that writer's are stimulated 70 work hur-

In these remarks there is unquestionably

they are not all true. In New York there
are several publishers who take pains 10
watch for genuine literary talent, and when
il is found 10 foster IL. To a young author,
whose first books have already made him
widely known without bringing heavy
financial rewards, one publisher gives a
living salary for the reading Of manu-
scripts three hours each afternoon for five
days in the week. So the author is free TO
devote the morning hours TO his fiction.
Another publisher makes heavy advance
payments TO a novelist, who was gradu-
ated from college five years ago, and who
devOtes a whole year 10 the writing Of
one novel. A fairly ~well-knOwn magazine
contributor, whose short stories have had
some success. was recently sent with his
wife, on a living salary, TO the mountains
publisher who pays the bill expects to re-
ceive his money back and much more from
the sales Of the book.
All these facts make agreeable reading
for those who believe that success in liter

many a writer Of ability, but there is an
other point of view worth considering.

Poem on John Brown.

States are not great
Except as mon may make them;
Men are not great except they do aud dare;
But states. like men,
Have destinies that take them.
That bear them on, not knowing why or where-
The why repels
The philosophic seercher;
The why and where all questionings defy.
FAR back in youthful nurture.
Prophetic facts that constitute the why.
All merit comes
From Drawing the unequal:
All glory comes from daring 70 begin
Fame loves the state,
That, reckless OF the sequel,
Fights long and well, whether il lose or win.
And there is one
Whose faith. whose fight. whose falling
Fame shall placard upon the walls OF time.
He dared begin,
Despite the unavailing;
He dared begin when failure was a crime
When over Africs
Some future cycle
Shall sweep the lake-gemmed upiands with its
When as With trumpet
or the Archangel Michael
Culture shall bid a colored race emerge;
When busy cities.
Those. in consultations,
Shall CLEAN with spires and palaces and domes.
With marts wherein
Is heard the noise of nations:
With summer groves surrounding stately homes;
There fugitive orators
To cultured freemen
Shall tell OF valor and recount with praise
Stories of Kansas
And Of LacedaemOn,
Cradles of freedom. then Of ancient days.
From boulevards
O'erlooking both Nyanzas.
The ststued bronze shall glitter in the sun
With rugged lettering:

A German publisher in Stuttgart has

When he heard that she had gone 20 a
Summer Hotel. he trailed her and contin-
ued his long-distance Worship. He was
afraid to get too near for fear that he
would curl up and have a Spasm.
Who was he, a Legal Worm, hat he
should dare TO crave a Word from those
Rosebud Lips or hope for a melting Glance
from those star-lit Lamps? AS for exc

Slow and Dreamy, that seemed only a
vague and far-away Hope of Paradise. and
il was a Sin TO waste time on II.
The best he could hope for was 20 send
her a Box OF long-stemmed Roses and then
go and let a Train run over him and maybe
she would condescend to attend the funeral.
That. or else he could save her life in a
Runaway and die with his Head in her
Lap. All he wanted was a Romantic Fin
ish that would leave a Sad. sweet Memory
behind. He wanted a Guarantee that she
would think OF him a couple OF times and
he would be satisfied to play Village Dog
and die any kind Of a Death.
While in this desperate Frame Of Mind he
met Mr.. Buzzer, the moving Graphophone
and He-Vampire. sometimes known as the
Burned Edge OF the Crust OF Society. When
the unspeakable Buzzer said that he knew
Clarice and stood Aces and Fights. the
soulful Attorney wanted 10 throttle him,
for he could not believe that a real Diana
would trife with A blue Catfish.
However, he accepted the Opportunity to
hold Converse with the Star OF HIS Soul.
