se Tells Impractical Aspirants How te
Construct Story.
Waller Besant's advice to the MANY
candidates for fame and fortune by way
of fiction who write him is to read and
to study some good story well told. The
best way to study the story is to have ii
told to you beforehand, and the illustra.
ton he gives is a true story concerning
an antiquary and Shakespeare student.
In the year 1885 the town was astonished
by the production at the shop Of the an
tlquary Of various documents and papers
written by Shakespeare himself. There
were receipts, a confession of faith, an
improved edition Of ssKing Lear" and
finally complete new play in manu-.
script. Everybody went mad about
these things. Half the world refused to
believe them; the other half declared
that they must be genuine. Finally the
play was produced by Sheridan at Drury
Lane and was promptly Kissed off the
stage. Then the dealers son confessed
that he alone was the forger of all these
documents. The father died soon after.
partly of chagrin at the ruin of his sup
posed treasures.
Around this outline Mr.. Besant advises
his ambitious friends to write story.

two principal characters. "You must
he says, 'sshow the enthusiasm of the old
man for everything that concerns Shake
speare. In order to do this you must
take him to Stratford.f You must sur
round him with other Characters, real or
imaginary. You mayintroduce him to
any antiquary or literary character of
the day. Since the play was produced
at Drury Lane you may take us behind
the scenes and introduce us to actors and
actresses. You must acquire the man.
ners and customs and dress and language
Of the time. The construction Of your
story is the first thing. Draw portrait
of every character Make out as for a
play scenario showing every incident.
Remember net to introduce single in
cident or word Of dialogue that draws
the readers attention aside for a mo-
ment.
The grip Of your story is the first
thing to be studied. There Is plenty Of
grip in this if you know how to tackle
it. | suppose what follows will be
thought too hard condition. 1t is &C.
tually to write that story. For length,
I advise you to be shorter than prac-
ticed hand would allow. Make it story
of about 90 chapters, averaging from
5000 to 1000 words each, but don't try to
write up to any limit or length. / have
always thought that the longest Of Dick.
ems shorter stories-about 12 chapters
of that lengths the best that could be
chosen.
"When you have actually written your
story-and not till then-you may read
James Payn's Talk OF the Town and
SEQ how that story ought to be told.
And if you viii take all this trouble you
will find that you have learned more
than if you had gone to work with a
headlong pen and written half dozen
wishy washy attempts at the same time"

Word was received in this city yester-
day that Mr.. jain Sinclair, who was for
SO many years baggage master at the
Grand Trunk, was dangerously sick on
the steamer in Boston, ion which he had
just arrived from Scotland. Mr.. Sin
clair resigned his position at the Grand
Trunk about year ago. and several
months ago went back to his old home
in Scotland on visit. His son left yes
terday for Boston, but from the tenor of
the despatch received he thought it very
doubtful if he found his father alive.

After repeated opportunities of ma

pardoned ex-Treasurer Isaac HI. Vim
cent. Vincent was sentenced to fifteen
years in the penitentiary for embez-
zling S2l5,O00 of the State funds of
Alabama, and had served six. The
pardon was granted because Vincent is
slowly dying of consumption, but the
Governor felt called upon to write a
very long explanation in justification
of his exercise of the pardoning power.
The friends of ex-Treasurer Heming-

over one hundred thousand dollars
more than Vincent, was sentenced for
five years and has not yet served three,

He is an Englishman, of fine appear
ance, a good preacher and christian
gentleman and comes in good cause.
He will have fine audiences. The choir
will put it's best foot foremost and both
saint and sinner will give Bro. Oakley
cordial reception, and not stone

she have it ? Well, no not as any
will not be preached in simplicity and
power and earnestness not that God
is not willing to save the people of this
town; but there are certain environ
ments to religion and certain partner
ships with the church in Kosciusko
that make it just as impossible for God
was for Jesus to do mighty works in
the people. Israel could not prosper
until the beautiful Babylonish gar
ment and the golden wedge were found
and destroyed. When Christ went in
to the Temple at Jerusalem with his
whip in hand and drove out the money
changers, He said, take these things
hence, for it is written MY house

so long as the church is a partner to
crime, or the thing that leads to crime
more than any other one thing, just so
long will she reap what she sows. Just
so long as the church love liquor and

more than the suffering Son of God,
and prefers the former to the salvation
of their children, just that long will

INSCRIPTIONS party bosses to be vot
ed like sheep, with no discriminating
intelligence of their own-and to in
crease the number Of such ignorant
voters. is simply to Increase the power
of the bosses.
To ro-enact the old election laws,
placing ignorance on the same footing
at the ballot box with intelligence,
would be to reopen the race question,
invite return to the same wicked and
disgraccful political methods which
our esteemed contemporary so justly
denouuces. or else the negro vote would
simply become the basis for election
frauds by the machine Democracy, as
it did in Alabama last year.
No good citizen can afford to put
premium on ignorance. The hope of
redemption for this country from all
the political difficulties which environ
it is an honest, intelligent ballot.
