IMPJSSIBLE CLASSIC HEROES.
The Character lirawn by Old Writers
Not at A'l True to Life.
Some of the older novelists in deal
ing with old . ome. the feudal days
in France, (Jermany or England, or
with pioneer life, make their charac
ter belong simply to another timo in
Ihe now world, initead of another
race and world of their own. s;us a
writer in the New KnglanJ Magazine.
In endeavor. ng to reproduce scenes
-and social conditions which have
piissed away, many historical novel
ists con use the conditions and peren
nial human nature. They label their
characters according to their social
btat ons and confuse these xociat dis
tinctions with the qualities of the
spirit. They give us men and wo
men whom (iod would fail to recog
nize but whom the critica more acute,
readily hall as models and types for
their students of human nature. Their
characters are nearly nil mounted on
stilts; they are animated by motives
and considerations which are quite
impossible, and they talk as hum m
beings never talked in this world.
They deal not with the exceptional,
wh.ch is possible and artistic, but
with the impossible, which is carica
ture. Their old Komans and barons and
highwaymen, etc.. stalk through the
scene mouth ng platitudes and "sen
tim nts." wheroas we may be quite
certain that they occupied tneimelvei
chiefly with cheating, lying, cring
ing, stealing. scheming. dining,
drinking, dissipating, working, gos
siping, gaming, and talking slang, ust
as men are doing in the streets, marts,
public offices, theaters, etc., of i'aria
London and New York to day. And
beneath all this action there was al
ways a crude philosophy, classifying
and analyzing both motives and
action. One would imagine from the
romant'c representations of these
phases of life that thia reflective
habit of mankind was an invention of
yesterday, and did not really date
beyond the decline of the Uoinan em
pire to the philosophy and civiliza
tion of Greece These same virtues
and vices exist to day, and never will
bo eradicated, no matter how high
civilization rises; but. except in ihe
very lowest plane of human hfo, where
the relation to humanity is scarcely
mord than that of the human form.
men in all ages have sought lor a
solution of the riddle of existence, and
hence have, in a more or less crude
fashion, reflected upon action.
An Awkward Mom rut.
It was on the avenue A young
Harvard man walking rapidly down
from the new bridge overtook a pretty
girl he knew. The two walked on
together toward the shopping region
of the city. The girl had to stop to
inspect a flat in a new building, an
errand for her father, and the young
Harvard man stopped with her. But
they got through the errand in no
time at all for the janitor asked them
how large their family was and how
soon they should like to move in. And
now this girl makes her father in
spect the fiats in his new build ngs
himself.
Another Victim.
He came from the base ball grounds
with his eyes blacked, his arm in a
sling and a decided limp in his left
leg.
Were you the umpire?" somebody
asked.
. 'fo: I was tha maicot."
