boy stories appeared there was consid-
ierable turning of feeling against the
author whom they lad just been prais-
ing to the skies. OF course the present
attitude of the ma jority of readers to-
ward Kipling may not be right-public
opinion is often wrong because the gen
eral public is a tickle and sentimental
body-but the fact remains, though there
may be shame for it, that kipling no
longer stands in the same high rank
which the public gives its faVorites as
he stood three years ago. Barely, two
thirds of the popular edition of Kipling
have been sold, though the prices have
gradually declined from fifteen to six
dollars a set. At the present time more
than 5000 sets are in the hands of
New York house and these are to be
disposed Of at very low rate in order
to be clear of the edition
There are some facts relative to Kip
ling which should be kept in mind. OF
his works probably nearly three
million volumes have been sold; he is
still in highest demand by the publish
ers and commands tie best prices for
his short stories: his yearly income from
his writings amounts to at least thirty
thousand dollars, and there is an army
of leading critics who still regard him
as the greatest living writer of fiction.
Lovers of Kipling are not called upon to
mourn his passing.

John Graham Chicago pork-packer,
sends his son to Harvard until the latter
is considered able to succeed in the man

samples of the philosophical wit of the
elder Graham:
Does a college education pay? Does it
pay to feed in pork trimmings at five
cents a pound at the hopper and draw
out nice little country sausages at
twenty cents a pound at the other end?
Does it pay to take a steer that's been
running loose on the range and living
on cactus and Detrified wood till he's
Just bunch of barb wire, and sole leath-
er and feed him corn till he's just
solid hunk of porterhouse steak and oleo
oil?

a boy to think and TO think quick pays;
anything that teaches a boy to get the
answer before the other fellow gets
through biting the pencil pays.
college doesn't make FOOLS it develops

Culture is not a matter of change of

there's as much art talk on the Lake

The process of publication of book
contains no more interesting department
than that in which the publishers read
ers figure. The reader is an unknown per-
son. who. in the opinion of the rejected,
is a Drainless substitute for a person OF
ability-to appreciate good literature; TO
the accepted the parsonage may never
be known. Indeed, it is the object Of
the reader to remain unknown. They
have to be mystery as to their identity,
purposes and methods Of work, because
the wrath of disappointed authors and
the scorn of the public hang over them.
They are constantly rejecting MSS.
which afterwards become famous and
they arc often the humble instruments
which influence the publication of the
veriest rot
1t is said that one fiction reader for
Boston firm pretended to be wool
salesman. He carried MSS. to and from
his home in cylinders similar to those
used for wool samples. In spite Of all
precaution. however, one writer at least
suspects him. Not long ago at tea
this short story writer poured cup OF
chocolate down the readers neck. The
latter had rejected a story of the form
er's a few days before and notWith
standing the profuse apologies which he
received, the reader now lives trem-
bling existence for fear others may find
him out. As supposed wool salesman
he must now feel something like the wolf
in Sleeps garments.
1t is a natural feeling on the part of
the reader to avoid public recognition.
To have advised against a book which
afterwards becomes record breaker
must be dishcartening enough without
having added to it the scorn of the public
as well In the matter of reflections the
list is so notable that one wonders Uncle

dress, Miss Armfield, High Point.
Competent critics have been warm in
praise of Miss Armfeld's poetical talent.
Some of the poems show merit of a
high order and warrant the belief that
in Miss Armfeld the State has a poet
destined to rank high among Southern
poets. One of the best poems is "The
Two Roses" an is printed here to sho-
Miss Armfield's style:
She gave me rose at the dawn of day,
At dawn when we had to part,
That its beauty might cheer the weary
way,
And shut from my sight the skies Of gray
Which threaten the brayest heart.
Ills evening now, and 1 hold the
flower,
All faded and withered and torn;
But its fragrance sweetens the twilight
hour.
For it conquers my soul with subtler
power
Than that of the rose of morn.
She gave me her love in the days of
youth,
q my heart, how fair was she!
In her eyes fond light | beheld the
truth
And ever it gladdened my heart, in
sooth.
To know that they shone for me.
Now the love of my youth. and my
faithful bride,
With her hand close pressed in mine
Is doubly fair as she seeks my side
For her souls light waxed as her beauty
died
Until she became divine.

ESCAPES OF A MANUSCRIPT.

tfTOH the brooklyn EaSle.)
The manuscript of Edward Marshall's
novel Lizzie which is one OF the fall
books published by Lewis, Scribner &c
Co., had many exciting adventures and
some narrow escapes before it was put
into type. Mr. Marshall began the story
several years ago. when he was stationed
in Paris as correspondent. This part
of the story and the notebook in which
Mr.. Marshall had iotted down many in
cidents of life in the Latin Quarter went
to Cuba at the beginning of the Spanish
War and was misplaced with a part of
his luggage about the time when he re-
ceived the wound at FL Caney which was
believed at the time to be fatal. Several
months later the missing luggage turned
up in New York. In the winter of 1900
1901 Mr.. Marshall was living at the Ho-
tel Jefferson, in New York, and had
nearly completed the story when the no.
tel burned down. AS most people know,
Mr.. Marshall lost one of his legs as the
result of the wound he received in Cuba,
but he managed to escape from the burn
ing building by a narrow board laid
across to a wall about two feet distant
Just as he got across the plank he
thought of his story and turned back.
The package of manuscript was burning
when, Mr.. Marshall reached it. but he
brought it out with only one end scorched.
Then he took it to a safe deposit vault
and left it there until it was transferred
to the hands of the publishers. He didn't
propose to take any more chances.

And the fields look drear and sad:

Making Nature bright and glad.
