Hhimlil n popular votn Ito taken to decide who U tho lending American lltcrnrlan there In llttlo douht that tlm nninn of Mr. William Dean Hnwclls, whoso likeness appears hi tliU Issue, would lii'iid tho hot I))' n very large majority. As n novelist, essayist ami critic ho has won u reputation which Is based on thn solid foundation of genuine woith. Tho fact that his opinions, its expressed In his es ays and criticisms nru widely illsciisncd, and that certain of his methods as a writer of lie. lion art) severely criticised, Is proof of his leadership thn world does not talk ahoul little men. As it novelist he has been the leader of 11 new Hchool In fiction; he Ims drawn men and women rather than heroes and heroines. Ills stoiles have liotilependel upon tho fascination of Intricate nndsurpils I11K plots, simply because there are fuw Intri cate plot In the real life of real people. Ills essays havo provoked discussion because they have contained opinions, tho null dt-llncd opinions of a tlioimhtful, earnest and sincere writer, Imhued with the highest ideals of Ids art and persistently working for the loftiest alms. o Mr. llowells icprewnts today whutlshlgh est and noblest In American literature, mid whiht hu has attalneil high social Kltlou and literary prominence holms remained a per fectly simple and unspotted mill, with his sympathies going out in tho broadest way to tho American people, Tho story of his life has boon so often told that It 'is needless to repeat it hero. A country Itoy, u graduate of n country newspaper olll -o ho has earned his eminence In his profession by eonclen tioui hard work. When such n man as Mr. Howells allies himself with n literary enter prise It is an event of more than passing hu-. portauco in tho world of letters, and when a combination I formed with a (iirprlslngly sucto-sful and protfieislve magazine like tho CVsmojiof jftiu and a man of Mr. ilowells' Keuliis and standing Its slgnlllcauce is nppir uiit to tho least thoughtful. o o If your tea or lunohecn is to bo given this month, wny not make it an "Apple-blossom lunch'' In the centre of the table have a mirror, around which rumple carelessly and gracefully apiece of China silk of pink and white, tho shades of tho apple blossom. On tho mirror place it largo bowl either of cut glass or china, which Mil with apple blossoms, giving tho appearance of a mound. Allow tho blossoms to almost cover the low. From this to each guest's plate have strips of nar row pink and white ribbon. At tho ends have tied bow-knots, and on the ends of the ribbons also have written the mine of the guest to uxnipy that place. If your service of china could bo of pink and white, so much the better, if not, plain white. Have tho lit tle bread and butter plates at tho right baud of each plate; havo them empty, not too near the edge of tho table; 'ace must lie left for the cup and saucer. Tho guests aro mp- oed to put tho bread and butter on the plate as It is passed. Have two dishes of salad, also two of olives with cracked Ice; place them at the side of the mound of apple blotsoms and in tho folds of the silk. Eomo one has been so kind, erhaM my friend U'anatnaker, to send me a copy of the i Wif Oulilf, and in its psges I have found considerable Interesting matter. Here Is one article, somewhat abbreviated, that I think will interest my readers. It Is about the Dead Letter oftlce and how the Dead are disposed of; "Perhaps tho most curious, and to many certainly the most attractive lea ture of the operations of the Dead Letter of fice, Is Its annual sale of parcels for which no owners have been found. The solo takes place in December, prior to the holidays, and usually exhibits many of the stirring charac teristics of that interesting season, when tho accumulation of tokens of good will and af fection, and their proper distribution, en gross fo large a share of popular attention. About a week is required to dispose of the stock, and during the period the auction- mart is thronged, day and evening, with good-natured but earnest people, ladles usu ally predominating, who, apparently uudis mayed by previous disappointments, seem to be Impressed with the conviction that arti cles of great commercial value, or at least of superior .irtlstlo attractiveness, are included In the maw of matter upon which the de partment asks them to submit their esti mates," Here's another chapter of tlie same article: "Although careful observation has shown that article of very considerable Intrlimlo value are rarely entrusted to the inslls, ex cept under the guaranty of registration, it would be almost Impossible te estimate their sentimental value from the standpoint of the senders or of the disappointed expectants. Thair. actual, value, therefore, U.,noto lie measured by the sum of their original cost, oi by the lesser figure wblcb they fetch, but rather by the affectionate interest which In spired tbeir preparation and dispatch, and the weight of bitter disappointment which followed their non-receipt.

Hsi Jerry ot the llest of III In s II In Transaction. Uncle Jorry M linger Is n old farmer who Is celebrated In our part of tho coun try for his stinginess, miserly habits nud uull'i. Noonucver get the better of hltn In it bargain, mid he has a crafty way of evading alike tho lawn of man and of na ture. For Instance, the other day the miller saw him soaking his shelled corn In water. "What do you do that forr" Hiked the miller. "Saves grinding," said Undo Jerry. "Ain't you nfrnlil the good of the corn 'II gooff In the water'" said thu miller, angry nt being defrauded of his grist. "I cnlk'httc to make tlie critters drink tho water." drawled Uncle Jerry. Hut the time came when every one thought he hud met his mate. Illriiui Pickett owed Jerry 20, and lllrntn wiih:i lazy, poverty stricken 'longshore fisher man, who never paid his debts. "Hlrnm," whined Jeromlnh, itliuost bursting into tears, "that Vro Is nil I've got to losik to to pay my taxes and Insurance mid nil my winter expense. Why, 11 Irani, I ru'lly don't know which way to turn. Ain't there anything you could sell ko'h to pay mof" "No, thero ain't," said Hlrnm. "Yoti'voKotnpIg." "Yes, 'n I menu to keep him too." "I'm hound to have that 'ere money or Its equivalent," mild Jerry, and betook the sheriff to lllrum'H hut. There was not h lug Inside or outof tho llttlo cottage where Hlrnm lived that could bo Hulzcd bylaw except thu pig Tho large nud noble form of this nnliiuil wns reposing In company with ono of 111 rain's ragged children on n heap of sea weed lu uti outer apartment of the house. It was tho finest pig that Jerry had ever seen, of abort nosed Yorkshire breed, fed on tho crumbs that had fallen from thu ta llica of the rich. It had led u wild, green wood life, roaming In orchards mid cab bago gardens till it was um deslrnblo it pig as any that had ever grown fnt ou mast and ncornsin Virginia forests. "Tnku tho plgl" cried Jerry. "You can't," wild Hlrnm, "tho lnw al lows thu poor man ono swine, which nobody can't attach." "If he'd had two pigs," mild tho aherllT. "you could hnvu attached onu of them.'' A few days later Hlrnm was going home with mi eclspenr nud it crahuct over his shoulder. Ho missed Jeremiah's house and Daw thu old man leaning over the gnte. "You needn't Mink out of my wny like that, Hiram," mild Uncle Jerry meekly "1 haven't uotliin ug'iti you, Hlrnm, nor don't bear no umbrage on account of that bill, Illrain. Pay me when you've n mind. I know you've n good many mouths to feed, nud u hard time to git along with Hint family of your'n. You be n poor man." "Tluit'B it fact," wild Hlrnm. "1 have been wondering how I could help you, I know fishing Is poor now, uinl eels is skurcc, and chillis don't dig iih they Used to, and 1 1 Irani. I've clumgcd my mind about that bill. Let It stand over till spring." "All right," wild Hlrnm. "And Pin a-going to tmiko you n pres ent. I've got n lot of little pigs. I can't sell 'em nnd 1 enn't nfford to keep 'cm. Now, Hlrnm, I'm going to make you n present of a llttlo pig." Hiram hesitated. Wera not tho gifts of Jerry dangerous gifts? Do men gather grapes of thorns, or pigs of thistles? "I dtmuoez I kin dtt justice tertti plga." hu said. Jerry brought the pig out and showed It to llirnin. It was n very ninall pig. "Lordy massy I" wild H Irani to himself "Jcrry'a gettiughort o' old 'n childish, giv ing Christmas presents this tlmoo' year." He took It home. "My I" wild his wife scornfully; '"taln't wuth six 'n n quarter cents. ISetter look out, Hi. Jerry's up to f.omo mischief." They put It lu the pen with thu big pig nud tho llttloouo looked Htnnllerthnii ever. I need not go on with my tale. Ilhnin was then the owner of two pigs, nnd the law allowed the creditor to attach ono of them. That mime night the sheriff came to Hiram's hut with it warrant nnd seized tho largo pig.
