Max o'Rell's New Novel.

To the shrewd observer, competent
craftsman and witty raconteur like
Max O'Rell 1t probably looked an easy
task indeed to write = novel, says a
writer in the Saturday Evening Post. I,
is more than likely that he has changed
his mind; or. at least has come to reaf-
lie that 1t is harder to write good
novel than TO write one such as
Woman and Artist"
The story is, OF course. developed
with intelligence; and a sparkle OF epi-
gram cannot but show. once in q great
while. on the pages which have passed
under Max o'Rcll's pen. But the char
acters have about the nexibllity OF
ciotics-pins, the vital warmth OF pun
pets worked on wires. If they were a
little more real. the folly OF their ac-
tons would be exasperatlng; but, as 1t
IL, no reader will blame them for any
thing they do. The whole performance
Is commonplace, dull chow did Max
O'Rcll achieve dullness?) mechanical,
and lacking in psychological perception,
1t is manifestly written for the trade.
Fortunately the authors reputation Is
quite too we'll established to suffer any
serious jar from q failure In u field not
his own.

Stories of Mark TWIN.

Mark Twain. like many other notable
tiles, has been assaulted with the ques-
tlon Of what books have influenced him.
says the Golden Penny Magazine. and
to one Inquirer he replied with charac-
teristlc courtesy and humor: The
books that have, most influenced my
life? With pleasure. This Is the list:
Innocence Abroad 'Roughlng IT,
3.Huckleberry Finn Prince ana Pau
per- Tom Sawyer Yankee ut the
Court of King Arthur. Personal Rrmi-
nlscenccs OF Joan of Arc. pudd'nhead
Wilson, Following the Equator. ane
the publications OF the late firm OF
Charles L. Webster s: CO.
Another correspondent, who was evil
IDENTIFY anxious that the books which
had influenced Mark should influence
her. wrote requesting him 10 send her
some OF his books for sale at church
bazar. Clemens complied with her re-
quest, and instructed his publishers In
the following terms: "Piease charge G..
against me, and for the same send me
several OF my books, making discoun:
to me that Will make the 60 80 rs far

some Of my books to sell TO the godly.
Ishave assured her that the same shall
be done, I being rather down on the
cody, though l did not tell her that"
Nor In his distress does his humor for
sake him. When the reporters crcu-
lated the story that Mark Twain was
dying In poverty in London, he OBJ
served gravcly. Yes, ] am dying-ot
course. ! am dying, But DO mot know
