future reward in the shape OF salaried Of

AS a rule, am told, the employees Of the
convention staff receive no wages. but
serve for love and glory Some OF them
may receive money for their expenses, or
what might be called gratuities In some
other shape. but this seems to be consid-
cred exceptional
1t is obvious that no one can say what a
given convention will cost 1t seems to be
considered that $4,000 Is a reasonable mini
mum, and $4,000 reasonable maximum OF
cost. and that anything above or below
would be very exceptional
But whether the expense is more or less
will never be known TO the public. Indeed.
1t will never be known to the city that en-
tertains the convention. The city makes Its
invitation attractive with an offer OF a
lump sum of money and then turns IL over

A SUCCESSFUL "AUTHoR."
Makes Plenty of Money, but His Name
Is Not known.

New Orleans Times-Democrat.
II came down from New York this week"
said well-known book drummer, with a
gentleman who is one of the most success
ful authors of the day. / suppose he has
made almost as much money as Kipling-
perhaps more, for his works have a great
deal larger sale-yet, II / mentioned his
name, you would tell me you never heard of
IT, at least not in connection with letters
His story, which I happen to know, is
curious and interesting. A good many years
ago he was invoice clerk in big paint and
glass house, when 1t occurred to him
to get up a painters manual or col
lection OF formulas, tables, recipes and so
on, OF value to workmen in the business
he compiled the data from all sorts of
sources. and talked publisher into getting
1T out on a royalty. 1t was a slender little
volume that sold for so cents, and. being
crammed full of information of practical
everyday utility, IL proved an enormous
success. The publisher couldn't print IL
fast enough, and although dozen other
manuals have since appeared, ii is still a
steady seller and the royalty never falls
under thousand year. When he made
that lucky hit the young man quit cierking
and turned his attention to getting up
similar small works of reference He
prepared handbook for sign writer's an
other for carpenters, another for stone
masons, still another for gasfitters and
but can't begin to remember them ALL OF
course he knew nothing personally about
many of these trades, but his sound COM
mon sense stood him in stead and the
work was entirely one of iudicious compila-
ton. Moreover, he always engaged prac-
ucal workman TO go over the manuscript
and give him suggestions and advice be-
fore IL went TO the printer. All of these lit
tie books Were successful, and some of
them have been revised and brought I'D to
date half a dozen times. In addition to
what i have mentioned, he has published
a lot OF others on various trade topics. One
of the most profitable was a vest-pocket
book of handy facts for mechanics II was
the result of several years collection Of odds
and ends from magazines, newspapers and
technical journals. Whenever he would see
a paragraph of special interest to a work
ing machinist he would cut it out. Now 1t
would be recipe for removing rust from
tools and, again, some new method of
keeping belts from slipping. and at last he
had enough material for a volume that
Melted him $4,000 profit. AT present he is
taking things easy, but he pines for fame.
He told me on the cars that he was going
TO write novel as soon as he completed
a soapmakers' guide that he has on the
stocks
