What Happened to a Novel.

Somebody predicted that Doubleday Page & Co.,, would make mistake in publishing a novel of the tbig-selling" sort in midsummer. Yet one bookseller alone ordered 10000 copies of Thomas Dixon's new novel, "The One Woman" after he had read 1t. and ordered 250O more but could not get them before the book was issued on August first It has not been uncommon, the publishers say, for dealers to increase their orders for "The One Woman three to five times the original order when they found that other people were sending for books fas- ter than they could be printed. and that this midsummer novel would be a record breaker in point of sales. More copies of Dr. Dixon's first novel, ''rhe Leopard s Spots,'' are now being printed than ever before. This first effort of his sold 1oo,- GOO copies before the end of the first twelve months.

t,ow George Ade Came to Write Fable

George Ade's own account of how he came to write the fables that have made him famous, of which the latest are in- cluded in his Peaople You Know (Har- pers), is given as follows in the Boston Literary World: 'In 1S90," writes MT. Ade, having risen to weekly income of fifteen dollars, I lit out for Chicago, where 1 got job on the Morning News, later the Record as reporter. The fol- lowing year I had pretty good assign ments. and in 1893 l did special worlds fair stories. When the fair closed up became the father of a department in the paper called Stories of the Street." l had to fill two columns every day, which, with a cut or two, meant from twelve hundred to two thousand words. My stuff was next to Eugene Fields 'Sharps and Flats When Fields died I got his desk. l used to get desperate for ideas sometimes. One lucky day I wrote a story on a church entertainment, in which Artie was the spokeman. That was in 1895. I heard from that story so much that Artie was given a show once a week. In 1898 I ran up against the fa- ble of the old serio-comie form. I had learned from writing my department that all people, and especially women, are more or less fond of parlor slang. In cold blood I began writing the fables to make my department go, but had no idea that those fantastic things would catch on as they have. My first one was entitled the "The Blond Girl Who Mar ried Bucket-Shop Man" Soon other papers asked permission to copy the fa- bles. and then to share them with the Record. and by-and-by a publisher col lected them and made up a copyrighted book There you have the whole thing in a nutshell"

FEW JOBS FOR KANsANs.
Governor EaiIey's Impressions of the
 St. Lotus Worlds Fair.

Topeka-Governor Bailey has re- turned from St, Louis, where he went with the Kansas Worlds fair com mission to interview the exposition authorities about Kansas's share Of the Worlds fair patronage. He thinks Kansas will get some Worlds fair jobs after while.
 "We did not go to St. Louis entirely to look after the job matter" said the governor today, but also to see about the space to be allotted to Kansas in the various buildings. There is a big scramble for space and for position, and think we will be treated fairly we'll We ought to make big show ing in the agricultural and live stock departments and I want to see a good exhibit in the mineral line, too. This is a feature of Kansas resources that other states know little about. With our salt and our coal and lead and zinc and gas and oil, and our cement and fine brick, and our new glass fac- tories, Kansas ought to make big showing in the mineral line and open the eyes ol Ile world.
 "There isn't anything very desirable to be had ln the line of jobs at the falr, but the directors have promised that Kansas shall be treated fairly in the matter. About all the places there will be will be those of guides, gate keepers and ticket sellers. The char. wheeling business and everything or that sort is sold to concessionalres.
 "There has been tremendous amount of work done on the fair build ings since was there last spring, ami things are rapidly assuming shape on one of the largest buildings in the fair, Oh which not stick of timber had been raised on May 1, they are now putting the staff. Many of the build ings are nearly completed. Work IS going rapidly forward on the Kansas building, and it will be done in about sixty days. Iowa is little ahead or us. but there are only one or two other state buildings as far along as ours. We have one of the best sites on the grounds. Kansas, Illinois and Iowa have the best sites, just at the top or a hill"

A unIque American Artist.

MT. Howard Pyle. whose religious nov el. Rejected of Men. continues to excite the most diverse opinions from religious and secular reviewers, is at work for Harper & Brothers on some important illustrative work. MT. Pyle has the dis tinction of being probably the only Am erican artist of distinction who has not only never studied abroad, but never even travelled there. His work is a sig nificant example of what purely Amer ican training can do for the American artist. for it Is generally acknowledged that MT. Pyle has maintained for years a position In the front rank of American artists So far as versatility Is concerned his record is unique, his work being equally distinguished whether in pen and-ink, black-and- white, or color.

the Hudson Bay territory north of Lake Superior. In their journeying they came across a distinguished appearing man leading the life of a hermit. Upon better acquaintance they learned his story, which was to the effect that he was a iineal descendant of the Bourbon Kings of France. His immediate ancestors had left France at the time of the revolution He also showed them documents In sup port of a claim to the ownership of the entire site of the city of Quebec. On their return to Boston these gentlemen made inquiries concerning the hermit, and found, through reliable sources, that his story was in it's essential features entirely true.
 In 'The Pines of Lory'' Mir. J. A. Mitchell hinges the interest of his story largely on the voluntary elf-banishment of French noble to a lonely island in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. This bit of fancy was published long before the au- thor learned of the coincidence in real life, which gives fresh confirmation to the adage about the relations of truth and fiction.

Miss Effle DoueIass-Putnam.

Miss Fife Douglass-Putnam, whose first novel, 'fCirillo," Is creating stir in reading circles, is a young Cincinnati woman who received her early education in South Bend, Indiana. She is of Scot tish descent, and her greatest claim to fame before the appearance of "Cirillo' is her career as a solo performer upon the harp. She has lived abroad for sev- eral years perfecting her mastery of this noble instrument, and has been heard frequently in concert both in Paris and in the principal cities of this country. Her devotion to musical arts accounts both for the subject matter of "Cirillo'' and for a sort of musical quality which is peculiar charm of her literary style. Miss Douglass-Putnam is a we'll known member of the American colony in Paris, and the recognition of her ability as harpist amongst the best French musi- clans is a credit to America.
