EDITOR STOREYS NOTION.

Theory on Which He RENTED n
Fine and Raised a Salary.
II was slashing copy on old Storey's
Chicago Times many years ago." said
one Of the guests at il reunion dinner.
"We had correspondent in an Illinois
town who simply would not schedule
his matter, but as he generally sent
good stuff we let him run on, slashing
his stuff to suit the exigencies of the
night. Besides, his stuff always sug-
gested good headlines, and that was
one Of Storey's hobbies.
ION one occasion the correspondent
sent up about 700 words which went
into 100, with nothing over. On the 100
words constructed headline which
was right up to the mark. The next
day I was instructed to tell the man
who made out the checks for the coun-
try correspondents to knock S. off the
correspondents pay.
"When he received his check, he
wrote to Mr.. Storey saying that under
ordinary circumstances he wouldn't
kick about the deduction, but in this
particular instance he did because the
fool headline over the item made by a
fool telegraph editor had Infatuated the
man whose name was mentioned in the
dispatch and brought on fight be-
tween him and the correspondent, the
result Of which was that the CORE
spondent was fined SIS in the police
court.
"Mr. Storey was very just man
when you got at him the right way.
He instructed the cashier to send the
correspondent the amount of the line

line wrote had caused a row. That
was his way of encouraging a head

The cattle show and fair.-Thursday
was splendid day, just such day as
was needed, badly needed-by the thirsty
earth and dried up streams, but decidedly
not the day needed for fairs. And 80 as
the rain was falling In torrents, the off,
GERS decided upon postponement until
Saturday. Between 10 and II O'Clock 1t
ceased raining, and quite a splinkling Of
people came into the village to attend the
fair. Saturday was better day and from
all the ''reglon round about" came the
people, until the shelf room In Central
hail was filed with wonderful and beauti
full objects and the floor more than CON-
fortably filed with gaz RS. 1t is pretty !,
snug work to get so extensive fair as
those held by our society crowded into
one day. Stafford showed a string of
town oxen with train of IS pair, and
wellington So, all fine animals. This
string of animals was a fine sight and
was led In the procession by the Coventry
brass band. The largest vegetable ex-
hibits were those OF Rev. u V Markham,

SPIRIT SLATE WRITING.

How the Mysterious Sentences Are
Prepared In Advance.
Spiritualistic slate writing, If cleverly
done, always makes marked impress
sion on magician's audience because
it utterly bales their efforts to detect
the trick. They see a small cabinet
suspended above the stage by means
of cords or ribbons. 1t has an open
front and is empty. The magician
turns it around so that every part Of
it may be seen and taps it inside and
out with his wand to show that it is
hollow.
On stand near by he has small
easel, a common school slate, a bottle
of india ink with a quill pen in it and
a few sheets of ordinary white writing
paper. All these he passes around
among the audience for examination.
Then he fixes a sheet of the paper to
the slate by means of waters, places
the slate on the easel and the easel in
the cabinet, together with the bottle of
ink, the latter having the pen still in it.
Having allowed the audience to see
the articles thus arranged in the cabi-
net, he throws large silk handker.
chief over it. Mysterious sounds are
Immediately heard, and the cabinet
shakes as If some living thing had en-
tered 1t. When the sounds and the
shaking cease, he removes the hand
kerchief, showing an inscription writ
ten in bold black letters on the paper
and the pen not in the ink bottle, but
Gvin no oF %h-
then removes the paper from the slate
and passes it around for examination,
when the writing is Immediately recog-
nized as having been done with India
ink.
The explanation of the trick is SIM
pie. The writing was done in advance
by the performer, the fluid used being
a solution Of sulphuric acid of the pur-
est quality. To make the solution so
drops of the concentrated acid are add
ed to one ounce of filtered water Writ
Ing done with this solution is invisible
until exposed to heat. When so ex-
posed, it comes out perfectly black,
looking exactly like dried India ink.
The heat is applied by means Of an
electric current running over wire with
which the slate is wound. The cords
by which the cabinet Is suspended con-
ceal copper wires, which conduct the
current to the slate Black silk threads
suitably attached enable the performer
to make the sounds in the cabinet, to
cause the cabinet to shake and to jerk
the pen out Of the ink bottle.
Several sheets of paper are prepared
in advance, each with a different in
scription, the performer telling one in
scription from another by secretly
marked pin pricks.-New York Herald.

Keeping at 1t.

There is very old but very good
story abort boy who was engaged
one winter day in putting ton of coal
into a cellar. His only implement was
a, small fire shovel. Noticing this, a
benevolent old gentleman expressed
surprise and commiseration.
"My son." said the gentleman, you
surely do not expect to put in all that
coal with that little shovel?"
ooh, yes, do" replied the boy cheer
fully. Cali have to do is to keep at
it."
There is lesson in this story for
young and old, and it is exemplified in
the lives Of the great men of the world.
It is a mistake to suppose that the best
work Of the world is done by people Of
great strength and many opportunities.
Excepting at it, is the secret of success

AN EXPLANATION.

II you'n make diagnosis when you're feeling sad
and dreary,
As you would with any everyday disease;
II you'll simply question science as to why you're
glum and weary
And everything seems dull and il at ease,
Perhaps you will discover, after devious calcula-
tions,
the cause of all these symptoms which appall,
And you'll smile you reflect, in spite of various
irritations
p That it's nothing but the weather after all.
You'll find sigh denoting ne her sorrow nor
contrition
A tear drops not indicative of care.
They products of the meteorological condi-
tion,
OF extra moisture that is in the air.
So perhaps it's not in reason fortunes chance to
be reviling
Or to lifcs store of happiness is small,
For when the sun comes out again, again will
be smiling;
It's nothing but the weather after all.

1t Is well known that when a plant
grows in shady places it is likely to
have greater leaf area than when 1t
grows in the open sunshine. 1t must
have a larger surface to collect the
light when the latter is comparatively
dim. Now, most of the goldenrods live
in the open fields. having rather mar
row leaves. but the exquisite elm leaved
goldenrod lives in woods and copses,
where the shadows are thick and di-
rect sunshine Is fleeting thing. And
so we find that this species has the
broad. thin leaves of shade plant
leaves with well developed stems, but
otherwise so similar to those Of the
elm tree as to give this goldenrod its
distinctive name. But It gives touch
of color to the somber shades Of the
