GREATEST _ AUTHOR OF THE WORLD AT THE PRESENT TIME. -- Is An Opinion Offered of Thomas Hardy--He Lives in Dorset,' England--It Somewhat of a Recluse, Hating Society. It is not often that one hears any- thing of Thomas Hardy. An occasion- al book and he is silent. He is not paragraphed in the papers. He shuns the society that must be written with a big 8. Wet he shares with Meredith the honor of being the greatest writer of the age. "When | am dead, the only one of my books that will be read is 'Jude the Obscure,' "' he remarked a short time ago. The public will disagree with this statement and usually the public is the best judge. Hardy's lifé story is not packed with romance; indeed, it is a very He has lived in Dorset simple one. lived - county, England, all his life. Heis a Jover of nature, and no man can wield his pen in nature's interest so well. On the outskirts of Dorchester vou will find him in a red brick house, surrounded by tall trees that hide the building from the inquisitive. Here Thomas Hardy, recluse and ° genius, lives and writes. I do not think it is generally known that the first novel Thomas Hardy wrote was never pub- lished. He was not much over twenty at the time, and the novel in question was called "The Poor Man and the Lady." It is not an ordinary story by any means, for it was packed with powerful writing embodying some strong revolutionary and enti-social views. In due time the novel was sent toa publisher, and by a strange chance the publisher's: reader who took it in hand was no other than Mr. Meredith. He sent for Hardy and told him that although he thought the book was publishable, he suggested that the voung author should assume a gentler guise for his first novel. Hardy there and then asked him to be allowed to withdraw the book, and going home he sat down and wrote another--his first novel published--* 'Desperate Rem- edies," In the old country town of Dorches- ter they tell a curious story of Har dy's early days, which, if it is true, suggested "Tess of the D'Urbervilles" to Hardy. As a youngster he used to go to school in Dorchester, and while there he and another boy became ac- quainted with a very beautiful woman who was the wife of a publican. The publican, however, was a scoundrel, and treated her so badly that at last, driven to desperation, she killed him with a knife. In due course she was tried and condemned to death. Then, impelled by the fascination for the gruesome, which is so strong in school boys, Hardy and his chum went: to the prison on the day of the execution and climbed. up a tree which overlooked the prison yard, and from this position they witnessed the exe- cution. If the inhabitants of Dorchester are to be believed, then there can be no doubt that it was this incident which gave Hardy the idea for "Tess." Nevertheless Thomas Hardy has con- fessed that he only saw the original of "Tess" on one occasion, and then she was riding in a cart in' Dorset. Yet the syift glimpse caught of her so impressed him that it started in his fruitful brain the wonderful story which takes a high place among the greatest novels of the last century. Hardy is not fond of dress. He dresses as simply as he lives, as, in- deed, all geniuses have done since the beginning of history. * If he has an aversion for one ticular item of dress it is for the great coat, and the coldest weather will not persuade him to wear one. When the weather begins to get cold he puts on a thick waistcoat made of sheepskin in the old-fashioned country stvle. Then as the weather becomes colder "he puts a woollen waistcoat above this and adds waistcoat after waistcoat according to the tempera- ture until he is wearing four or five in the depth of the winter. Hardv built his own house on ground he purchased from the Duchy of Corn. wall. It is now. of course, very un- usual for the Prince of Wales to sell any part of. the estate, but when Hardy's quest for a piece of ground was received the king, who was then Princd of Wales, asked if it was Hardy the novelist--of whose work, by the way, he has always been a great ad mirer. When he was informed that it was, he said, "We must do all we can to encourage these British authors." And so Hardy got the ground. The house itself is not very large, hut it is tastefully furnished and the auth- ors study overlooks one of the finest valleys in Dorset, and on the walls hong 1» Biber of clever drawings by Mrs.' Hardy, illustrating many of the scenes in her husband's novels.

Ho alwavs remembérs the remarks made by the great critic, Coventy Patmore, who assured him that "A Pair of Tolle Ever should have been Written se. In those days Hardy could not afford to write poetry, but now that he has won fame and fortune with his novels, he can afford to turn to that branch of literature which has always been to him first favorite. par- Compare The Relief. - If you have been accustomed to us- ing ordinary liniments, try Smith's White Liniment the 'mext time and see how much quicker it relieves and cures.
