The Author of Our “Famous People” Series We take pleasure in announcing to our readers that with this issue we begin a series of remarkable, illustrated, biographic sketches of famous peopleâ€"men and women who are making the history of the times._ This series is by Fannie M. Lothrop, the well-known author and the ablest writer in this line in America to-day. For several years she has been a writer and critic on the leading publications of New York and Philadelphia. For this work Mrs. Lothrop has a double fitness; from the literary side her knowledge of the great people of the day and her original way of putting things, and from the artistic side, her close acquaintance with the worfid’s famous people fits her preâ€"eminently to select the best possible views of her subjects. To her belongs the distinctive honor of possessing the largest col- lection of portraits in the world, now numbering over 400,000â€"a treasury of portraiture unapproached by that of any museum or library in existence. The time, patience, concentration of purpose, industry and systematic atten- tion to detail expended in arranging such a. collection is remarkable. “Mrs. Lothrop,” says a famous critic, “has unusual ability in presenting the vital elements of a man’s character so cleverly, so deftly, and subordinat- ing dates and details, that from her pen we get in a few lines living biog- raphies that show the real man, his qualities and his life, more effectively than in whole pages by other writers. Some artists can give more in a thumb- nail sketch than others can present in a panoramic painting. ’2 Mrs. Lothrop passed her girlhood years in Wisconsin, her native State. Her father. I. F. Mack, a New England gentleman of that class we fondly term "the old school,” was a lawyer, educator and thinker of rare power and singular clearness of mind. He founded the public schools of Rochester, N. Y., and was identified with all local movements during his residence there, removing thence to Wisconsin, where he became prominent and wealthy by reason of his legal talent. Mrs. Lothrop’s mother is a cousin of John Pier- pont, the American poet, who was the grandfather of J. Pierpont Morgan. For two years Mrs. Lothrop was a student of OberlinCollege. standing highest in her class, and a graduate of the Normal College of Chicago, where her musical genius early attracted attention. She is brilliant in conversaticn and well informed on all topics of the day, though not a “new woman” in any sense of the word. In the library of her home in New York, filled with the best works of the best thinkers, She does all her literary work. Entered according to Act of the Parliament of Canada. in the year 1904, by W. C. Mack, at the Department or Agrlcnztuxe. Social Hell. One day I visited the family of a man who had been prostrath by heat while working with a street paving gang. They. were a family of seven, living in a two room apartment of a rear tenement. The day was in August, and the sun beat down unintermittently and with- out mcrcy. The husband had been brought home a few hours before. The wife, in a distracted but skilful way, found pathways among the laboring childrem The air was steamy with a half-finished washing, and remnants of the last meal were still upon the table. A crying baby and a sick husband oc cupied the only bed. I had known be- fore of five people sleeping in One bed ; but I learned here that tho father and oldest child usually slept on the-floor. As I watched the woman on that day, I understood a little of what it meant to live in such cout'acted quarters. To cook and wash for seven, to nurse a crying baby broken out with heat and to care for a delirious husband, to or- range a possible sleeping place For seven â€"-to do all these things in two rooms which open upon an alley tremulous with heated odors and swarming with flies from the garbage and manure box- es, was something to tax the patience and strength of' 0. Titan. In this instance the man had broken down, and sickness is most serious when it attacks the bread-winner of' a working class family. The sickness of wife or child is far less terrifying. However painful the disease or distressing the consequences, the family’s peace of mind is not shattered by the dread of want. The man is not kept from his work, and his earnings, made more necessary by the sickness, may still supply the family needs. The diseases which kill or un- dermine the health of the adults, espe- cially the man, are the ones which strike terror in the hearts of'working-class fam- ilies. IThose which almost invariably m cause deathâ€"such as cancer, pl‘thisis, Bright’s disease, diabetesâ€"as well as those which personally incapacitate a workmanâ€"such as apoplexy, paralysis, ctc.~â€"tbc many accidents in industries which cripple the body, and the diseases arising from certain dangerous trad-es, which permanently undermine health, are the forms of sickness which general- ly mean for wage earning families pov- crty and often paupcrism. Such disâ€" eases affect the woll'are ot' the whole Family. They stop all earnings unluss the wife is able, or one of the children old enough, to become a wage-earner. Sickness assumes a new and more torri» blc meaning when one realizes that the mass of wage-earning families are p.1- tbctically dependent upon some one per- son's health. Anyone familiar with the poor knows with what' grim dctermiuzv tion half-sick workmen labor unxlcr this heavy responsibility.

Thus docs John D. keep up the “ relig- ious ” act and piously hold the Almighty responsible for his “ability.” This may be “sweetly comforting,” after the rca.«l< ing of McClure’s magazine; but he can- not bef'uddle the ordinary sinner's mind with such a contemptiblc idea of divine “requirements” as Standard Oil repac- ity representsâ€"The Vanguard. ‘y Socialists allirm, as a fundamental principle, that labor, the sole creator of wealth, is entitled to all it creates. a. .’ s . a x v '.. w .. - 9V,“ ‘ -.f:3§'a_r_v,.y .f, . {it
