Bad Story Telling.

If Oscar Wilde $ assumption were to 6e taken seriously, that all fiction is ly- ing, 1t might account for much that af1iiets readers, since the lack of morale affects the intellect, and what is done without conscience k apt to be done badly. Of course all fiction is not lying. as all killing is not murder. but it is a sad fact that many writers of nooels and short stories seem to have left their eonscienees and much of their brains behind when they go forth to yorl-as if these belongings might safely remain i'll seclusion, with the dress coat and the white tie, to be brought out only for especial occasions. Artemus Ward once remarked that he had giant mind, but did not have 1t with him, and that (or the latter half of it1 is apt to be the case with any of us when we are care less. True, even good Homer sometimes nodded, but this affords no example for us who are not Homers. To come to our tasks otherwise than with all our wits about Us and invite public attention to the chance oozings of our brains Is as if one should issue from his apart ments unshorn and half clad CT enter upon the busy haunts of men without money in his pocket Frederic NJ.

5 Remove Danger of
 Y ' Yer stAeading.

sfkansas Stats board of
 h met this morning and raised
 s quarantine all over the State as was established by it by abroeating the order issued last week. This was done on account of the preva- lence of frost throughout the South and the prospective decimation of Yellow Jack on that account. The State Board has no control over the city boards, but it is expected that they will follow the action of that body. A large number of smaller cities have already raised their quarantines.
 There were heavy frosts at Mem phis and other points along the Mis- sissippi valley last night, and this will materially lessen the rayages of Yellow Jack. Another heavy frost tonight will effectually check it's progress, and those who have studied the situation confidently as sert that all danger or cause for alarm has passed. The Memphis Scimitar yesterday gave the follow ing summary of the situation:
