Literary Chances in New York.

The actual chances for literary success
in New York are in no respect different
from those which any greater city pre-
sents over those of smaller community.
II a literary man or woman can go to
New York with a certainty offered in the
way Of fairly paying position, then I
say, by all means go, and if he has any
talent in him it will come out and win
quick success. But if he has only ordi-
nary gifts then let him stay where he is,
even with certainty offered him. New
York holds out nothing to such man
except poor livelihood. Or, if a writer
has established fair reputation, is
known by editors and publishers through
letters, and he feels that there is some
thing in him which only the activity Of
great city will bring out, then let him
go to busy Gotham.
But let him be careful that he does not
confuse ambition with talent. New
York is full Of ambitious writers, and
they will always remain ambitious, al
ways reaching out to eat the literary oats
which hang suspended just little out
of their reach. Ambition is a splendid
quality, but the talent must be there to
back it up. And the latter is what is
lacking in SO many of the ambitious lit
erary spirits in New York today. It il
all ambition.-E. W. Box in Ladies'
Home Journal.

The Vice Presidency,

Every well informed American can re-
peat the list of the presidents at cal, but
who can do the same with that OF the
vice presidents? Yet that has several
times proved a most important office.
Four have Unexpectedly succeeded to the
presidency while George Clinton, in 1911.
by his casting vote, defeated the rechar-
ter of the United States bank, and by
the same power George M. Dallas, in 1916,
made the Polk Walker tariff law
The first three-Adams, Jefferson and
Burr-were men of note, for under the
first system the man receiving the Sec
pnd highest vote for the presidency be-
game vice president. It is an odd fact
That, if presidents Of the senate who sue
ceeded to the functions be counted, there
have been thirty-six vice presidents to
twenty three presidents, though George
Clinton, Daniel D. Tompkins, John G.
Calhoun and William r. King each
served in two administrations, but the
last named died April IS, 1858, soon after
beginning his regular term. Even now
It may surprise many readers to learn
that David R. Atchison, Jesse D. Bright,
Lafayette S. Foster, Benjamin +. Wade,
Thomas W. Ferry, Thomas F. Bayard,
David Davis, George F. Edmunds, John
Sherman and John J. ingalls, have served
n the place.
It is noteworthy fact that there is no
living ex-vice president today.

He'll VIII BE on a Comet,

What do you think of the idea of he'll,
the future abode Of the wicked, being
situated in the nucleus of some gigantic
comet? This opinion, odd as it may seem
to those who have given comets and the
future state of the dead but little atten-
ton, has been entertained by many really
eminent scientists and philosophers,
among them the learned DR.. Winston,
the friend and sometime adviser of the
great Sir Isaac Newton.
In answer to the inquiries Of friend,
who wrote to ask the doctor for some
tangible proof ON the subject, the follow
ing unique theories were advanced: Gao
cording to my calculations and deduc-
tions, this theory which you rightly say
must belong to me and me alone does
locate hell, the awful prison house of the
damned, in the fiery nucleus OF some
perhaps yet undiscovere0 comet of I'M
thinkable size.
.sIn this wide circ1ing chariot of fire
they will be whirled in the twinkling OF
an eve from the intolerable heat of the
surface of the sun back into space hun
ilreds and hundreds of millions Of miles
from the great torch bearer Of our sys-
tenn. Thus instantly the wretched ten
ants will be given two unbearable ex-
tremes-one of cold and the other Of
heat-this to continue through the end
less ages of eternity, while the Almighty
Is dispensing the seventies of justice"

horrible idea than this?-St. Louis Re-

A FIGHT with a Panther.

In the early part Of this century Jairus
Rich was famous hunter Of Alexandria,
N. Y. Once when his traps were set for
wolves, he went out on a tour Of inspec-
ton, and was surprised to see a panther
spring up and bound away with one OF
the traps hitched to its hind leg. He
fred, but missed. and the creature made
off into the thicket Jairus went to a
neighbours, borrowed dog and returned
to the woods.
As he neared the place where the en-
trapped brute had disappeared, his quick
eye detected panther's head protruding
from some bushes a few rods ahead. He
took hasty aim, fired, and the creature
fell dead.
Examination revealed the fact that this
was not the panther in the trap, and the
exciting barking Of the dog few rods
in advance showed that other game was
near. Leaving the dead panther he
hurried ON and soon came in sight Of the
entrapped beast, which stood at bay
snarling fiercely at the dog, which kept
at safe distance.
Mr.. Rich fred at the panther, but only
wounded it slightly. In the excitement
of the moment he threw down his gun,
seized his Ratchet and ran forward,
thinking tomake short work Of his game,
but m that he was mistaken. The pam
Their made sudden spring, knocked the
Ratchet from the hunters hand, and,
furious with rage and pain, began tear
ing and biting him.
Rich defended himself to the best Of
his ability, but there was no getting
away from the fierce animal A fearful
struggle ensued, and finally the panther
got one of the hunters hands in his
mouth.
With his free hand Rich succeeded in
getting his jackknife from his pocket.
He opened it with his teeth, and with it
put an end to the life of the ugly brute.
Then he crawled to the nearest house,
where his wounds were cared for. It
was several weeks before he was able to
leave his bed, and the scars of the con-
fict he bore to the grave.-Yo uth's
Companion.

son. Madison county, when he received
a telegram asking his immediate pres
enoe at Lincoln, where the three parties
had been in deadlock for two weeks.
He went and was astonished by being
told that the Populists had chosen him
to break the deadlock. He consented,
and four days later was elected to the
United States senate by the combined
vote of Democrats and Populists, receiv-
ing 70 votes to 80 for Senator A. S. Pad
dock, the Republican. Judge Allen, as
he is best known, is 46 years old, native
of Madison county, O, but reared chiefly
in Iowa, a'veteran of the Union army, in
which he enlisted at 10, and a gentle
man of magnificent proportions, 6 feet
8 inches high and weighing 1926 pounds.
He became Populist at the time of
the ssgreat slump" two years ago, hay
ing previously been q Republican, and
was by the Populists elected judge of
the Ninth judicial district. The novelty
of his position is further enhanced by the
fact that he lis the first senator from Ne
brasks not Republican, though the
state was admitted as such on March 1,
1867. The people Of Madison, where
Judge Allen has lived since 1884. with
out distinction of party, at once organ
ICED a grand demonstration, for it is one
of the new senator's best points that he
is most popular at home.
His Oldest daughter is great fayorlte
in Madison society. His other three chill
dren are too young to attract much at.
tention as yet, and his wife is spoken Of
as desirable addition to the senatorial
circle at Washington. The family has
done much to make the social life OF
Madison pleasant, and many amusing
stories are told about the senator elect.
On one occasion, in 1889, 1t was thought
good joke to elect him manager OF
baseball club, and in the same spirit
leading banker named Stuart was asked
to be treasurer. They took hold with a
vim. contributed literally and organized
one of the best clubs in the west, and
when they took the field in their first
game it was day of unbounded hilar-
ity in Madison.
