EVENING CHAT
BY RUTH CAMERON.

| Lives there a person in the land over
| q years of age who has not, at some
period of his life, sent some product
of his fertile brain to the magazines
and newspa pers2
Truly. judging by the number of peo-
pie who write to ask me about the rules
of this game, doubt it.
What class of work do editors want
the most?"
How should the manuscripts be ar
What are the best magazines to
send tor"
What is the remuneration?''
DO you have to have story copy
righted before you send it?''
when do magazines pay for work
on acceptance or publication"
These are some of the most common
of the forty-leven questions that the ris-
ing crop of WOuld-be authors ask me,
and since there seems to be such
general interest in the subject, l am
going to answer them to the best OF
my ability in my space today, instead
replying to each query personally
The largest literary demand of the
present day, I am told, is for clever
short stories of from 1000 to 5000
words, especially love stories Inter
esting articles on any topic of timely
interest come next in STABILITY Poetry,
especially by unknown authors, is ex-
tremely difficult-almost impossible to
sell Some magazines actually have
their poetry supplied gratis by people
who consider the joy of seeing it ac-
tua1ly printed sufficient remuneration.
The conventional methods of arrang-
inc manuscript is something everyone
who is trying to break into this
game ought to understand. In the first
place. have your work typewriter If
you possibly can. That makes it that
much the clearer, and anything which
is clear and doesn't have to be puzzled
over, is much more apt to be appre-
ciated and accepted If you can't have
your work typewriter, write it as
1egibly as possible Never write on
both sides of the paper If written,
have the lines wide apart; if typewrit-
ten, use double spacing.
Write the title on the middle of the
first page a few inches from the top.
Above it in the right hand corner, your
full name and address-in the left
hand corner, it is well to put the num-
Der of words If you want the manu-
script returned, enclose stamps If you
write a letter to the editor, make It
very short, simply stating that You
offer the enclosed manuscript to him
and that If 1t is not accepted you would
like it returned.
Write on small sheets of paper. Never
roll your manuscript, but fold the
sheets once or lay flat on cardboard
and send in a large envelope.
AS to what are the best magazines
to which to send your work; I cannot
be definite as circumstances alter
cases. That depends wholly on he
azines you can get hold of and try to
decide which style your own work ap-
proximates the most closely.
Some people send their work to story
brokers, who, understanding the de-
mands of the various magazines, try to
The Topeka state journal., 1911-09-25

dispose of the work for them, and also
criticise it.
Remuneration is a subject on which
volumes could be written. Rudyard
k1p1ng, they say, gets dollar word.
Some small magazines and city news
papers pay three or four dollars
thousand words, and country papers
sometimes pay a dollar or two for the
same amount. Somewhere, between
these two extremes, is the remunera-
ton for the rest of US. Fifteen or
twenty dollars a thousand words is a,
reasonable price for a story by an un-
known author, while writer's of reputa-
ton, such as Elinor Hallowen Abbot,
get $500 or $1,000 for a story of ordinary
length.
You do not have to have story copy
righted before you send it.
AS to the time of pay,-a few maga-
zines pay on acceptance. many more
when the article is published. Incl
dentally, you must remember that most
magazines are made up a year ahead.
and the story accepted today may not
appear for a year or two. Other maga-
zines have stated times, such as once
a month or once a quarter when they
settle all their literary bills.
There, I hope these few suggestions
will smooth the path to fame and for
tune Of many rising authors and au-
thoresses.

UNCLE CAL GOOD REASONER
Fired Question at Camp Fire Astron.
omer That Probably Was
Hard to Answer.

The late George Cary Eggleston
was in the Confederate army" said a
New York editor, and. as Memorial
day approached, he would narrate at
the Authors club many a memory Of
war times
II liked to hear his yarns about
the child.like minds of slaves. He
once told me, for example, about a
grizzled slave named Uncle Cal, body
servant TO his colonel.
"As Eggleston sat before camp
fire one coolish autumn evening,
watching Uncle Cal mend the colo
nels coat, the crimson and gold glory
Of the autumn sunset turned the talk
to astronomy, and Eggleston said;
"'You see, Uncle Cal, the world is
round. like an apple. and 1t goes
round, too-round and round It goes
all the time
"'llit's round an hit goes round,
said Uncle Cal, skeptically But what
! want to know is, what holds IL up?
why, you see, Uncle Cal said
Eggleston, the world goes round the
sun, and the sun holds II up-by at
traction, you know
Uncle CO glanced from his coat
mending to Eggleston with a patron
izing smile.
Honey, he said, All reckon 20
hain't gone far 'nough in you reason

rect, what would keep de world VI
when the sun went down? Answer

new CHANGE
IN SYSTEM
DIsPATcHlNo is TO
BE MADE EASIER

The work of train dispatching. one
OF the most exacting in the whole field
of railroad management, is to be made
much easier for the dispatchers oil
the Southern Pacific Company. Or
several entire divisions and on parts
of other divisions the work has al
ready been lightened to a considerable
extent The strain that the dispatch
ers usually work under is being and
will be alleviated by the use of the
telephone for train dispatching.
The old method of using the tele
graph key for all dspatching has been
found too slow. Where 1t frequently
required considerable time to trans
init train orders by telegraph, com.
paratively short time is now required.
BY system of repeating all messages
and writing them down as they are
sent and delivered, the operator and
dispatcher are able to keep even a
hioiS Soiipiett IttOIu vi all tHdl lTdHS-
pires than If using the telegraph.
Practically the only difference between
the two systems is that the telephone
urges direct conversation and the
telegraph only written words trans.
mitted by the comparatively slow
Morse alphabet With the telephone
the dispatcher gets in closer personal
touch with every man on the road
through the use of that instrument
than he ever was able to do with the
telegraph
At the present time telephone dis
patching is in operation between Sal
mas and Santa Barbara on the Coast
Division of the Southern Pacific lines:
over the entire Shasta division; on
the Sunset, the Sunset and Western
and the McKittrick branches. aud will
soon he established between Sacra.
mento and Sparks Exchanges are
being established and any operator on
the line need only take down his re
ceiver and pronounce the name of his
station to secure the immediate at
tention of the dispatcher. The dis.
patcher has full control over the line
and no operator is allowed to call up
another station. The dispatcher will,
do the calling for him II business re.
quires it, 1t is only a question of
time until the telegraph will serve
only as an emergency service on the
Southern Pacific lines. Another ad-
vantage ofthe telephone sys.
TEN is the simplicity it being possible
for any member of train crew to
tap telephone wire and tell of a
train wreck, while it requires an ex-
pert to tap telegraph line.

And you will see just how stand

Or spatter around on the plates and
