the suffering that it brought to the people of the South. Just before the beginning of the war his father lost his fortune so the formal education that Allen received was small; but _|under his mother’s guidance he pur- sued his studies at home. Long walks in the fields and forests .about his home gave him a keen insight into nature, He was graduated from Tragnsyl- vania University at Lexington, Ken- tucky, in 1872, and three years later recelved a degree of A. M. from there. A little before this his father died, and James had to begin teaching in order to meet expenses. He spent a Yyear as master in a country school, waking six miles to and from the school every day. For two years he taught in Mis- The object of such legislation is to supplant the old liability statutes. There are plenty of reasons why this should be done. When a workman is kiiled, it is at present necessary for the widow to accept an unreasonable compromise or go to court. She is poor and often absolutely penniless. The torporations have high-salaried coun- sel, and they know how to have the litigation continued and defeated. In the end the widow may be forced to atcept a mere pittance. The railroads pay yearly more than $1,000,00 for personal injuries. It is asserted that after the cases bkave been fought through court af- ter court. Corporations being willing and able to carry a case to the sup- reme court simply to defeat the claim ©f some poor man who has lost a leg or an arm, that less than $3,000,000 of the $11,000,000 finds its way to ike pockets of the injured. The re- wmainder is eaten up by attorneys’ fees, costs, witness fees and general expense. SOLVE INSURANCE PROBLEM Missouri Companies Will « Resume Business in a Few Days. St. Louis, Aug. 8.—That the 132 fire insurance companies which withdrew from thé state after the passage of the Orr bill by the last legislature will resume business in Missouri within a couple of days was the information Which came from Jefterson City. A committee representing the fire insurance companies is now at Jef- ferson City ready to enter into nego- tiations with Attorney General Bar- ker for the resumption of business and the dismissal of the suits pending un- i found souri, and then came back 'to"‘lv(ez'n- { tucky as a private tutor. He was call- ed to his alma mater to teach, and two years later Bethany- College, in West Virginia, 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 a doctor of medi- cine attracted him. This was when he was doing graduate work at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore. But his love of literature led him to take up writing, and in 1884 he moved to New York.. He arrived there un- known and with no letters of intro- duction; but “he took up his abode in a-garret and started out in a very humble way.” He sent letters to the New York Evening Post, poems to Harper’s and the Atlantic Monthly, and essays to the Critic and the For- um. A criticisim of Henry James’ “Portrait of a 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 Kentucky” was the title given to the collection volume of these sketches. - Mr. Allen. then moved to Cincin- nati; but later moved again to Wash- ington, believing that the capital of the country would be the future home of literature and art in Ameri- ca. In Washington, however, he too much social and official distraction; so he returned to New York. “The Kentucky Cardinal,” pub- lished in 1895, is one of Mr. Allen’s best books. It is a sort of pastoral poem in prose, showing the struggle ibetween Nature and Love. “The Choir Invisible” shows the noble love of a married woman for a mar who is not her husband. James Lane Allen is best known i very lowest point.
