VALUE OF PUBLICITY.

Self Advertiser.
Curiously enough, the man who, in
my opinion. had the keenest intuition
Of the value of publicity and used it
to the greatest personal advantage,
when we consider his humble begin
nings and the limited sphere Of his en-
deavor, never really knew how to read
and write. knew him first as young
street urchin, making his living by
selling newspapers, blaclSing boots, run
ming errands and doing such odd jobs
as fell in his way, and it was chiefly
through selling newspapers, whose
headlines alone he was barely able to
decipher. that he gained that knowl-
edge Of what Park row calls news
values" which one finds in every train
ed and efficient city editor.
It was on the strength Of this knowl-
edge that this bootblack went one day
to a we'll known wholesaleliquor deal
er on the east side and proposed that he
should establish him in saloon on
lower Bowery. The liquor dealer was
aghast at his presumption until he
learned his scheme; then he capitulated
at once, and within few days the pa
pers had been signed and twenty-four
hours option secured on rickety and.
from nearly every imaginable point Of
view, undesirable premises near Canal
street and directly under the noisiest
and dustiest and oiliest part Of the ele-
vated railroad. This done, the boot
black made his way to the very center
Of the Brooklyn bridge, climbed hastily
to the top Of the parapet and, needless

onlookers and the swift rush of pant
Ing cop, dropped into the seething wa
ters below.
It was an unknown youth With an
earning capacity Of few dollars a
week who disappeared beneath the sur
face Of the East river, but it was an
enterprising young man, an east side
celebrity, in fact, all ready for the di-
vine oil of publicity and with an as
sured income and possible fortune In
his grasp, whose nose reappeared very
shortly above the muddy surface Of
the water and who was helped by will
ing and ohicious hands into rowboat,
where dry clothing awaited him, to-
gether with hearty congratulations Oh
the fact that he alone, Of all those who
had attempted to jump the bridge. had
escaped with his life. The next day
the name of Steve Brodie was flashed
from one end of the country to the 9th
er, and within very few hours after
his discharge from custody-he was
arrested on the charge Of trying to
take his own life-he was standing be-
hind his own bar, serving drinks to
the crowds who came to cape at Steve

their money into his coffers.-James L.

UNFINISHED BOOKS.
Authors Who Died Leaving Stories

Authors Who Died Leaving Stories
Partly Written.
Many writer's, including the famous
Ouida, have died leaving behind
them unfinished books. One of the
best known is, Of course, Dickens
1.-THE Mystery Of Edwin Drood,' re-
markably clever story, and one show
ing no signs Of diminishing vitality,
although he was actually at work
upon it up to within a few hours OF
his death
Dickens great rival, Thackeray,
again, left behind him not one only,
but two unfinished stories. One of
these, "Denis Duval," promised to
rank with his best work. Unfortunate
ly, however, he had completed only
seven chapters when he was stricken
down. /
Scott, too, left tale unended-"The
Siege Of Malta"-written while he was
on his last futile journey in search OF
health. This work has never been
published, although more than two
thirds Of it was completed at the time
Of his death.
Then there was "St Ives," left un-
finished by R. L. Stevenson, as was
"Zeph," by Helen Jackson, and
Blind Love-" by Wilkie Collins. Buc-
kle never completed his History OF
Civilization" although he toled at 1t
for twenty years.
Among famous poems that were
never completed mention may be made
Of Byron's don Juan," Keats "Hy-
perion," Coleridge's "Christabe" and
Grays "Agrippina." Spensers "Faerle
Queene," too. is no more than a frag'
ment, although a colossal one.
Lastly, there ought to be included
Ben Jonson's beautiful. unfinished pas
toral, ''The Sad Shepherd" found by
his literary executors among his pa
pers after his death and published IN
tts ncompleteness.-Pea Weekly.

HALF THE COUNTRY
PROHIBITION.
Forty Million People Living in Places
Where Saloons Are Forbidden
Number Swelling Daily.

Number Swelling Daily.
Nearly forty million people in the
United States now live in 'prohibi-
tion territory" At first glance the
above statement, made by DR.. P. A.
Baker, general superintendent of the
Anti-Saloon League, at Denver, Col.,
may seem extravagant, but DIR. Baker
says it is based upon accurate figures
compiled in the league departments,
and that the number is swelling daily.
Few people realize that the temper
ance wave has swept over the coun-
try in the last few years with such
persistent vigor that now nearly one
half the population of the United
States is situated in territory where
the saloon is forbidden.
'.The temperance people of this
country have been closing saloons in
the United States at the rate of thirty
day during the year 1905" said DR..
Baker, "and I believe that it will con-
tine at that rate during the rest OF
the year. About eight million people
abolished saloons last year, and I am
confident that this year those figures
will be duplicated. It is not fully
realized by the general public that the
temperance movement has been 80
universally successful as it has.
''Partly by state abolition of saloons
and to greater degree by local op-
tion the prohibition territory of the
United States has been increased until
there are now 10000, 900 people living
in places where the saloon is forbid
den. Eight states are in the prohibi-
ton list and we hope to put more
there. Last spring people Lying in
the State of Illinois abolished 1900
saloons in one day.
''The Anti-Saloon League is not in
terested in partisan politics. We have
nothing directly to do with the prohi-
bition party. Our work is carried on
by the members of all parties. We
have political department., but it is
not concerned with the partisan side
of politics.
81 have just reached here after
trip to Salt Lake City and otherplaces
in the West. I find conditions there
excellent in our cause. In Wyoming,
Idaho aud Utah they are working for
law that will provide for county
local option and are seeking to elect
men to the legislatures who will
pledge themselves to the passage of
such a measure. The Mormons are in
favor of the county local option move
ment and are working diligently for
it. The authorities of the Mormon
church are cooperating splendidly in
this work and we are securing good
organization all through the country"

They had given their order and were
