REWARDS OF LITERATURE.

Scarcely Another Profession In Which
There Are so Many Disappointed People.
In The Ladies Home Journal Edward W.
Box edtorially writes of the rewards OF
literature and its disappointments to those
who are attracted to the profession by the
Turing and very often greatly exaggerated
reports of big prices paid some famousau
thor Mr. Box disposes of these Will the
wisp stories, and unqualilledly asserts chat
mot one-tcnth OF the entire literary pro
fession of this country and England makes
sufficient money TO live upon Not ten out
OF every hundred authors receive enough
for their work TO support them. There Is
scarcely another profession in which ther1
are so many disappointed and hcartbroken
people The ranks are full of them. They
strive hard They work morning, noon
and night, and they do tolcrably good
work But the results are not worth the
effort i'm nine eases out Of ton.
Why is thisg some one asks. There are
two reasons for 10 First, an author can
produce each year just so much work
which is good and that the public cares TO
read That quantity As necessarily small.
A mans capacity for really good literary
work is wonderfully limited. He must
therefore get we'll paid for everything he
does or the sum total is insufficient for the
work The second reason lies in the con
tractedness Of the market We have mag
azines almost without number, and pub
fishing houses in plenty.
But how much material can one author
sell year to all these outputting channels
! combined? Two novels at the utmost, a
half dozen articles and as many poems.
Let him give more than that, and no mat
ter how good may be his work he Is al
once accused of writing too much-a fatal
criticism for any writer. On the one hand
therefore is a limited capacity and on the
other a contracted market. And between
these the author must livc-or starye
Good literary work will always find 1T
market But it is not profitable marke
to the many. 1t pays well, but not al
thousands have an idea chat ii does There
is a living to be had out of literature b!
tireless work and good writing. A 1alr
comfortable living. But that is all. "
