i Ware succeeds W. B. Scott as genera
manager of the Union Pacific, this ap
pointment having buen made public by
I President Mohlcr Tuesday. Mr, Scott
resigns to become - president ot tne
Texas and Louisinna lines of the Har
riman system.
I Tho Tribune is mightily pleased to
i note the promotion of Charley Ware,
I and this pleasure- is shared by every
employe of the operating department
of the Union Pacific in North Platte,
and no doubt by employes at all divis
ion terminals. With the engine and
train men the Union Pacific has never
had a more popular official; he is a
practical railroad man, nnd knowing
what should reasonably be expected of
an employe, he does not demand the
things that are unreasonable. This is
more than can be said of the man he
succeeds.
Mr. Wnre began his railroad career
in 18S2 as a telegraph operator for the
Northwestern. He later became a train
dispatcher on the road, and in 18J0
came to the Union Pacific as a dispatcher,
and as such was located for a time at
North Platte. Later he wa3 promoted
to chief dispatcher, then trainmaster
and then assistant superintendent
with headquarters in this city. He
we.3 then made superintendent of the
Nebraska division and removed to
Omaha. Two years ago he was pro
moted to general superintendent, and
now becomes general manager. Each
of these promotions has been well
earned, nnd in his new position we pre
dict that he will make "good,' both to
satisfaction of the men higher up and
to the employes of the system.

My mime Is Arietta Hope. I consist
of -tOO pages, with a' good deal on a

and the paper part Is hook. Itut since

to have attained to a correct knowl
edge of her sex Vet since she did not
Issue nie under her own inline, hut the
assumed immo of a man. Udgnr liar
dine, she Is not only unknown to those
who hare rend inc. hut unless she is
betrayed by certain feminine traits
displayed In me she Is supposed to be
Marcollue. When my maker had fin
ished tne she sent tne the round of
publishers through the express com
Dante's, su that (die did not make her
Bc'lf known to them. However, she re
quested as an especial faror that they
would send her the criticisms of their
"readers." these persons being employ,
ed to rend manusciipts and report to
the publisher whether each In their
opinion would be a profitable hook for
them to publish. The publishers usu
ally paid very little attention to my
maker's request, though a few did.
These criticisms were almost always
where the "render" hnd mnde some
facetious remark about the story. The
first one my maker recelred was as
follows:
"Mr. Harding has written a long
story purporting to portray a womnn.
The author must hnre written the
book with a mirror before hlra. Wheth
er he has portrayed himself or not is
not nppnrent. but certnln It Is that
ho has painted a man In petticoats.
Arietta Hope gives every evidence of
having been constructed by one of the
male sex. 1 would decline It"
Long after the receipt of tho criti
cism my maker made the acquaintance
of this critic and found him to be a
young man still In his teens.
My maker, Uavlug spent two years
upon ine. at the same time studying
different women from whom Bho drew
certain' femlnlno traits which she In
stilled Into me. was much discouraged.
If therttf.opresimtatlve of a promlueut
publishing house had mistaken tier
herolno for a pettlcoatcd man, what a
dreadful failure she must have inadol
She put me In a closet aud looked mo
up with the Intentlou of uevor taking
mo out again. But some one told her
that Dodson & Co. wero looking for
novels not of the Uashy type, hut stud
ies of character and she decided to
submit nie to them. So 1 was sent by
express, a letter going by mall beg
ging the. firm to give her somo Idea of
the merits aud demerits especially tho
latter of the story. Tho manuscript
was returned to her. accompanied by a
letter. In which the writer courteously
explained to tier that more than DO per
cent of the novels published were read
by women. Women required stories
that showed the feminine touch. Mr.
Harding had shown high literary ex
cellence, hut he had not succeeded in
portrnyjtng a woman.
My maker determined that when she
sent me out again she would ndopt a
feminine nora de plume. She made a
new title page, with Edith Granger on
It Instead of Edgar Harding, and dis
patched me to the Parklngton Publish
ing eompnnj Sho was again success
ful In eliciting a courteous reply, which
included the reader's report. It was as
follows:
"Tho author has given a picture or a
woman who Is sure to antagonize tier
own pes. Arietta Hopo Is altogether
too feminine for a heroine. In reading
about her we would surmise, did we
not know to the contrary, that she had
been drawn by a man, so uinny of
those volntilo traits common to wom
en are found in her traits that men
love to ridicule."
"Good gracious!" exclaimed my mak
er when sho read this. "Then I've
Jumped from the frying pan Into tho

effort, aud If that failed sho was re
solved to burn me. She sent mo to

stntlng bluntly that they would not
care to publish mo at their own risk,
but If she would pay tho cost of pub
lication they would put their Imprint

My maker having all a woman's cu
