Reading 3 Library to Write Ono Novel.
The amount Of labor that goes to
the making of good historical novel
is rather deterrent to the writer of fic-
ton who. Is used to turning out reRu-
larly two novels a year. It is so much
easier to make over again, with little
imagination, the characters and incl
dents that one has picked up in the
ordinary course. of life and travel.
Thackeray somewhere tells Of the tre-
mendous amount Of reading that went
into the caldron before "Esmond" was
brewed. And little while ago an
aged librarian related his surprise at
the research the great novelist carried
on, month after month, in his accum,-
lation Of historical details. A whole
chapter could be written in the time
devoted to verifying a detail of cos
tune or the turn Of an antique phrase
Moreover, the historical novelist real
ICES that he is taking this tremendous
amount Of pains for a very few peo-
pie: that hardly one in thousand Of
his readers cares for more than the
skill with which he tells the story
But. that enc is the man who will tell
the next generation. with authority.

Dominiques. Similarity in plumage
Of the American Dominique and
Barred Plymouth Rock has been the
price Of the formers popularity. Their
color is grayish-white. each feather
regularly crossed with parallel bars Of
blue-black. producing the effect of q
bluish-tinged plumage. the color being
the same throughout. The illustra-
ton Of Barred Plymouth Rock feath-
ers will do equally well for the mark
ings Of the feathers Of the Dominique.
They have rose combs. in both male
and female. and bright yellow legs.
Those who are partial to their color
of plumage will find the Dominique q
good bird to keep. They are good lay
ers. hardy, mature early, and dress
well for the table. The standard
weight Of cocks is 81s pounds: hens,
611 pounds; cockerels. ~ pounds; and
pullets, 51z pounds.

SOARING WOLVES 1Y YELLING
Tho Young Mans Fierce Yells Were
Effective.

Tho Young Mans Fierce Yells Were
While on his way to Craig and when
about ten miles from town John W.
Lowell. Jr.. had an unpleasant EXPORT
ence with three gray wolves which
ought to be sufficient for one day, says
the Craig, Colo, Courier.
Mr.. Lowell noticed the wolves in the
distance. but paid no attention to them
until after he had travelled about a
mile. when his horse became uneasy.
Looking back Mr.. Lowell beheld q
sight which. as he says, caused mis- hat
to raise not trife-three large gray
wolves about 200 yards distant were
charging after him at speed which
would soon bring them up with him.
There was not moment to spare, and
the young man hardly knew what to
do. He was unarmed. and the snow
was 80 deep that it was impossible for
his horse to run from the ferocious
beasts with any degree of success.
Mr.. Lowell quickly decided that he
had but one chance. and that was to
attempt to bluff. Wheeling his horse
around. facing the wolves, he applied
the quirt, and at every jump of his
steed he let forth a yell that would
have put any Comanche to shame. For
moment the bluff seemed failure,
for the wolves continued to approach
and the distance between the horse
man and the shaggy creatures lessened
to about so yards when the turn in af-
fairs occurred.
Finally. after a few more plunges in
the snow by the horse and numerous
yells from the thoroughly frightened
young man the wolves suddenly turned
and ran in an, opposite direction.
Mr.. Lowell followed his lead with
renewed vigor and more whoops, and
If any one in the lower country should
see three badly scared wolves running
westward 1t may be depended upon that
they are the identical ones which
threatened the safety of the son Of our
state auditor.
