"The Governor wrote the Solicitor a most flattering letter and thanked Ijlm, but here it ended. The Governor said it was not hla business to pass the lawa; he eould only recommend. But if ho promised to have these lawa i passed and failed, he haa not done his duty.

His charming personality, hlS ivarying kindness and gentleness >d his almost excessive modesty ve won for him the love and addition of everyone who ever came in raonal contact with h!m. Amid all e jealousies, the backbitings, the tleness which pervade the literary akB, one never hears an unkind ?rd attached to the name of Wilm Dean Howells. Nor has anye ever heard Mr. Howells speak unkind word of any fellow-author. 1 the other hand bis encouraging ldness has been a help to many nng writers who have since then n their place in literature. William Dean Howells was born in irtins Ferry, 0., March 1, 1837. s father,'who was a printer and newspaper proprietor and editor, a a man of taste and refinement, icholar In his way and an original a independent thinker. He beved in the educative value of usework and brought up his family be industrious and frugal of both le and money. The mother was a man of refined tastes and gentle hners. Yonng Howells learned to stft type pq* A?aopW>e learned to read. aTUmearoe* the isaportattc* I truth and honesty and of courage i d gentle behavlous. His literary ites found ample encouragement In < f? kindred tastes of his parents. When still a lad, Howells went to >rk in his father's printing office 1 a regular employe. For two years, < mi 1849 to 1851, his father pub- ? hod a dally paper in Dayton, O.. d the clever son soon became an i around assistant in the work. The paper failed and young Hows was compelled to seek other em>yment. He became a printer at a week, but after Lis father had tovered his losses and started in e printing business again, young >wells gave up his position and RESOLUTION OF RESPECT. Wheeas, in the wisdom of God, the eater of all things, whose divine ans are past findlug out and who ioth all things well, and for His vn good pleasure, and Whereas, He has seen fit to take om our midst, our companion and -worker, George W.

He wrote tqjpy poems, but most of them were rejected. After a few years of tentative efforts to a rite poetry, young llowells became con- . ^*EH vinced that he did not possess the true poet's gift and promptly abandoned all efforts in that direction, devoting himself entirely to prose ' writing. Vor two winters, from 1858 t%^ 1860, he reside'' Columbus and acted 'lent for several lepers. Ke w as then of. a position as city editor of a Cincinnati paper, but the position proved uncongenial and he returned > to Columbus, where he accepted the position of news editor on the State Journal. It was while he was connected with that paper that Howelis wrote his "Life of Lincoln." This book was the young writer's first success. In the first place It brought him aioney enough to make a trip to Boston, where he made the persona! acquaintance of Lowell. Holmes and , * other eminent literary people and came in touch with the best literary Ideals of tho time. In the next place . it won for him the position of American counsel at Venice. His four years' residence at Venice was his real education. The knowledge of the world, the experience of men and manners he gained there, formed the main foundation upon which all his subsequent literary work was built. After his return to the United itates, Mr. Howells lived for some ime in New York, engaged upon the rribune and the Nation. In 1886 he went to Boston to be assitant editor >f the Atlantic, in 1872 he became Its sole editor, and this nositlon he held until 1841.
