LITERARY NOTES.


 Wed By Mighty Waves is the title of a. thrilling romance of nl-fated Calves ton, written by Miss Sue Greenleaf and published by Laird & Lee of Chicago. The story is all it's title promises: full of action. dramatic love making, heroic r%scues. hair-brea1ra es,apes and har- rowing descriptions. The author af- firms that the main facts and person. ages are all taken from life and that she has simply grouped together, in a graphic manner a few of the terrible incidents of the extraordinary disaster of Saturday, September 8. 1900. The dedication expresses eloquently, not only the ardent wishes of the writer, but the unanimous hopes of the Ameri- can people; 1t is worth reproduction. ITO the new city of Galveston, which, substantially and superbly rebuilt, and in nJ further danger from wind and wave, will have become in ten years the greatest Americon port on the Gulf of Mexico, this book is respectfully dedi- cated." The numerous illustrations in- serted are reproductions of Photographs and sketches made immediately after

 Laird & Lee have just issued an ex- quisite edition of one of the most pop ular books of the present time, Eliza beth and Her German Garden. Tt con- talns a fine portrait of the stately Princess Henry of Pless. believed by many to be the author of this charm ing work. Also a lovely frontispiece by Joseph c. Lyendecker. The cloth edi- tion, 75 cents), has a dainty cover in colors by the same artist. and is worthy of any library while the paper edition (25 cents) is, without any question the finest in the market. with its beautiful Autographed cover in five colors and its frontspiece.
 The people who read newspapers and magazines have, as a rule, a belief that publishers have no, conscience about loeding up their periodicals with ad- vertisements at the cost of reading matter Yet occasionally some proof comes to the surface that publishers have some scruples in this respect. The Ladies, Home Journal. for example, will accept just so many columns of advertisements and no more. This proportion, for instance, is 70 columns or advertisements as against 122 col umns of reading matter in each issue of 4S pages. When the advertising space Is full all business is declined. The sksptical may ask: But Is there any business left to decline?" There is, de- cidedly. For nearly every issue during 1900 there were fr5m four to twenty-six more columrs of desirable advertising received than could be accepted. and as each column in the Journal costs S1, ,000 the publishers turned away thousands of dollars which. simply because of principle, they would not accept So the interests of the public are srme- times regarded where they are not pop ularly supposed to be.
 Clara Morris. the famous actress. has developed into a story writer whose cievern6gs is conceded by every maga- zirs editor. Consequently there is a place in readiness for everything that cNmes from her pen. She has just fin ished a story called "rha Little Aero bat Girl" It is a pathetic romance of the stage. and will be given early pub llcation in The Ladies' Home Journal.
 Golett Burgess has chosen a unique plot for his new story, "A Mans Part" to appear in the Ladies Home Journal It has the merit If absolute originality, and is so absorbing as to demand a close reading. It has to do with a sweetheart, a confiagration, telephone and sulky. repentant suitor.
