tirely one sided. During portion OF
three sessions Senator Rawlins, OF
Utah, delivered wearisome and mo-
notonous presentation of the demo-
cratic attitude. He was followed on
Friday and Saturday by Senator
Carmack, of Tennessee, who succeeded
in filling the chamber and affording
much amusement to his friends and
opponents, but his oratorical buffoon-
cry and his slangy epigrams, while
they amused for the time being, were
not ia keeping with the dignity of the
Senate nor the Importance of the
subject, and the senator's personal
attack upon General Funston was as
seriously lacking in good taste as 1t
was in justice. The Tiflman style of
oratory, which, unfortunately, seems
to be growing more prevalent on the
democratic side of the chamber, is
bound to detract from the influence
OF the democratic party, for 1t is
offensive to the common sense and
good taste of the American people.

The Earnings of Authors.

New York Commercial Advertiser.
In the very interesting address deliv-
cred last month by NJ. Chaumie. the
French minister of education, at the Du-
mas celebration, he gave some striking
figures with regard to the great ro-
mancer's pecuniary success. Dumas. it
seems, received during his career the sum
dn round numbers) of 1000. 600 francs as
the reward of his literary labors. Now
as Dumas began to write in 1929 and died
in 1869, this sum represents his earnings
OF exactly forty years. His average in
come from his pen was, therefore, 10000
francs or 1000 per annum.
There are many popular authors at the
present time who may be tempted to sniff
d~isdainfully at $4,000 as the result of a
year OF novel writing. At least half a
dozen noVelists could be named who have
done far better than this-who have. in
deed, very possibly made two or three
times this sum. They may feel inclined.

themselves as greater than Dumas populo
JUDGE. The really remarkable fact, how
ever, about the case of Dumas is not that
he earned as much as $4,000 in a year. but
that he kept on earning this same sun of
money every year for nearly half a cen

rate signed, scores upon scores OF PLAYS.

The Fiction Hunger.

August Atlantic.
Mr.. Howells had no sooner proved, a few
years ago, that a certain form of realism
was the finally evolved type in fiction than
the great reading public promptly turned
around and bought Treasure Island.
That does not prove Treasure slanG" a
better story than "Silas Lapham;" 1t proves
simply that a trout who will rise to a
brown hackle to-day will look at nothing
but a white miller tomorrow; and that
when the men of the ice age grew tired
of realistic anecdotes somebody yawned
and poked the fire and called on n romanti-
cist. One age, one stage of culture. enc
calls for stories as naive. as grim
and primitive in their stark savagery as
an Icelandic saga; another age, another
mOod-nay, the whim that changes in each
one of us between morning and evening
chooses stories as deliberately, consciously
artificial as the Fall of the House of
Usher" Both types are admirable. each IN
it's own way; provided both stir the mag
nation. For the types will come and go,
and come again; but the human hunger
for fiction of some sort is never stated.
Study the historical phases of the art of
fiction as closely as one may. there come
moments when one is tempted to say with
Wilkie Collins that the whole art of fiction

A PHENOMENAL SHOT.
My father had fired at random during
the night before the battle, but at dawn
he observed an Indian reloading his gun
behind a tree. Only part of the redskins
body was exposed. and to infict a mortal
wound It was necessary to Craze the bark.
Father was a noted marksman, and at the
crack of his rifle the Indian bounded back
and disappeared behind a tree. After the
battle father went TO investigate. True to
his aim, the bullet had clipped the bark
and a dead Indian was stretched on the
ground. The bullet hole in his body cor
responded to the bore OF fathers gun, but
nothing could ever make him acknowledge
that he a killed the savage.
"For a long time after we first came to
southern Indiana, farmers went to church,
funerals and everywhere in their rough
Jolt or farm wagons, or on horseback,
long distances. There wasn't a farmer in
Clark county that owned a buggy in 1910.
One OF our ~neighbors bought a carriage
in 1874, and everybody thought him aris-
t~ocratic, and dubbed him General Polk"
then a candidate for the presidency.
Prices Of farm products were extreme
" low until about 1851, or 80, and then we
had a period of great prosperity. with both
prices and crops good. My father dealt in
live stock for several years, and L know
that he bought good cows at from 81 to 50
each. and the very best at from $40 to S11.

year-old steers for 800. Eggs sold as low
as three cents a dozen, corn and cats at
ten cents a bushel. and wheat as low as

every dollar of it. Good horses sold for
$40 each and the very best would only COM
