The wonderful activity among wrI

The wonderful activity among writ
ers Of fiction now being displayed in
their efforts to write successful plays
has two estimable points which are
worth considering, One Of these con-
Germs the author; the other, the pub.
lie. The first is financial; the second
is artistic. The novelist's eagerness
to appear on the boards Is found In
the fact that the great majority of
novels sell less than 1000 copies.
which. ON an average, will yield the
author from $3.50 to $500. On the 9th
er hand, play that is only moder-
ately successful will yield its author
almost at once $500 or $1,000. And
that is why all writers Of fiction seem
now bound on this road to speedy
riches. Many of them, however, take
the indirect course of writing the
novel first. For this reason climaxes
are handled with more care, the dia-
logue is brighter. and incidents are
multiplied.

MOTHER oRUpce's BABIES.

Their little cottage stands apart
From all it's splendid neighbors,
As II It felt touch OF shame
At Mother Drudge's labors.
A bit OF vine to make IL sweet
IL all it has, or maybe,
A -pansy in a broken pot
To please the precious baby.
And there she works from dawn till dark
:. To keep the kettle going,
For all the comforts Of their lot
Must be OF her bestowing.
And would she even breathe a prayer,
So scanty are her riches,
Her poor petitions must he dropped
Between her hurried stitches. :
With rosy cheeks and rugged limbs,
With tiny caps and dresses,
She sees her bonny children blessed, e.
And comforts her distresses .E
Unconscious of their stinted lot n
And ignorant Of crosses. u
'Twould seem a shame to pity those :
Who never dream Of losses.

And yet Of all their little lives
They miss this crowning glory,
To cuddle close in mothers arms
And listen TO her story.
They never watched how many stars
Are in the golden dipper,
Or fell asleep at dark to dream
Of Cinderella's slipper
The doughty giant Hercules
May charm their wiser neighbors--
They never heard q word Of him
Or all his mighty lsbors!
OF Midas, and the golden touch
He craved to make him richer
Or how the milk came foaming VI
In old Philemon's pitcher.
The daily fight for daily bread,
For little coats and dresses,
Leaves scanty time for Mother Drudge
To dream Of tendernesses.
Yet though the days and weeks are full
Of disappointed maybe's
Life seems sweet and pleasant thing
To Mother Drudge's babies.

Many people are busy hunting for
rubber, or something just as good"
That is an interesting report which
comes from the United States consul at
Matamoras, Mexico, to the effect tina
rubber can be and has been extracted
from the "hule" plant. This plant,
which is said to contain forty per cent.
Of rubber grows in the mountainous
districts of Mexico and also in parts of
Texas, Wyoming and Nebraska It Ia a.
species of sage brush, with small leaves,
and some three feet high. Machinery
for extracting the rubber from this
plant was made in the United States,
and is now in operation at San Luis
Potosi. The plant, writes the consul, is
fed automatically into the cutters. Af-
ter it comes out of these machines it is
carried by bucket elevator and dump
ed into steam-jacketed mixing tanks
containing certain chemicals The pro-
duct then runs by gravity into hydrau-
lie filter presses, after which it is sub
jected to hydrostatic pressure of sew
enty-fve pounds to the square inch, 1t
is then conveyed into settling tanks,
where the gum, being heavier, settles to
the bottom, while the chemicals and
residue are drawn off.
The cost of production is said to be
slight, and the principal difficulty to be
overcome is the high freight rate, box
car being quickly filled on account of
the lightness and bulkiness of the plant.
But if there is forty per cent of rubber
in the plant it's owners can afford to
pay a pretty good freight rate.

PROGRESS IN SPIN.

| Since Spain got through fruitlessly
fighting with the United States she has
made progress in many ways. For in
stance, in changing from horse, mule
and steam to electric traction. In Bar
celona the Compania Anomina has
completed and is running it's cars on a
double track of about twenty-five miles,
through the principal streets. The
chief constructors were an English
firm, but the wire, tracks, electrical
machinery, engines, and motors all
came from the United States. The
same firm Of contractors will also build,
within a short time, four-mile single
track road in the same city. 1t Is now
operated by horses, and when electricity
has been installed the line will be OPP
Grated in conjunction with the other
road The contracts are all let for furn-
ishing the eight miles road from Bar
celona to Horta, one-half of the line be-
ing ready for use. The Barcelona-Hor-
TIA Company also owns the line from
Barcelona to San Andres. 1t is 51s
miles long, double track, and is now
operated by steam, but is to be run by
electricity. The mule line of eight miles
from Barcelona to Sans has been pur-
chased by German capitalists, who in
tend to introduce electric traction.
Other similar plans have been made
and Spain will soon be ND to date in
electric traction. That will be power

some other ways

Mr.. f. D. Kilburn, State superinten-

efdered in his report this year the pro-
posed tax on savings bank deposits. He
is against it, though he thinks legisla-
ton to prevent the deposting of large
sums by rich people, who know safe
investment when they see it, might be
salutary. He has convinced himself
that this misuse of the savings bank is,
relatively, rare. He says: For every
concession or immunity that is granted
to the savings banks they return bene-
fits manifold. They inculcate thrift
and diminish poverty. The fact of
tends to interest him in public ques-
lions, and to enroll him in the ranks
of those people who stand for honest
money and for the preservation of the
public faith inviolate. 1t contributes to
make him independent and self-respect
ing, and therefore better citizen AS
to the system as whole, who will ven
ture to deny that it has part in di-
minishing tax burdens, even though it
does not actually pay taxes? But for
the savings banks it may well be ques-
toned if the state or any Of it's SUBJ
divisions could float their bonds at the
rates OF interest at which they are now
eagerly absorbed.
