A Great Composers Modesty.

Everybody has heard the story of Mo zart writing the overture to Don Juan " at the very last moment, and rehearsing 1t while the ink was not dry with which it was written. When Auber wrote "L, Sirene," he rehearsed every thing except the overture, which he left for the dress rehearsal the night before the perform. ancs. It was played, and displeased not only the performers but more than any one, Auber himself. It was nine o'clock in the evening. He said: "Gc on re. hearsing; have something to do, but I will be back as soon as can" At mid night he returned, and brought back the tull manuscript of new overture. He gave it at once to the copyist, and said to him: 1t would be fine fun if this should be worse than the other one." Impossible" said the copyist, who meant to be very courteous. The next evening the parts were all written out on the desks, and the overture was uproar- iously encered. Auber would never at- tend performance of any of his operas. If l did" he said, "l could never write another note" The delight he took in RosSini's music made him one evening go to hear William Tell" and he sat quietly waiting for the charming violon- cello trio which begins the overture. The conductor arrived and gave the sign. Oh, horror Instead of the low E on two 'cellos a smashing diminished seventh Through prima-donna's- in- disposition, William Tell could not be given, and unknown to Auber the spec tacle had been changed-and his "Ma. saniello " was put in the place of Tell" So he jumped up as quickly as his green sighty-seven years would allow, and ran away from his own work.

The Daily Short Story.
lExchange.]

The avidity with which the shor stories now printed in many of the bright est of the American d lily journals ar. read is revelation to every student o news paper progress. Anybody who doubts tn .t we are fast developing ar appetite for short tales riva in, our de. sire for food has only to obse " for him. self. The passion grows ~ith what il feeds upon. We now crave our dail, story as we do our beefsteak. Alread, two strong " literary syndicates," headed by Allan Thorndyke Rice, of the N0yH Ameriean RsvieaV, and s. Mcclure ex-editor of the Boston WHeeIman, are supplying new and original m atter of all characters to the daily papers. The requisites of the popular short stor, would seem to be that it must not fill more than two columns of space. mus, be lively and interesting from the begin hing, and generally narrative in style rather than descriptive or analytical.
 The popularity of the short tale, as American readers understand it, and American writers serve it up, is to. day ad- mitted by every observing editor in the land. Prices for that class of literary matter have advanced two or three hun dred per cent, within the past two years. The monthly magazines find themselves outbtd by these organizations of news papers, all located far enough apart not to cheapen each others wares. To-day the best story writers are dealing with the syndicates." The long story has had home with the Sunday newspapers for some time Bret Harte has sold all his recent tales to the New York San, and that journal has "farmed them out !" But the predominance of the short story over editorial or even news matter is growing surprisingly. Halfthe upprofes- sional readers of this era take up their paper and glance over the daily story be- fore they scan the telegraphic matter. If the story have geod title or an attract i've first paragraph, it snares the game. It stands entirely on its merits, and any warning of strength or average accepta. bility will cause its most devoted friends to abandon it forthwith. The American reading public is very capricious. It does not grumble about getting it's moneys worth as do the English people, but 1t will not be coerced into reading what 1t dislikes.
 Again to the essayist and editorial lec- turer of our present daily ournalism, we say: Look out for the short story and the bright special articlel Watch them, crush them if you can, for their gaining strength means the destruction of all market for all platitudes and sermous.
 The short story has already effected lodgment on the so-called editorial page, and it means business.

TELL-TALE DIAMOND

lTid Bits.
 On the night of January 10, I8-, Cliff. ton bank was entered by burglars, who stole thirty thousand dollars. As soon as the robbery became known, repaired to the bank and sought the president, to whom presented my credentials, and told him wished to begin the work at once. He acquiesced, and we went into the main office, where several young men were scratching away as xnconcerned as # they had aot been engaged in an ami mated discussion of the robbery only a minute before. glanced at them sharply but saw nothing suspicious about them l examined the lock of the door opening on the street, and found 1t all right, al. though the first arrival had found the door ajar. l next examined the door opening upon the rear, and found i, locked securely, in which condition it had been since the night before.
 "Who has charge of the key of the door?" inquired.
 "Mr. NJ, the cashier, has one, and our jan,tor the other"
 "Can sec either of them"
 "Both, if need be. Here, Warren, run round to MT. N-'s and tell him I wish to see him immediately"
 The clerk was about to obey, when a thought occurred to me, and called him back.
 You need not trouble Mir. N, but call the janitor."
 In less than two minutes the clerk re. turned with the janitor, a broad shoul. dered lrishman, whose answers to my questions were SO direct, that l at once exonsraeed him from blame.
 "You lock up after the clerks have gone home, do you not2" inquired, looking the man in the eye.

 A great deal, my friend.

THE SONG OF HATE.
BY WILL HuBBARD-KERNAN.

Come at last. my masters, come at last To sing in your ears unwilling the terrible A song that will startle the timid, and make them tremble and pale,
 But the Truth seek,
 And the Truth l speak Though the whole world cover and quail, Hate that world, my masters, with all of it's show and sham, Its masques and lies and illusions deceiving z us but to damn; heartily hate the living and hate the very dead.
 And everything
 By vassal or king That ever was done or said; For, since the first far morning of Time. with its tolls and tears, Down through the dim, long vista of fleet and fugitive years, see but the one black picture 'twixt cradle and coffin bed,
 Of conquering knaves
 And covering slaves And the doom that struck them dead. Hate that world my masters, SO given to shame and sin, Where mortals by Fate are fettered and bar- ried and hampered in; And never moan nor marvel when hear the curdling cry
 Or wretches who dare
 In this hopeless snare To curse their God and die. Hate the name of Friendship, of all things
 6ckle and frail, For, O in the time of trial full oft have seen ii fail, And If it be foad and faithful then only too well know
 will wifhar ard ~a,,
 Like the green June grass, When the winds of the death-day blow. Hate the name of Pleasure; it is ever akin to Pain, And leaves it's dagger to rankle in spiri, and heart and brain, whenever 1t droppe,h lily a-down on my cheerless path,
 shiver with fear,
 For kAow that e-near There hurtles bolt of wrath. Hate the gilded bauble of Fame, that Himsy cheat; It skilleth the glib.tongued rabble in the les son of deceit;
 chosen lerd,
 Though won the face
 Through my own disgrace And stood in my heart abhorred. nate me name of Riches they bring in their blasting train rout of covetous courtiers who fawn at thy feet for gain. What do they care, O, nabob! for thee IL is plain to tell
 Name them in thy will
 For a sum, then spill Thy blood-it will please them we'll Hate this Life, my masters, so cruel and calm and cold Hate the awful Secret that never to man was told The mystery speeches. and silent that wraps us around and about,
 That sealeth the tomb
 With ghsstly gloom, And shutteth the Future out. Hate 1t all, my masters, but most hate mankind: They ars deaf to the voice of counsel, to their cleArest duty bliAd; call, and they scoff my warning I cry, and they only jesr,
 While they plan and scheme
 In a rosy dream Till Azrael makes them hear

Large Dealings In Reading-Prices Boosted Up On A Report That Plan To Reorganize Had Been ERected-Quotat1ons Slightly Higher All Around At The Cless.
 New York. March il. 1896. The threatening aspect of the strike on the south western roads, the report of the Western Union and the belief that the fight among the roads of the disrupted Transcontinental pool was as far from settlement as ever caused sharp selling of the leading specialties this morning. During the first thirty minutes some large amounts of stock were thrown on the market and prices broke 4 to l11 per cent, but at the first call the bulls rallied and bv the aid of supporting orders and other tactics they succeeded in checking the unloading and then bid values up. Under their manipulation this was more than recovered by midday prices showing fractional advances last rights, while in few cases marked improvement was recorded The sales to noon aggregated 126,oOo shares, of which 27 coo were in Western Union ,OOO in Lackawanna and IA 900 in Reading. The stock market was we.A supported throughout the afternoon. On small volume of business prices were steadily pushed to the close, when the best prices of the day were made Reading was the feature of the afternoon s trading. The stock quite actively bought on a rumor from Philadelphia to the effect that all parties had agreed upon plan of reorganization of that road and that the demand of the stockholders for per cent bonds or other security to rep resent an assessment had been agreed to. The closing prices with but few exceptions showed ad- vances ranging from Ii to 1A per cent. Western Union was weak and closed IS per cent. lower. The speciaIties dull and closed irregular Sales amounted to 279, 800 shares.
