n HHO shall say that literature is
WhW not a paying business, once it
WW is upon footing when it be-
comes paying at all? Once
known, once popular, and it is not easy
to find a trade as paying as that of
letters. A newspaper has lately been
exploiting the subject of how much
the literary elect are paid for the lu-
cubrations of their brains and in in
vestigating the subject has unearthed
some interesting information. 1t says
that the New York Times has recently
paid a dollar a word for nine chapters
of an unfinished novel by Disraeli, and
remarks that it is probably more than
the author when alive received for all
his other work. The Sherlock Holmes
stories, new series just published
by Golfers Weekly, brought to their
creator $4,000 or about go 81 cents
word. 1t is hard for the average read
er to realize that the Sherlock Holmes
tales should be worth as much as that,
but it is not at all likely that the paper
buying them, would come out loser in
the transaction. There has been
craze for the famous detective stories
ever since the redoubtable Sherlock
made his first bow to the public, and
after having been killed off by Sir Con-
an Doyle, he was resuscitated at the
earnest request of his admirers both
in this country and in England.
Our own Dicky Davis is able to COM
mand 40 cents a word for stories,
which, it must be admitted, is doing
pretty well for Dicky, and for his war
&c fa6 ho he
received $3.50 for the first three
months of the o-Japanese war. But
then it has been known for some time
that Mr.. Davis is a rich man solely
from the proceeds of his writing.
After the latter record, it is curious
to learn that Mr.. Kipling only received
35 cents a word for Kim" and Mrs.
Humphrey Ward was paid but SIS, 900
for the serial rights of Lady Roses
Daughter" Booth Harrington, we are
told, commands % cents word for any
story he writes. In the matter of poet
ry, popular or great versifieEs-by no
means synonymous terms are paid
very well. James Whitcomb Riley has
been paid as high as $1,000 for a short
poem and Kipling received that same
price from McClure,s magazine for his
verses on the Russo Japanese war.
From these startling figures recent
number of literary periodical argues
the lack of taste of the American peo-
pie, as some of the poorest work of
well known writers is paid beyond its
value, and the best work of less prom
inent workers is decidedly underpaid.
1t simply goes to show that editors

The First White Men In Minnesota-By
Warren Upham. Published by the Min
nesota Historical Society at st. Paul.
No man in this section of the coun-
try is better fitted to write of the early
beginnings of Minnesota than Mr..
Warren Upham, secretary of the Min
nesota Historical society. This excel
lent and exhaustive brochure, sent
L lie G 10 b with the compliments of
the writer. was read at the annual
meeting of the Historical society in
1902, and relates to the explorers.
Groseilliers and Radisson, the first
white men who adventured as far
north as this state-or what became
this state-in 1856 and 1863, and touch
ing upon their discovery of the upper
Mississippi river. This account of
their travels is based upon their own
quaint story Of their adventures, writ
ten by Radisson1 and preserved for
many years in the Bodleian library at
Oxford university, until about twenty
years ago when, Mr.. Upham tells us,
1t was published by the Prince Society
OF Boston, an organization devoted to
the publication of early and rare docu-
ments. These two Frenchmen, who
We're brothers-in-law, undertook many
voyages and expeditions together, and
the writer gives a most entertaining
account of their lives, characters and
the adventures they met with In their
travels. Mr.. Upham goes very minute
ly into the expeditions of the two
F'reDchmen and makes long extracts
from the quaint log kept by them, in
which they describe the tribes OF In
dams they met. and the topography of
the country they visited. The writer
even thinks it possible that they
reached the region now included in
this city. or at all events came near il.
Included in this account are sketches
of all the early explorers and also a
chronological table of those mentioned
In the body of the pamphlet, which
completes work of great value to the
state. This most interesting contribu-
ton to the history of Minnesota is in
cluded in the official collection of his
torical volumes belonging to the So
ciety. and shows great research upon
the part of Mr.. Upham, who is a well
known authority on the subject of

tempt to show forth the causes of the
struggle, and by means of pen pictures,
to make clear how each side thought
itself right and was animated by pa
triotic purposes. 1t is not necessary
to go into the story; it is long, COM
plicated and introduces so many char
acters that it would be impossible to
do them justice in Il brief review. The
entire period of the war Is covered.
ard here within these four hundred
pages, tie battles which are dead
issues today, are all fought again
and gone into with great detail. While
1T is written by southerner and from
southern point of view, the writer
has been just in his estimate of the
men who fought for the union, while
he denounces those who inspired the
struggle. The book is fairly well writ

well to reopen questions and bitter
nesses which the kindly hand of time
has closed. There is a pretty love
