Millions Of Psperbacks.

THE amount of paper bound novels
which are consumed annually in the
United States is an increasing factor
in the publishing business" said W.
H. Knapp, representative of a New
York publishing house whose line con-
sists largely of paper bound books and
cheap editions of noncompetitive works.
Our firm has a yearly output of pa
per stuff amounting to about 1900, 600
copies. 1 suppose that about 5000, 900
copies are read annually in the United
States. In addition to this is the ava
lanche of cheap cloth bindings, which
cost almost as little as the paper bind
ings. Yes, the summer resort business
requires a large amount of our product
books that are read once and then
thrown away.
My sales this season have been bet
ter than at any time in the last ten
years. One of the things which is cut
| ting down our sales is the fact that
publishers are now reminding popular
copyrighted fiction in cheap covers and
throwing them on the market at prices
which are but little above the price OF
paper covers or of classics and non
copyrighted fiction. ''-Milwaukee Wis

BLOOMER GIRL
OF 80 TO WE'D

All the sensations Vineland, n. j.,
ever had sink into insignificance COM
pared with the surprise occasioned
over the wedding announcement of
Miss Susan P. Fowler. Miss Fowler is
one of the original dress reformers who
is probably as well known as any Worn-
an in the state. She conducted farm
here for forty years, and never would
have a man around. Last fall, at the
age of so years, she concluded that her
farming days were over, and she must
have a man around. George Fowler,
aged 46 years, of La Moiles, Mimi, saw
the statement published to that effect
and applied for the position. The let
ter in reply pleased him much, and in
his second letter he intimated that his
real object was seeking a wife.
Miss Fowler was at first astoundsd at
his audacity, and wrote that she was
thinking more of adopting a helper
than marrying. The Minnesotian re-
fused to take no for an answer. Core
spondence followed, and finally Miss
Fowler says that higher power in which
she has always believed drew her with
Irresistible force toward the man. The
result was the ardent lover came to
Vineland last week to make arrange
ments for the wedding. Receiving a
cabiegram announcing his fathers
| death in England, he was hastily called
| away. and sailed Thursday. His in
| tention is to hurry back and claim his
| Vineland bride the last of June.
| Miss Fowler is highly educated, and
| taught school in her native town.
Amesbury, Mass, up TO IS years of age.
She espoused the cause of dress reform
| when it first originated in the Onelda
community, New York, and when 1t
was advocated by such women as Susan
B. Anthony, Lucy Stone and Elizabeth
| Cady stanton, who, however, gave up
the bloorner suit. Miss Fowler has
worn the, famous garb for over halt a
century. and says she will never discard
| it. She is respected in Vineland Tor
her honesty of purpose, and the people
are preparing to tender her the grand
est wedding serenade possible-Phlla-

PARROT DIMES
ON DIAMONDS

Mrs. H Holland, residing near Fiji
teenth and Woodland. is mourning the
loss of about 500 worth of diamonds
and jewelry which her pet parrot,
Polly, is supposed to have got away
with few days ago.
The story Mrs. Holland tells of her
loss is almost piteous. The implicit
trust she imposed in the bird is broken,
and she is half inclined to kill the
monster
The jewelry disappeared from the
shelf where Mrs. Holland left it few
days ago while cleaning it. The par
rot was in the room at the time, and a
cuff button lying on the floor with the
marks of Polly's sharp beak disclosed
the identity of the marauder. A pair
Of diamond-set earrings, a diamond
brooch and a pair of cuff buttons, all
heirlooms of the family, are missing.
Il would never have blamed the bird,
even after I found the marred cuff but
ton on the floor" said Mrs. Holland, as
she told the story to a friend, her eyes
filling with tears at the time, IF Polly
had not disclosed her own guilt. At first
did not suspicion the bird, but when
she saw 1 had discovered the misdeed
she began cawing and screeching. This
settled the matter in my mind. I
scolded the bird vigorously. but what
was the use? / could not make her
hunt for my jewels, and if she swallow
ed them it was also useless.
1.-THE earrings were small, and she
might have swallowed them, but the
brooch was quite large, and what be-
came of it is a mystery. The cuff but
tons We're quite large, almost too large,
think, for her to swallow.
1.-The jewels were lying on shelf
where the sunlight struck them, and 1
suppose the glstening diamonds at
tracted her attention to them. You
know birds are fond of playing with
pieces of glass. 1 left the room only for
a moment, but it was a fatal moment
for me."-Philadelphia Public Ledger.
