Writing Done by Proxy.

IAN important branch of literary
business nowadays is writing by
proxy" said a publisher.
This is a very busy world, and
there are a good many people in it
who, having no time to produce
matter for publication themselves,
employ others to do it for them.
For example, one of the best-known
physicians in this country has also
considerable reputation as lit
erateur. He has published a num-
Der OF learned medical works, be-
sides several volumes of fiction.
No one of them has been written
by himself.
"He has hired other men to pro-
duce them, paying so much a page.
| know all about it, because the
volumes | speak of have been issued
from my own presses. That sort
OF thing is very common. | also
am acquainted with distinguished
lawyer who chooses to have liter
airy reputation. He thinks it helps
him in his profession and presuma-
bly, his vanity is gratified by it. At
all events he employs a newspaper
man of ability, with whom he is
on confidential terms, to write ar
ticles regularly for him. They are
mostly on topics which have some
reference to law.
'The lawyer signs his name to
them and the journalist receives
his pay. This is advantageous to
both, because the lawyers reputa-
ton makes the article fetch double
or even treble what the newspaper
man could sell them for as his own.
The lawyer also produces about
four short stories for magazines
each. year. These also are written
in typescript by the journalist, who
gets one hundred dollars apiece
for them, while the lawyer signs
his name and is content with the
glory.
"You must be we'll aware that
this sort of thing is very extensive
ly practiced. 1t has various forms.
Even the pugilists, such as Sulli-
van and Corbett, appear as literary
men nowadays. The polish and
elegance of the diction they employ
would really astonish anybody who
did not know that the articles sign
ed with their names were in reali-
ty written by clever newspaper
men. Professional men far out
side the pale of the prize ring do
not hesitate to resort to the same
expedient. In many instances they
have not the leisure necessary for
writing.
They permit themselves to be
interviewed, and the ideas they ex-
press are neatly put together by
the reporter in the shape Of an es-
say. They read over what has
been written and correct it, signing
their names at the end. Clergy
men are no longer obliged to write
their own sermons. They can buy
them at an extremely low rate, and
good ones, too. One frequently
sees advertisements in the news
papers offering homiletic discourses
at prices to suit the most impover-
ished parson. 1t is only one de-
velopment of what is going to be
an important industry-the busi-
ness of writing by proxy."-Wash-
ington Star.

that they approached close to him
with the flaming firebrands before
they could drive him away. Then
it was easily seen what had occur
ed. The bear had set "A trap for
the COW, showing little less than
human intelligence. He had
climbed nearly to the top of the
stub, and when the COW reached
the right point he threw his great
weight upon her, breaking her
back, and completely crushing her
to the ground.
Old Brindle was dead. There
were sorrowful faces in the family
for weeks after that. 1t was a
great calamity to them, and many
months elapsed before they were
able to buy another COW to supply
the place of Old Brindle.

A Busy Doctor.

DR.. Liddell's morning levees were
crowded beyond description. Itwas
his pride and boast that he could
feel his patients pulse, look at his
tongue, sound him with stethoscope,
write his prescription, and pocket
his fee in space of time varying
from two to five minutes.
One day an army man was shown
into the consulting room, and
underwent what might be called
the instantaneous process. When
it was completed the patient shook
hands with the doctor, and said:
II am especially glad to meet you,
as I have often heard my father,
Colonel Forester, speak of his old
friend, DR.. Liddell."
"What!" exclaimed the doctor,
"are you Dick Forester's son?"
Most certainly | am"
my dear fellow" exclaimed the
doctor, fling that prescription in
to the fire, and sit down and tell
me what's the matter with you."
