AQulItIS OF huuydfu hlpllnE Will soon
have an opportunity to read a new short
story from his pen. Two Tales of
December oath 60 be issued December
20th) viii print a characteristic tale by
! Mr. kipling entitled "Mv Lord the
Elephant" The story will be another Of
the inimitable Mulvancy's "reminiscences
and is told with all that individuals
characteristic humour Moreover, Orthe-
ris supplies from his own experience the
incidents necessary TO round out the
story-incidents that happened while
! Mulvaney was in the hospital There
can be no doubt of the truth of Null
vaney's and Ortheris's statements
at theaend Of the narration they are
vouched for by the matter Of fact
| Lemoyd. Still, il was an amazing feat
that Mulvaney performed. He, himself
appreciated this, for he says, in regard
TO it: 81 came not to speak av ut at the
last bekase-bekase / do not care TO
knock the face av ivry man that calls me
a liar
''Of the many uses to which photo
| graphy has been put, probably that of
using IL as a means of forming an H.
Illustrated diary is the most novel 1t is
said that a certain millionaire is always
accompanied by a quiet looking man
who carries q small square case, and
hovers around in a seemingly sus Jicious
way. But he is q most important indi-
| vidual, and receives a ha ndsome salary
for his services IL is his duty to take
a series of instantaneous photographs,
showing how his employer has passed
the day. There is no posing or anything
of the sort and the photographer has to
use his own judgement in choosing
which moments TO represent. We need
hardly point ont what possibilities this
opens mp, and really a most interesting
and instructive history of mans life
could thus be formed 1t is true not all
OF us can afford TO employ photographer
to take us about dozen times a day,
but If we ourselves always carried a
hand camera and shot oil at things and
places of interest which we come across
in every day life, we could make an
interesting record which in years TO come
would be of value If only TO remind us
more vividly Of the past. Outing for
January.
The latest story from the gifted pen
of w. II. Ballou is under the title of
"Spectaculor Romances Mr.. Ballou
has arrived at that stage of his career
where he cannot afford to issue book
that is not up to the standard of his
reputation. Referring TO former work
the New Orleans Daily States says MIR.
Ballou Is TO be thanked for the very
handsome manner In which he speaks Of
Louisiana Creoles: Of the social and COM
mercial advantages of New Orleans
of the magnifcence of our Mardi
Gras pageauts and the superb
ness of our carnival bells, of the chivalry,
the hospitality and beauty of the South
land and the future of New Orleans, of
which he is by no means stranger and
/ to which he win be welcomed when he
2 chooses to come again.
