RUSSIANS BURN EIGHTY GIRLS

(National News Association) ST. PETERSBURG, June 19. Enraged at the importation of girl laborers to work cheap in the sugar fields of the province of Poltava in southern Russia, villagers burned eighty girls to death.

Three Men Who Won Literary Laurel Under Feminine Name. One of the most famous cases of 8 man writer winning fame under a woman's name was that of the late William Sharp, who kept his identity with "Fiona Macleod" a close secret during his life, and it was only after his death that the public was made aware that "her" remarkable novels were the work of the well known critic and essayist. Their style seemed so characteristically feminine that even the most astute critics believed that they were written by a woman's band. Another famous writer, Laurence Housman, known already as a poet and artist, made a third and most successful appearance before the public as a "veiled lady." A remarkable book appeared entitled "An Englishwoman's Love Letters," which all the critics praised and all the clubs and literary circles talked about. Who was this woman who had laid her heart bare? The critics agreed that, whoever she was, she understood her sex to perfection. The secret was kept very close for a time, and then, to everybody's immense amazement, the real author was revealed as a man after all. Very few people probably will recall the undoubted fact that one of the greatest of Victorian poets, Algernon Charles Swinburne, hid his identity occasionally under the very matter of fact feminine nom de plume of "Mrs. Horace Manners," while another and much beloved singer on the other side of the Atlantic, the charming Quaker poet. John Greenleaf Whittier. used frequently as a pen name the unromantie one of "Margaret Smith." London Answers.
