Is happiness anything more
than a conventional fiction? The
deepest reason for my state OF
doubt is that the supreme end and
aim of life seems to me a mere
lure and deception. The individ-

never obtains what he seeks. and
who is forever deceived by hope.

Statesmen Real
and Near.
By Fred c. Kelly

In the entire country there are less
than 10 men who can turn out the
five and 1C-cent literature commonly
known as nickel libraries and dime
novels.
The moving pictures doubtless have
greatly decreased the demand for
these inexpensive brands of thrills.
but even at that there are scarcely
enough men trained to turn out the
"Old Sleuth" and Nick Carter" va
riety of reading matter to keep up
the supply that is still required. Re-
gardless of how much the movies en-
croach. the publishers of dime novels
say there will always be a consider
able demand for their goods. And
only about one-fourth of this de-
mand. by the way, is from messenger
boys and others of that age; the 9TH
er three-fOurths of the demand is
from freight brakemen, plumbers as
sistants paperhangers and other
grown men who work hard all day
and like to read something light and
diverting at night. And certainly il

Then there is the series of adven-
lures by "Old Sleuth." compeer OF
Nick Carter, who defies death weekly
in the pursuit of desperate evil-doers
for a rival publishing house.
The original "Old Sleuth' was Har-
Ian Page Halsey, who prior to his
death a few years ago, was, by Mayor
Lows appointment, a member of the
Brooklyn board of education. At the
time of a crusade against the yellow
back novel Halsey once defended his
work thus:
There is not single word in any
story that l have written that could
be objected to by the most rigid
moralist. All my stories have had a
good moral precept to teach, and L
will venture 20 say. out of the mass
OF matter that l have turned out. a
thick volume OF moral suasiOn' could
be extracted. The trouble lies in the
fact that a few bad writer's have
come into the ranks OF cheap itera-
ture and because of their misleading
work a blanket judgment is thrown
over us all. The objections are al
ways made by those who have not
read the works, but who get their
ideas from the comic papers"
Two "Old Sleuths" have tracked
erring humans since Halsey's death.
The man who has been "Old Sleuth"
most of the time since then also
writes boys books for a conservative
eastern publishing house. They are
the sort OF books that Sunday school
teachers give out as prizes 20 those
earnest young pupils who know the
golden text 80 consecutive Sundays.
