A NOvELIsT's BLUNDER.
Forgot That He Ye2 killed on a
CharADterI

A great master of the art Of
throwing off stories by daily in
stallments was Ponson du Terrail.
When be was at tie height of his
vogue, he kept three running at
the same time in different papers.
His fertile imagination was never
at n loss, but his memory fire.
quently was. He was apt to for
get today what he did with a hero
or heroine yesterday.
To help his memory he at first
noted down briefly in copy books
what happened to his men and
women, but finding that often he
could lot read his own writing he
invented new system. He pro.
cured little leaden figures, on
which he gnmmed the names of
his characters as they were born.
Surprising there were three stories
running, there were three sets of
figures in different drawers. When
a character was settled man or
woman in lead was taken away
from its companions and laid
aside.
One day when Ponson du Ter
rail was all behind in his work .
= he set himself to his task without
examining the slain. His bad
memory led him into terrible
blunder. He had forgotten that
he had killed kocambole-the
still famous Rocam bole-in the
previous feuilleton, and, to the
great surprise of the reader, he
made him talk again as if nothing
out of the common had befallen
him. This resuscitation of Ro-
cambole is one of the most curious
things in the history of the TO
mans-feuilleton. = Boston Tran,

Methods Employed That Would Have
Delighted Bsrnum.
"What is the secret of the i'm
,portance and influence of the
London Times2" 1 asked pro-
minent M. P. who is spending
few weeks in this country.
"The mystery that surrounds
the authorship of the articles on
its editorial page" was the re-
ply. Nobody except the editor
in-chief knows who writes for the
Times. It has no staff occupy
ing desks in editorial rooms like
the ordinary newspaper, but its
articles are all written on the
outside. The editor. in-chief sends
the important topics Of the day
to different persons, who furnish
the leaders. Many of them are
gratuitous; the rest are paid for
by the column, the rate varying
according to the importance OF
the writer. There is a public inn
preston that all the leaders in the
Times are written by the great
men in the British empire, and
when subscriber of the Times
opens the damp sheet in the
morning be always looks first al
the editorial page instead of the
news columns, as he does with
the other papers, and as you dc

WILL wED A TITLED LADY.
So Gossip Says About w. w.
Aston.

Aston.
NEW YORK, Dec. 17.-William
Waldorf Astor, not satisfied with
being unamerican in everything
else, will take to himself an Eng
lish wife. Not only that, but she
is said to be young woman OF
title fro QUE of the oldest fami-
lies in England, as well as rich
and beautiful. The sponsor for
the story is Modern Society, a
society sheet of London.
The lady's name Is not givens
but the same newspaper Is author
ity for the statement that the
happy event will take place
shortly-as soon as the English
term of mourning has expired.
Perhaps it is only fair play that
some of our millionaires should
marry into the nobility and
| gentry.
However, it is not the first time
that this has occurred, one of the
Roosevelts some years ago having
married a titled woman in Eng
land, and Alfred Montgomery Of
Louisiana, a cousin of the Phila-
delphia and Trenton families q
that name, having done likewise.
In his case his name was changed
into De Montgomerie.
Gossip says that Mr.. Astor will
at once be made a British subject,
and perhaps be knighted after a
career in Parliament, as Sir Ash
mead Ba1tlett-Coutts has been,
thus making tive American men
of title among the blue blood Of
English aristocracy.

only after long years OF de-

probable, where il the guar
antee that thisinhibltioh will

that the authority OF t h q
