Rewards OF Authors.

Some recent items in the newspapers
suggest a comparison of prices paid
for various sorts of literary work a
decade back and at the present time.
Ii the Photographers arc to be trusted
and IN this instance we think they are
Mrs. Frances Hodgson Burnett sold
the right of serial publication of her
new novel to The Ledger story paper
OF New York for the enormous sum of
$15, 900, with the privilege of selling
it in book form in any fashion she
chooses. Certainly this passion for
fiction by the most successful writer's,
which the publishers are showing Just
now, is a glorious thing for those who
have been fortunate enough to secure
this desirable reputation; and the bid
ding for these books among enterpris-
ing proprietors of periodicals has made
the market value absurdly high; it
takes long purse to compete for these
stories in these days. But this active
rivalry has been a great gain to lesser
lights as well, we fancy0at all events
among magazine writer's

OF 1000 words was considered high

whose MSS. are accepted, receive sell
dom less than SIS, and frequently $50,
per 600 words from any Of the great
magazines. Some of the best short
stories evep~printed were bought for
$50 less than ten years back. Now it
IS safe to say 5000 is the average
among those whose names are known
to magazine readers, while $50 is a
low estimate for the average story of
even an unknown author, and still the
supply is scant.

writers, whose names help sell, $500

not many years ago, were paid for by
IS and $40 checks, where now the
writers expect $50 and $50, and get
them, too. The reason is not far to
seeE-tho demand is greater, and the
magazines, because of their enormous
sale, arc able to pay literally. But
has the pay increased for other kinds
Of literary worlzs Ten per cent. on
the retail price of books has been the
average copyright for many years, and
it Is scarcely, if at all, higher than
that today the rate of compensation
for newspaper work and for the
weekly press Except whom a great
name is paid for has certainly not in
creased; in many Of the Offices we
know OF it has been diminished. and
surely the literary hack is now no bet
ter oil than no ever was. To be sue

worldly point Of view, an author must

a Sleep walkers Adventure.

The other night young man living
near hero got up in his sleep. par
TALLY dressed himself, descendedto the
yard and jumped into the well. The
plunge bath, of course, woke him up.
He struggled to the top, being q good
swimmer, and while c1utching about
in the dark on the surface of the water
he got hold of the chain which worked
over O pulley and which had buckle
81 both ends Flo threw his weight
on the chain but the pulley worked
easily, and the bucket on the other
end shot up and the young man shot
down toward the bottom Of the we'll.
Sundry well directed but spaslnodic
kicks brought him to tho top again;
but just at that moment the recently
assembled bucket, which had turned
down again when he turned tho chain
loose, met tho top Of his head with
severe blow, which ducked him under
again.
Reaching the surface again, and
with a GOODNESS and presence of mind
which was remarkable under the cir
cumstances, he gathered the chain,
and while ''treading water Us the
boys call it, he gently pulled the
chain, causing the bucket to ascend
until it hit the pulley at the top Of the
well frame. Now he had solid hold,
and, finding the step holes on the side
of the well, he soon mounted to the
ourbing and sprang out upon terra
tirma. He said that he thought in his
dreams that he was at the ''fordn and
was jumping in for o pleasant bath.

deep, but the surface was not far be-
