CONSCIENCE MONEY.
What the Old Time Publishers Paid
From q Sense OF Justice.

What the Old Time Publishers Paid
From . Sense Of Justice.
Some interesting details have been
given out lately as to the sums volun-
tarily paid to British novelists by
American publishers before the days of
International copyright. Any American
firm could reprint at once whatever is
sued from the English presses. but
some publishers arranged with British
authors for advance sheets Of forth
coming works. thus enabling them to
get the start of ''piratical' firms which
paid the author nothing. 1t Is interest
ing to observe the occasional disparity
between the merit Of the book and the
price paid. The whole thing was in
the nature of q leap in the dark. Often
the sun given by the American pub
Usher was really more than the Amer
lean rights would probably have been
worth had it been possible to secure
them by copyright. Thus Anthony
Trollope got $500 for "sir Harry Hot
spur" one Of his poorest Lovels; George
Eliot $500 for Daniel Deronda" and
Charles Reade 5000 for "a Woman
Halter" No publisher today would
pay any such sums for these books If
he were permitted to read them before
buying.
On the other hand, by way Of CON
parison, the very best books brought
their authors only trifling returns from
America. Charles Reade received only
$3.50 for Put Yourself In His Place."
$1,000 for Hard Cash." these being
two of his finest novels. and $1,000 for
Love Me Little. Love Me Long"
Thackeray got only $3.50 for 1.-The New
comes and $500 for Henry Esmond."
Trollope obtained from the Harpcrs
$125 for "The Bertrams." $3.50 for
"Castle Richmond" $500 for "Phineas
Finn" $3.50 for 1.-THE Eustace Dia-
monds," "Orley Farm" Lady Anna"
and "Ralph the Heir" The $500 for
his "Cicero'' is fully as much as any
American publisher would give today
for the copyright of such a book.
George Eliot received only $500 for
"Adam Bede" and $500 for "Silas Mar
ner." 1.-THE Mill on the Floss' brought
her $1,5OO.
Wilkie Collins and Dickens were the
most popular authors of the precopy-
right period, and they Jared best OF all
at the hands Of their authorized Amer
lean publishers. The former drew from
this country $1,S00 for THE Woman In
White" $3.50 each for "The Noon
ctono'p and HNfon ond Wifa'' and GO 0O0
for poor Miss Finch" To Dickens
the Harpers paid $1.25O for Little
Dorrit." $500 for Bleak House,"
$4,000 each for "Our Mutual Friend"
and "a Tale of Two Cities and $500
for "Great Expectations" this last rep
resenting the high water mark of such
voluntary payments.-Bookman.

The man who handles the local
department Of a newspaper, the
Sheldon Progress says, learns after
due experience not to expect even
briefly expressed thanks from a
column of pleasant things, but he
knoweth as .surly as cometh the
winter that a single line in which
there is an unintentional error
will cause some one to be heard
from as if from a house top. And
we may add that when he has
made pleasant mention 999 times
of some person, place or thing, but
on the thousandth time fails to do
so, he must not expect to be for
given. The omission may have
been by accident, inadvertence OF
even an entire lack of knowledge.
It matters not. The simple fact
remains and he will be judged by
that.

that on Saturday night, December
20, 1905, an attempt had been made
to kill him and his whole family.
He said several masked men drove
up in front of his place one and one
half miles east of Caldwell and dis
charged firearms into the house and
into a tent near the house, In which
some of his sons were sleeping. Mr..
Davis says he was awakened and got
up from his bed. He called his boys
into the house and ordered them and
his wife and the other children to
lay down upon the floor. As soon
as they did this he went for his gun,
which he instantly found. The gun
was not loaded, and he started to
hunt for ammunition. Not finding it
in the usual place he struck a match
when several shots were fired through
the windows. Davis loaded his gun
and went outside, but the men had
driven out of range This is his
story.
Story Improbable.
