A writer of cheap fiction relates a
trick played on him By collaboration
in the days when dime novels were
longer than they are now. and tho
compensation made it worth while for
two men to write one story between
them. After his partner bad finished
the first chapter of their initial col.
laboration it was handed over with
the following announcements:
There. I've just thrown the hero
over a thousand foot cliff aud told the,
reader that nothing could prevent the
lad from falling TO death on the rocks
below. 1t is up to you TO save the
boy"
The other writer said nothing. but
sat down aud wrote furiously for an
hour Then be quietly handed the
manuscript back. glance at the
second chapter showed the funny man
that his friend had completely ignored
the events in the first part of the
story. introduced a new set of char
acters and left the hero still hanging
over the cliff. waiting to be rescued
by his creator.-New York Sun.

LOWER COPPER PRICES
AS A REMEDY.

Some authorities on copper metal
are not only asserting that copper
viii yet be sold under y cents, but
hat il would be a good thing for the
industry. The reasons given for this
view are rather interesting. It is
pointed out that so far consumption
Of the me al has made practically no
progress toward reducing the worlds
surplus OF copper. which is given at
375.0o0o0o pounds. The annual pro
duction Of copper is L400, 100000
pounds and os this amount about 80
per cent is produced at a cost OF be-
tween 1e and II cents, while II per
CEN costs over Il cents to produce.
Here is a total Of 715,OOO.oOo pounds
production annually that is figured
would be eliminated in case the price
falls under u cents. or even to u
cents. and it is reasoned that The
worlds surplus would be wiped out in
short order. thus creating a condi-
ton that would raise the price to Il
or Is cents.
If this is the only way to estab-
fish fair and reasonable price for
both producer and consumer, thea
the metal must go still lower before
It goes higher But it may be that
even this would not prove as erfec-
i've as supposed. because It is IN
many cases cheaper 70 operate a big

element Of uncertainty as TO effect.

but they won't do it. The conclusion

William Jennings Bryan was We'd
nesday one Of he presidential Wis
itors and was alone with the presi-
dent for an hour. during which the
two distinguished Americans ex-
changed fluctuations and reminis-
cences. II is said that both con-
graduated one another on how well
they were looking. The incident will
have no further significance than to
call affection to the fact that there is
yet doubt if Taft will be better of
at the end OF his term because Of his
defeat of Bryan for the presidency.
Present indications are not favorable
to a successful administration OF the
man who defeated Bryan.
