VALUE OF PUBLICITY.
Steve srodie, the Bridge Jumper, as
Self Advertiser.


Curiously enough the man who. In
my opinion. had the keenest intuition
Of the value of publicity and used II
10 the greatest personal advantage,
when we consider his humble begin

deavor. never really knew how TO read
and write. knew him first as young
street urchin, making his living by
selling newspapers, backing boots. run

as fell in his way, and ii was chiefly
through selling newspapers, whose
headlines alone he was barely able 10

edge Of what Park row calls news

Ell and efficient city editor.
Ii was on the strength Of this knowl-
edge that this bootblack went one day
TO we'll known wholesale liquor deal
er on the east side and proposed that he
should establish him in n 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-
waited railroad. This done, the boot
black made his way TO the very center
Of the Brooklyn bridge, climbed hastily
10 the top OF the parapet and, needless

onlookers and the swift rush of pant

UNFINISHED BOOKS.
Authors Who Died Leaving Stories
Partly Written.

Many writer's, including the famous
Oulda, have died leaving behind
them unfinished books. One OF the
best known is, of course, Dickens
"The Mystery of Edwin Brood" a re-
markably clever story, and one show
ing no signs of diminishing vitality,
although be 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 Duyal," 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 1t 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
"Bllnd Love" by Wilkie Collins. Buc-
kle never completed his History of
Civilization" although he toiled at 1t
for twenty years.
Among famous poems that were
never completed mention may be made
of Byron's Don Juan" Keats "Hy-
peron,' Coleridge's "Christabel" and
Gray's "Agrlpplna." Spenser's "Fserie
Queene," too, is no more than frag.
ment, although n 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
It's observation-disclosures Weekly.
