STRUGGLING YOUNG AUTHOR.
No Big Demand for Ills Wares Hut He Is Providing Against
 Rush.

"J have just finished" said the struggling young author, another storage warehouse for returned manuscripts, this being of the same dimensions as the other, 20x60 and four stories high, and, also like the other, fireproof. l find it cheaper to build that way and insure myself. It costs a little more, of course, to make the structure fire proof, but the interest on this additional cost IS less than the insurance would be, and the difference l have set aside as a sinking fund from which to pay the taxes and repairs.
 You might infer from this that there has been as yet no widespread general de- mand for the productions of my pen; and, if you should, your inference would be quite correct; indeed, such unanimity of senti- ment as appears seems to take the form of rigidly observed neutrality, with the re- suit that my second warehouse has already begun to fill rapidly.
 But I have still no fear of the outcome else, should throw away these manuscripts instead of storing them; but as 1t is 1 think l am simply putting down a gold mine. Then why doesn't somebody see at least 2 color in these manuscripts now? Well, l don't know; you can't always tell about those things, but some day the gold is dis covered; I've built both my warehouses on corners; so that when that discovery IS made, and the publishers swarm around the buildings asking for manuscripts, l can de. liver not only from doors but from windows, too"

GAVE HIM A TONIC.
The Over Zealous Beliboy Gets . Salt. able Reward for HIs
 Cheek.

A well-known drug drummer, who is pay. ing his regular holiday visit to New Orleans, took the train last Monday evening for ht- tie side trip to Baton Rouge and in the hurry of his departure left handsome bone-han- died umbrella hanging on a hook in the lobby of the hotel. It was tempting prize, but probably every kleptomaniac who saw 1t supposed the owner was seated near at hand. At any rate, it remained undisturbed and was still there yesterday when the drum mer returned. By the way" he remarked, after he exchanged greetings with the clerk, Eve managed somehow To lose my new bone-handled umbrella. Have any of you seen such a thing lying around the officeg"
 A quick -witted bellboy heard the question and, gancing around, saw the missing arti- cle hanging within foot of his head. Sup posing 1t had been there for only few mo- meuts, he promptly grasped the ferrule. "Is this the one?' he inquired "Yesl" ex- claimed the traveller, delighted, land must say I'm surprised nobody has nipped it!' "Aw, they couldn't do that" replied the bellboy. I've been holdin' on to 1t fer v ever since v hung it up." The drug drum mer stopped with his hand half way down his pocket and whimsical smile overspread his countenance. Well" he said, slowly, .1 was intending to give you half dollar, but if you've been holding that umbrella for three consecutive days you're more in need of tonic. Here is capsule of qunine and iron" The gloom which settled down upon the bell bench might have been hewn with an ax.-N. O. Times-Democrat.

Hear Unto Greatness.

A Louisville woman who spent the sum- mer at famous mountain resort in Vir- ginia declares that, like all other places or the kind, It has its star ooarder. This one was young southern girl. She was not pretty, yet far from being homely; there was no special style about her, and she was as heavy on hand as log, and, last of all, she was not particularly rich. But she lorded it over the place, and all the other boarders walked behind like the sister of giddy ''Dodo." The Louisville woman lost sleep-trying to find the key to this social mystery. One day she chatted with the female potentate They talked on and on until finally the subject turned on the Davis family: Did yon know any of them?" she asked.

 And then the other women from the south gazed reverently at the '.just missed" and the Louisville lady exclaimed, softly: "Eureka!"-Louisville Times.

Harbor Notes.

Things have been dull along the
front for two days now. There have
been neither arrivals nor departures
of foreign vessels since Sunday, al
though there are at least a dozen ships
due here at the present time, most Of
them being lumber-laden from the
Sound. Yesterday the departure of the
Kauai, Re Au Hou and the Lehua
caused little stir and the arrival of
the Makee and Waialeale will enable
two ships to- load partially. The pi-
lots office, generally called upon to
perform the services of a general in
formation bureau on the front, had
only one telephone call yesterday
where they are usually receiving thirty
or forty. Freight matters at the Pa
cific Mail wharf are getting into shape
again and the perishable freight is be-
ing condemned and rapidly carted
away

Coal Coming Up.

The work of wrecking the William
Carson is proceeding very satisfactor-
lily to all parties interested. 1t is esti-
mated that the vessel still contains
some 700 tons of coal, which is being
removed at the rate of fifty tons a
day There are very good chances of
eventually saving the hull and bring
ing her into the harbor. In the estima-
ton of the wreckers it will be possible
to move her when the coal has all been
removed. They will not use air, think
ing that the removal of the cargo will
sufficiently tighten her to admit of her
being safely towed. The gasoline
schooner Malolo, with a donkey engine
aboard, is doing good service as a
Wrecking vessel,
