$4,000 FOR A BOOK.
Early Edition Of Shakespeare Brought
Fancy Price.

Nearly quarter of century ago
John Loveday. well-known biblio-
phile of England, announced to the
literary world that, in examining a
dark corner OF his library, he found a
little brown volume hidden behind two
rows of books. He opened it, and saw
that the title of the first work in 1t
was poem by James Gresham, print
ed in 1926, on Cenci theme At first
he thought that the book had better
be put on the fire, but on turning over
few leaves he espied the title of the
second poem. THE Passionate Pill
CRIME; or Certain Amorous Sonnets
Between Venus and Adonis," being the
third edition, published by William
Jaggard in 1912. There were also "The
Mirror of Martyrs" 1901; The Kings
Prophetic; or. Weeping joy" Spen-
ser's "Britain's Ida," 1928; and John
Marston's THE Scourge of viIIanie, /"
1898.
The value Of teh little volume, how.
ever, lies in the Shakespearean poem,
and although this is of the third edi-
tion, it is believed that only one other
copy of that edition is extant-the
specimen in the Bodleian. The second
edition is apparently lost. OF the
first, two copies are known, one hav-
ing been found in a garret at Sir
Charles -Isham's house. For some time
many collectors have been angling for
this little volume, and now the book
has been sold for $4,000. It is almost
unnecessary to add that tho A,d hoe

Earnings of Noveiists.

Authors earn much less in France
than in England The late Sir Walter
Besant ten years ago estimated that
there were so novelists In England
who earned upward of thousand a
year. There are now probably nearer
a hundred and fifty; while in France
there are almost certainly not more
than so who make a living at all. An
English novelist of standing will re-
ceive eighteeEpence on every copy Of

two shillings. Emile Zola, who touched

pence. Seven pence halfpenny is
considered excellent pay, and four

MlrlOT LEDGE LIGHTHOUSE
The First One Was Swept Away with
It's Occupants.

The first lighthouse on Minot's ledge
was built in 1913. 1t was an octagonal
tower resting on the tops of eight
wrought iror piles eight inches in diam
eter and sixty feet high, with their
bases sunk five feet in the rock. These
piles were braced together in many
ways, and, as they offered less surface
to tue waves than solid structure, this
lighthouse was considered by all au-
thorities upon the subject to be excep-
tiOnally strong.
Its great test came in April, 1851. On
the 14th of that month, two keepers
being in the lighthouse, an easterly
gale set in, steadily Increasing in force.
People on shore, and no doubt the
keepers themselves, watched the heavy
seas sweep harmlessly through the net
work of piles beneath the house and
feared no harm. On the 18th, however,
the wind and sea had greatly increased
and the waves We're flung higher and
higher toward that tower in the air.
Yet all thought they surely could not
reach sixty feet above the ledge.
That night was one of keen anxiety,
for the gale still increased, and all
through that dreadful driving storm
and darkness the faithful keepers were
at their posts, for the light burned
brightly. On Wednesday, the 10th, the
gale had become hurricane, and when
at times the tower could be seen
through the mistS and sea drift it
seemed to bend to the shock of the
waves. AT o'clock that afternoon an
ominous proof of the fury of the waves
on MinOts ledge reached the shore,
q platform which had been built be-
tween the piles only seven feet below
the floor Of the keepers room. The
raging seas then were leaping fifty feet
in the air. Would they reach ten feet
higher, for if so the house and the
keepers We're doomed? Nevertheless
when darkness set in the light shone
out as brilliantly as ever. But the gale
seemed, il possible. then to increase
What agony those two men must have
suffered. How that dreadful abode
must have swayed in the irresistible
hurricane, and trembled at each crash
ing sea. The poor unfOrtunates must
have known that if those seas, leaping
always higher and higher, reached their
house it would be flung down into the
ocean and they would be buried with
it beneath the waves.
To those hopeless. terrified watchers
the entOmbing sea came at last At /
o'clock in the morning the lighthouse
bell was heard by those on shore to
give 4 mOurEful clang, and the light
was eXtinguished. 1t was the funeral
knell of two patient heroes
Next day there remained on the rock
only eight jagged iron stumpS.

They love Dante.

A magnificent upper chamber Of the
municipal palace Ghe PalazZO Necchio)
in Florence is set apart in memory of
the great poet Dante. To it each of the
siXty-nine provinces and all of the lar
ger cities and towns of united Italy
have contributed a banner in his hon
or. There are over 800 of these ban
ners in all, and the donors, in eager
emulation, have tried to make each Of
fering more beautiful than the others.
The banners are of the differing cOlors
of the provinces and bear their arms in
exquisite embroidery or in paintings
by the first living artists. The fervor
of the homage paid here to the immOr
tai Italian poet stirs the heart Of even
the passing stranger. Whatever the
jealOusies or estrangement of these
people, beside his tomb they are united.

he could do the farm work of boy Of

physique was thus remarkably devel-
