PKINCE YANG HO PAK

COREA'S FUGITIVE MINISTER OF THE INTERIOR .OW IX AMERICA. Sought Asylum In Japan, but AVnn Advised to Leave that Country Thousands of Lives 'Lost. VICTORIA. British Columbia. Aug. 14. Prince Yang Ho Pak, the refugee Corean Minister of the Interior, who fled from Seoul a month ago to avoid arrest at the Instigation of the Queen, has arrived on the steamer Empress of Japan, which left Yokohama on the 2d Inst. The . Prince sought an asylum in Japan, but an attempt was to have been made to cause his arrest on the charge of plotting against the life of the Queen,; and to prevent any complications he was advised to leave. The United States he regarded as the best asylum and to that country he is now on his way. He pretended to know no English when a reporter approached him and later when an interpreter had been provided did not care to talk, merely saying: "I am an exile from my country and am going to the United States after a stay of two weeks in Japan. How long I will remain In the United States I cannot say. I am unjustly forced ' out of Corea. but what the future will bring forth no one can say." Prince Pak. is about forty, small, tut has an intellectual face. This Is his second exile, having returned to Corea a year ago, Aug. 2, after ten years in Japan. Advices, from Yokohama say that many d'sasters caused by the storm of July 25 are reported from tie south and west of Japan. One thousand fishermen of the single province of Satsuma arc known to have been drowned. Three steamships were driven ashore and few of their crews and passengers escaped alive. Accidents have been numerous, in consequence of the heavy floods and several villages on the scacoast have been literally destroyed. The list of deaths, as stated by the authorities, will exceed -tHree thousand. The number of deaths reported in the railway accident of July 25 was greatly exaggerated. Only sixteen soldiers were killed and eighteen were more or less seriously injured. The statement that the train wn blown bodily ofT the track into tne &ca is d scredlted. It is believed that some of the rails were displaced by the waves, wnlc.i were ariven -,by the tempest to a great height .and that, the cars consequently ran over the edge cf the embankment and were plunged into the deep water. Tne effects of the storm were disastious In all south we-1 provinces of Japan. Chinese oihclals in 1'eidng are unable to resist the temptation to show their spite toward Japan and a disagreeable part, of tne new Japanese envoy's duties Is to call them to account when they become offensive. Tha Tsung LlYamen has twice keen ooliged to apologize to Mr. Hayashl lor tho publication 'of the objectionable epithet "wojen" in the Official Gazette, in which the JaransB people : were spoken of as Insular barbarians. Since the purcnase or an iron-clad stone wall forty years 'ago the Japanese have not looked to the United States, for additions to their navy, but It is now proposed to invite estimates from America a3 well as European ship , builders for the new vessels required. Attention of the Navy Department has been directed to the remarkable improvements in the American men-of-war. and Commander Badger, the naval attache to the United States legat!on, Is prepared to show that ships above three tnousand tons can be produced at least as cheaply In the United '.States as in any other country, completely armed and armored. The builders .will guarantee the highest results of modern manufacture ana will supply designs to execute any plans however Intricate that may be submitted. Proposals to purchase ships from America Is cordially approved by all classes of Japanese as one means of testifying the gratitude of the people for the kindly Interest displayed by official representatives of the great republic during the recent war and at 00 ( previous, time has intercourse between Japanese,land Americans been so friendly as now. Officers of the United States- vessels stationed at Yokohama are constantly receiving hospitable courtesies from military and naval authorities of the empire chiefly In commemoration of the heartv welcome civen 'by the Petrel to tho Japanese soldiers at Ylng-Kow last winter. At a banquet orfered by Marshal Nodzu to Admiral Carpenter ahd his subordinates the marshal declared that the incident. would never be forgotten, but would lastingly remind the Japanese of their Indebtedness to their friends who stood by them while others held aloof. . . Sir Ernest Sato, the British minister, arrived In Japan July 29. He formerly eerved as Japanese secretary in the English 'egation at Toklo and was distinguished as having more thoroughly mastered the Japanese language than any other foreigner. Hong Kong newspapers assert that a plot for the violent overthrow of the Hawaiian government has been detected In that colony. Twenty or more Americans are said to be Implicated and four of the number are accused of secretly manufacturing dynamite bombs in a small village near Canton. It 13 alleged evidence has been discovered showing that the government offices at Honolulu would be destroyed with these bombs. The police of Hong Kong are diligently Inquiring Into the affair, but none of the suspected parties has been arrested. . . ' : All ships arriving, at Japanese ports from Corea or Formosa, where cholera prevails, are now subjected to an examination by the quarantine authorities and in case of need are disinfected. The battleship Chen. Yuen captured at Wei-Hai-Wel by Japanese has been brought to the naval station at Yokosuga. near Yokohama, and will be Inspected by the Emperor. Count Ito Pacified. TOKIO, Aug. 14. By imperial command Count Ito. the Premier, has resumed his duties. He accepts elevation to the title of Marquis offered J him' by the emperor. A rupture Is thus averted, but the personal relations of -certain members are greatly, strained. rj CARPENTER AT CHE-FOO. The Admiral and Ills Flagship Now In Chinese AVnters. WASHINGTON. Aug. 14. No. confirmation has been received as yet at the State Department of the appointment of a commission at Foo-Chow to visit the scene of the) recent riots at Ku-Cheng, though Min ister Denby has advised the department that the appointment of such a commission .was under consideration, and it was known that it would be composed of Americans and Englishmen. The press reports on the subject, therefore, are accepted as accurate and earlier than official advices. No surprise is expressed that the Chinese government refused to allow an sxrmed escort of foreigners, as such an escort would not have been permitted In either Great Britain or the United States, and would have Indicated that China felt ynable to protect the foreigners who were on a diplomatic mission, and also that China was unable to punish the offenders in the recent riots. t A cable was received at the Navy Department to-day announcing the arrival of Admiral Carpenter at . Che-Foo with the flagship Baltimore. He had not been able to communicate with Minister Dtrnby. but it is expected he will do so during the day. Acting Secretary McAdoo raid that it was expected an officer of the navy would bo a member of the Ku-Cheng commission If the civil authorities so requested. Consul Sheridan T. Read, at 1 ien-Tsin, cabled the State Department to-day that cholera had broken out at Tien-Tsin and Che-Foo. - A Russian SnpnceMlou. ST. PETERSBURG. Aug. 14. The No'03t3 recommends that Russia. France and Germany unite with the United States and Great Britain with the view of obtaining satisfaction for the outrages committed by the Chinese on the different missions, and in order to obtain substantial .guarantees against a repetition cf these occurrences. Something; Xev In Bicycle Tires. New York Ledger. A leather tire Is the latest Improvement in this Important vehicle. It Is said that leather Is more darable and in every way more satisfactory than rubber, and will, before long, entirely supersede the latter material. By a new process, leather Is to be trade thoroughly waterproof. Is quite as elastic and much less likely to be cut and punctured than rubber. Another improvement In bicycle tire is the autom. c inflator. By a very simple device, the tire may be set a: a standard and pumps itself full of air as the rider proceeds. From the ordinary valve clear through the tire to the outside there is a rod, with a pad on the end. which Just touches the inside of

the periphery of the rubber tire When the wheel revolves so as to press against this cushion, it moves in with the usual pumping process, forcing the air Into the tube. When the pressure is relaxed, as the wheel turns away from that side, the rod springs back and remains so until the wheel again turns to this point. It is an excseilngly simple and practical Invention, and saves a great deal of pumping, which must always be done when one has the least time to spare. CROPS IX NEBRASKA.

Good Yield of Wheat and Oats and Heavy Yield of Corn Promised. M'COOK, Neb., Aug. 14.-On crossing the Missouri river and running to Lincoln, the Burlington's land agents party found a prospect which, from an agricultural standpoint cannot be excelled. Corn Is luxuriant and sturdy and every stalk shows large ears. It is so far advanced that the uninitiated could be made to believe that it is past all harm. Notwithstanding its fine appearance it is not yet out of danger of frost and will not be for at least two weeks to come. A fine crop of oats has been reaped in this section. Much of it Is still in the shock and a good deal of It has been stacked. It is threshing out from thirty to fifty bushls to the acre and will average about forty. The wheat crop has all been harvested and farmers are now busy plowing their land preparatory to putting in another crop of winter wheat. Leaving Lincoln the outlook is much less promising. Between Waverly and Falrr mount, a distance of sixty miles, is a stretch of country which has usually been described as the garden spot of Nebraska. This portion has suffered severely this year. For a stretch of sixty miles long and sixty miles wide the from crop is a complete failure. Oats have not fared so badly. They are threshing out from thirty-five to forty bushels an acre. Wheat in this section is threshing out fifteen bushels to the acre. West of Fairmont the scene again changes and an ocean of waving corn, strong and luxuriant, is to be seen far as the eye can reach in every direction. The crop from Hastings to the western boundary of the State is practically made, and nothing but a killing frost can now blight It. It will average not less than sixty bushels to the acre. Alfalfa is a new crop here with which the people are delighted. All kinds of live stock eat it with relish and it is proving to be a fattening fodder. THE FLOUR OUTPUT.

The Northwestern Miller says: At Minneapolis the water power 13 considerably better, and the output this week approximated 240,XX) barrels. The sales of flour last week approximated 240,000 barrels. With some firms export business considerably overshadowed domestic and patent was mostly worked. The bulk of it was for the United Kingdom. Low prices had to be accepted. There was no snap about the domestic trade. Patents 5 cents or more lower. The bulk of feed, particularly bran, is 50 cents to 75 cents a ton lower and moves less freely. - Export s of flour were 6,180 barrels, against ou,70 barrels the week befcre. A.l the Duluth and West Superior mills save one are going this week and increase in the output is looked for. Lower wheat rrads flour less active. On both export and domestic lower prices were quoted, 'the stocks of flour at the mills and in transit was 28J.C00 tarrels, against 197.0CJ barrels the week before. The export shipments were 10,140 tarrels, against 14,(r0 fcaire s the rrevious week.. Last week was a dull one with the Milwaukee millers, especially as to the exp:rt, but they hope for better conditions Eoon. They are having less difficulty about obtaining needed grades of wheat. A larga part cf last week's output was for home storage for the use of the mills while idle for repai-s. Orders were taken for perhaps half of the production. Feed is easier and the mills are catching up on old contracts. aSHSSBBBSMSlSBSBlSSSMBSBBSSBSSSSSSSBHSMSBSMSBSSSSBB VEGETARIANS ACTIVE. Their Fad Encouraged by the High - Prices of Meats. New York Mall and Express. ' . It was some cler New York editor last spring who called attention to the fact that tho sudden rise in the price of meats was a good thing for vegetarianism. Hi3 prophecies have been fulfilled to the letter In the past four months. Great Britain gets more than one-half of its daily meat from this country, and takes Its prices entirely from New York and Chicago. The rise in prices, which amounted to anywhere from 10 to 25 per cent., compelled many housekeepers to readjust their dally bills of fare, and in so doing drove quite a number Into vegitarianlsm or semlvegetarlanlsm, who up to that time had never given the subject a particle of consideration. One result of the movement was to bestow considerable attention upon dietetics. One of the first objections made by new converts was to what they termed the lack of solid food. This co'nplalnt, when analyzed, was found to mean that their systems, palate or body, whatever it might have been, missed the nitrogenous elements which form the main portion of all meats, and which in general form an Insignificant part of ordinary vegetable food. The London leaders, in .endeavoring to meet with the desires of their new-found converts, gave the matter .ample thought, and finally were compelled to adopt some of the methods employed by the people in the far East. Out there the problem was worked over for ages In the past, and was finally solved in the most satisfactory manner. They ascertained In a rule of thumb insnner that there had to be nitrogenous elements in food, and soon were able to supplj' them. They cultivated rice until they produced not only the ordinary kind, such as we use, but also a very glutinous kind, which is so rich In nitrogen that It Is almost as good as beef or mutton. They also found that they could, separate the gluten and rice, wheat, millet, beans peas and pulse, dry It Into sticks, threads or other portable forms, and use it either as a food material alone or else as the ingredient- in . mixed dishes. The London school has not gone as far as the Oriental peoples, but is moving in their footsteps. They now produce a maccaronl and spaghetti which are so rich in nitrogen that they serve as almost perfect substitutes for flesh of every kind. They also nave paid attention "to the culture of beans, and have now varieties of the broad bean, kidney bean and black Spanish bean, which contain nearly 50 per cent, more of gluten than the average bean In the market. This work has popularized their dietary and made it enjoyable to hundreds of people who heretofore have found It a trifle cloying. The movement In this country is behind that in Great Britain, but is still a large amount of work. In this city we have a New York Vegetarian Society; In Chicago there Is a movement headed by Frances L. Dusenberry. a very clever literary woman of that city; in Washington there is a large circle of earnest vegetarians, led by Adelaide Johnson, and in Philadelphia and Boston there are similar groups.

A J0UUNAL1ST1C HACK CONFESSIONS OF A 3IAX WHO MAKES HIS LIVING BY WRITING. A Profession Which Does Not Offer Much to Its Follower Warning to You n jr Would-Ile Writers. New York Evening Post. Contrary to the expectations of the author, "The Confessions of a Literary Hack." in the July Forum, will undoubtedly have the effect of attracting many people to a profession greatly overcrowded, and of renewing hope in the breasts of beginners who have already experienced some of the disappointments of a writer's work. The conclusions of the writer that his life has been a failure, financially and otherwise, will not Impress enthusiastic beginners In the field cf journalism and literature very forcibly. With the alluring prospects of an average salary of $5,000 a year for writing articles, stories and poems for the magazines and newspapers, hundreds of moderately gifted "hack writers" would abandon all other pursuits to enter upon a life-long service in the field of literature. It is unfortunate that the successful writer who averages annually the salary paid to Congressmen should look upon his career as a failure. He can rest assured that he does not represent the average "hack;" cn the contray, the majority must be content with less than half the income he thinks so small. I am thirty , years of age, and have worked ten years In New York as "a Journalist hack." I do not say "a literary hack," for I am not entitled to that term. I average $2,(XX a year, and I believe that I am neither above nor below the average "hack" writer who enjoys no particular null" nnnn a nrioHrflL Mv Pinpripnep have taught me that the chances for the nacK" writer to make $4,uuu or o,uw tindependent of editorial positions) are very slim. Kvpn the editorial nositions worth $5,C0t) a year are very few and hard to nnd. mere are o.vju persons in tne unitea Stara omracpri in rditnrlfll work nrwn daily and weekly newspapers. This is the a a & report or tne laoor organizations, aiore than half this number -more properly belnnv In the list nf ne ws?a therers. a class whose services command only from $10 to $05 per week. The "free lance" in Journalism and literature does not have a regular salary, and it is consequently more difficult to find out what he makes. As a rnl thA Rnhpmlan who sends his verses around from paper to paper has more gilts tnan nis saiar:ea Droincr. e uno many things to contend with that the rennrtr nr p.iltnr never dreams of. His as signments are not made out for him. He must suggest ana nna nis own euojecis. and then hunt up a market for. them. The latter he does not always find. I served an apprenticeship 01 one year as a reporter on a New York dally. The nlfht work nearly rulneJ my health, and the compensation barely paid my board bills and clothed me decently. I was twenty years of age then. With no one dependent upon me, I found Journalism congenial enough for a time; but the monotonous routine of writing up meetings. Interviews, and accounts of fires, burglaries, etc., soon began to pall vpon my mind. I longed for some more ambitious work. I tried a short article of a more pretentious character, and had the .tisfactlon of seeing it printed In a prominent wtekly with my signature attached. Next followed a short story, for which I received $15. Two or three similar successes turned me permanently into the line of work I have followed ever since. AN INDEPENDENT WRITER. I left the dally papers and devoted my-, self to writing stories, articles and New York letters for whatever publication I could flni willing to buy them. I manaired to eet a weekly letter In a Philadel phia paper, but these never netted me more than $5 each. I contrived to live on $400 the first year of my sad experience as an independent writer; but I was encouraged to continue in my work by reading et-i 1- artiMoa in the nress about the big prices paid authors, anese articles, I believe, are the most harmful of any class published under the heading of "Literary Notes." Many of them are erroneous anl the others are frequently written in such a way as to give the readers the impression that fortunes are easily made in literature. A great many sad failures in Journalism and literature sipped their first "wine of delusion" in this way. ; A, twenty-three I finished my first novel, and a year later it was published serially In a New York Sunday paper. I received $1C0 for th serial copyright, and two years later I sold the book copyright for $i. The book has not yet been published, although .the publishers assure me that it will be brought cut as soon as business Is better. But the mcst encouraging feature of this venture ' at the time was the unstinted praise the paper in question gave to the etory. I had the satisfaction of seeing placards at ail the news stands, and advertisements in the morning papers, stating that "a new genius had sudlenly appeared on the literary horizon;" -that , "the great American novelist had at last appeared." The following Sunday the paper announced in a long editorial that the first installment of the story had increased the circulation of the paper 5,000. Think of it! My $100 story had attracted readers by the thouCan any one wonder that I Imagined my fame was established, when the paper publishing the story had over 100,000 subscribers, and had been printing the work of the bes; living authors? I was conceited enough to believe so, and my friends assured me that it must be true. I forthwith began another serial, and when it was finished I was a wiser man. I could not find a market for It for two years, and then I received the munificent sum of $20 for the serial copyright. My next brought me in $50. and my fourth is waiting an opportune time for publication in a New York weekly. It Is now four years old. and will probably be five before I get my pay for ft. I learned from these sad experiences that novel-writing did not pay. I tried to get some publishers to take the risk of bringing out some of my serials in book form, but they all hesitated, and finally discovered some good excuse. From that time to this I have abandoned that field of literature to devote myself to more remunerative writing. The author who has the forlorn hope of making money or a nari.e with his novels Is deserving of pity. One out of 1.001 may make a "strike" that will pay him, but the other 999 will die of disappointment. But fiction has been special hobby of mine. I have published, altogether nearly three hundred short stsries, but' they have all been financial failures. The most I ever received for one wac $S0O and the least $3. They have been in all sorts of publications, including the Youths' Companion. Harper's Weekly. St. Nicholas, Outlook, Independent. New England Msazine and many others. NOT A FIRST-CLASS WRITER. My merits are of an Inferior order, I know. Although I find a market for nearly everything I' write, the majority of my stories and articles eventually come out in some of the second-class publications. The magazines and weeklies that pay good prices for "hack" work are very limited, and their columns are greatly crowded. If everything. I write could find a place in some of the dozen best periodicals, I could very easily double my income. But how many are fortunate enough to ttnd such a regular market? The average "hack" is satisfied if he can find any kind of a market for all of his wares, and is even willing to wait for a long time for his payment. I have waited not only months, but years, for sums ranging from $5 to $1). Referring to my manuscript bcok I find that one literary weekly In New York, whose sanding is unquestionable, accepted an articl? and story Just five years ago and promlred to pay upon publication. 1 am still waitln? lor the money. Another weekly has k?pt accepted articles of mine for two years without paying for them. Even Harper's Weekly delayed the payment for a column article for a whole twelve months, although uniformly prompt and good payment has come from that quarter. Tne da ly papers usually publish an article soon after accepting It and weekly or mot thly payments are therefore made promptly. But ou'slde cf Cally journalism th ordi

nary "hack" expects to wait from three, to ten months for his check after his man usrrlpt has been accepted. If he be so Impatient as to demand quicker payment, he will fall into disfavor. Another discouraging feature of th "hack's" life Is the carelessness of editors

in iiduuiuiK iiiauuscripis. jnis noes not apply to the few leading publishing houses, where manuscripts receive careful treatment, but to the scores of lesser publications, whose editors either do not recognize authors' rights, or are handicapped br Insufficient help; Of course they always put the blame upon the postofflce. Stamped envelopes sent with the manuscripts do not insure the return of a manuscript .from many papers. A writer must learn to discriminate against such publications, and ignore them completely. Before I knew my papers I lost on an average 10 per cent. of my manuscripts, but after a bitter exferience I have reduced the total loss to ess than 1 per cent Some editors excuse themselves by saying that a copy shoull be retained by the author. But how many writers make two copies of their manuscripts? The extra labor Involved woul5 make life so discouraging that there would! be a general epidemic of suicides. I have not enjoyed a salary of any klnl In nine years, although several minor positions have been offered to me if I wou!t tie myself down to desk work. After alt there Is a pleasant siae to the "hack's" life. He is free and Independent He Is at the dictation of no one. and he can do his work at any hour of the day that suits his pleasure, provided he grinds out sar much a da He may live: In the city, or lni some pleasant suburb, where he can do hia writing under congenial circumstances. Ha has more of the leisure of the literary mar to compose and perfect his articles. StllL he is writing against time, and he cannot accommodate himself to his moods. Each day's labor Is marked out for him. and that must be performed whether he is mentally or physically equipped for It He must find, subjects; he must gather material continually; his knowledge must range over all subjects of 'Interest to humanity, and he must write about them even though h has only superficial ideas concerning them. HIS HIGHEST INCOME. For three years my Income has averaged $2,000, and I see no particular prospects oC an increase. Companions .of my former days who entered ether fields of usefulness are better off. One is a minister In a Western city, receiving a salary of IS.O00 a year; another has been called to a six-thousand-dollar charge; a third 13 a practicing physician In New York, making $8,000; a fourth. is traveling for a mercantile house at a salary of M.000 and all expenses paid for himself and wife; a fifth Is at the head of a wholesale hardware store, doing a largo business all over the country, and a sixth Is a lawyer enjoying an income of $S,000. I could extend this list very easily, but sufficient is given to show that either I possess talents much inferior to my companions or the life of a journalistic "hack" is a grinding and unremuncratlve one. I would be satisfied to accept the first alternative if the testimony of other companions in Journalism and literature did not seem to contradict that conclusion. One of the brightest friends that I had spent three years In "hack" writing after leaving college, and averaged $50 a year. He gavt up the work In disgust then, and entered a. mercantile house, where he now receives a handsome income. A second continued In journalism and to-day he gets a beggarly salary of $2,S00 as an associate editor. A. third stuck, to daily Journalism, training; himself for an editor; about half the tlme. he is out of a Job. Every time there is a, change In the editorship of the daily paper on which he happens to be working tand such changes are very frequent) he is apt to be turned out. His salary, when he Is working, ranges between $40 and $00 a meek. He Is now thoroughly sick of journalism, and declares that he will become a tradesman at any cost But what other field, of usefulness is a man fitted for who has spent ten years of his life in scribbling out copy for dally, weekly and monthly publications? Once a journalist hack, always a journalist hack. The fever enters the brain early; in life, anl before one is satisfied that tho work Is a delusion the disease has established Itself. Old men die in the harness, young men die prematurely oil, and tho only satisfaction thy have is that they, have done their duty to the best of their ability, and at small remuneration. Evea the preacher is not called upon to undergo the privations that the average journalist must suffer, and his compensation is In. many cases much mor: liberal, and certainly more regular than that of the writer. . A HARD-EARNED LIVING. To-day, at the age of thirty, I find that I can make a poor living, grinding out "copy" for the first and second publications. There is a bare possibility, but not a probability, of some day producing work that will command fancy prices. But tho realization of that hope seems nearly as far off to-day as it did ten years ago. In order to bo sure of the $2,000 a year, an J to relieve the mind of anxiety. It is necessary to conduct several "departments" In newspapers. In this way 1 am sure of $1,000 a year. This work is the poorest sort of hack writing. It Is a drulge to wrlto it. There is nothing in It that appeals to the Imagination or fancy; It is little moro than a mechanical execution of so many letters pervhour on the typewriter. But it must be produced; readers want ft, I suppose, and I want the money paid for it Four mornings out of the week must be partly sacrificed to this drudgery Jutt long enough to take the keen edge off the active, fruitful mind. A syndicate letter must then be ground out, a mere gossipy rehearsal of events that have happened In New York during the past week. But one cannot approach this work w.hen fagged out. It requires genius of a certain order tOvproluce a readable letter of this character that will outbid others. Intense rivalry keeps one up to a standard, below which, if he falls, dismissal and an empty pocket book are the rewards. This confession is not written for any other purpose than to present the life of the average "Journalist hack" In the trua light If it will warn others from undertaking Journalism or literature as a profession, it will not have been written lnt vain. The general Impression is that it is easv to write for periodicals, and that any cultivated person can thus make a thousand or two for pin money. Said a minister of my acquaintance to a fellow-clergyman in my hearing: "It will pay to employ a stenographer to take down your sermons and index your clippings. You can write for the papers and easily - mk enough to pay his salary." In other words, "vou can easily make $S00 to $1,000 outside of your regular professional duties without any experience in hack writing." That minister tried it later; and he has not made. $100 in two years. A college youth remarked recently: "My ambition Is to become a lawyer, and spend my spare moments in writing. I ought to make 2A0 a year very easily writing, and that' will keep me while 1 am working up a practice." Deluded soul! If he makes $300 a year while working up a practice, he may feel encouraged. In conclusion I wih to say that writing for a living is the worst paid of all pro- , fessional work, and that the chances of making more than $1,500 or $2.oio a year are poor. And to make this amount, you roust devote all of your energies to it. It cannot be made a side issue. The file Issue in Journalism and literature does rot pay. If you have a good Income from other source let literature alone, except for fame and glory. Do not depend upon it for money. NATIONAL TubeWorks WrouM-Iroi Pipe for Gis, Stem and YWer. Holler Tut.
