Seumas MacManUs, when he was in
this country a year or so ago. used TO
say that he could write "a story in a
day. but he admitted that he did not
care TO try 20 write a story every day.
At the same time Mr.. MacManus did
write very rapidly and he succeeded in
getting his stories published in most Of
the best magazines On the country.
Later on in his career. however, he
saw the folly OF writing short stories
for a living; he began TO write novels.
His latest piece Of work. a long story
OF Donegal, his own country, win be
published in this country and in Eng
land some time this spring.

TV1TLLIAM HAMILTON OSBORNE
VI a young lawyer Of New York
city, is a writer of short stories
who is Just now coming into Dromi-
hence. He has sold. 1t is said, over
seventy stories 10 various publications
during the past six months. and. judg-
ing from the number Of magazines and
syndlcates which are bringing out his
stories in current numbers and from
the announcements Of more stories
forthcoming from the same author one
can well believe that the eNtraordl-
nary report is true. Al the same time
one must not believe that Mr. Osborne
has written these seventy odd stories
during the same period Of time. Doubt
less they represent work extending over
much more time, perhaps a year and
a half Even this would place him
among the record breakers as rapid
worker. Fifty stories in year by
man who is supposed to be practicing
the profession of law IN d large city is,
indeed, a remarkable record. There is
just one danger In this writer's case,
he is likely to write himself out. 1t IS
possible that he viii drain his source
OF plots or viii let the quality of his
work deteriOrate. if he maintains such
a terrific speed. 1T is to be hoped that
he win continue to write, but not so
many as nifty a year.

The BoolIman, in its current issue.
takes up the question Of "the personal
pulp as an authors asset and very
satisfactorily proves the belief In a per-
sonal pull wrong point of view for
the author TO take. In spite Of an that
has been said on the subject. there
seems 90 be q large number Of ambi-
tiOus writers who firmly believe that as
outsiders they do not stand any show"
OF getting their products accepted.
They believe that anything from an
unknown writer is thrown aside and
returned without a reading AS a
matter Of fact the publishers make the
most careful search for good things
among their contributions. Every
house employs at least one reader and
manuscript clerk and maintains some
sort of a system for the proper care Of
every manuscript which Is sent ln 10
them. One house gets In more than
$4,000 manuscripts I'm a years time.
Several get I'M between 5000 and 10000
contributions during the same period.
10 Is the establishment of a system for
giving am manuscripts proper care and
the necessity for maintaining IT which
makes a personal pull impossible. A
manuscript sent 20 am editor and
marked Personal" on the envelope ma
turaliy goes In with the editors mail.
AS a result IL is not In the record Of
manuscripts received or is likely not
90 be- and IL the editor happens to be
out OF town OF busy, as he generally is
the manuscript is not read for several
days. The danger Of loss q very great

ton. I'm ninety cases out of a hundred

The publishers of a life Of Andrew

curious lot Of errors in connection with
the indeXing of the book. which many
OF the books readers would like 10
have explained. Most Of the subjects
consulted Ia the index cannot be found
ON the pages given for the references.
One can scarcely understand how such
condition of affairs got beyond th~
proofreaders. One reader has tried 20
figure out that the paging In the index
must refer TO the pages in the authors
manuscript which contained the ref
erences, but why the index should
have been made up al this form Is an
other puzzle. Perhaps the publishers

of these blind references in the Car

of mental machinery which is now go-
