Morgan Robertson; the we'll known sea-
story writer. is a confirmed enemy OF the
short story volume. He says the publish
er may make money on book OF snort
stories but in ninety nine cases out or
q hundred the author does not. Mr..
Rcbertsons contention is curiously borne
out by the facts in his own case. None
of the volumes of short stories which
he has published has been at all profit
able. vet he is one of the best short story
writer's in this country. So strong is his
conviction that the short story volume
las had it's day, that hereafter he will
publish no books except long stories, al
though his forthcoming volume is almost
a contradiction of this statement. SIN
full Peck, is the title of the volume which
will be shortly issued over Mr.. Robert
sons name. AS originally conceived, the
contents of this book were a collection OF
short stories which had a one principal
character. Sinful Peck. Mr.. Robertson,
however, revised the matter in such
way that it makes q continuous story.
The book is dedicated as follows:
ITO Arthur Henry, the Skipper Of the
Isle O. Quirk, whom | hailed in the
darkness and who sat by me through the
night
The dedication itself contains a story
with the personal element behind il who
is of more than usual interest. Arthur
Henry will be recalled as the author of
IAN Island Cabin a story of his dis
covery and life on a little island in
the upper end Of Long 1slaa1 Sound.
Robertson happened to read Henry s
nd of ho q hDt
time acquainted with him, he wrote ex-
pressing his appreciation of his story. AS
a result the two fell into considerable
correspondence and later on Robertson
was persuaded to spend several weeks
on Penry's Island The rest and recre
alton was just what Robertson needed,
for at the time of going there he was on
the point of a rervous break down.

The usual crop of serious books has
not been forthcoming so far this year.
AS rule, the months of January and
February are devoted by the publishers
to the bringing out of their most serious
looks of the year. 1t is safe to assert
that more works on religion and phil
osophy are issued during these two
months than during the balance of the
wear
Prominent among the serious books of
serious value published already this
year is Professor Woodburn's 1.-THE
American Republic" 1t is more than
a political history of the United States
and more than a text book on civil gov
eminent. II IS not too much to say
that this volume of four hundred pages
fills in a satisfactory manner the great
need of something between high school
text books and Mr.. Bryce's THE Amerl-
can Commonwealth" Professor Wood
burn. who holds a chair in Indian
University, makes haste to grant every
possible credit to Mr.. Bryce, not only
for much inspiration in his teaching. but
for valuable helps in the preparation Of
his written work
Another worthy work is Mr.. ]. c. Fer
uGld's compilation of what he calls
scientific Side Lights" Mr.. Ferna.d
seems to aim al the getting together Of
volumes which shall be helpful to writ
ers. His work on the Standard Diction-
airy was important and from that con-
nection grew his volume of Antonyms.
1t is to be feared that this collection of
words has not been appreciated by strug-
Cling authors as it should be. The
work gives the antonym. the opposite
word, for every important word in our
language. What writer has not strug-
sled in vain to find the word he wants
and has been able TO think only of some
word OF an entirely opposed meaning?
The Scientific Side-Lights is another
kind of assistance. On almost every pos
sible scientific subject, Mr.. Fernald has
made extracts from the best authorities
and from these brief paragraphs it is
possible to get sort of concentrated
knowledge of the matter. A voluminous
index makes it easy to look up anything
in the line OF scientific subjects.

The announcement of a new book by
Mary McLane is an exciting bit of news,
since this young woman has been the
subject of much talk during the past
year and a half. Miss McLane's ways in
New York were most peculiar. 1t is
told of her that on one of her visits to
publishing house she walked into the
office of the chief editor of one of the
magazines, and pulling out a silver half
dollar demanded that the editor match
half-dollars with her. The editor enter
ed into the spirit of the thing and in
three or four minutes had won some
twenty dollars from Miss McLane.
Whereupon the young woman refused to
Fay and began at once to talk of some
thing else. 1t will be interesting to note
what form her ideas will take now that
she has travelled thousands of miles
away from Butte and seen a good deal of
the world since writing her Confessions. -"

stsy-Herr BuiierJahn Likely to

Walter Damrosch is to end his connec-
ton with the Philharmonic Society at the
close Of the present year. The result Of
his one season Of conductorship there will
be announced at a meeting to be held
this week. Herr Bullerjahn. a German
conductor formerly Of Riga, who appeared
here In December in concert with Mrs
Alma Powell and Eugenio di Pirani at
Carnegie Hail. will in all probability be his
successor.
The members Of the society are not salts
fled with Mr.. Damrosch, and he Is quite
convinced that under present circum-
stances It Is an impossible task to bring
the orchestra up to the standard he had in
mind when he accepted the post Of con-
ductor.
The Philharmonic has decided that It does
not want the fund Of at least s25 900 for five
years which Mr.. Damrosch has secured.
Under certain conditions this sum would
have been raised to $4,000. The trustees
were to be Andrew Carnegie, Fl II. Flagler.
Isaac Seligman and E. Francis Hyde, ex-
president Of the Philharmonic. Under the
conditions on which this sum was annually
TO be given. the Philharmonic was to change
its bylaws, making II possible to retire
certain players when necessary. concerts
were to be held once a week and the or
chcstra was to be made permanent in the
real sense of the word-that Is to say, its
members were to play only In the Phil
harmonic concerts. 1t was hoped that the
former glories 9f the society might IN this
way be renewed Its expenses would be
guaranteed and there would be ample time
FOR rehearsals. Mr.. Damrosch had other
ambitious plans for the orchestra and meant
to take IL on tours outside the city.
But 1t was necessary to change the by
laws OF the society to make the proposed
fund Of any value. Now u is co peratiye
and the members play until they feel like
retiring. They rarely feel like doing that
and object 10 any change In the bylaws
which would compel them to get out. So
the annual subsidy for five years will be-
refused at the meeting to be held this week
and Mr.. Damrosch will cease to be can

to pu, the new programme into execution
while the committee was anxious to have
him remain for at least three years. As the
society has refused our offer, another at

The Philharmonic men say they don't

They want a new conductor and the right
