sCHIPPER BADLY INJURED.

Head Mashed to Pulp Almost, But He
 Still Lives-Crushed by Car.
 Frank Schipper, the sixteen-year-old son of Joseph schipper, of 10 Welton street was severely, if not fatally, in- jured yesterday afternoon by being crushed between two trolley cars of the Fair Haven and Westville railroad. He was riding on a bicycle out Chapel street, on the right hand side of the street, on his way to the Yale field, and just after he had crossed Sherman ave- nue he started to cross over to the left hand side with the intention of going down Derby avenue, the junction of that avenue and Chapel street being but a small block from Chapel street and Sherman avenue. Young Schipper was riding directly behind a west bound car, and as he started to cross the tracks it is supposed that his wheel slipped and that he was unable to pull himself together before the car bound down Chapel street came along and crushed him between that and the west bound car. Both cars were stopped as soon as possible and the motormen on each showed cool heads, considering the circumstances.
 When Young Schipper was picked up it was seen that his head was terribly crushed. that his right arm was broken and that one of his legs was crushed below the knee. He was put aboard the car and taken to Grace hospital, where it was reported at a late hour last night that his chances for recovery were very small. Some of those who were witnesses of the accident are said to have stated that the motormen on the cars were entirely blameless for the serious results, as Schipper's quick cut across the tracks was not expected.
 The hospital authorities stated late last night that the case of young Schip- per was about the worst that ever came into the hospital. His features are practically unrecognizable. and aside from the injuries mentioned above, his right collar-bone is broken and there are several other minor bruises that go to make the injuries of the young man as severe as those of any patient seen in the hospital in long time.
 Notwithstanding his severe injuries Schipper was conscious last night.

THE LITERARY LIFE. ,
It is as Poor as Any Other Vocation Af-
 fords-Details are Not Picturesque.

It IS as Poor as Any Other Vocation Af-
 fords-Details are Not Picturesque.
 Apart from egotistic imaginings, the truth is that the literary life is as poor as any other vocation and prabably poorer than most, in literary materi- al. Its details are not picturesque; they are not romantic; they are not even interesting, except to the literary felloT" himself, and not always espec- 1ally so to him. There is next to noth- ing in them to attract the curious whose work and play are on different lines, and other literary fellows do not care to hear about them, for they know just how it is. Brown wrestles with a son. net; all that can be said about the pro- cess, the frowns and heavings and gur- glings, has been said a thousand times, chiefly in comic papers and paragraphs. If he accomplishes his task, possibly he gets five or ten dollars for the result; in one case out of a million or two, it may be remembered for a decade. Smith sits down to cudgel a novel ou; Uf his inner consciousness: who wants to watch his throes and share the joys or sorrows that precede or attend crea- tion People sometimes do in the sto- ries, notice, but these are high f1ights). His wife may have to see that he knocks off for dinner and gets to bed before 2 a. m. She may share his anxiety as to the concrete result. His intinlates, if he is impudent, may say, Smith is try ing to write a novel," and go their way.
 pyFf QpnE is acclaimed as new Tennyson. Why then, if notoriety or fame be won, there will be hard facts, statistics, biograph- ies and photographic data, articles or items in books of reference. We shall want to know what the great man eats for breakfast, and where he buys his trousers. But as for fiction, no. The professional life of the man of letters, however successful, can as rule fur nish nothing to romance; and as for re- aIism, realism can find more to interest and instruct in the daily experiences Of a plowman or society woman, not to say of a lawyer or engineer. Machinery is more hopeful field for tales than let ters, and it is being worked now. Busl- ness has innumerable varieties and ramifications, but what is there that is not hopelessly commonplace in wri- ter's work, beyond the joy of discovery, as situations and characters evolve themselves from his brain and take on semblance of vitality? Stevenson could put that in a few glowing lines, but not in his stories; he knew 1t was not a theme to dwell upon. One might as we'll, or better, but for the dishonor of it, tell the plain prosaic tale of his own courtship, the glamour gone, the bloom rubbed off the peach; at least this could be spun out much farther Frederic Bird in the Era.

A jolly story is 'The Story of Lizzie McGuire," written by herself, as the ve- racious title page of this booklet in forms us. The booklet is very cleverly gotten up with attractive covers in col ors and with portrait of Lizzie herself on the front cover, and another at full length for the frontispiece. Lizzie is trump evidently and tells her story in an irresistibly funny style. Her chief woe lies in the forlorn fact that no one has been captivated with her sufficient ly to propose to her, and her chief dread is that she will die an old maid. Her avoirdupois is something like three hundred, which is trifle against her matrimonial prospects and if, as it is claimed, a woman's face is her fortune, then Lizzie's chances are desperate un- less her picture bellies her. She is thir- ty-five and lives in Chelsea. Those who would like to sympathize and condole with Lizzie and read an amusing skit should invest fifty cents and see what she has to say for herself. The book is published by Henry A. Dickerman X Son, Boston, and is for sale by the lead ing booksellers.

"On Guard Against Tory and Tarle ton is the title of the third and con- cluding volume in the Stuart Schuyler series,-stories of the American ReVo- lution, which have already delighted thousands of young readers. The au |, thor, John Preston True, well knows how to interest youth, as the previous volumes of the series have demonstra
 ted. and in this story he, if anything, surpasses his previous efforts. MT. True's Scouting for Washingt on, :"
 'Morgan's Men, and his other patrio- tic stories appeal to all fond of good | stories. Another merit of his books is their wholesome and instructive charac- ter and as such they can be also com mended. The present tale 'Oa Guard, ;" is alive with striking situations and de- | nouements and battle pictures. The 1 hero of the story, Stuart Schuyler, was a major of cavalry during the revolu- tion, and did gallant deeds in a manly fashion. Later on in the story he is promoted to the rank of colonel and in the rush of events something happens that surprises him immensely, for he finds through documents placed in his
 hands by an English lord who had been
 his foe in battle that he is heir to big es-
 tates in England, and is cousin to the
 self-same English nobleman in ques-
 tion. Two pretty love matches are
 made before the story ends. The book
 is handsomely illustrated by Lillian Crawford True. It is published by Lit tie, Brown & Co., Price $1.2O net; for
 sale by all leading booksellers.
