It 1h n trite saying that limny vnl
uiiblo discoveries have resulted from
mero nceident. The history of the
arts and sciences has demonstrated
tho truth of the proposition. Eut
did it over strike tho reader that a
similar remark will apply with equal
force to tho literature? Tho biog
raphies of scores of noted' authors
show that the creation of their' no
blest works Was duo to some- ttlfllng
nlranniHtiitipp. ' '
A sudden impulse, an idea, an in
spiration If you ehooso to call lt( that
may have Intel Its origin in an acci
dent but'for Which tho world would
have remained Ignorant of tho 'gen
ius, uay oven of tho exlstcilco of
some man of marvelous literary
ability. Sir Roger Achsam wa in
duced to write "The Schoolmaster,"
tho wi-rk on which his fiunochielly
rests, by a friend who heard him de
nounce, In Vigorous terms, tho'prac'
tico of Hogging in school. Cowley
becamo a poet by accident; ho got
hold of n copy of Spenser's "Faery
Queon," when but a boy, and so
deeply was ho impressed with its
beauties that ho made poetry a study
and finally dedicated himself whol
ly to the muses.
Bimiccspoar'B wild ways wnen a
youth brought him into disgrace in
his town, causing him to abandon
his t ratio of wool carding and to Join
a company of players. This acci
dent made him llrst an actor ami
next a writer of plays.
A sonteneo uttered by Molieso's
grandfather led tho young man to
turn from a life of dissipation and
prepaio for tho stage. The grand
father was fond of plays and often
wont to seo thorn In company with
Ids grandson. Molieru's father did
not Mm tills, and angrily asked if
his sou wan to bo mado an actor.
"Would to heaven," returned tho
man "that ho wero as good mi actor
as Montrose." Tho youth was
struuk by these winds; ho became
dissatisfied with his trade and left
It, and as a result became a renown
ed actor and playwright.
Instances llko theso may bo mul
tiplied indellnitcly; In fact tho his
tory of men of letters aoounds In
thorn, and one who retlects on the
.subject at all cannot fail to como to
tho conclusion that poets, philoso
pliers and historians, as well as In
ventors, lmvo frequently been start
ed on tho road to fame by accident.
Johnson dellned genius as "a mind
of geiieral powers accidentally de
termined by some particular direc
tion" a ilellnltlon which very few
In these daystwould pronounce ab
solutely acouraUi and yet It-contains
a truth, if not tho whole truth.
Tho great philosopher regarded tho
mission of the' au thorns tin humble
one. "'IV talk in private, to think'
in solitude, to inquire or to answer
Inquiries Is the business of the schol
ar. Ho wanders about through the
world without pomp or terror, and
U neither kiiowu iter valued but by
men llko himself." Milton hnd a
grander conception of "that lasting
fame ami iwrpotuItyofpraUo which
Clod nml ,good men lmvo consvmtod
shall Ik the reward of thoso 'whoso
published labors advanced tho good
of ui.iuklud,"
To make a grout name Is a task
more dllhVult than to accum
ulate ti groat fortune. Young
author who Hnd it difficult to
nwure publishers for their works,
should not let this fret or disooumge
thorn, nir nmny of tho most colo-
brated writers met with the same
obstacle at thoTnitsetuf their ytoN
nry cartvr. - Wlwu Hterne finished
"Tristram Shandy" he offered It to
a publisher for 50, but the offer
was declined. Tho sermon In that
eccentric work had been published
years before, but It fouhd Neither
pirrcbiiserf nor readers. 'BuV when
at htstrties'ucceellea'in getting "Tris
tram Shandy" '"before the people it
met with sucha reception that till his
writings wero collected and publish
ed, when, of course they had a ready
sale. Gray's first published verses
attracted no attention. Miltori'rc-
celved 5 for "Paradise Lost," with
the promiso of tho samo sum as soon
as 1300 conies had been sold. He
received two additional payments be
fore his death and his widow one
after that event, and fourteen years
after tho first publication of the
wbrk the publisher secured full pos
session of It on payment of 8. Dan
iel DeFoo was tin author of estab
lished reputation when he wrote
"Robinson Crusoe," vet tho manu
script of tho tale went tho rounds
of the publishers', but no one would
print it. Finally terms wero ar
ranged with a bookseller, who agreed
to bring out tho work as a specula
tive enterprise. He made over 1,000
guineas out of tho Job, but what the
author got Is uncertain.

A railroad man told a reporter the
other day the following Incident of
travel on the O. & C. railroad : "I
was coming from Portland la9t
week," said he, "when I became ac
quainted in a Pullman car with a
tourist from New York. ' Ho had
been up in Minnesota. I was tak
ing1 a lunch' on the1 train, and I in
vited him to cat With nle. 'He
seemed very glad of the cha'nee. 'I
haven't been eating ntlicK lately,'
ho remarked in an oil' hand way.
'Why what's the matter-? Been
slckV 'Oh nd.' Then ho stuck his
hand into his pockiit aruT'brought
out three nicklcs. 'Tho fact is', 'he
continued, 'that's ovcry cetit I've
got about me. A nice way,t6 travel,
ain't it and In a Pullman car," too?'
1 asked him how it happeued,' and
he told nie lie had struck a card
sharp oil the road. 'I played just
$250 Wortli of poker with th'atfcllo'w,'
said he, 'and I've only these three

Tho statement was recently pub
lished that a 'woman at Corslcana,
Tex., had given birth tosix children,
and it was followed by the news from
Mllbury, Mass., that Mrs. Frank de
Grooto of that place hud given birth
to four girl babies. The last state
ment was true, 'and Dr. Slocumb,
who assisted the little girls into the
world, wanted to know more about
the Texas sextet. So ho wroto to
the postmaster at C6rsicana 'asking

was: "No truth in It whatever."
