You do not hear much about the
sale OF your book; your friends say
nothing about 1t. but perhaps they
are keeping it's phenomenal success n
secret from you. You live in the
country, and you never see the Book
man, so you do not know what the
six best sellers are, but you have
your suspicious. At last the fate
full day arrives, the familiar envelope
of your publisher comes to you by
mail, and as you open 1t check fiut.
ters out You remember the stories
of du Maurier and "Trilby," and how
his publishers sent him several thou
sands over and above the contract
agreement.
To be sure, 1t is only check. and
not money, but, after all, any bank
will convert a check into money IL
you are known, and your book has
doubtless made you known through
the wide world.
You pick up the check and close
your eyes until you are holding it
right in front of them. The Second
National bank of New York Pay to
the order of yourself $47.50. Harp,
Serb e. Co"
1t isn't quite what you. thought 1t
would be. The book is not one of
the six-yet Still, after the first dis
appointment is over, you reflect that
it is all clear gain, and you go to
the bank and have 1t converted into
new dollar bills, and then you go down
town to the bookstore and you buy
thirty odd books that you have wanted
for years.
No, you don't. You know very well
you don't, for the same mail that
brought the check brought it's antith-
esis in the form of bill from the
gentleman who raised the price of
beef on you, and the other gentleman
who charged you eight dollars a ton
for coal, and like a good little man
you sit down and you write out two
checks which take up AZ Of the dollars
But take my advice and get the bet
ter of fortune by taking the five-ffty
that is left-and your wife-and going
into town for a small jamboree. Re
member that jamboree, small though
1t be, remains In the memory long
after the memory of a paid bill has
left you.
Pay the bills, but save enough out
Of the cost of your clothes for little
jamboree. Clothes warm the body,
but jamborees warm the cookies OF
the heart, and man who neglects the
cookies of the heart to put Jaeger
underwear on his lusty limbs has
failed in his duty toward himself
and his better half.

One objection / have to royalties Is
that they always come in the form of

ten copies of the book at Christmas

in his favor. Do you know, really

BY the way, that receiving of roya.-

form, is a good game. You sell your

they are all printed, you are induced

THAT is just about what | expected

no denyin' of the fact that some of the
greatest men have been lawyers and
that the most of our presidents have
practiced law. And so have some of
the immortal geniuses been soldiers,
but If man had been just and peace
able there never would have been
any need for the soldier"
According to your view, then" said
the lawyer, there is no real need for
anybody that"

somebody that does. The only real
occupation is the one that makes the
world better. Understand. now,

I'm just expressin' my opinion and 1t
must be taken for what it is worth.
But the lawyer shows us one thing If
nothin more-how keen a mans mind
may be whetted. l recollect once that
a fellow sued me. We had snapped
horses"
And you had got the better of him,
eh?" said the lawyer.
We'll that's the way 1t looked to
him. The horse l let him have died

had never been under the care of a
doctor so far as | knew. His appetite

you motioned at him. l might have
seen him fall down-have seen men
fall, but l didn't think that they were
goin' to die. / told him child could
drive him. A child did drive him out
of the garden that day. Well, we
snapped, and, as | say, his horse was

with him is he don't know what he

his ignorance"

Practical Points.

The resurrection story teaches us
how ready is Christ to adapt himself
to varying human needs and condi-
tons.
The resurrection is food for our
faith.
The resurrection is an assurance of
more glorious things to come for
every child of God.
Let us keep in mind that the Lord
blesses those who have not seen and
yet have believed. They are blessed
to whom a wonder is not a fable, to
whom a mystery is not a mockery, 70
whom a glory is not an unreality.
