There IS one home in this big city in
which the fires Of Christmas will burn
slowly In It there viii be no Christmas
carols and love songs-uo myrtle boughs,
hollyhock wreathes and cedar branches
with red and blue and white lights and
containing gaud;ly painted toys. Instead.
gloom and sadness and remorseless anguish
viii have prominent places around the
family hearth. Such are the conditions
now. and such they will be for days to
come in the modest-Iookirg but turbulent
hcme of Charles j. Smith, 81 Thirty-n.nth
street
And thereby hangs tale. Smith had
been out Of work since 1894 up to a month
ago He is a railroad man. and because
OF his activity in the strike three years
ago has been On the black list OF the rail-
roads. But ne got a job four weeks ago

home. His wife stood on the steps and
welcomed his coming with smiles. He gave

returning home from work. slipped on as

( bad luck Mrs. Smith was not at home.

LITER AIRY PROFIT.

There are few things along the line OF
individual enterprise and exertion more
profitable than is literature. There is
not in it. even for the successful, the
colossal fortunes which are sometimes
piled up in day by speculative ven
ture of the capitalist; but, measured by
individual salaries or personal earnings,
literature, for the successful, is a rich
field. if not a gold mine. Conan Doyle
receives S35, 900 for Rodney Stone"
which was S165,oOo less than was paid
the late Alphonse Daudet for 'Sappho. y
No wonder there is a great temptation
TO obtain recognition in the world of
bellies lettres by fair means or foul. The
possibility Of a great reward is always
a temptation. Rudyard Kipling proba-
bly, receives more money for his literary
work than any living author. He was
maid $50 for each of his ''Barrack
Room Ballads and "The Seven Seas
netted him S11,O0O. Kipling also re-
ceived $1,000 for a story of 10000
words, and was paid 81 a word LOT
''White Horses" Rider Haggard will
not write a story for less than $4,000,
and Ruskin's sixty-four books net him
$4,000 a year. ''The Bonnie Briar
Bush and "Auld lang Syne' enriched
Ian McLaren $4,000. Mrs. Humphrey
Ward received $40. 900 for Robert Els
mere" $50. .OOO each for David Grieve'
and "Marcella," $4,000 for ''Sir George
Tressady," and $4,000 for Bessie Cos
trelli." Zola has been paid $4,000
for his contributions TO the worlds lit
erature. but Rev. Dwight Moody, in
financial reward, has Jared better than
all others. his royalties from "Gospe
Hymns being estimated at s1.25o,O00
Try as we will, we can not all be q
Moody, Kipling, a Z0la or even Mrs

WERE NOT BALL BEARING.

The men who express regret for A Il.
Campbells tragical taking off are num-
erous. and they represent about every
element TO be found in the state. He
was a conspicuous coSmOpolFte, and his
friends and admirers We're to be found
about equally distributed in ecclesiast-
ical, in political and in bum circles. He
was no less Reverend Campbell than
General Campbell. He was as illus
trous as Il moralist and a prohibition
ist as he was congenial and brilliant
in the midst of political banquet or at
a social eScapade. If he was inellectu-
al. possessing a soul filled with the
finest sentiments and most tender SYM
pathieS. he was none the less the brute
when the occasion offered. The Law
renee Journal sends out an editorial es-
innate OF the unfortunate man which
IS keenly discriminating and sums up
the man as q whole most completely.
The Journal says that: I'm his tragic
death there is no particular lesson; If
q
when being born one should insist upon
having a balanced head. The lack of
that was what ruined General Camp
bell He was an able man. as fine all
orator as the west has ever seen, a
charming companion and gentle and
kindly man. But the cogs in his head
did not III into each other properly, and
me wheels were not ball bearing. He
could get drunk with as keen enjoy
ment as he could make a speech TO the
old soldiers or preach a sermon. and as
a matter of fact the three things were
the greatest delights N his life. His
feelings for his wife and boy Were more
like worship than love When they both
died his heart was broken and his mind
physical and moral wreck ever since.
He lacked STABILITY of character: ne
lacked practical, horse sense. He could
move an audience to tears or laughter
al his VIII. but he couldn't buy a beef
steak without allowing the butcher boy
10 cheat him in weight or change. He
could not apply his mind to one thing
for a sufficient length of time 10 make
II a success He WAS essentially a fail
ure from business and professional
standpoint He was a genius in his
way, but he neither knew how to nol
cared To employ his talents He brought
disgrace on his party, his family anC
the state by public cglroUsaI. and theT
laughed 81 the horror with which peo
pie vi0wed the affair. 1t was very lik,
his whole life for him 10 say with n.
last words that the spirit of his wife
was with him, and would take hin
with her. Let us hope that his las
declaration WAS not the mistake tina
his whole life had been
