BliXt's Confession,


Engineer Ilixt was arrested md con-
fined in IL cell in the Central Police Sta
ton, away from all intrlders. After be-
ing subjected to the sweating process
BliNt confessed that he fired the fatal
shot himself. lie says that Hayward had
persuaded Miss Cling that green goods
could be easily circulated through the
medium of her business as n dressmaker.
and she, having always had an insane
idea to get rich easily, fell in with the
idea. The night of the murder Hayward
told her that he had arranged for her
to meet a green goods" dealer on the
outskirts of the city. They started off
on the ride together. About twelve blocks
from the Ozark flats they met Blixt. Hay
ward induced her to let Blixt drive her
to the place of meeting. with the assur-
ance to her that he would himself follow
Immediately in another buggy and be
present ut the meeting. Blixt then drove
the woman out to the old Excelsior road.
and called her attention to Il passing OBJ
ject. AS she turned her head to look out
of her side of the buggy he shot her. The
body was then thrown out by the side of
the road. Hayward, instead of following
BliXt and Miss Cling, returned to the
Ozark flats, and afterward went to the
theatcr with the daughter of a prominent
Minneapolis attorney.

An Evil Tendency in Modern Fiction.
A great deal is now being said about
the modern school of fiction in con-
tradisr notion to that which. although
Il may also be classed as modern,
really belonged to the past generation.
The power Of artistic fiction to charm
and please Is almost universally ac-
knowledged. but there are men and
women to-day disappearing as novel
lists who give conspicuous place to the
Sordid and the mean, who are utterly
devoid of artistic taste and whose
il CHEST aim seems to be to give us,
under the guise of fiction. essays on
all the sins in the decalOgue. Mr..
Andrew Lang. who has been admins
tering well-deserved rebuke to the
disciples of this modern school. re-
m nds us that Shakespeare did not
deal with the problems of life, save
those which are eternal. The Athe-
mans fined the author of a play on
the fall Of Miletus. because he re-
minded them of their misfortuneS. If
the authors of many dramas and
novels of to-day were to be thus pun
ished the public exchequer would be
largely enriched. Some people will
thpr advanced than the Athenians
were. but that is begging the question.
Thoughtful people of to-day have
become tired of literary skim milk
masquerading as cream. and Of So
called novels viii Il are nothing but
tracts on temperance. theology. mar
riagc. divorce. free love, hereditary
theft and other inflammatory topics.
Art is not clinic in which we have to
look upon all manner of social and
moral diseases and sores. And if it
be true. as has been asserted. that the
novel of to-day is only written for the
"young person." what must he or she
have to endure, and what can be
learned either in morals or manners?
Some one has we'll said that IA novel.

The crusaders against tobacco are

felt in duty bound. he rebuked the
