more than the bull had calculated on, and
he pulled for home. When he got out of

the field and making such rsinipus IN
that farm had never known before.
The other bull, when its foe retrcated 30
noisily and suddenly, seemed seized with

tie had caught succeeded In shaking the
snapper loose. II was picked up and sub
sequently scnt Ia a restaurant keeper in
New York City. The bull that the turtle
didn't catch has gone to the bank and re-
newed his challenge every duy since the
turtle broke up the fight, but his rival
pays no attention TO il. He evidently

ABOUT NOVEL WRITING.
The Relation That should Exist Between
style and Matter.

style and Matter.
Andrew Lang In Iongman's Magazine.
No romance is any the worse. but far
the better, for being well written. To be
well written il must be suitably written,
and the style which is excellsnt for a So
Der, delicate, scientific story is not so ex-
cellent for q tale OF adventure. Even the
novel-publishing newspapers. as long rs
they get their weekly allowance of incl
dent. do not grumblc, probably because
the language is good. Its excellence.
however, depends on the matter. Elegant
and rhythmic English and dainty and
prolonged descriptions are not in place i'm
novel Of romance; they cease to he in
place as soon as the separate charm of
the style becomes a rival TO the inter
est of the story. A drama may have
too much wit, though this is an uncommon
fault, and a story, too, is marred when the
attention, instead of being concentrated
on the action, Is claimed by the manner OF
the narration. Even in tales of analysis
and science, one often sees that the au-
thor has paused and nibbled at his pen,
while he sought the hest, or rather the
most unexpected, word. This is actually
frequent vice in modern, especially, per-
haps, American, novels which aim
at style. There are some readres who prefer
these Interruptions aud delays; they think
u ON proofs of delicacy and exquisite care.
This appears to me to be fault in any
one is forced 10 stop and read
again and again some passage
for the extraordinary, astonishing
beauty of its manner. But we may be
sure that Shakespeare did not stop as he
wrote and worked the thing up; Shakes
peare who never "blotted line" Of
course passages may be "worked up"

ample, there is a beautiful sentence in
one of Izaak Walton's Lives" which
reads in Its ample brevity as il il were
quite spontaneous. But several rough
copies of il, none of them good, are found
on fly leaf of book which had been in
the possession OF lzaak.
The error is to employ a research i'm
style. which is inappropriate and tardy.
This is as much the fault of some good
novels i'm the way OF analysis as reck-
lessness OF taste. and even of grammar, is
the fault of some books of adventure.
persons, the fault i'm the
former class appears merit.
When Mr.. Stevenson, in his admirable
master of Bailantrae," makes the old
Scotch steward talk about "the lurching
reverbrations of the freight" he drops,
for once, into thu error of style which is
too often recognized as an excellence. Al
all events the business of ''heredity," as
in NJ. Zola's long series of romances, can
never. probably, be much admired by
more than a passing fashion. Heredity is
much too fieeting and peculiar in ITS
manifestations to he seized scientifically.
IL is about as manageable as hypnotism,
which is scientific. too, more or less, and
is overworked and tedious. But novel
of herediiy is usually thought scientific,
while a novel of hypnotic influence is
thought romantic. They are abou,
equally scientific and equally transient.

PROCTOR KNOTT.
A Good story About the Kentucky Con

4 Good story About the Kentucky Con-
gresham.
Many stories are told about Proctor
Knott's career i'm the house. He was un-
doubtely one of the brightest men who
ever came To congress from Kentucky.
HIS Duluth speech reads almost like an
inspiration. He is as ready with his pencil
as his tongue. He Is born artist ms well
as born orator. The light and shade In
his drawings equal the light and shade in
his speeches. In long and wearisome de-
bates he amused himself by stretching his
arms over his desk and sketching scenes
In the house. He could take pen and
ink photograph in three minutes that
would be recognized by every member on
the floor.
In the Forty-fourth Congress he had the
well known Jim Mckenzie as colleague.
Jim is full as bright as Proctor Knott, but
lacks Knott's artistic gift with the pencil
One day i'm n dull debate, Knott stretched
a little pond surrounded by fence. The
pond was filed with ducks. He drew a
jackass, whose head was stretched over
the fence looking at the ducks.
He had ha rdly finished the sketch when
a little page came down the aisle. The
boy caught glimpse OF the picture. The
pages were always eager To secure Mr..
knott's drawings.
"Ob. please, Mr.. Knott" said this lad.
"may have that sketch? ?n
"Yes. my boy" the Kentucky congress-
man replied. you're welcome 10 IT,"
The boy thanked Mr.. Knott and rushed
down the aisle with the sketch in his
hand. As he nearcd its mouth Jim Me-
kenzie caught his arm and said:
Here! What's that? Let's see what
you've got"
The boy passed him the sketch. He

patch 70 the Giobe-Democrat. The first
appearance af tho owls was noticed by
one Of Mr.. Mayors sons, who In romping
about the barn discovered q nest OF the
young birds. There were no larger owls
in sight, and the boy made one OF the ow-
lets captive and carried IL TO the house.
His mother compelled him 10 restore II 10

the others than one Of the older birds APP
peared and attacked him furiously, beat

scratching him with its claws and bill at

arms, the lad ran away. The owl left
him at the barn door. That afternoon

Since then the owls have taken COM

At Stoney Ford, OH the famous stock

bulls were pasturing In different fields,
one on one side of the WAIKIKI river and
one OH the other side. There had been a

one of the bulls took position ON the

This was quickly answered by the Hol-

A FEArHERED RAT-cATcHER.
A Pennsylvania Farmer who Keeps a
Hawk tn XIII Rodents.

A Pennsylvania Farmer who Keeps a
Hawk to XIII Rodents.
Farmer Isaac N. Baldwin OF Elk Hill,
Susquehanna county, found q large hem
hawk in his cellar one morning in April,
says Scranton, Pa, correspondent OF
the New York Sun. II had entered through
narrow window on the back side of the
house, and II was perched on an apple
rack when Farmer Baldwin first saw il.
In one of its talons the bird was holding a
large rat with firm grip. The rat was
squalling hard, and the hawk had its
neck curved and was cycling the strug-
Cling creature with evident satisfaction.
Pretty soon the rat stopped squalling, and
the hawk then grasped it with the other
claw and tore the rat i'm two parts. II
then made q breakfast Of the rat, and
when II had finished Mr.. Baldwin walked
toward II. The hawk flew over TO a po-
tato bin and alighted on the edge of it.,
but IL didn't attempt to sail out of the
window, and Mr.. Baldwin, imagining
that the bird would just as soon stay there
as not, closed the window up tight.
Rats were thick in the cellar, and for
three weeks the hawk slaughtered them
at a rapid rate. Every day Mr.. Baldwin
put panfnl of fresh water in the cellar
for the hawk TO drink, and the bird thrived
and appeared 10 be entirely contented.
frequently went down cellar TO see the
hawks catch rats, and after awhile il got
SO used to seeing them there that il didn't
seem to mind them at all.
After the hawk had been there three
weeks or SO the rats became scarce. Then
Mr.. Baldwin set wire trap in his gram
ary and caught an old settler. II was a
big and a vicious old rat, and il bit the
wires Of the trap and squealed hard to get
out. Mr.. Baldwin carried the trap into
the cellar, intending 10 liberate the rat
and let the hawk go for il.
When he got there the hawk was
half asleep. He held the trap up toward
the hungry bird, the rat squealed with
terror at sight of the hawk, and the hawk
walked right up and was ready for busi-
ness. Going TO q corner OF the cellar, fif-
teen feet from the hawk, Mr.. Baldwin
raised the trap to level with his shoulder,
and got ready to lift the lid. With It's
neck stretched out at full length, the
eager hawk watched every movement of
the squealing rat from its perch. Il was
prepared TO spring at an instants notice,
and Mr.. Baldwin quickly opened the trap.
The rat made jump for freedom and the
II before Il touched the floor. For mo-
ment the rat squealed louder than ever
and tried TO bite the hawk, but the bird
handled II as though il was a plaything,
flying up to its perch before the rat was
dead.
Several more rats were caught I'm the
barn and let loose i'm the same way, aud
not once did the hawk fail to grab one
before II had reached the cellar bottom.
After spell the fun got TO be stale and
few days ago Mr.. Baldwin killed the
hawk with clloroform and il having a
Scranton taxidermist stuff its skin.
