How to become wealthy though literary is a
question that is perhaps too profoundly agitat-
ing many of our younger authors, who seem
often Overanxious to write what will bring in
the immediate and> necessary dollar rather
than what will add to their ultimate and per-
haps posthumous fame. Mark Twain's ex-
planation OF how he acquired fortune with
out sacrificing his ideals may contain needed
lesson. In a recent conversation with Mr..
Howells he was recalling some of his early ex-
periences, and said that his difficulties had
taught him some thrift, adding: But 1 never
knew whether it wiser to spend my last
nickel for cigar to smoke or an apple to eat I"
When Mr.. Howells ventured to wonder how
such lack of decision could conduce to worldly
success, his fellow author explained "Inde-
cision about sTsnding money" he said" is
worthy Of cultivation. When 1 couldn't decide
what to buy with my last nickel I kept it, and

Danish IT from the infante library as too stimu-

romance as calculated unnecessarily to harrow
their feelings with its fanciful tragedy, and to
