LITTLE BREEcHEs.
BY JOHN NAY.

1 don't 20 much on religion,

But I've got n middlin' tight grip, sir,
On the handful o. things know.
don't pan out on the prophets
And free will; and that sort of thing
But b1ieve in God and the at gels,
Ever sence one night last Spring.
I come into town with some turnips,
And my little Gahe come along
No year old in the country
Could beat him for pretty and strong,
Peart and chtpper and sassy.
Always ready To swear and fight
AMI I'd larnt him ter chaw terhackcr
jest ter keep his milk teeth white.
The snow come down like blanket
As passed by Taggart's store,

And left the team AT the door.
They sea ell at something aud started
heard one little sVuall,
And hell to split over the prairie
Went team, Little Brceches and all.
HelI.to split over the prairiel

But we rousted up some torches,
And s'arehed for 'em far and near,
At last we struck hosses and wagon,

No hide nor hair was found.
And here all hope soured on me,

HawthOrne's "SnoW Image, and there
is In these narratives very little love
that Is necessary to the success Of the
story. On the other hand, Aldrich's
"Marjory Daw" and Stimson's "Mrs.
Knollys" are pretty love stories.
These instances are cited to prove that
while love is necessary in novel, II Is
not necessary in a short story. The
reason for this is that in the short
story the interest is focused and kept
at it's highest point throughout with
out the introduction of adventitious
elements, while in the novel, where
the energies of the reader are used for
a longer time, il is essential TO intro
duce something to highten the effect
and freshen and sustain his mental
strength. In writing the novel there
is plenty of time for the elaboration of
the plot and minute description. The
movement may drag without impair
ing the beauty of the story. But the
short story must be concise, the move
ment must be rapid and the method
and manner, vigorous. The more inge-
nuity there is in the story, the higher
grade it will occupy as a literary COM
position. If the writer of the short
story does not possess the ability TO
compress and invent, he never will
achieve success in his line. A short
story is not a sketch, because the
sketch often deals with objects of still
life. There may be no action in the
sketch. There must be action in the
short story. Something must happen.
In America there is demand for
the short story which is above that of
any other country. There is not a
paper or magazine which is not eager
TO secure the best short stories. Ii
seems TO be the characteristic of cur
rent literature; and we see in this
country what we do not see in Eng
land-that very many of the reputa-
tions of our best HtterdteurS have been
gained by the excellence of their short
stories. Cable, Aldrich, Bret Harte,
Hale, Miss Woolsen, Miss Murfree,
Miss Jewett-all these writers of
prominence made their mark as short
story writers before they essayed the
novel. In fact, from short story writ
ing to novel writing seems to be a
natural and symmetrical evolution.
That scholarly Frenchmap, Henri
Taine, in his work on the "Philosophy
iof Art" holds that the literature of a
patton is mirror in which people see
their mentality reflected. He cites
plenty of instances in support of his
assertion; and one may see in the pop
ularity of the short story in this coun-
try a reflection of the active and busy
spirit of the present age. The very
trend of life of to-day in America
leads it to the short story, with its
intense action, its compressed plot, and
ofttimes impressive ingenuity. This
presents one good reason why the short
story has become so popular as liter

THE SHORT STORY.
Detroit Free Press.

1t is an easy matter comparatively
for a person who is facile with his
pen, and has fertile imagination and
sound constructive ability, to write a
long story. 1t is a much more diff
cult matter, however, for one SINH
larly equipped to write a short story.
And even If one were able TO write a
long story in a manner TO command
public attention, and win public
praise, it does not follow that he is
competent 10 write a successful short
story.
There are many differences between
the novel and the short story. The
chief of these is a difference of kind.
A real short story is something more
than q story that is short. There is in
the ideal short story the same unity
which characterizes the perfect novel !;
and because the unities are to be COM
pressed in so short a space, is one rea-
son why there is greater difficulty in
framing the short story. The short
story, in its modern acceptation, deals
with single character, single event
and q single emotion. 1t may deal
with a series of emotions, but these
emotions must be called into being by
q single event. 1t is complete in itself,
and it has this peculiar characteristic,
that in reading it one is impressed
with the fact that if it were length
ened into the form of novel its liter
airy beauty would be sadly impaired.
There is as much difference between
the short story and the novel as there
is between Homer's "Iliad" and Gray's
"Elegy." Compare Bret Harte's John
Oakhurst" and Theodore WinIhrop's
"Love on Skates" which are two
model short stories, with Thackeray's
"Vanity Fair" and Goldsmith's "Vicar
of Wakefield" which are typical
novels, and one can appreciate to its
fullest degree the difference. The novel
must deal with love in order to meet
with popular appreciation. The peo-
pie of to-day would not appreciate a
novel which did not have more or Lees
of the divine passion in it and its
accompanying complications. 1t is
not necessary for the short story to
have any love in it at all. There Is no
doubt, however, that short story Is
made more attractive by the injection
of little love, but there is no duty
incumbent on the writer to introduce
this element. Take Poe's "Gold Bug"
Bret Harte's "Outcasts Of Poker Flat"

The Art of Kissing.
Detroit Free Press.

DGAFOtk FNe NFS@h
Is kissing an art2 Is there any
science in osculation2 There certainly
is. There Ia just as much art in adj
ministering kiss rs there Is In dress
ing with taste, or writing an essay.
Ii Is not every kiss that Is acceptable,
nor every attempt that merits COM
mendation. There are grades Of
kissers, just as there are grades Of
preachers or painters.
There was a time when kisses were
administered upon the back of the fair
lady's hand. The hand was chosen
because the face was so painted and
powdered that q kiss would sadly
impair the beauty of the facial ensem-
bic. But the hands then were
probably kept whittier than they are
now. A hand kiss at best Is barren
ideality, and the hand would have to be
attractive in its cleanliness in order to
be kissable. Finally the hand took a
back seat and the lips, which nature
fashioned to be kissed, came TO the
front.
There was an art in bestowing a kiss
on lady's hand. 1t had to be done
daintily, delicately, considerably and
solemnly in order that the full effect
should be realized. If there was art
in this, how much more necessity is
there for artistic performance where
the lips are concerned Look at two
women kissing. There is plenty of
innocent impetuosity in the act but
not much art. They rush together
like two approaching locomotives and
II there Is not a percussion equal in
noise to the explosion of boilers, there
is enough to let the bystanders know
that there has been some unusual per-
Torrance. The genuine art of kissing
is realized in its full perfection where
members of the opposite sexes are
concerned. But there are fewer men
than women who know how TO kiss
properly. Most men want delicacy,
or if you please, idyllic tenderness in
securing the delectable prize. They
rush at the goal of their desires in q
laundering way, like tiger which
gathers itself together and strains all
its muscles in one jump in order to
overpower its prey. There is no finish
in kiss so administered. 1t is apt TO
be offensive, because il is so clumsy.
A kiss to be perfect should be bestowed
deliberately and carefully and rever-
emily, with somewhat of the same
caution that man would show If he
were to walk among q lot of eggs
without injuring any of them. There
is nothing in the world that is capable
of such nice finish and sentiment as an
artistic kiss. But heaven preserve
the fair sex from the man who kisses
them as if he were a sandbagger and
she the object to be sandbagged.
