A BOOK TRUST NEXT.

The public has ben astonished twice in
recent months by the failure of two lead
ing publishing houses-Harper Brothers
and d. Appleton & Co. Their failure was
q matter of wide spread regret because
they had been pioneers in the great art of
book publishing. News now comes from
New York that ii is probable that Col.
G. II. B. Harvey, who is the financial head
of the new financial firm of Harper & Bro.
will also become the head of the revivi-
fled Appleton Company
1t is also said that this is but the first
step toward the formation of a gigantic
book publishing trust, and that within
few months all the large concerns will
be combined under one management.
There is to be a union of houses which
will decrease the cost of production and
do away altogether with competition in
the reproduction of foreign successes.
1t is now regarded as certain that such
a trust will be formed. 1t could prac-
tically control the market, as it would
be in a position to dictate terms to all
news companies and the retail firms
which have standing, not only in this
city. but also in the smaller towns of the
United States.
Prices are to be advanced, cheap edi-
TONS except those which have already
been exploited are to be frowned upon
and as far as possible all competition is
to be done away with.
There is large quantity of Wall Street
money locked up in these two big com
panies, both of which hold valuable rights
and do not have to sell below profit
able figure. They can also largely hold
all literary ta1ppt m he
promoters expect to be able to dictate the
size of royalties to the authors, and to
be willing to make bitter fight against
all those who try to fight the organza :
tion by pushing their works on their
own account. They will be able effectual-
ly to stop the circulation of such works
as they object to. or which are not of the
kind they desire.
There is to be a general division of
profits of the successful books recently
published, and the trust will also be in a
position to dictate terms TO the new au-
thors who have works to sell.
Royalties are to be cut to the lowest
notch. Manuscripts will. of course, be
read by the various censors of the trust.
and those accepted will be apportioned
out to appear with the mprints of the
houses which will best serve to advertise
the publications.,
few of the big plants now in exist
ance will be utilized to turn out all the
books it. is thought desirable to print.
This will result in a great saving of
money to publishers. and the concentra-
ton of labor in all departments will also
make big profits possible. No large ed-
lions of new books will be put out There
will be no filling of shelves with I'M
salable books, and the work of turning
out literary product will be prosecuted
upon the most approved modern trust
business methods.

Il began to write when | was fourteen
years old. and to publish when | was

though not half century as some peo-
pie seem to think. l always wrote natur-
ally, publishing when l could, and still
writing. When my husband and | had
been married year a friend asked him
how many servants we kept He replied,
five servants and one slave The slave
was myself. Through the throes of young
housekeeping l was developing into a
writer, doing both things at once and
unconsciously learning things that have
been of priceless value to me ever since.
Yes, l have grown up children, all lit
erary. Any one of them could collabo-
rate with me on a book. My son is a

HOLMES AND LOWELL.

(W j. Stillman in the AMY Atlantic)
Holmes and Lowell were the antitheses
of the New England intellect, and this
more in their personality than in their
writing, says W. ]. Stillman in the May
Atlantic If Lowell could have acquired
Holmes respect for his work, he would
have left larger image in the American
Valhalla; but he never gave care to the
perfection of what he wrote, for his mind
so teemed with material that the time to
polish and review never came Holmes,
like a true artist, loved the labor limae
he was satisfied, it seemed to me, to do
the work of one lifetime, and then rest,
while Lowell looked forward to success
sion of lifetimes, all full of work, and one
can hardly conceive him as ever resting

LIFE OF JOEL LANE.

Pioneer and Potriot of Wake Ctnoy.
Mr.. Marshall De Lancey Haywood of
Raleigh, who has written several valuable
and interesting historical pamphlets, has
just published biographical sketch of
Joel Lane, pioneer and patriot of Wake
county, including notes about the Lane
family and the colonial and revolutionary
history Of Wake county. 1t is from the
presses of Afford, Bynum and Christie

We give below an extended extract
from Mr. Haywood's most interesting
sketch of the founder of Raleigh. emitting
the portions which relate to family his
tory and are not of general interest:
Many years before Wake county was
formed. Joel Lane had settled at the
point which afterwards became its coun-
ty-seat. and was later the capital of the
State. Ills place of residence was called
Bloomsbury and was then within the ter
taken from Orange and Cumberland, as
well as Johnston, for the formation Of
Wake, and Mr.. Lane was one of the com
mssioners who laid out it's boundaries.
The new county was established by the
colonial assembly in December, 1910, with

or caring TO stop work. Lowell's was 81
generous, widely sympathizing nature,
from which radiated love of humanity
and the broadcast and most catholic help
fulness for every one who asked for his
help with special fund for his friends;
Holmes drew line around him, within
which he shcne like a winter sun, and
outside of which his care did not extend
The one was best in what he did, the other
in what he was. Holmes always seemed
to me cynical to the general world;
Lowell to have embodied the antique sem
timent, Il am a man, and holding moth
ing human as Indifferent to me- Both
were adored by those around them, and
the alteration kindled Holmes to warm
er reflection to the adorers; Lowell felt
it as the earth feels sunshine, which sinks
into the fertile sell, and bears it's fruit
in a richer harvest.
THE BIBLE IS THE KEYSTONE OF
ENGLISH STYLE.
q. Fl. Gardiner in the May Atlantc)
In all study of English literature, il
there be any one axiom which every one
has accepted without question, says J. H.
Gardiner in the May Atlantic, it is that
the ultimate standard of English prose
style is set by the King James version OF
the Bible. For examples of limpid, CON
vincing narrative we go to Genesis, to the
story CT Ruth, to the quiet earnestness
of the Gospels; for the mingled argument
and explanation and eXhortation in which
lies the highest power to the other side
Of literature, we go TO the prophets, and
still more to the Epistles of the New Tes
FL, VII 1rol,O
and feeling which burns away the limits
between poetry and prose, and makes
prose style at its highest pitch able to
stand beside the stirring vibrations OF
verse, we go to the Psalms or the book
Of Job or the prophecies of Isiah, or to
the triumphant declaration of immortal
ity in the Epistle to the Corinthians. If
one were to figure the whole range of
English prose style in the form of an
arch, one would put the style of the Bible
as its keystone; and one would put it there
not only because ii is the highest point
and elimination of prose writing, but also
because il binds the whole structure. On
the one side would be the writing which
tends more and more to the colloquial
which, beginning with slcn finished and
exquisite talk as Dryden crystallized in
his writings, runs Off into the slack and
hasty style of journalism; on The CtLer
side. such more splendid(y and artf. lily
colored prose as Sir Thorias Browne or
the ponderous weight OF Dr. Johnson, de-
generating in the hands o. lesser men into
preciosity or pedantry And with such
explanations we field oul hands in the
comfortable telling that here, at any rate,
is one question of literature settled for
good the standard of English prose style
is the standard of the authorized version
Of the Bible: that style e 50 clear and so
noble that there is nothing more to be
accounted for.

One particularly amusing incident
characterized Congressman Burton's
early experience at the bar. For some
reason it became necessary to request
q continuance in a case in which he
was counsel. After Mr.. Burton had
explained why there should be con-
tinuance the court told him simply to
withdraw juror and the case would
be marked continued. For the moment
the young attorney was nonplused,
but after glancing at the court to salts
fy himself that the judge was in earn
est he walked over to the jury box,
eyed the jurors for an instant and then
firmly seized large, p0rtly German
and endeavored with no little effort to
drag him out Of the jury box. In the
midst of the general laugh which fol
lowed, the court came to the rescue of
the discounted young barrister by ex-
planning that the term was simply
technical and need only be written on
the docket. Saturday Evening Post.
