NYE WAS WAY OFF.
How Humorists Were "Stung" in
Il. Business Venture. I
Aheedcte James Whiteomb Riley Used
to Tell, Dealing With the Wlles
Of the Publisher-Ali They y :
Got Was q Feed. ~

Among the many comical stories
told of James Whltcomb Rlley's expe-
riences with Nye was the history of a
book called "Nye and Rlley's Railway
Guide" which gave them broad per,
sonal and legal experience with pub.
fishers. From their first tour in 1880
their fancy ran riot with the idea of
a comic railway guide for just such
poor Inflated travellers as they them
selves proved to be, for the man. rs
they wrote in the introduction, "whG
enormously gets into car which ID
sidetracked and swept out and
scrubbed by people who take In carr
to scrub and laundry"
"Nye and l." Riley used to say
thought little book made from oui
readings might perhaps stanch long
felt public want. In fact, we grew en-,
thusiastic as our eyes swept the pros
pect. Nye, indeed, thought there was
money In it. l remember that, in his
optimism, he wrote: Let us make
some money, be gosh, and put It In our
inside pocket. 1t feels bully Riley
always chuckled reminiscently at this
point in the story.
"Well, we went to Chicago to look
for publisher, and there we found
one Ketchem & Skinnem who had
sign on the door. Drop MSS. Here
We dropped ours and went away feel
ing pretty good"
Riley then told of a long wait, dur.
ing which they wondered whether the
manuscript would be accepted; then
how glad they were to find the book
on sale at the news stands, and finally
how they paid visit to the publishers
to inquire timidly into the matter of
royalties. The door was locked. Some
months later in response to their let
tiers, came an invitation to a banquet
given by the publishers in their honor.
Hopefully they presented themselves.
"As we filed In to dinner Nye whls-
pered to me. Think they'll hand Us
checks with the cigarsi' Well, when
the cigars were passed at length the
publisher at the head OF the table
pushed back his chair, put his finger
tips on the cloth, beamed on us, and
said:
"'Gentlemen and publishers, we
have met to do honor to our two illus
trious humorists tonight In an un.
usual way. We appreciate their hu-
NOR, especially that which has made
our book so successful. And in token
Of our appreciation we now present to
them one hundred shares apiece In
our great company. Ahem--I believe
that is ALI
"It was all. Nye and l hoped at
first for the best, but neither of us
secretly could find any market for our
shares and the company never paid
any dividends before 1t went out Of
business."-Harper's Magazine.

tanned by their armies. For instance,
at the hour the armistice was signed,
the United States forces were holding
145 kilometers of front, Of which 1S4
kilometers were active. This>is made
plain on the map by the colored pins
and tags by which the different allied
and enemy armies are shown.

RUSSIA QUESTIONS
ALLIES FOOD PLAN
PEACE CONFERENCE RECEIVES
NOTE FROM NORTH RUS
STA ON PROPOSALS.
MAY AID THE BOLsHEvIKI
Fear 10 Expressed That Reds VIII
Override Entire Country II Al
lowed To Participate In Food
Distribution.

Paris.-The feeding OF the Russian
population is no solution of the Rus.
sian question, 1t Is declared in a mem.
orandum sent to the peace conference
by Prince Lvoff, Sergius Sazonoff and
President Tschaikowsky of the North
Russian government concerning the
proposal to feed soviet Russia through
Neutral countries on condition that the
Bolsheviki cease hostllities. The
memorandum says:
"The allies wish to assist the Rus
sian people and to reduce the starva-
tion brought by the Bolshevik re-
gime. This can not fail to awake
deep feelings of gratitude II is not
merely deed of humanity, but also
manifestation of the solidarity of
peoples.
Nevertheless the signers of this
declaration consider that the realiza-
ton of this generous thought will
have contrary result unless eff
ficient measures are taken to prevent
the Bolsheviki authorities from in
terfering with the revictualing of
Russia. To bring failure to this deed
of humanity would be of use only to
protectors Of the Bolshevik regime
and would help to prolong their DOM
nation.
"The task which the Russian ma
tional movement must fulfill is to
liberate Russia from the yoke OF those
who have reduced her to her present
state of impotence and to the neces-
sity of relying upon foreign countries
for her food. The feeding Of the
famished population is no solution Of
the Russian question. Consequently
the struggle to liberate Russia from
her oppressors and to give Russia a
government of her own choosing can
not be stopped for any reason what
ever. The signers Of this declaration
wish to state that Russia will pay
for the food provided for her but
they hope that the allies will refuse
to give the Bolshevik usurpers the
right to dispose OF Russia's patri-
mony."

it was approaching an agreement on
