a member of the international
jury of awards, reports one of
the pleasant incidents in con
nection with the jury work at
the fair, which took place in the
closing days of their work. Sen
ator David L. King of Arkansas,
who is chairman of “section A,”
department jury, presented the
entire jury, when in committee
of the whole, with a basket of
Arkansas apples, and in present
ing the apples Senator King
spoke to the department in felic
itous words laudatory of Arkan
nas. Alter a round of applause,
on motion, the department jury
conferred an honorary degree
upon Senator King, with the
title of “The Prince of Good Fel
lows.”
Senator King was unanimously
chosen as the speaker to give
the parting address to the de
partment jury as they met for
the last time around the festive
board at a banquet given to
them by the exhibitors in the
jury room on October 1. His
apt ways and dry humor brought
out so many thoughts of kind
ness and good will that his ad
dress was greeted with long ap
plause. At its conclusion all rose
and drank to the health of “just
plain Dave King of Arkansas.”
WRITES NOVEL
ON A WAGER.
McCutchen Wins Bet That Name
Alone Does Not Sell Books.
Lafayette, Ind., Oct. 6.—Geo.
Barr McCutchen, a writer, is the
author of “Brewster’s Millions. ”
The identity of the author of
this book was not known until
Mr. McCutcheon made this an
nouncement recently.
The book was written on a
$100 wager. Mr. McCutchuon
was sitting in the office of Chi
cago publishers a year ago, and
was talking to Edward Stone
relative to books.
‘ ‘The name of the author is
what sells the book,” remarked
Mr. Stone to the novelist. Mr.
McCutcheon disagreed with the
publisher, and said that he be
lieved a book sold on its merits.
“I will bet you $100 that it
don’t,” was the reply of Mr.
Stone.
“I will take that bet, ” replied
the author, “and I will write you
a story to show you that I am
right.”
In six weeks Mr. McCutcheon
had the novel, “Brewster’s Mil
lions,” on the market, and one
hundred thousand copies of it
were sold in three months.
The book was written in the
,-iomp rtf RirtVinrrl flrpnvps and
received the favorable comment
of many literary critics. The
book was such a hit that many
magazines wanted a pieture and
biography of the author. To sat
isfy these a pieture was obtained
of a Chicago clerk and sent all
over the country as Richard
Greaves.
Mr. McCutcheon received all
the mail addressed to Mr.
Greaves and answered the cor
respondence.

ARKANSAS LUMBER WON.
—
Gold Medal Awarded on Account.
of Exbibit at World’s Fair.
St. Louis, Oct. 8—The Arkan- i
sas commission received notice
• • * 1
today from the superior jury that
a gold medal has been awarded
to Arkansas on account of the
excellence of her lumber exhibit,
in the forestry building at the
world’s fair.
This award covers products of j
the cultivation of forests and of
forest industries, and is second
only to the grand prize.
THE NOVEMBER
“SMART SET.”
There are thirty-eight signed
contributions in the November
Smart Set, and no magazine can
offer a greater variety of stories
and poems; certainly no stand-1
ard is higher. The novelette
which opens the issue is called
“The Surrender,” and is written
by J. H. Twells, Jr. It is a pow
erful study of divoi’ce, presented
with great insight and feeling.
The scenes, many of which are
dramatic in the extreme, are laid
in Paris, and the author reveals
an intimate knowledge of the
; French capital.
A timely essay by the distin
guished dramatist, Clyde Fitch,
entitled ‘ ‘The Play and the Pub
lic,” will be widely read and dis
cussed, ivir. ritcn writes num
the inside, and everything he
says on a dramatic subject is
spoken almost ex cathedra.
In the long list of short stories
it is difficult to choose any par
ticular one which could be called
“the best,” for all are superla
tively good. Gouverneur Morris’
“The Honeymoon” will certainly
stick in the memory of numerous
readers. It is wonderfully pho
tographic and strikingly original.
! In a different vein is George Hor
i ton’s “The Office Hunters,” an
! amusing picture of political and
social life in Washington. “Har
mony Jack,” by Grace MacGow
an Cooke, is a breezy western
| tale with plenty of the whole
! some atmosphere of the plains.
'Viola Roseboro’s “The Actress
(that Remembered” is a story of
j play folk, artistic and with an
underlying note of pathos. ‘ ‘A
Rose in Ice” is the story of a
manly newspaper reporter and a
society girl, written in Herbert
D. Ward’s direct style. James
Huneker’s “The Eternal Duel”
occupies only a little space, but
it is as cameo-like as one of Mau
| passant’s masterpieces. In ad
| dition to these tales there are
! others by such writers as Edna
! Kenton, Charles Battell Loomis,
; Virginia Woodward Cloud, Rob
; ert E. MacAlarney, Channing
roiiocK, w. j. nenaerson ana
! Arthur Train, besides a story in
j French by Hugues Le Roux and
an essay by Kate Masterson.
The number is rich in exellent
verse. Among the contributors
are Edith M. Thomas, Joaquin
| Miller, Theodosia Garrison, Ed
ward W. Barnard, Madeline
Bridges, John Vance Cheney,
Richard Burton, P. McArthur
and Madison Cawein.
