Since everybody engages In map making
or map stttdying nowadays , the Bookman
presents a literary map of the United States
designed by Paul WiUalch , formerly literary -
ary editor of the Washington Times. It is
Interesting , chiefly as a novelly , but it contains -
tains the material for some suggestions on
the literary relations of new and old Amer.
lean authors. The map shows the geographical -
ical range of accepted and familiar authors
to each other , delimiting the haunts of their
"local color" and marking oft the territorial
rlghts to which they may be said to lay
claim as ploneers and conquerors These
territorial clntms of Various authors overlap
each other in confusion , but they do not
cover the whole territory. The names of
llawthorne , Lowell and Drown are to be
seen in Massachusetts ; Wilkins and Wiggins
to the south of their claim ; Matthews and
Davis In lower New York , and Cooper is
alone In the territory for which ho is
famous ; Irving has the Hudson valley , Frederic -
eric central New York and Taylor a part
of Pcnnsylvanla ; Page and Smith have Virginia -
ginia ; Stowe , Allen and Fox cover Kentucky -
tucky ; Craddock has eastern Tennessee
alone ; Simms and Barris are farther to the
southeast ; Riley and Eggleston are in Indiana -
diana , and around Chicago appear the names
of Field , Me , Taylor and Fuller. The
Mississippi valley has Cable at the lower
end and Longfellow a little further up , then
Clark Twain and again Longfellow has a
strip of territory In Minnesota. Iowa Is
marked as belonging to Octave Thanet , while
Hnmlln Garland gets South Dakota. In
the farther west appear the names of Win-
tot , Remington , "II. II. Dan Quin , Bret
] carte , Miller and I'ernald.
The significant part of this map Is that
vast regions are marked as unclaimed.
Garland alone has written of the life between -
tween the Missouri river and the Rocky
mountains , or at least , he alone has produced -
duced literature that Is worthy of a per-
( manenl place on the shelves. Other names
1
readily suggest themselves in this connection -
tion , but they have yet to gain tame. " 0 ,
fqr an artist who can catch the local color
that is everywhere on these boundless
pralrles , " said Ilamlin Garland a few years
agelie has come nearer to telling about
It that any of the others Unless it 18 Octave
Thanet , but the field is practically unexplored -
plored yet. And then the Rocky mountain -
tain region-what a glorious field for the
coming American novelist ! It is true that
pictures have been given of camp life and
travel over the rugged mountains , but there
Is much more than this that the novelists
ought to find for their readers , It Is too
bad that so many really good American
authora get away from their native land in
their stories. American life Is the most
picturesque , the most varied , the most Interesting -
teresting in the world. Fifty years hence
the literary map of the United Stales ought
not to have so much unclaimed territory
upon it ,
An instructive contribution to the litera-
taro relating to the Indians and other tribes
of uncivilized persons Is that by Major
John 1V , Powell 1n the current number of
the Forum , Major Powell's extensive acquaintance -
quaintance with the Indian tribes and with
evidences of the customs of the tribes of
the past well fits him to write on the sub ,
ject of "How a Savage Tribe Is Governed , "
lie says fiat savagery is a status of culture
to the ethnologist , who recognizes four such
stages , of which savagery is the lowest. In
tribal society people are grouped or regimented -
mented in bodies of kindred , "A tribe is a
group of people composed of clans , a clan
Is a group of people having a common name"
be writes. "Suppose that a tribe springs
from four persons , viz. , a brother and a
sister belonging to one clan , and a brother
and sister belonging to another clan , and
that each of the men marries the other's
sister. Let us call one of our clans 'wolf , '
and the other 'eagle. The wolf-man marries -
ries the eagle-woman ; and the eagle-man
marries the wolf-woman , This is the first
generation of a tribe composed of two clans ;
the man and his wife belonging to different
clans. The four persons belong to two clans ,
and constitute two fames. ] ] ] Let us suppose -
pose that each couple has four children , two
boys and two girls. They will belong to
two clans. The children of the wolf-mother
will belong to the wolf clan , and the children -
dren of the eagle-mother to the eagle clan.
This is the second generation. Then four
people of the second generation and two of
the first generation belong to the wolf clan ;
and four of the second generation and two of
the first generation belong to the eagle clan ,
Thus ) ve see that clans do not correspond
to what in modern culture we call the
family , The husband and wife belong to
different clans ; and the children belong to
the clan of the mother. The mother , not
the father , owns the children ; and the husband -
band Is but the guest of his wife , not the
head of the household. ' Major Powell pursues -
sues this subject into all its details and in
a way that will give all readers a better
understanding of the subject than any they
have hitherto held , Aside from this the
August Forum has a fine list of special ar
titles , including a pleasing literary study
under the bead of "New Trials for Old
Favorites" by Prof. Brander Matthews ,
In The Slate , a monthly magazine of high
class literature , published in Tacoma , there
appears a hitherto unpublished poem by
Calla Thaxter and that ] hero may be no
doubt about Its nuthenticlty a facsimile of
the same is pubfahed as it appeared in her
own handwriting. The poem is short , but
ebaracterislio of the sweet poet , and it Is
accorapanled by reminiscences of the author
by her early friend and schoolmate , Mrs. E.
N. Fuller. There Is In the same magazine
a sonnet by Ella Iiiggloson , and a short
story by Mrs. Lucy- Foster Madison of Kan-

The first number of The Crltle In Its new

often , but ! t is probable that most. persons
who tale delight in critical literaure will
ho satisfied with the monthly visits of the

" \V'hlz" Is a new story by Amelia Weed

Ing more nor less than a charming little love
story in a somewhat famlllar form , but with
new trimmings. Like all such stories it
starts In some quaint village of the eastern
slates and sweeps grandly across the continent -
tinent as though that was the easiest thing
in the world for the builder
of a love story ,
and It culminates to a little place somewhere

PREDERiC , Md. , Aug. 9.-Francis Scott
Key , the author of "The Star Spangled Banner -
ner , " was honored today in this , his native
city , by the dedication of a handsome monu-
meal erected to his memory , The preliminary -
inary ceremonies included a parade in which
military and civic organlzatlcns from all
parts of the state took part , and which
was witnessed by thousands of residents and
visitors. The buildings along the 11ne of
march were gaily decorated with the national -
tional colors.
When the procession reached the foot of
the monument , the order of exercises was
proceeded with. This lncludedprayer , vocal
and instrumental music , an oration by lion ,
Henry Watterson of Kentucky , an address
by Mrs , Donald McLean of New York and
an ode by Folger McKinsey of Baltimore ,
The cord which released the drapery uncovering -
covering the monument was then drawn by
Miss Julia McHenry Howard , granddaughter
of Francis Scott Key.
llenryVntterson'a Tribute.
Mr , Watterson said in part :
Since the "Star Spangled Danner" was
written nearly a century has come and
gone. The drums and tramplings of more
than half its years have passed over the
grave of Francis Scott Key. Here at last
he rests forever. Here at last his tomb Is
fitly made , When his eyes closed upon the
scenes of this life their last gaze beheld
the cosign of the republic "full , high ad-
t'auced , its arms and trophies streaming
in their original lustre , not n stripe erased
or polluted , nor a single star obscured , "
If , happily , they were spared the spectacle
of a severed union , and "A land rent b' civil
feud and drenched in fraternal blood ; ' it
may be that somewhere beyond the stars
his gentle spirit now looks down upon a
nation awakened from Its sleep of death
and restored to its greater or Its better
self , and known and honored , as never before -
fore throughout the world. Whilst Key
lived there was but a single paramount
issue , about which all other irsues circled ,
the constitution and the union.
The problems of the constitution and the
union solved , the past secure , turn we to the
future ; no longer a huddle of petty sovereignties -
ereignties , held together by a rope of sand ;
no longer a body of mercenary shopkeepers
worshipping either the brand upon the dollar -
lar or the eagle and the shield ; no longer
a brood et provincial laggards , banging
with bated breath upon the movements of
I mankind , afraid to trust themselves away
from home , or to put their principles to the
Itest of progress and arms , but a nation and
a leader of nations ; a world power which
durat taco imperialism upon its own ground
with republicanism , and with it dispute
the future of civilization. It Is the will of
God ; let not man gainsay until the word
of God has been curried to the furthermost
ends of the earth , and freedom is the heritage -
age of all his creatures ; not until the blessings -
ings which Ho has given us are shared
by His people in all lands ; not until Latin
licentiousness , fostered by modern wealth
and culture and art , has been expiated by
fire , and Latin corruption and cruelty have
disappeared from the goverrment of men ;
not until sober-suited , Anglo-Saxonism
which , born at Runnymede , was to end
neither at Yorktown nor at Appomattox ,
has made , at one and the same time , another -
other map of Christendom and a new race
of Christians and yeoman , equally soldiers
of the sword and of the cross , even In
Africa and In Asia , as we have made them
here in America. Thus , and thus alone , and
wherever the winds of heaven blow shall
fly the spirit if not the actuality of the
blessed symbol we have come here this day
to glorify ; ashamed of nothing that God
hsa sent , ready for everything that God
may send ! It was not a singer of the fireside -
side , but a homeless wanderer , who put in
all hearts the Anglo-Saxon's simple "Home
Sweet Home , " It was a poet , not a warrior -
rior , who gave to our union the Anglo-
American's homage to his flag. Even as the
prince of peace , who came to bring eternal
life , was the son of God , were these His
ministering angels , and , as each of us ,
upon his knees , sends up a prayer to heaven
for "home , Sweet Home ; may he also
murmur , and teach his children to lisp , the
sublime refrain of Key's Immortal anthem-
And the Star Spangled Banner , Oh , Long
may it wave ,
O'er the land of the free and the home of
the brave.
Description of the Monument.
The monument erected to the memory of
Francis Scott Key , author of the "Star
Spangled Banner , " and unveiled today in
Mount Olivet cemetery , In Frederick City ,
Md „ by his great-granddaughter , Julia
McHenry Howard of Baltimore , consists of
a circular pedestal of gray granite on a
series of wide spreading roses , The height
of this pedestal is fourteen feet nine inchys ,
and its breadth at the base is fifteen feet ,
making the base forty--five feet ! n clrcum-
ference ,
it is exceedingly simple in design save
for a band of carving , around the base of
lhe die , and a hand of stars under the
cornice , the sculptor having devoted more
time and study to the simplicity and bar-
tnony of its outline than to florid elabora-
tion. Nevertheless , tle whole effect of the
design is one of elaboraticn owing to its
sculptors. The8o consist of a bronze statue ,
nine feet high , surmounting the granite
pedestal-a portrait of Francis Scott Key.
Key Is represented on shipboard ( By the
dawn's early light ) , and upon the band that
girdles the pedestal beneath his feet is the
inscription , " 'Tis the 'Star Spangled
Banner' , " which certifies that these were
the words that inspired his soul when be
discovered that "The flag is still there , "
His attitude Is one of cxultatlon and inspiration -
spiration , as with the right arm he mdi-
catc8 to his companions the fact , and with
the other he holds aloft the hat that he
has just snatched from his head in an notion -
tion of reverential salute to the starry ban-
nor. The pose of the heroic figure 1s beautiful -
tiful , graceful , full of spirit and life. The
expression of his face Is characteristic ef
the calm joy of the inspired soul upon beholding -
holding "at the dawn's early Hybl" the
beloved flag of "the land of the free and
the home of the brave. " The costuming
is correct , historically , and finely poetic.
The pedestal and base unite originality
and rarity with chaste and classic ahn-
pllclty and charm. The group , meant as an
ornament to the statue , becomes , under
perfect treatment , a charming story within
itself , a study that cannot help but educate
the young as well as the odd-the republic ,
the proud , imperious , dauntless mother , pro.
tooting her two children with a fearless and
loving embrace beneath the folds of the
flag that baa inspired the poet above their

Group Symlolixes , Patriotism ,
At the base of the pedestal , on a massive
granite block of five tons weight , is this
bronze group , emblematic of patriotism. It
consists of three figures. The central , cc
principal one , is that of a female symboliz-
lag the "Goddess of Patriotism. Her
height , If standing , would be fully seven
feel. She is represented as sitting In an
easy , natural position. The figure is large
and Imposing. The face , full and well
formed , purely allegorical , devoid of any
definite expression , is strikingly beautiful
and attractive. On the back of her bead
Is a Grecian bonnet , and around the brow a
wreath of laurel , The bust is clad in a
becoming corsage reaching well up over the
chest and held in position by artistically
carved bands , caught , where they cross the
bosom , by a medallion , and upon the
shoulders by buckles of gimna' heals ,
About her waist is a band , or broad girdle ,
ornamented with raised stars around the
tower border , and in , the center with a
shield , an eagle and a flag. The right arm
Is extended in an easy and graceful manner ,
and the hands hold a staff , from which the
starry banner falls in folds. The staff Is
surmounted by a spread eagle. On her left
1s the figure of a boy , apparently about
fifteen years of age , standing erect , his
hands resting on a sword , representing war.
The tare is strikingly firm , expressing tem'
per an 1 great determination. 1lcr left arm
embraces and partly supports the nude
figure of a boy about 5 years of age , repre.
seating song or mt sic. In his left hand
he holds a lyre antI with the right grasps
the overhanging folds of the flag by which
it is partly enveloped. It is apparent that
the tender youth of the child falls td grasp
the significance of the lesson , but the instinctive -
stinctive expression of his face and extended -
tended hand illustrates the idea that patriotism -
triotism never is , nor can be , the result of
calculated teachings , but springs from the
heart as instinctively as the love of a child
for its mother , even by the dawn's early
light of intelligence.
Beneath the group , on the face of Its base ,
is carved the seal of Maryland , surrounded
by laurel and resting on a palm branch that
extends across the face of the atone. In the
rear of the monument , resting on its base ,
is a tablet bearing the text of "The Star
Spangled Danner. "
The cornerstone of the monument was
laid on Flag day , June 11 , last , wlth tmpos-
lag ceremonies , by Hon. Thomas J , Shryoek ,
grand master of Masons of Maryland , and
the other state otflcials of that body. In
honor of the occasion n grand street pageant
was held , participated in by civic and military -
tary organizations. In a crypt deeply sunk
in the eight-foot foundation of the monument -
ment repose the remains of Francis
Scott Key and his wife , Mary Taylor
Key. They were removed there from
their former resting place in an obscure -
scure section of the cemetery by the
association , by permission of his two daughters -
ters , Mrs. Howard and Mrs. Steele , prior to
their death , which occurred only recently.
DIED IN HIS COUNTRY'S CAUSE
flow Exceptional Chlengo Chnrit7
Cared for the Widow of a
Ilrav a Sailor Lad.
CHICAGO , Aug , 9-Miss E. D. Holmes ,
assistant superintendent of the Burtau of
Associated Charities and acting superintendent -
ent of the Army and Navy league , bas
played the part of a Good Samaritan in a
drama of hardship and patient suffering In
which the closing scene will be the burial
of one of Uncle Sam's sailors , whole death
was due to his service to his country.
List week a large Chicago business house
received word from the Mare Island hospital -
pital at San Francisco that a man-of-wars'
man who had been employed by the firm at
the outbreak of hostilities with Spain had
died from the effects of the intense beat
he had suffered while serving In the engine
room of the Philadelphia. The message cc-
qu'sted that his family be informal. A
search wps begun by the management of the
concern for the sailor's relatives , as it was
known he had a wife and two children living -
ing in Chicago. They were not to be found ,
however , and It was when the search had
almost been abandoned that it waa learned
the widow had taken her tw" little children
and had gone to the Dunning poor house.
She knew of the army and Navy league and
its willingness to assist persons In her posl-
tion , but having been once in more comfortable -
fortable circumstances , and being of a proud
nature , she chose rather to take what the
county offered than to be dependent upon
charitable organization.
Her case was brought to the attention of
Miss Holmes and a few minutes after the
telephone message had been received at the
oIDce in the Masonic temple , she was on the
way to the county institution , There she
found a wan little woman , about to become
a mother. The sailor's widow , it was learned ,
never had done a hard day's ' work in her
life and her appearance was entirely out of
keeping with her surroundings. She remained -
mained there no longer , however , but was
taken under the personal care of boss
Holmes. She has a sister in San Francisco ,
who is caring for one of her children and
who Is willing to give the woman and her
little ones at home. The mother had no
, aoney to pay her way across. the continent ,
however , and would not ask aid of anybody.
Cnder an assumed name she preferred to
suffer 1n silence among the paupers at Dun-
ning. Wednesday , however , she will be
placed aboard a Santa Fe train and will depart -
part for the scene of her husband's death
and her future home.
The storyof the dead husband is one of
devotion to country. Reverses of a few
years ago bad driven him train a condition
of comparative affluence to the position o1
mall carrier. Later prosperity returned and
he obtained a position in a beading wholesale -
sale house o1 the city. Then came the war ,
In his younger days and before his marriage
riage he bad spent fifteen years in the
United States navy , A large part of his
travel had been In the Pacific and he went
to Mare island the day after war was declared -
clared ,

Dlorning flours.
The weather men kindly handed out a
specimen of their best brand yesterday in
honor of the visiting delegations of Red Men
and of the Iowans who wear the badges of
the Knlghls of Pythias. A delightful breeze
from the south sprung up before the trains
bearing the Iowans dressed the big bridge ,
and even wberi the sun shone most brightly
later In the day , his rays were not Intolerable -
able , so tempered were they by the southern
zephyrs.
But this was not the only welcome extended -
tended to the visitors , There were a
her of Omahans , some of , the uniform rank ,
others of the un-uniformed rank and a few
of no rank at all , at the railway stations
to give the glad hand and a badge to each
visiting delegate. The knights were not the
only people on the Incoming trains , although
they were many. Their wives and sweethearts -
hearts accompanied them to a very considerable -
siderable extent , One Omahan , who had the
exposition schedule down pat , remarked :
"Well , 1 thought September 2 was to be
Peach day , but there appear to be a few
peaches coming in here today , " He is wise ,
and knows just exactly what he is talking
about , It seems that most of the pretty
girls of Iowa and Nebraska had bit upon
the same day to visit the great exposition ,
As they came up town and Improved the

street took a little time to "rubber. "
In addition to the several thousand visitors
who crowded every street car and bus run-
log from the railway stations , there was
nether lot of visitors who were noticed on
ho' streets for the first time. They were a
number of the Rosebud tribe of Indians from
the government's congress of Indians at the
exposition grounds. They spent the mornIng -
Ing down town , escorted by their interpreter ,
and appeared to enjoy their outing from the
teepees. They gazed at the big buildings ,
walked through the corridors of the leading
hotels , rode about on the trolley cars , and
exptcssed their comments on the city's institutions -
stitutions in language that was evidently not

was brought for the recovery of the money.
The defendants filed a general demurrer to
the plaintiff's petition in which they alleged
that the transaction was one of borrowing
money , not one of receiving moneyon de-
posite , and that said borrowing was 1n
violation of the national banking act and
that as a result the sureties were not liable

borrowing and that even it It were regarded
as a loan It would not be in violation of the
