was the cause of him now using |
crutches, as one day he attempted to \
run across the street III IrUnC or
a swiftly moving car in order to
accommodate customer, and was
thus seriously injured.
Larry slept above livery stable, and
he often watched the smart equipages
come and 60. This gave him scant
comfort, it is true, but it was the
means of implanting an idea into his
brain that brought him quite an in
come. 1t happened in this way: One
day as he sat at the window watching
the livery teams come and 60, he
thought that if he only had few
teams to rent, he could live without
selling papers. The more he thought
of the idea, the more his imagination
pictured the possibilities of such an en-
terprise.
At first Larry dismissed the idea of
owning livery stable, as the PROPOSE
ton was beyond his means to finance.
He thought of several other schemes,
but they also failed to materialize.
One day, after he had sold his papers
and was slowly vending his way to his
room, he stopped in front of a book
store watching the customers come
and 60. 1t was during the time that
"David Harum" was creating such a
furor among the book-reading world
Everybody that entered tie store
bought this particular book.
Larry was fascinated by the scene

turned, he still made fair profit on
each book he sold. Most people hesi-
tata to pay $1.25 or $1.5O for book
that tnoy never expect to IUUK ou u1Ucr
having read it. But when Larry made
1t possible for them to get THE book
of the year-the book that everybody
was talking about-for twenty-five
cents, they came, they bought, and
then returned them.
At first he had only twenty-five
"David Harum's" in stock. These
were rented the first few days. He
then put in ten more. These also were
exhausted. By this time, however, the
lot disposed of first were beginning to
return. He bought them in at seventy
five cents each as promised and imme.
diately found new customers for them.
On each book returned, Larry made
twenty-five cents net profit.
At the end of the first month he fig
ured up the profits on his venture, and
he was very much surprised at the sum
he realized. OF the "David Harum's"
alone, of which he had thirty-five, he
rented them out and bought them
back at least six times. This
amounted to a tidy sum, and he still
had most of the books with which to
repeat the sales.
Larry was very much pleased at his
good fortune, but he did not boast OF
it. He realized that if others were
aware of his success, he would soon
have competition to divide the profits
with, and that they would begin to cut
the percentage down to almost nothing.
So he kept on buying the very best
sellers. This he was able to do by occa-
sionally watching the large bookstores
and by reading the comments in the
papers. In this way he kept posted on
the popular demand; and when "The
Gentleman from Indiana" "Quo
Vadis," "Richard Carvel," and "In
His Steps," were the talk of the town,
he bought a large stock of them and
found little difficulty in disposing OF
them.

plified the English language. The
century was the age of
progress in this art. Emotional poems
began to appear. The best examples
are the poems of Robert Burns, and
Gray's Elegy. Thisswa the period
when Addison and Steel's Spectator"
appeared, Defoe's "Robinson Crusoe,"
Pope's poems and translations of the
"IIiad" and the Odyssey" Ben John
soE's works, Goldsmlth's contributions,
when Edmund Burke delivered his
speeches in Parliament in behalf of the
American colonists, when Gibbons
wrote his histories-all of their pro-
ductions, or nearly all, are in the
prison library. OF course, many other
well-known authors lived and wrote at
this period, but l mention only those
whose books have read.
In the nineteenth century many
creators OF masterpieces appeared and
introduced various changes in the art.
AS we are all more or less familiar
with masterpieces of this era it may he
proper to aliude to few of them. I
cannot agree with critics who con-
slider Scott's writings very excellent.
His "Lady of the Lake. was inflicted
on me while attending school, and the
impression then formed has not varied
much after further reading of his
works. 1t is the prose writings of this
era which receive the most attention
from readers. To one interested in
writing, Lambs works are cited as
good examples-examples of humor
and correct English. The English
dreamer was De Quincey-the Poe of
England. Carlyle's histories are, to
me, fine examples of heaviness. Eng
land has nrodncad sopn -naveiists
whose works are valuable offerings to
literature. Eminent among them are
Dickens and Bulwer. Thackeray is
considered as great novelist, but his
"Vanity Fair" and "The Newcomes"
satisfied me. Among the foreign
writer's is one who deserves mention
before considering Americans prog
ress in this art. He has touched the
springs of human feeling, and his nov
els are great addition to the worlds
greatest art The mere mention of his
name will suffice. 1 refer to. Victor
Hugo.
The histories of America inform us
that progress 10 writing was slow for a
few decades. The first person who
wrote on Americas shores was, sup
posedly, Captain John Smith. He
wrote book depicting his adventures
which was published in England
