NEW STORIES ARE SCARCE.
Henry Watterson Explains Why
 There is a Famine.

Tim Murphy, the actor, and Henry Watterson. the editor, met in the cor ridor of a Washington hotel the other day.
 What is your latest story?" the &C., tor asked.
 "No such thing as new story now" growled WatterSon. Tt is impossible to keep q story good for two daye. Whats the use of thinking up new sto- ries wher they get spread all over the country between daylight and dawn |? Why. sir. do you know why 1t is i'm possible to keep a god story as your own property? It's these blank tele- graph operators. who like good stories better than anybody Suppose Chaun- cey Depaw has a good story in New York. He tells 1t. Some telegraph op- orators hears it and that night when things are quiet on the wire he asks the fellow at San Francisco or Denver or Timbustoo if he has heard the latest and then he ticks it off Every man along the line hears it and ticks 1t off to the fellow he is working with and by daylight the new story is the prop erty of the wide, wide world New story?

 The woman on his lefts smiled.

 Oh said the man, T sized you UT q long time ago. You carry your um. brella when it's furied, just like that woman across the streeet. You grab il in the middle and go forging ahead with the ends of the handle digging in- to the unfortunate pedestrians who gt before and the fellow after And what does that signify?" asked the woman on the left.
 "Alertness, activity, selfishness, and nconsiderateness."
 "Um-m-." said the woman, But just look at the third woman in the procession" said the man. "l pity the men folks about her house I'll warrant they have to get their own breakfast about six mornings out oi seven. I never yet saw woman whu dragged her umbrella along so that you could track her by the treil of the tip who wasn't dilatory and shiftless. She never sews on button, or darns, or mends. and her breakfast dishes are seldom washed before o'clock.
 That other woman who is hustiing along holding the top of the umbrella handle like grim death and pointing the tip down and forward in a kind of south h-bysouthwesterly direction Is altogether different. She would set the world on fire if 1t wasn't water logged. 1 am not sure that I'd want to be mar ried to her either. She'd be too ener- getic. She'd push everything before her, and when she took g notion to heve nowhere to lay his head. What she is good for is serving on commit tees.
 That woman in the grey skirt is yea-and-nay sort of person. She wants to agree with everybody and follows wherever led Woman who carry their umbrellss with the point backward and downward are always unassertive.

She's jolly ar d good natured and gets more pleasure out of life than ten ordinary people. There's woman carrying her umbrella swung across her shoulder like a shotgun. Shes true soldier of fortune, and was never known to say die. I can't think of any thing that would feaze her"
 The man paused
 And what would you say" asked the woman. about that girl who car ries her umbrella horizontally across the small of her back and catches either end into the crook of her el- bow"
 Well" admitted the man. she Is a new one on me never met her before' but I wouldn't be afraid to wager that she Is conscientoI to a degree and has a heart as big as all outdoors.

Tt made me sick" said his dear wife, ito think of any one own ing this exquisite Kranich Bach piano, so I telephoned F.. E. Forbes to send it out.
