A certain author, now we'll known to
fame and fortune, once in the battle
for bread, wrote wild Indian story
for northern story paper. That was IL
years ago, and to the story he gave his
real name. He received fat check for
it, but year after year went by and-the
story never appeared. 1t finally passed
from his remembrance, until the other
day, when he received letter from the
publishers informing him that it would
shortly put in an appearance in serial
form. That made the author nervous,
and he forthwith sent the following tel
egram:
Suppress story and return manu-
script and VIII pay three times amount
of original check. -
The publishers replied:
Cant do it. We know a good thing
when we have it. The story is in your
best vein.'
Letter after letter, telegram after tele-
gram passed, but no, he didn't have
money enough to buy that story. So he
has written to all his friends and critics
and has explained the circumstances
and now awaits as cheerfully as possible
the weekly slaughter of the red Indians

cessful fishermen. They have caught
some of the largest pickeral ever caught
in the Douglass waters, and have sup
piled many families in Pittstield village
and vicinity the past season. Mr.. Carr
witnessed a novel scene while out on a
fishing trip recently. 1t was a chase
between a pickerel and blackbird.
The bird was lowering near the water
after flies, when fish some eighteen
inches in length came out of the water
after the bird. The pickeral made a
leap of about three feet in the air,
went into the water and came out again
in pursuit of his prey. The bird was
terribly frightened and came very near
being caught.

The importance of The Living Age to
every American reader, as the freshest
and best compilation of gleanings from
the field of British periodical literature
has been long recognized. Founded by
h. Littell in 1871, it has never ceased to
occupy prominent place among the
foremost magazines of the day. In pur-
suance of the same general plan adopted
by IT'S founder, and to give the best the
world can offer. the publishers have
arranged for the Introduction of certain
New Features so widening its scope
AS to embrace TRANSACTIONS OF notewor-
thy articles from the leading publica-
tiOns OF France, Germany, Spain. Italy
and other continental countries, many of
which contain matter of great interest
and value to the American reader, yet
which, for obvious reasons, are abso-
lutely beyond his reach but for the time
ly help of this delightful medium. In
addition a monthly Supplement will be
given, containing three departments
devoted to American literature. A year
ago the price was reduced from $500 TO
$500 year.
McCures Magazine for December
will contain an account of Nansen's hard
adventures in getting 1875 miles nearer
the North Pole than any other man.
1t will be written by Cyrus C. Adams of
the New York Sun, one of the best
geographical authorities in the country
and it will be illustrated with portraits
Of Nansen and his associates, views of
his ship within and without, and other
pictures.

MOVING A BIG BUILDING.
Glassware and CrOckery Were Not
Removed From the Second-StOry.


Removed From the SecOnL-StOry.
What is believed to be the largest thing
ever moved on wheels was started by the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company at
Locust Point in Baltimore, yesterday
The enterprise consists in moving one of
the company's warehouses. which is 40
feet long. 100 feet wide and two stories
high, distance Of 100 feet.
More than month ago a force of nearly
one hundred men began the work of plac-
Ing 600 rollers under the building, and SO
nicely have the plans been worked out and
so much confidence have those in charge
that no -mishap will occur. that one hun
dred tons of glassware and crockery that
are in the second story have been allowed
to remain there.
In moving the building forty jack-screws
will be used, and about ninety men will
afford the power. The preparatory work Of
removing the huge structure consisted in
putting down. almost 5000 timbers, each
averasing 30 feet in length and by II and
II by II in thickness. These form the UNI
foreground foundation of the present site
and the new site adjoining. On top of
these there were laid and securely fastened
timbers measuring by II inches to make
the ways tracks over which the shed
will run. Next the 1000 rollers, consisting
of 5-inch pipe two feet in length, We're
placed on top OF the tracks, one to every
tween the rollers and the floor beams of
the shed were placed more of the timbers
q by II inches.
The number of by II timbers used is
$500, each 40 feet in length. making a
total of nearly 1880 large pieces of tim
Der.
The next step taken was to saw the old
foundation timbers away, when the struct-
ure rested upon the tracks. On the east
side of the building forty jack-screws were
braced against a railroad track
The work was begun at the time fixed
upon, and at a given signal thirty men
simultaneously gave thirty screws one en-
tire turn each This raised the building
the slightest traction Of an inch. The work
then proceeded according to details ar
ranged by those in charge
The progress made was necessarily SLOW
and it is expected that from two to Ave
days will be required to move the building
the 40 feet. Then the iack-screws will he
used to raise the big structure to the
height desired. to take the rollers out,
after which the screws will be used to
gradually lower the building to its new
foundation.
The cost of the structure when it was
erected ten years ago was $3O,UOO, and the
cost of moving it will be, it is expected,
about $4,000
1t is stated that the ground on which the
building stands was made up from soil
brought from all quarters of the world.
Many years ago sailing ships reached Bal
timore III fleets to load grain, and dumped
their earth ballast On the location mem
toned and In this way large part of Lo-
Gust Point was built up Of international
soils.
The site from which the big building is
being moved will be dredged out for a
length of 40 feet and width of about 130
feet, to give additional accommodate tons for
the Baltimore and Ohio'S line of steam
ships between Baltimore and Liverpool.
