JObsOn's Deal.
EHALCoM JoBsoN's "The Mystery
Of the Keep" had not been selling
BY AMY FORREST.

EHALCOM JOBSON'S ''The1 Mystery
Of the Keep" had not been selling
Well-in spite of judicious adj
vertising. 1t wasn't because it was not
sufficiently stirring and adventurous.
It was all that, yet the novel reading
public did not seem to crave it. This
was fact which bothered Jobson and
had him Thinking seriously on this
particular evening.
Suddenly his thoughts took such an
acute turn that they left him staring
vaeantly at the ceiling and caused him
to let his cigar go out. He stared
for an hour, and then he went to bed
with the air of a man who has made
up his mind to something.
Two days afterwards he received a
note from his publisher. Would he
kindly call around? He did. The pub
Usher handed him an envelope con-
tanning $1,000.
Novel selling at last?" asked Job
Worse than ever" said the pub
Usher.
Whats the money, them" asked
the author.
well, it's the funniest thing I have
known in the business. An old fellow
writes in that he knows all about that
keep of yours and appreciates how
you have chung to the truth in writing
of its mystery. He sends this as
token Of his appreciation"
Funny old guy" exclaimed Jobson.
whats his hame?"
Doesn't give any name. That's the
funny partfof it,
well, OF course, I can't take the
money"
Il don't see why not. It's yours. We
don't know the mans name. Do YOU
think We can take it?'
That's true" replied Jobson, SEEM
ing to become convinced gradually.
Il guess there isn't any particular rea-
son why T. should not take it-at least
until we can, find the man and give it
back to him.
"Take my advice" said the publisher.
"and don't try to find him He knows.
what he is doing, and if he appreciates
your lurid story so much that he wants
to pay $1,000 for the pleasure of read
ing it. let him."
Possibly you're right-at least until
I have seen the man.
The publisher hesitated and started
to speak.
IF you want to find him, Mr.. Job
son." he said at last, "the best way
would be to have something printed
about this in the papers"
Couldn't think of it, declared the
author Immediately. TT would look
too cheap-advertising, you know"
"That isn't the right way to look
at 1t. This story is true, and you
shouldn't let false scruples stand in the
way"
"WeIl, you can do as you like about
that matter" replied Jobson, leaving.
If he had been followed he would have
been seen to go directly to a bank and
deposit the $1,000 which his bank book
showed balanced a withdrawal made
ten days before.
The story of the old gentleman and
his appreciation of the Mystery Of
the Keep" was pretty generally adver-
tised In newspaper stories for the next
few days. The sales of the Mystery"
took an immediate Jump. AS soon as
people realized that some one knew all
about this mystery which was told so
thrillingly they wanted the book.

Miss Lintz, Model, Is Dead.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Nov. 23.-Miss
Benice Lintz, who posed for the statue
emblamatic of s'the perfect type of
Ohio woman" for the Pan-American
exposition, died of peritonitis here to-
day. Miss Lintz was born in Milwau-
kee twenty-five years ago. The statue
for which she posed stood in front of
the main entrance to the Ohio building
and gave the model considerable prom
inence in art circles. AT a recent Lon
don exhibition one of Mrs John Sc
mons studies, for which Miss Lintz
posed, was the only American work
to receive the highest award.

with stitching. The belt is Of brown suede
on the tone of the gown. - ~s-+g
Many leather belts are worn both by
children and adults this season. and the
narrow strap belt is thing of the past.
The latest novelty is a rather wide af-
fair; at least three inches and at front
separating into three small straps with
buckles to match. Some Of these are en-
broidered in steel and pearls, one of
which in geranium red was particularly
fetching, and again in steel on shades
of mode suede. There are also jetted belts
which have buckles shaped to be adapted
to the long waist effect, and wide silken
girdles which have ends finished in wide
strap with metal eyelets. These latter
belts crush down into soft folds and are
much more becoming to the average fig
ure than the stiff line given by leather.
For children, patent leather Is as pop
ular as ever, and the white kid belts are
much used over the little coats with either
a harness or self-covered buckle, both
equally smart.

lndianola Again.

It has been generally understood
that the "Indianola incident" has
contributed very greatly to the
strength of Mr.. Vardaman's CAM
paign. This understanding does not
seem to be we'll founded. For if it
can be expected to help the Varda-
man campaign anywhere, then we
should think it would contribute to
his strength in 1ndianola more largely
than anywhere else. Our information
is th4t Mr.. Noel has more strength
there than Mr.. Vardaman and both
the other candidates together. This
information comes from a reliable
man who lives in the town Of Indian
ola, and who took some pains to make
an estimate of the strength OF the
several candidates. -Progress-Adver-

NUMBER AZ
VAROAAAAN AS A DISTURBING FL.
Event.

The following from the Vicksburg
American has much food for thought
for our best and most conservative
citizenship. If Maj. Vardaman is
elected, We have the best Of reasons
for believing that thousands Of negroes
would not only leave the delta, but
in the hills of Mississippi, which
would mean a great drawback to all
classes of white people, whether they
be farmers, planters, business men la
borers or mechanics:
"One Of the most successful plant
ers in the delta told US that if Varda-
man should unfortunately he elected
governor OF this State, and the negroes
on his plantation should fear they
would have no chance to school their
children, he would pay school teach
er himself. He has church for the
colored people on his place, and he is
FULLY convinced the educational and
CHURCH advantages of the negro race
should never be abridged. He is con-
tident that the election of Vardaman
would be a serious mistake. 1t would
alarm the negroes, and probably cause
thousands to leave the State. 1t would
put club in the hands of northern
extremists, and would do more to JUS
tify them in cutting down southern
representations in congress-, than any
thing that has happened since the
war. They would but have to circu-
late Vardaman s writing and speeches
to make it appear plausible, that the
South could not be trusted to deal
fairly with the negroes.
The moment it could be announced
that J. X. Vardaman would be the
democratic nominee for the governor
OF Mississippi, the negroes would be-
gin to be restless and alarmed. Labor
agents from other states could easily
induce them to leave a state whose
governor would be SO hostile to them.
In addition to this, his election
would be reputation of the work OF
some OF Mississippian s greatest states
men. When they said to the negroes,
you can never expect to rule or dOmi-
nate the whites, they pledged them
the faith OF the state in the constitu-
tion, TO secure to them liberal educa-
tional privileges, and to protect them
in their efforts to elevate their race.
Is all this to be sacrificed to the ex-
treme and dangerous views of Varda-
man and his whitecap followers?
What do the farming, lumber, manu-
featuring, mercantile and banking
interest think of it?''

Senator Proctor, of Vermont, in
speaking of the Cleveland boom for
the presidency next year says:
1 cannot believe that Mr.. Cleveland
is trying to secure the nomination for
himself. He seems to be doing all he
can to bring about harmony in bad
ly divided party: He is acting with
dignity and will no doubt be a power
in his party before the next nominee
OF the democratic party is placed be-
fore the country"
However, this may be, your "Uncle
Grover" is not pushing anything in
in the way to keep himself from COM
ing prominently before the people at
all times.

The only reason assigned for the secrecy
was that they preferred to get mar
