Miss Yaws press agent recently made a
good hit. Miss Yaw viii be remembered
here as the young woman who is alleged
to be able to sing half dozen or so notes
higher than Path or anybody else can
reach. The other day a dispatch told
how. when she was singing at Bingham
ton. NJ ", and was reaching for the high
notes. her jugular vein burst and she
bled TO death in fun sight of the audience
A later report, however, tells that Miss
Yaw is reaching the high notes nightly,
with jugular vein unimpaired, and In good
order for future advertising purposes.
DR.. Jenkens made a good point before the
Florida tobacco growers convention when
he insisted that quality should be set
above quantity. There is Always a wait

good in the case of nearly every other

CALLERS AND OFFICE-SEEKERS.
General Harrison Suggests Plan for
the Relief of the President.

Ex-President Harrison gives most
interesting pen picture of "A Day With
the President at His Desk in the La
dies Home Journal" The article is
unique, as being the first written by a
President of life in the White House,
an in describing the routine of a Chief
Executive. A feature that he treats
with directness relates to the Presi-
dents Interruptions from callers and
office seekers. 1t is a rare good for
tune" he writes. during the early
months Of an administration If the
President gets one wholly uninterrupt-
ed hour at his desk each day The
Presidents time is so broken into bits
that he is often driven to late night
work, or to set up a desk in his bed
room when preparing q. message or
other paper requiring unbroken atten-
ton. L only want five minutes and
if he were the only one it could be
spared; but his double is at his heels,
and the urgent public business is post
poned or done at night with a jaded
mind 1t may be said that untimely
visitors should be excluded, and so they
should; hut thoughtfulness on their
part would be a cure without a smart -
Regarding the office seekers persist
ency in having personal interviews
with the President, General Harrison
asserts that they advance their cause
but little if at all. But the feeling
that something is or may be gained by
a personal interview prevails, and for
the first year and a half of an admins
tration the President spends from four
to six hours of each day talking about
things he will not have to act upon for
months, while the things that ought
TO be done presently are hurtfully post
poned.
IF the President could make up and
publish an appointment docket. and
notify all persons having anything to
say in a particular case to draw near
on a fixed day, it would result in a
great saving of time all around and a
great saving of money to the appli-
cants. who could remain at home until

Popular authors are not content with
flooding the literary market with their
novels. a new craze has set in. Now
il is the vogue for every recognized au-
thor to dramatize, or have dramatiZed,

this fad become that it threatens to
become permanent one.
In the days when Uncle Toms Cab

sort of literary carpenter scarcely
worthy OF mention. The plots of stand

Now. things are different. The author
and adapter come in for an equal share
of praise.
The present craze or boom of the
staged novel started with Robert Ste

This was very successful. partly on
account of the subject matter and part
ly owing TO the admirable acting of
that versatile artist Richard Mansfield.
1t was never good play. either in con-
struction or literary merit but it gave
the actor an opportunity to make a
mysterious change before the audience
and in turn gave the audience the
creeps.
Mrs Frances Hodgson Burnett next
tried the experiment with an adapta-
tion OF her Little Lord Fauntleroy. -
and by adroit advertising managed to
create a furore, and for two seasons
the country was overrun with Little
Lord Faur.tleroys." The royalties and
percentages which she received were
quite a pretty penny and wavering
authors new fell in line. The public
has suffered ever since.
There have been but few real sue
cesses. many successes of esteem, and
great many more failures. The fever

new manager of Drury Lane Theater,
London, has succeeded in obtaining a
lease of forty years from the Duke of

the demolition of the famous old house

Among the hundreds of novels issued
by the publishing houses within the

are destined to live, which SHOW gem
uine creative power? We have novels
of adventure, novels of realism, sensa-
tIonal novels melodramatic novels and
novels with a purpose-all pouring
forth in a steady stream. Mediocrity
seems to be keeping up a neck-and-
neck run with talent. The latest ro-

Hawkins, Stanley Weyman, Gilbert
Parker-Who remembers them after
casual reading or believes that they
will live for posterity? 1t seems as if
the whole field of fiction is degenerat-
ing into a trade.
The author plies his pen as the arti-
san wields his tool, and for the same
reason. The more work he turns out
the larger the remuneration. He is not
influenced by consideration of the
quality he sends out, but the number
he can manage to place.
All of our new authors" seem to be
working on the axiom that
There is a tide in the affairs of men
Which, taken at its flood, leads on to
fortune.
AS soon as they begin to attract at

are SO fearful lest they may be put

work, short stories and mediocre nov
