THE PROFITS OF AUTHORS
Almost a Disgrace Not to Have Writ
ten One Successful Story.

Almost a Disgrace Not to Have Writ
ten One Successful Story.
Correspondence of the Philadelphia Press.
A last thing may be mentioned when
reference is made to authorship. So
many successful novels have lately been
issued in Boston that the day seems to
be at hand when it will be a sort of dis
grace not to have produced at least one
successful book. The business is to
striking degree, falling into the hands
of the ladies. There lives no woman
who can write at all but who can write at
leas. charming letter. The moment
one of these discovers that to write sue
cessfully is to write precisely rs she
would do in letter to a friend, and
that it is not "a composition" that is re-
quired, that moment she may SO write
so as to make success. What is sue
cess? The Boston novel. "Mr. Isaacs"
has reached a sale of $4,000 copies,
which is about 81 200 or 81 200 in the
pocket of its author.
A safe of 20, 900 may be arriveda at. But

charming of books as does the most yer.

publishes his second no, ell it is ge eneral-
ly found that all the cream in the milk
has gone into the first book. very,.very
rarely is it that there is any more cream
in that vessel Of milk! One baysmal
mystery lies in The question, "Wko pays
the publisher for such books as do not
succeed?"
A large proportion of books Of all
kinds, drop stone-dead from the press;
who has to suffer it? There is among
successful authors a gloomy suspicion
that in some occult fashion tllev have to
pay the publisher for. the. unsuccessful
books. Does q commission house OF
any kind put everything into its account?
would be 9 boon unspeakable If some
publisher, standing up for his brethren
everywhere, would say, eve have no

Heroes and Eeroines Of the Border.

In American history there are no more in.
teresting figures than the Heroes and Hero
ines of the Border. Bold. dashing. adventu-
rous and patriotic; loyal to friends. to country
and to the interests of society, their work was
sngularly effective in the advancement o.
American civilization. With seeming reck-
lessness, their efforts were in the interest of
law and order, and the people owe them
debt of gratitude they do not forget. Their
page in history is as fascinating as it is hon
orable, and there is a peculiar pleasure in
reading the narrative of their wonderful ex-
PLOTS.
The times which produced those heroes and
herones mark period in American history of
absorbing interest alike 10 old and young. 1t
is proper that it should be so. These hardy
pioneers coupled virtue with courage. human
ity and love Of country with the stern duties
OF frontier life and battle. and the example Of
their lives not only interests hut strengthens
our faith and admiration in human courage
and unselfsh purpose.
In American pioneer history there are three
distinct eras marked as distinctly by three
geographical dlvisons;' from the ALLEGHENY
Mountains TO the Mississippi, marking the
first; from the Mississippi to the Rocky Noun
tains the second; California aud the Pacific
Slope the third. The settlement of these
vast regions developed great leaders. whose
achievements have made them justly and
widely famous. They have warm place in
the hearts Of the people, and a prominent one
in their admiration. 1t is appropriate that
their achievements should be recorded, and
we note with pleasure the forthcoming of a
new book, now ready. from the press of N. D..
Thompson & Co., Publishers, New York and
St. Louis, Mo-. called: Conquering the WH-
derness, or New Pictorial History Of the
