TUESDAY, JUNE IA, 1904.

Living by authorship is an extreme
hazard which a surprising number of
persons undertake, but wherein amaz-
ingly few succeed, says the Reader
Magazine. The price which many pay
for perseverance in this hazard is a
continuous outpour which sooner or
later earns the contempt of the public
and defeats it's own ends. Above all
things should an author be sufficiently
independent of his royalties to be able
to write when and what and how he
pleases. Let him teach or edit, for a
livelihood, let him expound the law
or the gospel, let him be what he will
or what he can, for the necessities OF
life-and if he be an ardent author,
loving to write above all things, he
will not let his necessities be too de.
manding-but let him. never think OF
the financial returns of boolS-producing

responsible to make sure? A long list
of disasters each year has this human
failing of unthoroughness written out
large at its head. A train stops be-
tween stations and fiagman goes
back. But, thinking more of the
smart run he will have to make when
he is called in than he does of the pos
sible danger to his train, he does not
go far enough. Out of the darkness
