Philip Lppert, of Hastings, was
accidentally shot in the right arm late
Sunday afternoon while out hunting.
Almost the entire charge from a shot
gun penetrated his arm about three
inches below the arm pit. Much of
the flesh was torn away and an ugly
wound inflicted, but as the bone was
not broken 1t is thought that ampu-
tation will not be necessary

In a Fit of Dependency He Takes an
Overdose of Morphine

A Keystone special says: For the
second time in the past six months, an
old timer and prospector of this sec
tion has died by his own hand. The
second victim was James Scott well
known as Jim" Scott throughout the
southern Hills.
He had been in keystone for a num-
Der of days, having deal on con-
corning some mining ground in which
he was interested, but went down to
Hayward and in a fit of dependency
ended his life by taking large dose
OF morphine. Assistance came too
late. He had been a resident of the
Hills for the past twenty-five years.

the veterans are getting we'll along in

stories are all alike in some partic-
ulars. There are always villains and
heroes and an exciting series of
events that lead to the announcement
of the bad ones and the rewarding of
the uprigh characters. Sometimes,
there is a girl in the story, but a tale
without a spark of love in it and
never a mention of a female has as
good chance of success as one brim-
ming with sentiment.
"Publishers like to have writers
upon whom they can depend, and who
can produce just the kind. of stories
that may be wanted at a particular
time. A man or woman who can be
looked to for a certain amount OF
good exciting literature every month
rarely has anything rejected If a
tale now and then should not come
quite up to the mark it is accepted
because Of what the writer has done
and can do. Much Of the work is
done on orders. Something of great
.human interest will occur, like the
Spanish-AmeTican war, the Chinese
war, the recent struggle between Rus
STA and Japan, or the sinking of a
great steamer No one knows how
long such an event will hold first
place Oh the pages of the pages of
the daily newspaper, so the dime nov
ell publisher must get stories bearing
upon these matters out before the
public interest centers on something
else. AS soon as the publisher con-
ceives the idea that a certain event
ought to be the basis Of novel or
two, he communicates his wishes to
three or four of his readiest writers,
who will be urged to make all posi-
bic haste.
"Some of these workers are en-
gagged through the day and must do
their writing at night. With seem
ing rare intuition they grasp their
employers idea, evolve a plot, group
about it number of thrilling expert
ences, and at the first opportunity
seat themselves at a desk or in front
Of typewriter and go to work. The
first sentence in these stories is oft
en- the beginning of a conversation
which will hold the readers attention
or else terse vigorous description
of some event that takes the reader
right into the story. From the very
start the writer plunges into the tale
Situation follows situation. The

AMERICAN MILLIONAIRE NOW
REGARDED AS RIVAL OF
ANDREW CARNEGIE.
SENDS AGENTS BROADCAST
American Consul at Constantinople
Making Hard Pull for Trade
Chamberlain Victory.

London, Jan. 21.-The friends of
W. W. Astor state that his purchase
and extensive restoration of Hever
castle in Kent is merely the first step
in castle-buying campaign on an
unprecedented scale. Mr.. Astor is
said to have agents throughout the
United ingdom looking out for half
ruined castles, which he intends to
buy and eventually restore to their
original condition. Already Mr..
Aston has been humorously dubbed
the Castle King and hailed as a rival
to Mr.. Andrew Carnegie.
A dispatch from Constantinople
says that since the arrival there of
the present energetic American con-
sul-general, there has been an extra
ordinary activity in and promotion of
American trade to the detriment of
British and other interests. The
organization by the American con-
sulor agent of exhibitions of Ameri-
can products and the fact that he is
even selling large quantities of agri-
cultural machinery cause the leading
British firms to deplore the inefficien-
cy of the organization Of the British
consulor system.
Mr.. Chamberlain S sweeping vic
tory in Birmingham merely empha-
sizes, aud with dramatic force, the
construction placed upon the election
result in these dispatches. Tt
wrines from his bitterest opponents
a generous. though rather awesome
tribute with the explanation that Bir-
mingham is merely a personal Incl
dent in a national issue. 1t is more
than that, not only did Birmingham
vote for Mr.. Chamberlain, but in no
other constituencies were the issues
so clearly defined, and elsewhere the
result would have been similar but
for such factors as Chinese labor and
the incompetency of the late Cabi-
net.
What birmingham did yesterday,
the other great cities of Great Brit
ain are likely to be doing within five
years, and the continued tide Of Lib
eral success can no more be claimed
as a detrimentative victory for free
trade than the recent anti-graft vic
tories could be claimed as a victory
for protection as against free trade.

Depew would receive from a Senate
