UNCERTAINTIES OF BOOKS.
Manuscripts Frequently Rejected Otter
Score the Best Successes.

1t is a well-known fact that the shrewd-
est and most experienced publishers are
often mistaken about the commercial value
of manuscript submitted to them Every
body knows that Uncle Toms Cabin" was
rejected again and again before any one
recognized its merit, and yet it had a
larger sale and has been translated into
more languages than any other story ex-
cept Bunyan ''Pilgrim s Progress. "Alice
in Wonderland was also kicked about for
four years before it could find publisher
although its sales have been larger than
any other book for children except the
melodies of ''Mother Goose" and I've
heard story of more recent publication
which affords equal consolation to authors
who have rejected manuscripts.
While the copyright law was under con-
sideration by Congress, and its fate was
doubtful, an aspiring young author called
upon the committee of publishers who
came to Washington to promote it's pass
age and informed them that he could con-
troll the votes of four or five friends in the
House of Representatives, which he would
bring to the support of that measure pro-
vided they would publish book he had
written and had offered to several of their
trade without success.
Votes were scarce and very necessary,
but when the manuscript was examined
by one after another OF the publishers they
promptly declined to take the risk, but as
the bill approached the final stage, and was
soon to be voted upon, they agreed to cast
lots to determine who should buy the votes
and stand the loss. One of the largest pub
fishing houses in the world was the victim
of fate and received the condolences of its
competitors.
The votes were delivered according to
agreement, and a few months later the de-
spised book was placed upon the market,
when, to the establishment of everybody
familiar with the circumstances, it made
an instantaneous thit." The first edition.
which was small, sold in few weeks. The
second was disposed of before it left the
press, and now the fifteenth edition is on
the tables of the booksellers, the total
having passed $4,000. 1t has brought the
publishers profit of between $4,000 and
$4,000, and over $4,000 has been paid the
author as royalties. Chicago Records
Washington letter.
Nicholas Hallock of Queens, L. L.. en-
graved his name on silver quarter in 1874.
1t continued in circulation until a few DAYS
ago, when it was taken in change by the
railroad agent at Queens. As the name
was still decipherable after the coins fifty
years of wandering the agent turned it
over to Mr.. Hallock.
