Lives there a person in the land
over twenty-one years of age who has
not, at some period of his life, sent I
some product of his fertile brain to I
the magazines and newspapers?”
Truly, judging from the number of
people who write to ask me about
the rules of the game, I doubt it.
“What class of work do editors
want the most?”
“How should the manuscript be ar
ranged?”
“What are the best magazines to
send work to?”
“What is the remuneration?”
“Do you have to have a story
copyrighted before you send it?”
“When do magazines pay for work
—on aceptance or publication?”
These are some of the most com
mon of the forty-leven questions that
the rising crop of the would-be au
thors ask me, and since there seems
to be such a general interest in the
subject, I am going to answer them
to the best of my ability in my space
today instead of 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 5,000
words, especially love stories. Inter
esting articles on any topic of timely
interest come next in salability. Po
etry, especially by unknown authors,
is extremely difficult—almost impos
sible to sell. Some magazines actual
ly have their poetry supplied gratis
by people who consider the joy of
seeing it actually printed sufficient
remuneration.
The conventional method of arrang
ing manuscript is something everyone
who is trying to “break into” this
game ought to understand. Tn the
1 first place have your work typewrit
i ten if you possibly wi. That makes
it that much clearer, and anything
which is clear and doesn’t have to be
puzzled over, is much mere apt to be

appreciated and accepted. If you
can’t have your work typewritten,
write it as legibly as possible. Never
write on both sides of the paper. If
written have the lines wide apart;
if typewritten 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
ber 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 it 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 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
eases. That depends wholly upon the
' style of your work. Read all the mag-
I azines you can get hold of and try to
| decide what style your own work ap
proximates the most closely.
Some people send their work to
story brokers who, understanding the
demands of the various magazines,
try to dispose of the work for them,
and also criticise it.
Remuneration is a subject on which
volumes could be written. Rudyard
Kipling, they say, gets a dollar a
word. Some small magazines and city
newspapers pay $3 or $4 a thousand
words and country papers sometimes
pay a dollar or two for the same
amount. Somewhere between these
two extremes is the remuneration for
the re: tof us. Fifteen or twenty dol
lars a thousand words is a reasonable
price for a story by an unknown au
thor, while writers of reputation, such
as Elinor Hallowell Abbott, get SSOO
or SI,OOO for a story of oridnary
length;
You do not have .to have a story
eopyrighteed before you send it.
As to the time of pay—a few maga
zines pay on acceptance, many more
when the article is published. Inci
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 magazines have stated times,
such as once a month or once a quar
ter when they settle all their literary
bills.
There, I hope these few suggestions
will smooth the path to fame and
fortune of many rising authors and
authoresses.
RUTH CAMERON.
Four Nationalities in a Tangle.
Policeman Kiernan appeared before
Magistrate Freschi in the Harlam
Court on Tuesday with David Mc-
Lean. Mac Lean desired to complain
again Bernard Levy for keeping a
goose in his apartment.
“Why do you keep the goose?”
inquired the magistrate.
“It is to fatten, your honor,” ex
plained Levy, “to fatten for the great
feast next Tuesday.”
“Ahem,” said Magistrate Freschi,
“It seems to me this is a very com
plicated case. Here is an Irish po
liceman with a Scotch complainant,
who wants to make information
against a Jew before an Italian mag
istrate. The only thing I can see to
do in this case is to p<>'pone it for
one week, and in the meantime we will
allow the defendant to eat the evi
dence.”
Dimensions of Heaven.
Louisville, Ky.—Heaven’s exact di
mensions were figured out in a sermon
the Rev. M. E. Dodd, pastor of a
Baptist church here, preached to his
congregation. In the course of his
sermon the preacher said :
“In Revelations 25th chapter,
sixteenth verse, nervous Christians
have read where the dimensions of
heaven are only 1,500 cubic miles. Im
mediately they jump to the conclusion
that even this space will not accom
modate the vast multitude of which
the Bible speaks.
However, calculations will show that
this space will accomodate a building
792,000 stories high, and counting
rooms of 10 cubic feet, the first floor
of the structure would have 627,264,-
000 such rooms. Multiplying this by
792,000 it is easy to see that such a
building would indeed, accommodate
an innumerable multitude.” •>»•’<?

Modern Perils.
Miss Harriet Quimby, after one of
her daring aeroplane flights at Mine
ola, L. 1., smiled lightly at a report
er’s mention at her danger of flying
says the Kansas City Star.
“Oh, there’s danger everywhere”
she said. “The walker is in as much
danger almost as the flyer. Did you
ever hear about the fate of Jorkins?”
“Jorkins, poor fellow came from,
the country to see New York. The
noise and confusion of New York quite
upset him. Treading his way across
a busy street he thought he would go
mad.
“ ‘Clank! clank!
’“Jorkins leaped to the right just in
time to escape a motor car.
“ ‘Ding-a-ling. Ding dong!”
He darted to the left from under
the very wheels of the automobile fire
engine.
“ ‘Hum-m-m!
“Jorkins looked up in the air, now
saw a monoplane, its tail smashed, fall
ing straight upon him. He glared
wildly around, caught sightt of a man
hole, lifted the cover and jumped
down into a black hole just in time
to be cut in half by an underground
electric train.”
The Society Separation.
The Cleveland Plain Dealer quotes
this conversation:
“Did the Gildeys have much trou
ble in arranging their separation?”
“No. At least not until they reach
ed the child. They have but one child
you know.”
“How about the dogs?”
“That •was easy. They had two
dogs.”
“I see. Well what did they do?”
“Whj, Gildey suddenly developed a
sterak of generosity. He took the
child and let his wife have both dogs.’
