WOUlD-BE TRAIN ROBBERS

DENISoN, Tex, June "a An unsuccess-
ful attempt was made TO hold up a Mis-
souri,, Kansas and Texas train near String
town last night. Strange men had been
noticed prowling about the town during
the day, and it was Suspected that they
had designs on the train. The railway
officials ordered the engineer to stop at
Strugtown under no circumstances, and
when the train approached he pulled open
the throttle aud sped past at lightning
speed. One hundred yards from the sta
ton several shots were fired into the train.
Some passed through the cab and others
through the chair car, but nobody was
hurt. The train had been provided with
an armed guard, and they were put off
the train TO pursue the bandits. They ar
rested several negroes. This Is the third
attempt to hold up this train in the past
week. Ii i believed that the robbers are
after the Cherokee money which is be
lleyed to be Il transit.

METHODS OF FAMOUS AUTHORS
How Noted Writers Constructed Their
Plots ed Wrote Their Books.

Plots cd Wrote Their Books.
The methods of popular authors are
almost as interesting to the public as
the amounts of their annual earnings.
A contributor to Household Words has
written a chapter on Literary Meth
ods," which is readable, but apt TO be
disappointing if the novice turns to it
for instruction. For the WAYS of
writers are various and strangely con-
Trajectory. Some, for example, write
best in luxurious studies. some in bed.
some in prison and one or two on ex-
press trains. Some like gay surround
ings, some gloomy; some the busy stir
of men others the deepest solitude;
happy few can write anywhere and
under any conditions The ma ority
prefer the fresh morning hours for
composition, while others are at their
best in the drear hour of midnight.
Again few compose with business
like regularity, but most by fits and
starts. How is the beginner to know
which to take as a model? Com
ing to plot or construction the
same difficulty arises. Scott began
without knowing how he was TO
go on. Dumas had his novel ar
ranged TO the smallest detail be-
fore putting pen to paper. Wlkie Cot
Inns pursued an elaborate system.
Starting with central idea" he pro-
ceeded backward and forward. arrang-
ing and harmonizing parts without
any heed to serial division or to book
publication. He was most particular
about a good beginning and a good
end, policy that doubtless won him
many readers. Like Balzac, he correct
ed and recorrected, sometimes having
as many as six different proofs of
novel. Zola shows the same con-
scientiousness and is rewarded by
sale of one hundred thousand copies OF
a new work. 4 lucky novelist here and
there. like Mr. PAW or Mr. Stevenson,
gets good plot in dream and has no
difficulty in the matter. But it is not
safe 10 rely on dreams. On the point
OF style there is the same tantalizing
diversity. Flaubert urged his pupil,
Guy de Maupassant, to be original at
all hazards; the advice was taken,

Midway Plaisance into smithereens. An
other man wants TO take his cane and his
umbrella along, but Is required to leave
them behind The other day dude from
the east carried his cane up with him, and
accidentally dropped it at q height OF 500
feet. The stick fell within a few feet of
one of the employees of the pork, and would
have hurt him seriously had it struck his
person.
As soon as the side lines are cut loose the
air-ship begins to show its impotence to
be off and Mr. Allier loses no time in Civ
ing the signal to the engineer TO let go OF
the drum. The balloon starts upward with
a motion so easy. so gentle that at first the
passengers are not aware of the fact that
they are moving at all. When they dis
cover it they look down and the earth APP
pears to be dropping away from them. AT
first there is more or less nervousness. A
Young woman aboard shows signs of hyste-
ria, now laughing inordinately, and now
shrinking close to the arms of her escort.
But in moment the magnificent pano-
rama of Chicago-the exposition, the sur
rounding parks and boulevards and Lake
Michigan with its fleet Of steamers and
yachts-comes in view With each passing
minute it becomes more vivid, more en-
trancing. The passengers are beside them
selves with joy They havenever before be
held such spectacle. All thought ofthem-
selves is at once taken away. There is 10
more fear or squeamishness. Self-con-
sciousness is utterly destroyed. There is
nothing to do but to look and look at the
magnificent picture and vainly TO attempt
the use of adjectives that will do it justice.
From this height OF 6e0 or s0Ofeet the ex-
position is the prettiest sight of all Great
as it is, everything in it with single ex
ception seems small at this altitude, and
the exception is the leviathan Manufac-
lures building 1t looks larger, If possible,
than from any other point of view, rising
tremendously into the landscape. The
state buildings remind one OF children's
play-houses set in a garden Of green. The
cameo-like dome of the Administration
building is a silver thimble resting in a
level box The people moving To and fro
ia large numbers between the buildings
are streams of dark faid, in which all in
dividuality is lost. The lagoons with their
moving craft are puddles of water in
green pasture on which flies and beetles
are navigating.
1t is curious to look down on the Plais-
ance underneath, to see the streams OF hui
manity moving to and fro, to Dote the
queer aspect of the foreign villages from
the erial perch, and. most curious Of ell,
to hear the iaTgon Of tongues, the shouts.
cries and strange music Of the assembled
Representatives Of ancient civiliz atioas, Of
savagery and Of the middle ages.
A breeze springs up and the balloon
gaiiy flies to the north and 10 the south.

Now it has flown to the other point Of the

engine in one corner Of the park. There
are also a dozen strong cords reaching from
the netting of the ship to the ground, and
the monster is thus doubly anchored. 1t is
calculated that in the heaviest storm these
methods of anchoring will hold the ma
chine to its place. Before making an ascent
a large number of bags of sand are taken
aboard, each bag weighing a hundred

in hand some means of rising above the

Aeronaut Allier gives the orders to his
men to clear away the anchoring cords.

wheat has been cut. Some localities in

the yield will average more than four or

wheat Is not wolth cutting, while a
county here and there will produce as

Ii will be three weeks before any wheat
