"Nobody Is the correct and true Juclgo
nf what any piece of writing Is," re
marked a Journalist of thlrti sears' ex
perience, "until It hns been put Into print
and seivcd to the pcrplo. It Is true, they
tno sometimes mUtuken, but It Is the
exception when they nre, It Is not neces
sary for mo to cite thi stories of "Para
dise Lost," "Irnocents Abroad," and n
few other classics of that type, for they
nro part of tho history of the world's lit
erature, but I will tell ou a stoiy of
nnother clastic. I don't remember Uutes
exactly, but once upon a time, far back,
I wont Into un olllce una day to bca about
a matter of butiuess, Mid I happened in
Just at a time when tho force was dis
cussing the muruscilpt ot u book which
thu leaders of the establishment had all
taken a tilt at Its title was "Helen s
Babies, ' and Its author was one John
Hnbberton, and a ft lend ot mine. Natu
tally I was interested nnd upon Inquiry
I was pained to learn that the untlre force
with tho exception of one ordinary
gill who was only u sub-i carter, had
passed adversely, and with promptness,
upon tho manuscript. Not only that, but
the) were laughing to tscorn the poor
Bub-teadcr, who, notwithstanding, Insist
ed that it vrus the funniest thing she had
ever tend, and, ot Us kind, tho most en
tertaining. Howevei, It was u case of
many against one, and tho manuscript
was returned.
"I did not give tho matter any turthor
tnought Just then, but the next duy or
daj nfter tho BUbject of manuscripts
camo up In u talk I was having with
Soneso of tho old publishing firm, and
I told him tho tale of the rejected manu
fccript, and suggested that In my Judg
ment tho opinion of tho girl who repre
sented the class who bought because they
liked them was far belter In n business
xenso than the opinion of critics who
judged a hook from the critical point nf
view, critics not being book buyers as a.
tub!. It struck htm us n good paint, und
ho asked me to toll Habbertbn to offer
tho manuscript to him.
"1 went after Habberton tit tho first
oppoitunlt), and ho went utter Soneso
What tho readers of tho firm thought ot
tho manuscript I tie, or loirned. Tho
business tnd of tho firm thought It was
good enough to publish und tho result
whs that more 'Holm's Babies' wore sold
Until of any hook the houso ever pub
lished. So much for tho opinion of ti
humble sub-reader."
"Speaking of that kind ot thing," said a
man with u dome of thought that had
no mora hair mi It Hum has the dome of
I tutt capltol at Wushlugton, 'reminds me
of something entirely different. 1 recall
two experiences of friends of mine who
'wiote pieces for tho papers,' and that
sort, don't you know. Tho first one, who
Is now a writer of stories and verso,
while he makes his bread and butter as
an editor, jenrs ugo sent a poem to A
and ono to B. In tlmo both poems camn
back to him and ho was disconsolate, for
ho knew they wcro good enough to pilnt,
and ho could not understand why both
of them should get it In tho neck llko
that. As there was nothing clso to do and
ho did not want to lose all his work, ho
did tho best ho could, and simply re
versed tho operation, sending the first
piece to B and tho other to A, In due
time he heard from each and In each let
ter was a check,"
"The experience of tho other litterateur
was somewhat different. Ho sent a shAt
sketch to a leading periodical of the
lighter kind, which nlso published a col
lection of things clipped from nespaprs
and other places all over the world, of
fering therefore money prizes of from ono
to three dollars for tho best ones ptesent-
ed. Ho was ruther hopeful of tho suc-1
cess of his little offering, for he had ben
there before; but, lo! It came back to him
with a promptness that made procrasti
nation seem a virtue. He rallied and sent
It to another editor, and this time, though
not exactly where ho wanted himself to
appear, ho got and received his money for
his effort. Two or three months later he
happened one day to pick up the prize
collections of sl-etches published b the
other fellow, and there, at the head of
tho column, ns the winner of the highest
pilzo In Its clf9, wna tho story which
had been before weighed In the balanco
and found wanting."

"Mrs. Trelawnew," said France Wel
lington!, "thero is something that I have
for a long time wished to say to jou."
Tho president of tho society for tho
Squelching of Husbands looked over her
glasses and frowned. She evidently
knew what was coming, but after n mo
ment's sllencw she said In her most Im
pressive platform tones:
"Well, go one. What It Is.'"
"I I lovo your daughter, Miss Gladys.
I have reason to believe that she returns
my passion, and I want to ask you to
give her Into my Keeping."
Mrs. Trolawnoy's features hardened,
and there was a ro.u, metallic ring In her
volco as she answeied:
"What recommendation have you to
offer, for yourself? How can you con
vlnco mo that you will nlways lovo her
that jou will always think her beau
tiful?" "She looks like her mother," fald Fran
cis Wnlllngford. "That Is enough to con
vince me that her beauty will not dimin
ish as her years Increase Of course, I
know that this can hardly bo regarded
as a final test. You havo not renehed

THE MARKETS.
Wall Hlroet Iterlew.
New York, March 28. Tho publica
tion of the report of the Maine board of
Inquiry resulted In a rebound of prices
on the stock exchange and theso ad
vances at the high point of tho day
had wiped out a large proportion of
the losses which have occurred since
the explosion In Havana harbor. This
was brought about by the movement
of the bear traders to take their profits.
The liquidation of the last few weeks
had left the supply of stocks very
small. When the shorts began to bid
therefore they found great bull opera
tors lit full competition with tho main
bidding up prices. The result was a
scramble by the shorts, which reached
the proportions of a bear panlo during
the day and sent prices skyward. The
apprehensions of the bears were fed by
a printed report from Washington that
Spain had completely acted to all
President McKlnley's requests, includ
ing nn armistice between Cubans and
Spaniards for six months. Closing
prices were, however, by no means nt
the highest, the specialties showing re
actions ranging up to 4t, points in Met
ropolitan street railway. Prices all
through the list weio markedly below
the best, yet there remained such strik
ing net gains as 7 In Pullman, 7 In
Metropolitan street railway, 6 In
Sugar and from 4 to 5 In New York
Central, Buillngton, St. Paul, North
west, Rock Island, Delaw are and Hud
son, Louisville, Lake Shore, Manhattan,
New Jersey Central, Union Pacific pre
ferred and over 3 points- In a large
number of prominent stocks. The
transactions Tor the day foot consider
ably over three-quarters of a million
shares at a total which had not tieen
equalled since last fall. Total sales of
stocks were 852,200 shares.
