FOLDING AND. TRIMMING. A MAGAZINE.

TO have broken tEo record in this re-
spect. At any rate, as he could not use
''But Yet Woman" in his magazine,
on account of matter already accepted
far in advance of the time, he sent ii
TO the publishers of the Atlantic,
strongly urging its publication by
them in book form. His advice was
taken, and But Yet Woman" be-
came the book of the season. Prof.
Hardy was recognized by the critics as
q master of fiction, a reputa ton which
his THE Wind of Destiny" and
-'Passe Rose" have only enhanced.
Now, in turn, he finds himself associate
editor of the Cosmopolitan, and with
out question he is industriously en-
gagged in trying to discover new and
promising literary lights himself, de-
spite the wall of the rejected.
1t is well known that Mr.. John Bris-
ben Walker and Mr.. Hardy were class
mates at West Point. Their subse-
ouent and very diverse careers are also
familiar Mr. Walker had no sooner
established the Cosmopolitan on firm
basis than he wrote to his former
classmate and requested his assistance
with the magazine. AT first Mr..
Hardy only felt able to contribute a
few articles and poems but this con-
nection has, of course, developed into
an editorship. He is very much inter-
ested in the effort now being made to
furnish good magazine literature at a
low price.
He considers the latter the distinctive
step of the year in the magazine world
to give really good literature at the
lowest possible figure. You know"
he said. 1.-The reading public is very
much like pyramid. from the point Of
view of price. To drop ten cents in
the price OF a magazine is to take in an
enormous slice of the pyramid, and it
puts the former within the reach of
vastly greater number of people A
difference to you of ten cents even is
appreciated and to many it is para
mount"
The discussion turned TO possible
competition between the Sunday issue
of the newspaper and the monthly
magazines, and on this point Mr..
Walker was able to give some interest
ing infovraation. Ee seemed to think
that the condition of printing, and the
expectation of the public for artistic
work in the make up and manufacture
Of magazines would prevent any such
competition. He was also of the opin-
Ion that the attitude of daily papers as
news gatherers would keep them dis
tinct from magazines. In regard to
the former consideration Mr. Walker
said that in magazine printing not
more than eight hundred impressions
in an hour could be made and insure
good press ,-A-lr whereas great news

hour at present. This ratio he looked
| to see maintained.
In regard to criticisms of the maga-
zines for using .'half-tone" processes
| instead Of engraving in reproducing
illustrations, Mr.. Walker. said that the
current opinion that the half-tone
| work is cheaper for large editions Of
the great magazines is untrue. Half
tone work must be printed on paper
which costs about four cents pound
more than that on which wood engrav-
irgs are prin ted, and the difference in
the cost of paper in an edition of three
or four hundred thousand sinks the
saving in process work many times
over. The paper for recent numbers
of the 'Cos,nopolitan" has cost about
ten times rs much as engravings and
articles put together. In fact it is no
longer q'aestion of cheap process
The great magazines use process work
or wood engraving according as the
best results can be obtained. To this
Mr.. Hardy added that there is no ques-
tion about the fact that certain kind
of artistic beauty is lost in photog-
raphy, just. as it is in every kind of

a field in which photography is the
t, Ge medium Of expression.

tul dty to ask Mr.. Hardy what he had
obs erved in his first year of residence
in 1ew York. In reply to a prelimi-
nary question as to whether he had not

EDITOR NATIONAL Tribune: I see that
Comrade Post, 4th Ohio Cav, in your issue
of Dee. 7, charges me with having done in
justice TO the Second Tor Ohio Brigade, of
the Second Division of Cavalry, Army of
the Cum berland. l asked him to specify,

In the issue of Oct appeared my arti-
Gle which has led TO all this controversy. In
it all that ] said concerning Pennington
was: / overlook the division at Farming

gallant fight with Wheeler, defeating him
with heavy loss"
Have done any injustice to the Second
Brigade in this statement?
William L. Doyle undertook TO criticize
me, claiming that Twas unjust to the Mount
ed Infantry Brigade. He also took excep-
tions TO my estimate Of Gen. Crook as a
cavalry commander.
In replying to him / said: "The descrip-
ton of the Pennington fight, as given by
William E. Doyle, very nicely illustrates
the manner in which The Mounted Infantry
and Saber Brigade usually went into fight.
"Col. Wilder or Col. Miller would have

too irregular TO suit him; it was too pre-
cipitate, and not sufficiently in accordance

hurt some of them. One of the engineers
caught man spying about. The men
search him, and discovered that he was a
Confederate Major. They put him at shovel

chain on his leg. He was much afraid OF
his friends shells, but did not get hurt.
