Made Her Husband Her Publisher.
Mrs. O., the wife of a respect
able well-to-do middle-class business
man, has the woodworking mania.
Down to date she has produced two
manuscripts of about 100000 words
each, which purport to be realistic ro-
mances. These she has placed in the
hands of woman who pretended to
have intimate acquaintance with i'm
portant publishers, declaring she could
sell the manuscript beyond question
and collecting fees in advance. AS
the manuscripts were not accepted by
the publishers, the writer visited the
publishers in person, only to find that
her writings had never been placed
before them. They have since been
read by still another publishing house
and politely returned. This has an
gered her husband, who proposes to
have these two novels put out and
advertised extensively enough to in
sure large sales if it costs him half
his modest accumulation.
Writers Who Deserve Sympathy.
None of these women deserve any
particular sympathy, because there is
no need for them to write, but SYM
pathy is in order for the scores Of
young women from interior cities,
who come to New York buoyed up
with the false hope that once here
they can win both fame and fortune
with the feeble productions of their
pens. Here is an instance:
young woman in an interior city
inherited, not long ago, the magnifi-
cent fortune of $1,000. There was no
reason why she should believe she
could write, but she did, and as soon
as the money was paid over to her she
came to New York, rented a tiny fiat
and began to peddle futile little essays
on "The Love of Home" 1.-THE New
Woman" and other stock subjects.
AT first she husbanded her financial
resources, but, little later some one
told her what she needed was more
knowledge of the world, and she es-
tablished herself in a hotel whose
patrons are women only. There she
set up what she called a Salon." and
invited many sorts and conditions of
people to attend them. She had no
difficulty in getting guests-many of
them hopeless experiments like herself
and many others fioaters merely, who
were amused at her venture-and
contact with them gave her a lot of
new ideas which she put down on
paper as taSt as she could. Her
productions were mostly trivial and
crude, and her later contributions were
no better received by the papers than
her early ones. In no wise discour-
aged, she kept at it until all her money
was gone. When that gave out she
turned to posing for the photo
graphers, and last week, finding that
unsatisfactory, she secured a place,
through the influence of an editor who
had returned reams of her matter, but
pitied her, as saleswoman behind the
counter in one of the big department
stores.

The Savannah morning news., 1904-02-21

The remarkable utterances of John d.
Rockefeller, Jr., to his Sunday-school
class reflect this idea. Many people
actuated by more than curiosity have
tried to analyze this remarkable young
man on the theory that he is either
fool or a canting hypocrit. He is
neither. Like his father he is a victim
of self-hypnotism. He has led himself
to believe that he is divinely inspired
and can do no injustice.
A popularity of the Rockefellers and
their associates is that they are salts
fed in great majority of cases in
owning the stocks of corporations they
control. They are willing the bonds
and senior securities should be held by
others. They are ever and always bet
ting on themselves. They are willing
to lay down their money any time on
the proposition that they can get more
out of property than anybody else,
and results seem to very clearly estab-
lish the correctness of their premises.

Women who want to See War.

Women who Want to See War.
1t is only fair to say that not one
OF the women who have applied to
this particular editor for permission
to go to the Far East is a professional
journalist. They are divided into two
classes, first, those who have had some
little success as occasional contribu-
tors. for pay and now believe them
selves ready for the severest kind of
journalistic service, and, second, those
who have never written anything sue
cessfully, but who believe their sue
cess will be assured if they can only
get the opportunity to deal with
great and timely topic
1t is positively amazing to the MEM
bers of the writing profession in New
York-this over-weaning desire on the
part of so many women to get into
the writing business. They come from
all walks of life, and few, if any, of
them have any definite notion as to
what they want to write about, or any
training that would fit them to write,
while large percentage of them are
noWlse IN any way in need of the
income the writing would bring them.
The SIums Her Hobby.
Here are a few paragraphs outlining
the circumstances of some of the re-
cent would-be women volunteers to
the ranks of professional writerdom:
Mrs. b. the wife of a millionaire.
whose social standing is really of the
pest. who has a town house in one of
the Fiftieth streets. a country house
In the South, and a cottage at Lenox;
who spends part of every year abroad.
and is really a clever woman, has been
oeVoting a good part of her time for a
year to breaking in as a writer. I'm
IKE some of the others. she has a
DEFINITE design. She wishes to write
sketches of slum life, material for which
she gathers by going through the low
er East Side from time to time with
her husband as an escort. She is far
more practicable than most of the
women asDirants. When she and her
husband start out on one of their slum-
ming tours. they have the wisdom to
put on their oldest clothes. take very
nttle money with them, and adopt, as
tar as they may, the East Side speech.
she has sold a few articles, and possi-
bly, may attract attention bye and bye.

ing something in the way of pushing
their business and expanding their en-
terprises. True, wherever they have
made their entire into any branch or
division of trade they have crushed,
blighted or absorbed opposition. They
gobble up the properties of their rivals
or competitors, but in doing this they
are inspired with the firm conviction
that they can run the business better
than anybody else.
The chief of the clan, John d. Rookie
Teller, is one of the most sublime ego
lists the world has ever seen, and in
walking over the wreckage of compe-
tition he derives pious satisfaction from
the thought that he is doing the world
a great good in monopoiizing as much
of its business as possible and taking
affairs into his own hands where he
can be sure the business will be done
properly, and to the best interests of
God and humanity. His followers have
become imbued with much the same
spirit. They have sort of fatalistic
indifference to what the rest of the
world may think. They crowd ahead
with the same callousness in their cam
paigns of conquest. They are as mer-
CHESS as ever Mahommet was and as
cruel and relentless as Mad Mahdi
In sinking the shafts of their deadly
spears into the quivering flesh of OPP
position they are imbued with the firm
conviction that they are rendering
service to the Divine Being.

The extent 10 which the lingo Of the navy Is used as slang in the families of naval officers, particularly among the women, is instanced by a little story now going the rounds in Wash ingtOn.
 The youngest daughter of promi nent naval officer was entertaining a friend who had called to congratulate the eldest daughter. who lately had be come engaged to a captain in the same service as her father. The friend, re marking upon the engagement, sug- gested that the youngest daughter doubtless would miss her big sister, wbereupOn the girl addressed quickly replied:

THE DEBATING CLUB.

The last meeting Of the debating soci-
ETY. was we'll attended, only one member
being absent. This meeting was the
first at which the new officers acted.
Owing to the great amount OF bust
ness which had collected, parliamentary
drill was dispensed with and the entire
evening was devoted to the business
session.
The society held an oyster supper at
the home Of Mr.. Lockwood last Thurs
day night. AS it was rumored that GER
tain other members Of the high school,
who also liked oysters. intended to cap
ture the refresh ments, a majority OF the
society, armed with revolvers OF the
heaviest caiiber obtainable, and each
carrying for further protection. four
foot section OF rubber hose. met at she
postoffice corner, and escorted the oys-
tiers to the home Of our host. The COCA
sion was highly enjoyed by all, although
the party broke up early because OF
studying which most of them had to do.
