COPY READERS.

Aathors Blnnio Them for Errors They

Most authors are furious at the bare
suggestion Of editing their manu-
scripts" said man who used to be a
reader in big publishing house, but
you would be surprised at tho ludicrous
blunders made by fhe best of them.
When writer is accessible the usual
plan is to mark the bad breaks on the
proof slips and send them to him, with
discreet note requesting correction.
But when house Is getting out book
in q hurry or when the author Is
abroad, this Is cften impossible, and
then the situation becomes very tick
lish. remember. for instance, was
once reading the proofs Of a novel by
one of our best known and crankiest
women writers. She was away on
visit to Mexico and had left strict or
ders to follow copy to the letter. In
one of the early chapters the hero was
shaving himself after long hunting
trip and was exactly half through when
INTERRUPTED by the sudden arrival OF
the villain. A stormy scene followed.
and eventually all hands adjourned to
fashionable ball. The authoress
evidently forgot that her man was still
half shaved, and took the liberty OF
finishing the job. When she saw the
book she was as mad as blazes be-
cause l had interpolated eight or nine
words, and swore would never again
play the barber to save anybody's repu-
tation, Another writer for whom we
got out story made one of his char
acters empty his revolver at a retreat
ing burglar and moment later sent
two bullets crashing through a win
dow to show a rival how quick he was
on the trigger. 1 called his attention
to the inexhaustible pistol and he new
er spoke to me afterward. In an earlier
novel by the same gentleman you will
find reference to the hero's dark,
smooth shaven face and on the very
next page he is 'twirling his muatache.
l noticed 1t in the proof. but rcmem-
bered my experience with the lady and
let 1t go. 1t Is common thing for
writers to locate well known streets.
parks. art galleries and monuments in
the wrong cities, and they make the
sun rise and set at all the points OF
the compass. We had to delay book
for a whole season once because the
author located the Windward islands
on the coast OF South Carolina. and
then went away to Japan before any
body discovered the mistake. To make
the correction involved changing the
whole action Of the story. which. OF
course. nobody dared to do."-New Or

with the slippers. There was not an
other just such pair in all Egypt
Pt, as you may imagine, was very
proud OF them, and very choice OF
them, too. and wore them only on
state occasions. Seventy silver rings
could not be spent every day for
pair of shoes, even by daughter Of
the Pharaohs.
The river Nile swept up close to
the garden of the villa where Pti
lived. and one afternoon the princess
and her maids walked down the paths
to the marble pier. Pti was dressed
in her best array, and one Of her maids
held an umbrella over her head, lest
the hot sun might too rudely kiss the
fair checks of the royal lady. OF
course, she had on her jeweled slip
pers, and as she walked she daintily
held her robe so that they might be
seen. There vas not speck of dirt
on strap or sandal.
The waters of the great river
sparkled in the sunshine, but where
a grove OF palm trees tossed their
branches over the waves great shad-
ows lay. 1t seemed such cool, Sc
cluded spot that the maidens were
tempted to take bath. With much
noise and merry laughter they went

Slang,

Again there has arisen a discussion
as to the use of slang There are times
when thoughts arise within the human
brain which are almost beyond the ut
terance of the human tongue" BY the
aid Of a slang term the man who has
the gift Of speech can get them out. For,
be 1t observed there Is slang and slang,
and 1t may be used with artistry or
with mere stupidity. The special ex.
ample chosen by Oliver Wendell
Holmes for an illustrati ton In his disser'
tatlon on the expressiveness Of slang
was the word "bore;" but this has
found a place in Webster, and must
surely be regarded as legitimate. How
could you express your objection to the
man who bores you except by saying
that he bores you? There are hun
dred other words which are valuable
In such emergencies, and one can only
hope that, by process of the survival
Of the fittest, the best of them will lind
their way into the dictionaries.

1t Is with pleasure that we call the
attention of the trade, and private fam.
lilies, to the fact that owing to the in
creasing demand for bottled ale aud
porter Of undoubted purity and OF the
finest quality. we are now bottling the
same under our own supervision.
The frequent use of adulterants and
substitutes for malt and hops in the
manufacture OF malt liquors has re-
suited in an inquiry for an article of
domestic manufacture, wholly free
from anything OF harmful OF deleterl-
GUS nature, and at price that would
commend its use to all. The failure
hitherto to obtain such an article has
led consumers to purchase imported
goods at Il high price.
Therefore we are prepared to place
on the market bottled ale and porter
unexcelled in quality, equal in every
respect to the imported, at much
lower price.
Our goods being manufactured from
the choicest barley malt and the best
hops in the market, no substitutes
whatever being used, and, being bottled
by ourselves at Waukegan, enables us
to offer to our customers an absolute
guaranty of their purity and quality.
Families can obtain these goods OF
all the leading fancy grOcers, the prln'
cipal hotels, restaurants and druggists
