GENERAL CHARLES KINGS LIT
EIeARY "REMINISCENCES

General Charles King, the dis
tlnguished soldier author, has writ
ten his literary "reminiscences, COW
erlng the past three decades, for Lip
pincott's Magazine. They will be
published IN two instruments, the
first Of which appears in the October
issue. General King has depicted
the American soldier and army life
in general, with his pen as faithfully
as did the late Frederic Remington
with his brush. He began his ca.
reer as q writer when subaltcrn,
shortly after tho Civil War. Some
time later he was. retired for dsabil-
lty, owing to wound received in
action. but he emerged from his re-
tirement in 1898 to go to the Philip

out one definite idea in my head at

at the close, or their career in be-
tween times the characters were sent
OH their way, and the author chased
after as best he could. The only
romance or work / eyer began With

COlOneIs Daughter set q pace, so

last to lose it's hold on the reading
public. The Daughter has outsold,

"SiXteen months, | think, it ran
through the columns Of the United
Service. Campaigning With Crook
had netted me little over a mouths

for its payment, as originally offered
by the editors Of the magazine were
these: On it's completion as serial
the publishers would bring it 0tit in
q paper binding, to be sold at fifty
cents the copy, yielding me ten per
cent Of the wholesale price. In 9TH
er words, my share was to be three
cents on each copy sold, If it sold
a thousand copies in course or year
l might look for thirty dollars.
"But better fortune was in store
for it. The magazine was printed
for its publishers by the J. B. Lip
