A Comedians Joke on n Humorist.

When Eugene Field, the genial Chicago
humorist, made tour Of the east last spring,
the first city that he visited was Washington.
Stilson Hutchins and several prominent
residents of the capital had arranged to give
Nat Goodwin banquet on the night of the
day that Mr. Field reached Washington.
The humorist is very warm friend of Mr.
Goodwin, as well as Mr. Hutchins, SO Of
course he was invited to he present at the
banquet Us soon as his presence in the town
had become known, which was almost at the
last minute. Mr.. Field expressed much de
light in accepting the invitation, and hurried
to his hotel with the intention of donning his
lress suit. After unpacking his trunk, he
discovered TO his horror that his wife, in the
hurry of packing, had neglected to put in the
coat belonging to the suit As it was nearly
time for the banquet, Mr.. Field was at loss
to know what to do He certainly could not
attend without dress coat, 50 he hunted up
Mr.. Goodwin and confidentially informed
him of his dilemma.
That's nothing" said Mr. Goodwin, "you
must borrow one'
Tie leader Of our orchestra has a dress
coat, and he is very obliging fellow.
Besides, he is great admirer of your
poetry"
They had no difficulty in securing the coat.
The owner Of it was a fat man, and Mr.
Field is slim man, but Goodwin had no diff
ficulty in making Field believe it good fit
by gathering it in the back in the manner of
a Baxter street merchant. Then Goodwin
and Field proceeded TO the banquet board
where they proceeded to enjoy themselves
hugely. After th. feast, Mr.. Field being
called upon, he arose to deliver an original
poem. Goodwin sat opposite to him, and as
soon as Field started to spout he held up his
arms in the posture of violinist, and began
TO WELD an imaginary bow. This took away
Mr.. Fields inspiration, and brought his mind
vividly back to the owner of the coat. The
result was great embarrassment, and MIR

Fortunately for Mr.. Goodwin, he has not

The Writing of Novels.

Speaking generally, should suppose that
the best novels are apt to be those that have
been longest in the novelist's mind before
being committed 10 paper; and the best
materials to use, i'll the way of character or
scenery, are those that were studied not less
than seven or eight years previous to their re
production Thereby is attained that quallty

perhaps the most valuable and telling quality
of all. Occasionally, however, in tie rare case
of a story that suddenly seizes upon the
writer's imagination and dsspoticali. POS
sesses" him, the atmosphere is created by the
very strength e the possession" In the
former instance the writer Is thoroughly
master of his subject; in the latter, the sub
ject thoroughly masters him; and both
amount essentially tn the same thing, har-
mony between subject and writer.
With respect to style, there Is little to be
said. Without good style no writer can do
much; but it is impossible really to create a
good STYLE A writer's style was born at the
same time and under the same conditions

At a crowded table dhote on the west side

it around till he was able to raise TO his mouth

Soldiers on Low Diet.

1t has been decided that Russian soldiers
in future must observe Lent in the most
rigorous way. They will have TO fast not
only during the four great Lents" yearly,
but also Wednesday and Friday, and the six
great days of prayer and repentance. This
is the calculation: The great Lent tof Easter,
~ days, PetroffKi Lent, 20 to so; Usspenski
Lent, Il; Filippotfski Lent, 80; 6 days Of
prayer and repentance, 6; 81 Wednesdays
and 81 Fridays, 62; total, 10 to 200 days;
on which dates neither meat nor fish during
the Easter Lent nor eggs, nor milk, nor even
sugar is allowed. The officers assert, with
much force, that the physical strength Of the
soldiers must inevitably suffer from the new
regimen Chicago Times.

ARTISTIC Piece OF Flower Weaving.

Probably the most artistic piece Of flower
weaving ever accomplished in this city was
done by Thorley the other day in design
that was presented at dinner at the Man
haitian club last evening. 1t was bas relief

ground of the piece was twenty-six inches
square. 1t was made of golden ferns, each
ond being pinned down so that the surface
was like dark green cloth fecked with gold
On this reposed in relief the noble features OF
the tragedian, as clearly defined as if chiseled
in alabaster. The face was made of the pale
Neapolitan violets, and the eyes of dark
Russian violets The eyebrows and hair were
most ingeniously fashioned of the petals of
white carnations. The design was framed in
double yellow daisies and rested on an easel

At distance this looked like support OF

A nice little story comes from Maine about
a Young lawyer and a rich man from Phila-
delphia, who met him at Poland Spring. The
rich man wanted to send some one on whom
he could rely to Europe. He liked the young
mans appearance, and proceeded to put his
honesty to a peculiar civil service examina-
ton. After gaining his confidence he told
him Of plan he had for making money by a
short but very dishonest method. The young
man declined TO be a party TO any such ar
rangement. The old man pleaded that scores
of men occupying high positions to-day had
made their start in precisely such way. The
young man was firm as a rock. The young
man is now on his way to Europe to attend
to the business of the rich Philadelphian.-

PLAYERS HARD TO PLEASE
An Umpire Tells What He Knows About
Chronic Baseball Elckers-

an " hhoNs AoOut
Chronic Baseball EIckers-
Now the science Of pitching curved balls
has been carried 50 far that it is often diff
cult to decide whether the ball has actually
gone over the plate or not As it leaves the
pitchers hands the ball may look as if it was
going many inches to one side or the other.
But Just before If reaches the plate it curves
inward or outward. as the case may be-
and shoots over the plate just where the
batter wanted it. 1t may deceive the batter
until too late, it may even deceive the umpire
but ii is almost certain to deceive the out
siders who are not so close 10 the plate and
have not the same opportunity of judging.
Suppose you call this a strike. II the batter
be one Of the visiting team, the crowd re-
ceives your decision with noisy delight. He
kicks, and the crowd hisses him. But if he
belongs to the home club the crowd desire to
kill you and wish YOU an unpleasant time in
the next world. Or a batsman is running to
first base after hit The ball is fielded and
thrown TO the baSeman. Ii is difficult TO say
which gets there first, ball or runner. One
impartial man might think the ball was first
another might think the runner But the
crowd is not impartial 1t makes up its mind
according 10 its preferences and if your de
cision favors the home nine it applauds you,
il not it hisses you In any event you have
10 stand the kicking of the nine who lose by
your decision.
Indeed, one Of the worst enemies of the UNI
pire is the kicking player In most instances
it is he who gives the audience the cue for
kicking. There are players, Of course, who
never say a word or make a move that would
lead the audience 10 believe they were dis
satisfied with the umpires rulings But |
know Others who recognize the fact that an
umpire may be ratified by the hooting Of
spectators, and so deliberately raise a dis
turbance with that object in view.
Others, again, are chronic kickers; who can
not help giving vent to their feelings in the
excitement of the moment, and who, after the
game, are repentant and beg the umpire's
pardon for their conduct | have often been
asked: Why don't you fine such men7" Well,
an old ball player doesn't like to be hard on
his former brethren. Besides, even if he does
overcome his reluctance, he cannot be sure
that the fine will be paid The club TO which
the player belongs does not always, not even
usually, take the part Of the umpire. Instead
of exacting the penalty, they often do their
best 10 remove the offending umpire from his
position.-Joseph J. Ellick in Lippincott's
