There is an unusual scarcity CT short
stories, and the market, SO to speak. is
strong. Editors of New York magazines
declare that they cannot obtain a sufH-
cient amount OF this form of literature
for their publications. and one Boston
editor has even had to: send circulars to
all the writer's he knows asking them for
the privilege Of examining whatever short
stories they, produce. Among the short
stories written now.day, the tditors find
that the love motif is not 50 general as
they would like. They are snots sure
whether this i, a. pose Of cynicisn,, or
wether other influences than love are

.oDEs OF HORACE. Edited by Benja-

His Speeches and Letters. The Cen
tu1y Company. New York.
From the Century Company come two
xquisite little books, respectively entitled

and are in every way triunlphs of good
taste. They are vest-pocllet size. and
make beautiful presents without calling
100 heavily on the resources OF the donor
rhe first of the volumes contains the
Odes of Horace trans ated from the Latin
by various authors. and selected and
edited by Benjamin E. Smith. Mr. Smith
has displayed excellent judgment in
choosing the best-thoush not always the
most Notwithstanding OF tho we'll
known odes, and the result is a. volume
which will give to cultured readers equal
pleasure in contents and appearance. The
scond volume that entitled Lincoln,
contains selections from the speeches and
letters Of the great President, and here
also the matter Of choice has been ad
miraf4ly done. There is also an intro
duction by Richard Watson Glider, which
will enhance the value Of the volume IN
many eyes. In both cases. however. it
is the beauty OF the appearance OF tho
volume rather than it's letter-press which
appeals to US, since there are many books
concerning Lincoln, as there are many
editions of Horace, and in both cases
other volumes of greater size may con-
tain more of interest than do these little

NEW HAVEN WALLOPED MERIDEN
 TO THE TUNE OF13 TO5.

"Cy" Ferry, the Great Tvvirler, Hit to n
 stnndstilI-A Home Run and Fifteen | Great Game-Other Games. | The New Haven team gave Pitcher "Cy" Ferry an awful drubbing on the savin Rock grounds yesterday after noon, and won an easy victory, the score at the end of the contest stand- ing 13 to in favor of Manager Cana vans players. The Meriden twirler, who was the mainstay of his team in the box all summer, was hit for fifteen safe ones. These hits included a home run by Canavan to right center, and a terrific smash for three bases by Braun. Canavan and Bone also got in two baggers.
 Perry started In wilder than a green colt. He sent Bone, the first man up to first base on called balls, and OBrien made a clever sacrifice on which the New Haven shortstop reach ed second. Then Fitzmaurice made a single. Ramon was hit in the left arm by one of Ferry's wide ones, and Captain Canavan came along with 8 timely single.
 Ferry was wilder than ever and sent Roger Connor to first base on four bad ones. Luchia struck out, and Braun sent his triple to left center. Hanafin hit safe, and Bone reached first base on Moves error. OBrien ended the inning by driving grounder at Thei- sen. When the score had been made up for this inning it was found that the Blues had sent six men across the plate.
 They made another in the second in ming, and then broke loose on Ferry's curves in the third, when four more runs were sent over the plate. Just to keep the fun going the New Havens went after Ferry again in the sixth and two more runs were added to the total. No more runs were scored by the home team.
 In the meantime young Hanafln, the pony pitcher from Winsted, was doing we'll He didn't seem to exert himself very much and always held the oppos- ing batsmen at safe distance. He kept the ten hits secured by the visi- tors well scattered and was cool at the most critical moments. Meriden scored one run in the second, fourth and seventh innings and two more in the ninth. The Blues played a fast game, and the way they hammered Fer"Y's cures yesterday and those of Durnbaugn the day before is strong proof that they have regained their batting eyes for the last lap of the sea- son.
