A spnce Writer'S scheme.

The trade for writing for the press ION
space that is, by the page, column or
line, has given rise to many expedients to
fill space with as little effort as possible,
says the Washington Post. Many follow
ers of this occupation have shown great
ingenuity in getting as large an account
of white paper as possible to their credit
by making frequent paragraphs in their
copy" A French author, who was once
employed to contribute a continued story
to a newspaper, and who was paid for his
work by the line, was In the habit of in
Producing very frequently such passages
as this into his story:

The publisher of the newspaper at length
rebelled at what he regarded as an at
tempt to make money out of him by sharp
practice. He sent for the writer and said:

But my contract says that I'm to be
paid by the line
Yes, but your contract does not say that

The author pondered a minute.

pay hereafter by the letter, providing you
let the story run on until 1 have quite
finished it," ~
1T is agreed" said the publisher.
When the publisher came to read the
next installment of the story he found that
the author had introduced two new char
acters who stammered dreadfuly, and
whose talk ran after this manner
'C-c-c-c-c--c-c-can you not b-b-b- BIB

in this sort of dialogue, the possibility of
the indefinite continuance of a story paid
for by the letter, which was little less
than a dreadful and terribly costly alpha
betical procession. He sent for the author
and restored the old arrangement.
AS soon as the author began to collect
his pay by the line, poor suffering CASTOR
and Valentine were overtaken by an I'M
timely fate, and the short paragraphs were
resumed.

The Americas Cup Racers.

The race for the Americas cup will be
between the Defender and the Valkyrie
III. There has been some talk. following
the Nalkyre's rather poor showing in her
trial races. TO the effect that the Prince OF
Wales yacht. Britannia. might. after all,
be the British representative in the race.
Such talk, however. Is merely the specu-
lation OF the correspondents. the proba-
biiity OF substituting another craft for the
Nalkyrie has not been seriously consid-
cred by those IN charge of the British
end OF the race. The Valkyrie Is at pres
ent being prepared for the trip across 10
New York and will probably sail during
the early part Of next month. Her poor
showing in the trial races is strongly sus-
pected TO have been caused by clever
"jocleying." for the purpose OF keeping
concealed her actual powers and speed.
Aside from the patriotic interest in the
race and all preparation for 1t that is felt
on both sides Of the water. those persons
who take an interest in the building and
sailing Of fast yachts will watch with
concern the work Of the two boats. for
they mark a departure in yacht
building, and approach nearer to common
lines than any boats that have yet raced
for the Americas cup. The British have
made concessions to the American idea
in the Valkyric, and the Americans have
made concessions to the British cutter
type in the Defender. For the nrst time.
the British competitor will have greater
beam than the American, and for the first
time the American will discard the center
board Tor the deep fin keel carrying a
counterpoise Of lead. Heretofore the
yankee yachts have depended upon
breadth of beam for stability, and have
built their boats TO sit lightly upon the
water. In the Defender, the narrow hull
has been sunk deep. and stability secured
with tons of lead in the keel. This de-
parture has met with severe criticisms
from competent judges; still. since the
owners of the craft have seen ut to adopt
the semi-cutter type, and are willing and
able to pay for the experiment, there is no
room for a successful kick
The changes in the types Of the yachts
will. it is thought. have the result of
citing. The craft. judging from
the details that have been
published. are about as evenly matched
as could be wished. The Valkyries sail
area and spars, as at first planned, were
considerably greater than those of the
American boat, but the opinion Of ex-
perts IS that she has been overloaded
with both sails and spars, and that they
will have to be reduced. When these
changes have been made, the boats will
be still nearer upon common basis of
measurements.
A good deal Of the new metal, alumni
mum. has been used in the construction of
the Defender. to the saving. it is said of
many tons OF weight The American boat

much lighter than her competitor.
Whether the use of aluminium in boat
construction can be advantageously used
will be shown. in great measure, IN the
work of the Defender.

The. representative character of the
Forthcoming silverite convention at Grif-
fin is pretty well illustrated in the re-
ports of the meetings for the selection of
delegates. According to reliable advices.
the Fulton county meeting was attended
by forty-seven persons. 1t is claimed.
and with reason, that Fulton county has
over 10000 population. The Clarke coun-
ty meeting was attended by thirty-.wo
persons. Clarke county has a population
of some 10000. The Floyd county meek-
ing was attended by forty persons. Floyd
county has a population Of more than
$1,000. The Morgan county meeting was
attended by three men (two in favor of
sound money and one free silverite). Nor
gan county has population of more than
10000. 1t is needless to pile up such facts
with regard to the selection of delegates
1t would probably be safe TO say that
there will be at the Griffin meeting a
greater number of people than there were
in attendance upon all of the meetings
that sent delegates to Griffin.

that the Constitutions report is strictly

six seats in the hall, which, calculating
that Jackson, the janitor. stood up, would
make it all right.

Talking about women's rights, it seems
that the rights of women have been
abridged by the school board of the town
of West Chester, Pa, in a manner which
deserves immediate attention. The board
has adopted a rule which requires the
school ma am to sign a contract that she
will not get married during her school
term. Now, isn't that unreasonable? Sup
pose the school were to be deprived of
a teacher in the middle of a term. should
that consideration weigh against the pos
sible future happiness of the teacher? The
want of a teacher would not last for more
than one term at the longest, while if the
teacher were denied the privilege of
getting married, under the rules, her
want of a husband might never be sup
Piled 1t is not reasonable to suppose the
young men are going to wait upon the
convenience of the school board. If they
cannot get wives in West Chester when
they want them, they win go on to the
next town, and the school ma'ams of West
Chester will be left in the lurch.

A large proportion of the silverites have
given no study to the silver question and
know very little about H. They are sim
cere in believing that If our minis were
opened to the free and unlimited coinage
Of silver the market value of silver would
advance to such an extent that the silver
dollar would circulate on a parity with
the gold dollar. The leaders OF the silver
movement, however, DO not believe any
such thing. The most of them take care
not to let this fact be known.
1t was stated by an Alabama congress-
man in Washington a few days ago that
the Alabama democrats who favor free
silver coinage want sound money. and
that If they believed silver dollars would
not circulate on parity with gold dollars,
if the coinage of silver was made free,
they would be against free silver coinage.
1t is a pity that the truth isn't presented
to those Alabama democrats in q way
they would understand it!
a South Dakota man, writing to the
New York Herald in favor of interna-
tional bimetallism, makes a statement
that shows that the opening of our mints
to the free and unlimited coinage of sill
yer would not materially affect the price
of silver. He says: IF the demonetiza-
ton of silVer in 1916 by Great Britain. the
financial Colossus of the world, through
all the succeeding fifty-seven years. pro-
duced no perceptible decline in the value
of silver, as was the fact, is it at all likely
that the reconciliation of silver by the
United States alone would enhance the
value of silver to parity with that Of
gold on the basis of the proposed ratio,
and which would mean an appreciation of
no less than 100 per cent?"
Free coinage by this country alone
might at first cause the price of silver to
advance a little, but the advance woui1
soon be lost and the price of silver would
fall lower than when free coinage was
begun. The sooner it is understood that
under free silver coinage our silver dol
lar would be worth only 50 cents, or less.
the quicker the silver craze will come to
an end
