SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1904.

Sitting back in the Easy Chair this month,
! 'HarpeT's" Mr.. Howells talks to the nnum-
4 able aspirants to literary fame who have
slled him for the secret of success. He talks
IA that gently playful mood which lends 80
much charm to his essays, giving good advice
\, aniable that even the vainest of young
iUthoTs must swallow the dose without
;rimacc. 1t is just the right advice Take
ans, says Mr.. HOwells. Do not cross bridge
until you come to it. Leave the end of your
book, to certain extent to take care of ITSELF
Half the failures comes from writing backward,
80 10 say; from starting out with too much of
{" resolution to produce a specific result HE
looked round at the great works Of literary
art says Mr.. Howells, speaking of "EugeniO,"
the character he has invented to express his
ideas, land he believed that he saw in
them the escape from implicit obedience to a
first intention Only in the inferior things, the
mechanical things could he discern obedience"
Begin with a genuine inspiration, and then
work out your scheme; do not plan a scheme all
complete and then expect inspiration to come.
Above all things do not worry about style. "If
You try for STYLE" says Mr.. Howells, you will
be like Il man thinking about his clothes or his
manners. . You will be yourself when you
are lest in your work, and then you will come
into the only style that is proper to you. .
You will then have, without seeking it, your
own swing of phrase your own turn of express
SION, your own dictiOn and these will be your
style by which every reader will know YOU"

AUTUMNAL.
By ERIC MACLAGAN.
The chattering sparrows shook the vine
Till scarlet leaves fell, one by one:
And in the uncIouded West the sun
Had brmmed the cup with golden VINE
The quiet air was washed with rain,
No branch in the brown woodland stirred,
But far among the hills we heard
The lamentable streams complain
There was an end of hopes and fears.
The summer and the flowers were dead.
and when at last she turned her head,
Her eyelids trembled into tears.

The present publishing season differs from
some OF its predecessors inasmuch as it shows
10 signs of having been affected in any way
by the political campaign just brought to a
close. 1t was a question some weeks ago as to
whether a number of books might not be held
back until after the election, books which under
ordinary circumstances would make their an
pcarance earlier in the fall; but the records
show that nothing of Importance has been de-
layed. On the contrary, in some cases pub
fishers have taken pains to get out their prnci-
pal volumes before November s. We have
found, moreover, on making inquiries that
trade has not by any means been dull The
new books have moved freely, not only in this
city but throughout the country; an excellent
sign of widespread prosperity, for books are not
the things that most people 20 out of their way

must note again what, indeed, we are never

became Il serious detriment to the
postal service. Reform was under
taken in 1901; much progress is re-
corded. The department has steadily
proceeded upon the lines of reform
since that date.
The popularity of the rural free de-
livery service is seen in the fact that
9447 routes We're established during
the year. Since 1897, when the ser
vice was started with A routes. it has
grown so rapidly that by the end of
the current fiscal year in June next
there will probably be 80. 800 routes
III operation, requiring an appropria-
ton of $23, 100, coo for its maintenance.
In addition, the department will ask
Tor s3,OO0,OOO more TO provide for ex-
tensions during the next fiscal year
as petitions are coming in at the rate
OF 02S a month asking for the estab-
lishment of the service. The effect of
this great number of routes is seen in
the discontinuance of 5jS7 offices dur
ing the year, During the same time
2549 new offices were established in
regions the free delivery does not
reach.
The department asequalized salar-
les and length of routes during the
year so that the carriers covering the
most territory get the most pay. A
carrier covering a route of twenty
four miles or over gets 1920 year,
and for each mile less than twenty

Washington, Dec. 15.-Hon. Lloyd
Lowndes was here yesterday in
conference with President Roosevelt
for over an hour. He discussed with
the President in detail political affairs
in Maryland, especiallyS the present
situation in the Republican party.
Mr.. Lowndes gave the President an
account of the recent meeting of
prominent Republicans held in BaIti-
more, and assured him that a mum

taken a very active interest in party
matters, but who in recent years

Mr.. LoWndes when seen at his hotel
seemed thoroughly satisfied with his
visit to the President, and he intimat-
ed in a guarded way that he believed
that in the appointments to be made
IN Maryland in future the President
would not ignore some of the old lead
ers who were now again in active
utilization with the party. He said
that he regarded the prospects of the
Republicans in the state as most
promising on state and municipal
matters.

Mr.. Lowndes chewed his cigar, and

Postmaster General Wynue Says SAL

ton OF therlaiIs Have been Carried

Postmaster General Wynue in his
annual report shows a satisfying con
dition of affairs in the department.
Rural free delivery has marched
steadily forward until now there are
3S.013 routes in operation and 1000
more will be added to the roll by the
middle of January. The Postmaster
General saws that the postal revenues
have increased during the year. Sal
utary changes in the classification of
the mails have been carried out great
lv to the benefit of the service.
Amendments to regulations faciliat-
ing the handling of mercantile pack
ages in bnlk have been put into effect.
At home anG abroad postal facilities
have been extended. Exchange of
money orders with foreign countries
has been simplified and cheapened.
Parcels-post conventions were extend
ed to European countries as an exper-
iment with Germany five years ago.
They have been extended to Japan
and the British colony of Hongkong
to meet changes of trade conditions
in the far East; also to Norway.
Economy and strict accountability
have been enforced in all branches of
the service. While the deficit of SIS
179, 1872 is greater by S4,219, 447 than
for the fiscal year 1908, it must be
borne in mind. Mr. Wynne says, that
the expenditure authorized for the
extension and maintenance of the
rural free delivery service during the
past fiscal year was 81, 800, 237 greater
than the preceding year.
