the curtain on the
last act of the outing sea-
son, the beginning of the
end of vacations.
A few days more and
you who have been spend
ing the summer at the
beach, the mountain, or the
country will be coming
back to town to reopen
the house, get things in
shape for the Autumn and
the children ready for
school again.
This will, of course,
mean a general overhaul
ing of wardrobes, a thor
ough inventory of the
stock of underclothing,
stockings, gloves, handker-
chiefs, etc., and tits more
than likely that it will re-
suit in the making up of a
long list of necessities, a
numerous memoranda of
the things that you and
the others of the family
"have got to have immedi-
ately."
Well!
Is there a better place
to take your wants than to
this store? Is there an
other such collection of
the very articles you re-
quire? Is it probable that
you will find exactly what
you want at so small a
money outlay anywhere
else in town?
If you think not, then
you are the one who will
be interested in the fact
that the store is all ready
for you, all ready for a
draught on its resources
of any magnitude, all
ready to supply about
everything you can ask for,
and in any quality.
The Foreign Hosiery is
all in and on the counters.
The imported and home
made underwear is here in
larger variety than ever be-
fore, and better. The
gloves for fall wearing are
ready. There's the most
bewildering array of beauti-
full handkerchiefs you ever
saw, and all the other de-
partments are in trim for
receiving the crowd of
home-comers and the visi-
tors who are going.
This is also our time
for marking down summer
things, the time for halving
prices in all that's left from
the midsummer selling.
It's your opportunity for
picking up bargains, your
chance to make fifty cents .

shrewd ones know this;
the knowing ones are al

EXCHANGING SALUTES.
How the Thing Is Done Among the Ma
tives of South Carolina.

~
There were eight of us sitting on some
cotton bales at a little railroad station
in South Carolina waiting for train
which wasn't expected for nearly an
hour. Right opposite us was strip OF
forest, and presently we saw man bend
aside bush and survey us in cautious
manner. Every one saw him, and yet
no one offered any explanation Of his
presence until he had stood for there
three or four minutes. Then a woman
from Arkansas laid aside her snuff stick
and observed: IA
Really now, If l washome 1 should
reckon that Teller meant shute, and l
should hurry - make myself skass.".
HE can't want to shoot none of u.s."
replied one of the men.
Guess I'll make shore of that by
wakin' him up" said Georgian, as he
got out his revolver. Before he could
fire there was the report of gun behind
us, followed by yell, and native
climbed over the bales, gun in hand,
and started to cross the double tracks.
He was not yet over the first when there
was a shot from the bushes, and the man
in front Of us spun around like top,
dropped his gun, and fell upon the rails.
Then, before any of us had moved, a
second native came out of the bushes
with smoking gun in his hand, and as
he bent over the figure on the ground he
laughed:
'Ha! ha! ha! / jist dropped at yer fire
so as to git the drop on you! guess you
won't bother me no mo-"
When he had gone we went to the aid
of the other. AS we pulled him off the
track he struggled up, reached for his
gun and looked around and said:
much obleeged, but faint nuthin'.

Facts for Persons Who Think That Liter
ature Is Bed of Roses.


Icaught one of our best known au,
thors in confidential mood recently,
and his comments on the revenue of au-
thorship, which he gave NE permission
afterwards to print, carry interest with
them. may add that the name of this
author is one of the most widely known
in American literature to-day. "Seven
years ago | chose between law and lit
erature. / had every opportunity to
succeed at the bar, for, through hard
Study and my connections, a lucrative
practice seemed opened to me. But

what the world calls successful au-
thor. My last novel was bid for by
three publishers, and my royalties, ! am
told by my publishers, are higher than
those of the majority of their writer's I

my novels, magazine articles, ETC., and
every thing is collected. Here is the
total 50, 17O.4O Compare these actual
figures to the paragraph recently

ain constantly asked by literary be-
ginners as to the prices generally paid
by magazines for literary work. OF
course, in my answer, must be under
stood as only referring to beginners, not
those who have, by constant practice,
become experienced with the pen and
know what is most desired by editors.
1t is safe, I think, for beginners to de-
pend upon the following prices: Poems
are the Toast marketable, but where a
poem of average length is accepted
say four verses of eight lines each-the
price is from S. to S15 each. A short
story of 5000 words commands $25 to $35
at the lowest, $50 to 500 at the highest,
every thing depending on the strength
of the story and the magazine to which
it is sold, Prose articles of any merit
whatever range from 81 to $40 per thou
sands words, the average being about 49,.
OF course, prices for literary work, as
prices for dry goods or any thing else,
vary according to the quality of the
goods, but those | have quoted are, |
think, safe for beginners to depend upon,
provided, of course, that they fall into
the hands of reputable magazines AS a
