| biography was the strongest class OF
| the year. and even the number Of i'm
| portant biographies was not large The
truth seems TO be that, although there
ere more readers than ever before.
those readers are wasting good part
OF their time on the most ephemeral 0f
literature. The remarkable thing about
the history Of fiction In 1901 was not
the number Of great novels that APP
peared, but the hundreds OF thousands
OF copies of certain books sold The
pleasantest feature OF the situation is
the fact that the cheap British novel
appears to be yielding It's place 10 the
native novel, which, If no better than
the ether, is as least, American.
King Edward IL said to be apprehen-
sive OF anarchists at HIS coronation
next June. but more lively fear is OF
Alfred Austln's additional stan2a for
the national anthem. Vigilant police
men and soldiers can frighten anar-
chists into inactiOn; no power in this
world can subdue the laureate Of Eng
land. Mr. Austin has heard that II
VIII be necessary 10 write another
verse for God Save the King" and
ne says he Is going TO do H. Tennyson
wrote two new verses Of the national
anthem IN 1858, and they were sung on
the occasion Of the Princess Royals
marriage. The lines are not generally
known
God bless our prince and bridel
God keep their lands allied,
God Save the queen!
Clothe them with Righteousness,
Crown them with happiness,
Them with all blessings bless,
God save the queen!
Fair fall this hallow'd hour,
Farewell our England's flower,
God save the queen
Farewell, fair rose Of May
Let both the peoples say,
God bless the marriage day,
God bless the queen.
Mrs. Edith Wharton Is polishing the
manuscript Of her first long novel and
Miss Carolyn Wells is beginning a sim
liar work. Mrs, Wharton has already
distinguished herself by her short stor-
les, and in the vein which she has
made her own we can hope for great
things She is young, she enjoys all
the advantages Of wealth and leisure,
and she knows all the currents OF
American society. A critic once called
her Henry James In petticoats," but
she lived down the epithet In spite
of the temptation to be merely a fash
ionable wit, Mrs Wharton has worked |
hard and intelligently, and when her |
novel is published she should be re-
warded.
As for Carolyn Wells, most people
would rather see her write nonsense
verses than novels. She has dispa ed |
astonishing proliiicness In composing
funny inges woman novelist with
Miss Wells sense Of humor would have
a great deal of reserve force upon
which to fall back In the emergencies
Of her story But It viii be a shame
If we must be deprived Of Miss Wells
rhymes.

| most OF all to convey the lesson which
! she believes is hers TO impart.
The New York Sun says the editor
OF one Of the widest circulated ten-cent
magazines said yesterday that he had
only enough short stories TO last for
two months and that he found this the
hardest kind of material to get. Every
mail brings him bundles of short
stories, but few Of them are worth
printing. II have had TO beg some Of
the capable writer's to send me short
stories" he said and yet the impress
sion prevails that the magazines are
all loaded up with stuff enough TO last
them two years or more. This is not
true OF any OF them, and II is particu
larly untrue Of their supply Of short
stories"
A spring announcement bulletin, is
sued by one of the largest and most
progressive publishing houses In the
United states, shows that nearly all
the fiction TO be published by this firm
for. the next three months Will be by
western authors. In addition. most OF
the scientific and educational works
will be written by western authorities.
A few years ago such an announce
ment would have been something I'M
heard OF, yet II Is regarded as nothing
out of the ordinary today The writer's
Of the west seem TO have taken possess
sion of large portion OF the field, I'M
Ill there is no longer any such thing as
a geographical literary center" These
writer's do not necessarily turn their
attention 10 western themes. They sim
ply manifest more virility and more II
the enthuslasms that make modern fic-
ton go"
The quality OF the work turned out
by the western school Of writers has
been criticised, and with justice in |
most cases. Taken as a whole, II Is |
crude and lacking In finish. but there |
is no gainsaying Its strength and its |
promise. The literature of the west is
the literature Of the fu-
ture In America, II its growing influence
can be correctly surmised.
What was the average character OF
The books published last year? or the
Sal books issued In America, how
many deserve TO live? The lists show
that 1901 was not remarkable for the
number Of Its important original works.

INCOMES DERIVED FROM
AUTHORSHIP.

The money that comes TO the writer
OF books is always a matter Of interest,
says Edward Boltwood In the Pttsburg
Dispatch
Suppose you get but $500 a year for
your writing you can, with economy,
i've upon that though II would be a
mighty tight squeeze
These words OF doubtful solace are
from a letter sent to Nathaniel Haw-
thorne by an intimate fricni Haw-
thorne Squeezed" all his life, and $500
was as much to him as $1,000 to our
modern author Of a big SELLER
In recent number Of the Times Sat
urday Review appears an interesting
article about literary pay. written by
Frederick Stanford. when Poe was
80 years old and o well known author
he said that ne would accent any gov
ernm Mt position where ne could receive
an annual salary Of $500. Poe was
paid Sl5 for THE Raven" and y25 for
THE Bells" An editor sent SIS 10
Longfellow for "rhe Wreck Of the
Hesperus" and 9TH skeleton in Ar
NOR brought the same price The
serial rights Of Uncle Toms Cabin"
We're disposed Of for $500. The sale Of
the book however. was considered
enormously profitable from the stand
point OF those days The only Amerl.
can authors, previous to 1860. who seem
10 have been adequately paid for their
works We're Prescott and Washington
Irving.
Some people are unkind enough Ito
suggest that Il might be more advan-
tageous TO modern literature If authors
could not make large sums OF money.
The prize awaiting the writer of
novel which catches on" probably de-
morallzes many worthy novellsts and
induces them to work for the market.
II Is significant that within the past
year Mary wilkins. Miss Jewett. Frank
Stockton and George Gable shaye pro.
duoed sword and trumpet hctlon-a sort
OF fiction new to them. But let us
not suppose, for the sake Of argument
or anything else, that authors are over
paid. The hypothesis Is too painful.
This idea that so many authors are
millonaires probably owes It's origin
to the gllttering figures Of gigantic
sales which the up-to-dote publisher
uses In his advertisements English |
critics are fond Of saying that the |
trick is peculiarly American. But here
Is an item from a London newspaper
Inserted under the head of Literary |
Gossip:
zone Of the largest and most repre-
sentative booksellers In town are TAX !
Ing 200 copies OF Ulysses. This. they |
say, II three times as many as they |
would have taken Of a new poem by |
rennyson, four times as many as for
one by Swinburne, six times as many
as for one by Browning"
or course, this is an advertising
reading notice" sent out by the pub
Usher Of Ulysses" II Is quite as sill
y as any similar production on this
ode OF the Atlantic and by invenfing
such twaddle the publishers OF Mr..
Phillips last poem have shown that
hey are only too well trained in mod
'rn advertising methods PERHAPS
hey rejoice In the possession Of an

Messrs. Harper & Bros. publish. Mr..
Austin calls this new collection of the

litical position lofty though II be, Pres

with deep admiration and respect"
Mrs. Humphry Ward new novel will
be called Lady Roses Daughter As
already announced II will be published

Magazine" beginning with the May
number II is worthy OF mention, by
the way. that q dramatzation OF Mrs
Wards Eleanor" will be presented at
afternoon performances In the St.
James theater, London, during the
month of May.
The decline OF the popularity of the
historical novel was predicted last sea-
son, and as yet no cause has been found
10 doubt the accuracy Of this forecast
On the other hand, II must be stated,
IN all fairness, that the present season
has brought forth some excellent stories
Of this school, notably Mr. Hamblen
Sears "None but the Brave" revolu-
tionary tale that will please even jad-
ed palate, because 1t joins ingenuity Of
plot to sound, artistic workmanshlp,and
a nicely adjudged modIcum Of historical
background. This novel which Is pub
llshed by Messrs Dodd, Mead & Co.,
will very likely win that GROWING trib- |
ute Of success, dramatization. II GER
talnly mas all the elements for the max |
ing of a stirring play

reading at the present moment are Mr.
Cyrus Townsend Bradys "Hohenzol-

orous touch. and Miss Ellen Glasgows |

favor, is Mr.. Chauncey c. Hotchkiss'
