Clever Contracts Blade   -with   Agents bj
Book Publishers.
A correspondent of the Journal
writes to expose the fraud contained
in many flattering offers made by book
publishers to prospective agents, and
as a great many people are constantly
being made the victims of these contracts, the exposition of the fraud is
certainly timely. Speaking of the
methods employed by hook manufacturers to secure agents, and get agency
•work done, he says: "They send out
adroitly misleading and grossly deceitful contracts to those who are induced
to open correspondence with them by
the flattering advertisements published. These advertisements promise
large salaries, and in that way entice
many honest employment seekers. The
contracts sent out would appear, to
any one but a lawyer, to promise lucrative positions. The conditions are
that the applicant work a month selling what books he can, makes delivery,
retains commission, and pays for the
books. He is then to take the field at
a stipulated salary as general agent,
and the shortage in salary of the
month served is to be allowed. The
salary promised is from $75 to ?125
per month.". While he is doing his initiatory work he may write himself
blind to get some information concerning his general agency work. This is
kept back until the month's work is
finished. Then he receives a letter
promising him from $75 to $80 per
month", and the last four months of
the first year ?100 per month, salary
and expenses to be paid out of the
money secured by selling outfits to
agents. The contract sent by a publishing firm requires the outfits to
be sold at $3.75 each. Here the scheme
culminates. Though an agent had the
tongue of an angel he could never
make his expenses selling outfits at
that price. Many hook firms sell these
same outfits at from 25 to 75 cents. The
contract, it appears, is a very carefully worded one. Virtually it binds the
agent to work for the firm at a certain
figure, but does not bind the firm to
hire him at that figure. The correspondent further says: "The result of this
scheme is that the book manufacturer
gets work out of many persons, soiae
of whom leave good positions to accept the enticing offer. A lady; gave
up her school last year to accejj| one
of these offers,,.aritt'-Sytien sb©*2ound
she had heen deceived came to Lincoln
to consult her attorney. The attorney
at once informed her that; while nine
out of ten persons outside the law
profession would think her contract
binding the firm to $75 per month, yet
its construction was so adroit as to
bind the firm to nothing. Another
lady thus deceived went from Lincoln
to Chicago, in the hope of getting her
wrongs righted. There are many other persons in the city who have lost
valuable time in trying to get one of
these positions. The secretary of one
of these book concerns in a recent letter to me says: 'You had better place
the contract in-the hands of some intelligent person who can explain it.' Now
I wish to pass this advice on to the
general public and advise that when
a contract is received from a book firm
offering ari agency that it 'would be
well to place it in the hands of an attorney to see whether it is good or not.
Do this before you sign it.-"—Nebraska

ECCENTRIC MRS. BIGELOW.
That Old Story Abont Onida   Attributed
to Her.
Poultney Bigelow, who remarks that
some of the soldiers who sailed for
Santiago in the transports asked him
what the war was about, is the gentleman who -went to school with the emperor of Germany and wrote a book
about the potentate, says the Louisville Times. His mother was noted
for her frankness of speech and eccentricity, and at one time when her
husband occupied a diplomatic post in
France the Emperor Napoleon III.
placed the imperial box at his disposal
one evening. For some reason or other the Bigelows could not attend the
opera, sb Mrs. Bigelow sent her servants to occupy it and caused thereby
no little upheavel in diplomatic circles. It was this lady who called on
"Ouida" at her villa in Florence. When
the servant took in her card Mrs.
Bigelow overheard the authoress saying: "No, I will not see her. Tell her
I have no use for Americans." Whereupon the caller was wroth, and, walking into the room where "Ouida" was,
she exclaimed: "Won't see Americans?
Why, miss, we are the only people
who buy and read your nasty books."
Instead of getting angry, "Ouida" was
delighted with the freshness and audacity of her caller and begged her to
come to the villa as her guest, for she
would like to make a study of her.
Mrs. Bigelow declined.

Siberia's Lofty shores.
The fact has recently been pointed
out by a Kussian geographer that the
shores of Siberia are not flat and water-
soaked as represented in text hooks,
and even on the latest maps, 'but, on
the-contrary, are high, and !ni many
places even hilly.. With the exoeption
of; the Obi region and the -deltas of a
few rivers, Siberia meets the Arctic
Ocean with a hold and lofty coast line.
