IN Due Foru,.

A man was arraigned In an Arkansas
court many years ago for stealing q
young pig out Of his neighbor's pen;
said pig. or shoat. being alleged to be
worth Q dollar and q half.
The evidence was conclusive, and the
jury, after brief retirement, brought
In their verdict. Guilty Of hog-steaiing
In the first degree"
The Judge remarked that the finding
was proper enough, except that It fall
ed to assess the value OF the pig; and,
further, that there were no degrees In
hog stealing. He must ask the jury to
retire again, and bring In verdict In
due form.
The jury went out, with pen, ink and
paper, but were badly nonplused over
that word form" Finally one Of them,
who had formerly been a justice OF the
peace, drew up document to which
the other eleven assented. and with
which all hands returned to the court
room. This was the verdict: 1--WE, the

the ordinarily successful one makes.
In the first place the answer to the
question above Is that sale Of 5000
copies Is considered very successful
one, and that a sale OF 1000 copies
pays. We are speaking now, say, Of a
cloth-covered novel which retails at
$1.00.
The entire proceeds, then. OF such a
book viii fall considerably under
$1,000. for It must be remembered that
a 81 book Is not always sold for 100
cents. A 12mo novel contains about
$50 pages, or $4,000 words On rough
estimate such book will cost the pub.

amount to 30 cents. For this book,
which costs the publisher so cents. he
gets from 60 to 65 cents, leaving him
a profit of from 10 to Is cents.
This profit is generally increased
somewhat by the retail sales of the
