New York, oct. 21.-There are a few
men among the Rough Riders who hrst

ranches are located. One of these is Fred
IIerrig of Troop X, who was formerly
smnloyed on the Elkhorn range.

Smith in writing his subsequent novels.
FIRST he dictates a skeleton or outline
under chapter headings, and this is writ
ten out by typewriter and arranged in n
book. with a wide margin down one side
OF the page. In this margin he notes
as they occur 10 him. ideas, Incidents,
bits of conversation and so on that he
thinks may be worked into the respective
chapters opposite which they are en-
tered. When of this preliminary work
he thinks he has done enough. he takes
his notebook and shuts himself up with
it in as still aud out-of-the-way room
as ne can command, and produces a
connected narrative, written usually with
a lead pencil This the typewriter copies
out and then Mr.. Smith takes the new,
fair copy. and proceeds to make it look as
bad as possible, revising and revising
again. He has been known TO rewritc a
chapter more than half dozen times.
Even after a thing is in type he won't let
it 20, but corrects until the printers sroan.
Ii is not a little TO this gift for taking no
end of pains that Mr.. Smith owes the
pleasant experience of never having had a
manuscript rejected, although he took up
writing rather as a vocation after he had
come fun into middle life.

emergency, the colonel gave a yell you
could have heard two miles. The Rough

onel was right in it with him that day.

New York, Oct. 2211-he higher heroes
of the war, on coming home, have found
awaiting them fine literary opportunity.
Indeed, most of them had unmistakable
limitations of the existence of such an
opportunity before they started home
Even by cable they were urged to pen
the story of their exploits at a good round
price. Most of them have come to terms
and in the course of time we may expect
contributions to the literature of the war
from about all the men who we're con-
spicuous in It, at least on our own side
Meantime, a question that is perpIexing
editors and publishers not a little is
whether the desire to read about the war
will keep up long enough for them to
market all the costly material they are
question can be nothing more than lucky
guess; but certainly there win always be
large public eager to read anything.
however long it may be getting publish
ed, that some three or four OF the great
men of the war may write about it, Any
thing, for example, from Admiral Samp-
son, or Admiral Dewey or Admiral
Schley, will never lack readers; and two

stand, already promised to write some
thing. Again, anything from Gen. Miles,
or Gen. Shafter, or Gen. Merritt. would

these sure cards" there are not enough
to go round among all the publishers and

The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1898-10-23

Of course The war and the relish for
war literature works just now quite
against writer's and books that are a best
of doubtful interest. But they don't seem
to have told perceptibly against "the ap-
proved good masters" For example.
Kipling's new book of short stories. "The
Days Work" published at the close OF
last month, is selling so rapidly that the
publishers are 1000 copies behind their
orders. They had sold 12OOO or 1900 cop
les before the book had been out four
days. Meanwhile, the sale of Kipling's
last preceding book, Captains Courage
GUS" keeps straight on. The publishers
announce that 5000 copies of 1t have now
been sold in America alone Another
book of which the sales seem to keep
straight oh is Paul Leicester Ford's "Sto-
~ Of an Untold Love-" and still another
Is Hopkinson Smiths Caleb West" Of
the former Of these, the publishers say
that 1900 have been sold; and of the lat
ter 1900 When one reads of these good
sales, he feels that he should like to
know just what they mean to the au-
thor; but that of course, is always
sacred confidence between author and
publisher. You could not figure Il 10
nicely unless you knew the exact terms
OF their understanding But one can
draw rather close differences from general
personal knowledge of the subject; and so
inferring in the instances mentioned,
should say that sale of 5000 copies OF
Captains Courageous meant for Mr.
Kipling about $1,000 in addition to what
ever gross sum may have been paid him
down for the right 10 publish the book
and that a sale Of 1900 copies or "Caeb
West" meant to Mr.. Smith something over
$4,000. and sale Of 22Oo0 OF THE Story
of an Untold Love- meant TO Mr.. Ford
about the same. the retail price of his
book being less than that Of Mr.. Smiths.
The popularity OF Caleb West" makes
OF present interest an account that Mr.
Smith gave friend OF mine some time

novel. II was at the time that col

Louisville. Ky, oct. 19.-Ex-Queen Lii
ioukalani has made demand upon Miss
Anna Berry daughter of Congressman
Berry of Newport. for the return Of the
royal Hawaiian flag, which formerly wav-
ed over her palace in Honolulu. The flag,
with other property, was seized by the
provisional government. When a party of
congressman went 10 Hawaii before the
annexation, Mr.. Berry who was a mem

dent Dole gave the flag TO Miss Berry
The flag is sixteen feet wide by thirty-five
feet long, and has eight stripes Of alter

is the coat Of arms of the now deposed
royal family of Hawaii Miss Berry says
she will not part with the flag.

Late beginnings in literature, like that
of Mr.. Johnston, are not ordinary, but
thew occur rather oftener than one who
has not followed the matter might sup
pose There Is the familiar instance Of
George Du Maurier, who was IS when he
published his first novel, and 60 when he
scored his great success with "Tri,by."
Charles Dudley Warner was Al before he
published his first book, and 1t was but
a collection of rather slight humorous
sketches written for the newspapers Of
which he was associate editor. Some
years passed after that before he was a
fully recognized author. Frank r. Stock
ton, while he began writing early, had
published only one book before he was 49,
and that a slight volume of chidren's
stories Hopkinson Smith was AZ when
his first book appeared, and he had
nassed 80 before "Col. Carter Of Carriers
vile" came out TO give him a general
name. Oliver Wendell Holmes was within
a year or two of 50 when he began to
write "The Autocrat of the Breakfast
Table" for the Atlantic Monthly. and he
had published before that only some oc-
casional medical papers and two small
volumes Of occasional poems, bringing
him into no standing with the general
public as a literary light" These are
instances that occur TO me at the moment
Many others could be added by a little
thought and search. Still It remains true
that authors generally have their names
pretty well made by the time they are 10,
if they make them at all. Now and then

fore he was 20. r. c. Martin.
