The last two or three year, have
showed unprecedented increase in
the production OF wealth all over the
world The United States has had
its full share OF the increase and has
easily led the procession of nations.
In our country the advance has been
general. The farmer manufacturer.

borsr have all participated And In
each great department of industry
there have been special and large
gains. But 10 we look for one where

have come forth to bring not only
primary but secondary wealth from

French Literary Enterprise.

An interesting phase of French literary
enterprise is related by the Gaulois as
follows: Some months ago Paris news
paper ordered story of adventure from a
we'll known novelist. The price agreed
upon was one franc per line. The novelist
straight tway hunted up an old man of let
ters-the unknown collaboration Of many
more famous authors-who agreed to write
the story for 25 confines line. When the
work had reached its second part In the
course of publication, the novelist learned
that his old client was seriously i'll. Has
tening to his beside, he found him dying.
In agony for the fate of his story, the nov.
elist rushed to the office of the newspaper,
got hold of some back numbers in order to
pick up the threads Of the romance, and
brought it to a speedy end in a few chap
ters. Then he went to the office with the
manuscript.
"What's thatf" asked the editor.
"Why, the continuation and end of my
story"
"Oh, then you want to change 1t, I sup
pose, because, you know, you sent In the
last chapters three days ago"
Admirable self possession on the part OF
the novelist prevented disaster, and he
finally evolved this explanation: The old
man whose price was 25 centimes line
had himself sublet his task to a third writ
or ut 10 centimes, and thus the work had
been finished in safsty.-New York Trib.

Would drive bust to tears.

John Smiths wife had baby,
Two rowdies had bout;
Browns children had the measles,
Miss Flip's dog is dead,
Miss Tattle had quilting,
And not word was said.
Take up the printers burden
He pufis the old dead town;
He calls the women beauties,
And lies just like clown;
He lauds the sity fathers
And prints their pedigrees;
They pay him back by cutting
His publication fees.
Take up the printers burden
Give him a little rest;
With all his imperfections
He doubtless does his best.
About his knavish neighbors,
He tells not half that's true,
Believing that the devil
Will sometime get his due.
