he is going to have a pony. He has set
his heart on a pony, but he'll have to
work pretty hard for it. Some of the

LITERARY FREAKS.
Tho Modest Requests Received and
Answered by iIr. Nye.

Answered by nr. Nye.
People who write for livelihood get
some queer propositions from those who
have crude ideas about the operation of
the literary machine. There is prevailing
idea among those who have never dabbled
in literature very much, that the divine
affiatus works a good deal like corn
shelter. This is erroneous.
To put bushel OF words into the hopper
and have them come out poem or a ser
mon is a more complicated process than it
would seem to the casual observer.
l can hardly be called literary, though
admit that my tastes lie in that direction,
and yet 1 have had some singular ex-
periences in that line. For instance, last
year l received fattering overtures from
