STORIES OF JULES VERNE.
An Instance OF the French NoveIist's
Love For boys.


An interesting story has been passed
around in French literary circles with
regard TO the contract by which the
late Jules Verne. the famous French
novelist. issued two books year. says
the New York Times. Ii is said that
this contract was made forty years
ago and called for two stories year
for 4 remuneration of 10000 francs
per annum, or about $4,000 1t is said
that. despite the enormous circulation
of his works, which have been trans
lated even into Persian and japanese.
Jules Verne never received a penny
more than his stipulated salary. His
publisher. however. gave the author
valuable presents from time 10 time.
One of the peculiar traits of Jules
Verne was his love for the boys for
whom he wrote. On one occasion he
walked into a school reading club in
Ramsgate. England, and. laying u let
