From the Chicago Tribune. | It isnot generally known that the editorship of Literary Life was refased by Ella Wheeler Wilcox before it was offered to Miss Rose Cleve- land. The Wisconsin poet had the good sense to perceive that the task of Sisyphus was one which the world never fully appreciates and seldom rewards, and the labor of rolling the stone dally, weekly, or monthly to the summit is unnoticed save by @ passing criticism, and | has to be paintally gone over and over again. Such labor, involving as it doee much poise, diserimination and decision of character 1d not have suited the natare and capacity 1s. Wilcox, who 18 one of the few uncalcu- “g Mortals left in this era ot calculation. : moral guide is her impulse, and she never stops tocount the cost of an action, or to sus- pect that others may be less generous’ than she in her judgment, Such a person, it can easily be seen, would have made an incompetent editor. Such a person is meant to be nothing under the sun but a poet. When in New York Mrs, Wilcox called one morning upon Mary Mapes Dodge, the editor ot St, Nicholas, After her card had been handed from a small boy to big boy, from a big boy to man, and from a man to lackey, she Was ushered {nto the sanctum. Mrs. Dodge looked up aay: still holding her pen in her band, any? said ‘Well, what do you want?” Mrs. Wilcox gasped for a moment, then thinking there “might be some mistake, {n- quired: “You recelved my card?” Mra, Dodge held up the eard for answer. “I thought it possible,” the abashed visitor explained, “that you might have heard of me belore, sald Mrs. Dodge, still m to offer “I never did.” By this time embarrass- iment Was beginning to give place wo anger in the mind of the intruder, and she found her tongue. “I would not have thought it so likely that you would have heard of me, although I have writen jor a great many years and publisied four books, but that you iiave yoursell accepted At jeast five of my poems.” “Indeed!” Mrs. Dodge condescended to say; “but then we have so mnany contributors,” “Besides,” went on Mrs, Wileox, still contin- uing her delense, “if you read the papers I thought you must have heard of me, for since I came to New York tour large recepuons have been given me at which aimost all of the lite- rary people of the city have been present, and as cach tion was honored with a column Teport in several of the daily papers—’ “seldom read the papers,” suid Mrs. Dodge. The western lady went home with chagrin her leart. She did a thing which not have been in the best taste, but which as due to herself and the proserva- er dignity. She sent copies of the accounts of these Various receptions at which noted people had read selections from her poems and of her last two published books to the of St, Nicholas. The next day a grucelul little note of apology arrived from Mrs, ‘Dodge, saying that her life was such a secluded one aid so filled with the round of editorial datics that she found herself ever and anon dropping behind the rest of the world. Ilad Mrs. Dodge reulized the true facts of the case she would’ have comprehended how se- Verely this ridiculous interview. told against her. AS a writer of purely sentimental verse few American women have surpassed Mrs, Wilcox. It would be safe to say that there is nota town in the United States, however re- mote, that has not been made acquainted with some’ of her 3,000 poems copied into, the ‘poets’ corner”’ ot the local paper, while in maby of these places the name of Mary Mapes Dodge would be an empty, meaningless sound. Miss Mulock or Mrs. Frances Hodgson Bar- nett could have made @ very pretty romance about the first year of Mrs. Wiicox’s married lite. Though she had long sinee passed girlhood, she had lost little of that fresh and brave radieal- and that unflinching enthusiasm whieh is suen a sur; nda eharm.

All of the young men of his town, the families of which were as well known to each other as If they had been related, were expected to marry somebody of their own Village as colorless as their New England ideal would permit. Into this oppressive | almosphere tbls western woman, full of verve, independence, and con- fidence in her powers, was brought Dy her bus- band. This well-bred and sleepy town was scandailzed. If one of the western buffaloes had been let Into their sacred china they could not have been more alarmed. They all calied ou her, but they did so surreptitiously, as they Would ‘have done Barnum’s “greatest show on earch.” They found a lady looking fifteen younger than her actual age, full of mi cordiulity, atraid to talk of nothing under the sun, actually having ideas whieh she dured to set Up in opposition to their own, and wearing house-dresses whose style scandullaed the tem- inine portion of the town. ‘These were white or cream satin gowns made as the women of Mme, de Staéi’s time wore theirs, with « watst- band under the arms, huge putty at shoulder dud elbow, and a Watieau plait at the back. ‘As every day Is a working day with this pro- liffe writer, these dresses, which were at once & combinuuon of beauty and of ease, were worn to do away with — the necessity of those restrictlons about the waist Which are a necessity to a formal toilet, and which are very difficult to write In.

From the American Field. Our advice to everybody is to go fishing. Every child who has spark of healthy ani- mation {nits little soul takes to fishing as spontaneously as a duck does to water. Noone has described so well this early pronenessof the human heart to this the earliest of pat times as Professor Wilson in “His Sporting Jacket” We can make room for only & single one of bisinimitable pictures on the subject: ‘There the new-breeched urchin stands on the low a of the little bit burnie; and with rooked pin baited with one unwrithiag ring of @ dead worm, and attached toa yarn thread— his rod of the mere wiliow or hazel wand—there will he stand during all his play hours, as for- getfal of bis primer as if the woary art of priat- ing bad never been invented, day after day, Tack titer week, month after month, 1a mul earnest, eart-mind-and-sou Of some’ time or other catch- tog anita, Gari, ae” ta, With ‘& face ten times flushed and pale by turns, ere You could count ten, he has at last strength, in the agitation of his fear and joy, to pull away at the monster. And there he lies in bis beauty among the gowans and the greensward; tor he has whopped him right over his head and far @ quarter of an ounce in weight, and at the very feast two inches long!” Fishing in some shape is within the reach of every one.

In the next place it takes one out of one's self, out of the cramped atmosphere of one's own thoughts, away from the cares and distractions of busi- ness life. It ison the bosom of the sea or of the great lakes, or along their shores, or by the breezy river, or willow-skirted stream, or noisy brook, that ‘the angler finds his natura? rest and occu: pation, far enough removed from the busy haunts of his fellows to get rid of the foul ai- mosphere too often engendered, morally and physically, by their herding together. Every genuine angler ought to drop all care and concern of the things of this life the mo- ment he drops his line into the water, He ought to and does learn to live ina different element, in which he sees, in imagination at least, sWarms of other inhabitants ready to Seize’ his bait, and grapple with him in the flerce contest tor victory. It is this glow or allusion of the imagination which lends to fishing much of its charm, and, we may add, gives to the ‘angler much ‘of his reputation for drawing the loug bow, for he is always ready to swear that the fish he lost was the biggest of the brook; and this is true in a certain seuse, since he saw, in bis mind’s eye, this big fellow swimming with thousands of Qthers nearly as large, way down In the liquid depths, Theu again the true angler walks, walks miles perhaps. Often he wades in mid-stream, with water up to his waist; and if a trout-fisher he travels iiles and miles in search of his Wary prey, with no more thought of cold, wet, futlgue or other exposure than the hound, With the inspiring scent ot fox or stag tickling his nostrils, and urging him on to new trials of speed or strengih, Here, after ail, is the angler’s true benison. Out of this cup of a day’s or a week's or a mouth’s tatigue (the longer the better) he quails a refreshing cordial. Out of that thistle, danger, he plucks the rose, safety, No better triend hus any man in this world than labor aud trlal—especially the labor aud trial met in u pure atmosphere, and consoried with such @ pustime as fishing. ‘jt ts not harsh aud crabbed, as dul: tools su) Bul sweet as is Apollo's lute.” aaa Try it, everyone whocan.

A SOCIETY MYTH, | Adventares of Col. C. Dulany Fairfax,of Baltimore. From the Baltimore American. The next time you seo the statement in any Paper that Col. C, Dulany Fairfax, of Balti- more, is listening to what the wild waves at Atlantic City are saying, don’t you believe it. Col. C. Dulany Fairfax is a myth, and a first- class myth at that. In fact, by the use of this name, some fun-loving citizen of Baltimore has been having @ lot of innocent amusement, and bas enjoyed many a hearty laugh, no doubt, at the statements he has seen published about his protege. For tully two years now Col. Fairfax has been traveling around in the summer resort columns of the different papers at a rate to which a lightning express isn't @ marker, Pick up the Sun one day and you would find @ little personal like this: “Colonel C, Dulany Fairfax, of Baltimore, is spending the summer at the’ White Sulphur ings.” This seems all right, but two or three days after you would find, pethaps, in the American the statement that— “Colonel C. Dulany Fairfax, of Baltimore, 1s enjoying himself in the surf at Long Branch.” ‘Theu a fow days later up he would bob again, and in some other paper you would learn that— “Colonel C. Duluny Fairfax, of Baltimore, is occupying his cottage at Newport.” ‘The insertion of these personals was secured by sending postal cards containing them to the ditferent newspaper oifices. No one their uecuracy, and they were published, On juestioned | | Thursday morning Col. C. Delany Fairfax made | his appearance in the New York World as a contributor of ten cents to the fund for the tribute to Gladstone.

Fairfax, Jr. were at Cresson sprin he postal card was postinarked Baltimore, and Was put in the post olfice at 9 p.m, on Friday, Then, in the News of yesterday afiernoon ap- peared a summer resort note to the effect that Col. C, Dulany Fairfax and wife, with several other Baltimoreans, are registered at the Grand Union, Saratoga. It was about two years ago that Col. C. Dulany Fairfax came Into prominence. A well-known citizen of this town lost a valuable dog, and ad- Vertised for it, offering a reward for 1s return, He received a letter, signed by Col. C. Dulany Fairlax, stating that he had found the dog, and that it could be recovered at such and such a number on 2d street, in “The Belt.” made at the number given showea regidenis at this house were three m iden ladies, who had been there ever since the house was Built. No such man as Col, C, Dulany Fairfax ever lived there. Inquiry was then made as lo Whether there was any such man in Baltimore as C. Dulany Fatriax. The publisher ofa directory, in which the name of @ D. Fuir- lax was given, stated that just before the direc- tory went to press he received a postal card ex. plaining that as Col. Fairfax was not at home when a directory canvasser called, it was ver. probable that bis name was not obtained. Colonel Fairfax was very anxious that his name be inserted. He gave the number on 2d street us his residence. From that time to this the colonel has been’ enjoying himself at the seaside or in the mountains in summer, or in the far south in the winter, or has been giving good advice to people who have lost valuables, or maiing appolotiments at mythical places, In tact, the colonel seems to enjoy lite hugely, and, though he has led a few men off oron wild, goose chases, most of his jokes have been very armless ones, Some people think that the mythical colonel 4s the fuvention of the fertile brain of a proml- neni club man.
