FIRST-FRUITS OF THE
PEN.
When I once asked Mr. Coulson Kernahan how be earned his first) guinea (says a writer in John o London's Weekly), he swered, with a whimsical smile of rainiscence:-- "It was only half a inea-and I never got it! It was
a sonnet on Charles Dickens, and Post Office order somehow vanished in the post. The first guinea I received was for some verses I wrote for the Sunday Magazine."
The first-fraits of Mr. W. W Jacobs's pen were a modest five still- ings for a prize story published in 1986 in a monthly paper; Mr. Zangwill's debut in print took the form of a humorous story, "Professor Grimmer," published in Society for which he was awarded a £5 prize; and Mr. Jerome first struck gold "Jack's when a short story called Wife," which appeared in the Lamp in 1881, brought a guinea to his scanty purse.
Mr. Thomas Hardy's maiden effort In literature was an architectural article, How I Built Myself a House," published in Chambers's Journal for March 18th, 1855, for which he was delighted to receive a couple of guineas; and it was in the same journal that Mr. Stanley Way. man made his ploneer flight in a chatty article on University "Scouts,"" for which he received a small but very welcome cheque.
Sir Anthony
"Hope" set his Literary ball rolling with a short story in the St. James's Gazelle; and Sir A Conan Doyle with a story published: in Chambers's Journal in 1876, called "The Mystery of the Sassissa Valley." "I got three guineas for it." he says, and very pleased I was !" Mr. Morley Roberts unblushingly confesses, that he made his first guinea, and six more, by stealing a Texas newspaper article holus-bolus, and adding a head and Mr. Silas Hocking says, "My first story brought me in £13, and I was thank- ful to get that "—as he ought to have been.
Mr. Cutclife Hyne made bis first | guinea by supplying designs and mottoes, to decorate the paper in which a friendly tradesman wrapped
