true of Jules Verne, who, if current
gossip be accepted, contracted nearly
forty years ago to produce two books
a year receiving for each one the
equive t of $1,000. A question that
at once suggests itself is whether
Gen. Wallace would have striven,
year after year, to write other and
even better books than that which
made him famous had he sold this one
outright for comparatively small
sum, and whether Jules Verne would
have continued his marvellous produc.
tiyeness had he received a consider
able fortune in royalties from any OF
his first books.
This, of course, is question not
to be answered definitely Under the
spur of financial need Gen. Wallace

such possibility. To them he was

We fancy that some of the younger
