The following confession of a novel
ist as to the method In which he wrote
one of his books is not without inter-
est. He had had the story outlined In
his notebook for long time and ought
to have been able to write 1t, but did
not feel able. Then one day he hap
pened to think of 1t again and saw, al
most as IL il had been a stage scene,
the little tableau with which the book
was to close-one of those ends which
are also n beginning. So he began to
work and in short time had complet-
ed the first three chapters. Then. for
no reason that he can give, there was
jump, and he wrote the chapters which
are now numbered XXI and XXII, the
last in the book Then he went back
and wrote straight on from " to XVII.
The story had been with him so long
that 1t was the easiest thing in the
world TO write it, and so he got through
this part of the work with remarkable
celebrity. In the eighteenth chapter
nothing happens. Every day for a
fortnight he rose, breakfasted and tried
to write that chapter; every night he
tore up big pile of manuscript which
he knew to be hopelessly bad. Then
he got desperate. The chapter should
be written and should stand, whether
good or bad He wrote it and left the
house because it was bad and he had
resolved not TO tear 1t up. Next day
he wrote chapter XIX, and on the NOR
row he rewrote chapter XVIII and
somehow or other contrived to get into
1t all that he had failed to get before.
Then he wrote chapter XX, and the
book was completed.-London Post.

ObeyPd Orders.

An old Yorkshire farmer was walk
ing out one day looking very glum and
miserable. He was a typical York
shireman, and he dearly loved joke.
But jokes seemed long way off just
then, and the old man was thinking
deeply when he was accosted by q
tramp, who made the usual request for
a nights lodgings and something to
eat, as he explained he had had moth
ing for two whole days. The effect
upon the farmer when he said this was
magical.
"Why, man." he said, "I've been look
ing for you all day"
And then without more ado he
knocked him down and walked on him
from one end to the other. The tramp
got up, looking very staggered, and
asked him why he had done that.
"Well," said he, my doctor has or
dered me to walk on an empty stomach,
and now that l have fulfilled his in
junction / can go and have good feed,
and you can come with me."-London

bathing In Salt Lake.

"Salt lake is q remarkable sheet of
water in many ways, and bathing in it
possesses features which are unique"
says Utah man. "It is very invigor-
ating and refreshing, to be sure, but it
takes some time to become accustomed
to the extraordinary buoyancy of the
water. 1t is quite impossible to sink
or to drown in the lake, but many peo-
pie have been killed by the water
When there is breeze and spray Is
dashed upon bathers. the water is so
densely impregnated with salt that the
liquid portion evaporates very quickly
and leaves deposit of salt on the skin.
ION several occasions people have
drifted out while bathing or been
wrecked and thrown overheard and aft
erward found dead on top of the water,
cholied to death by the accumulation of
salt in their mouths and nostrils."

LOVE AFFAIR OF A KING.
How Edward of England Came to Marry
Alexander of Denmark.

How the King of England came to
marry his Queen is told in a romatic
story which describes how he fell in
love first with a photograph of the
beautiful Princess OF Denmark. Later
the Prince made short journey to
Germany, and there, when wandering
in the old, lovely cathedral at Worms,
examining the frescoes, he came face TO
face with the Princess Alexandra, who,
with her father, was engaged in the
same way. AS Queen Victoria, when
a child, had no idea that she was des-
tined to a throne, so doubtless Princess
Alexandra was quite innocent of any
thoughts of ruling. Her father, Prince
Christian, at this time was not in diroct
succession to his country's crown, md
was, indeed, so far distant from the
reigning King that to find common IN.
cestry he had to go back to the fifteeBth
century.
His daughters were elected at home,
simply and quietly, occupying them
selves with homely amusemeuts and
duties, even-one may now recall with
a smile-making their own Dresses and
trimming their own bonnetA Prince
Christian possessed a small fortune
there are many unfonnded stories of
his poverty-but what dazzling
change it was for his daughter to be-
come heiress to the throne Of Britain
and to set up housekeeping on an in
come of more than $4,000 year.
The good Danish people reioicel
heartily with their Princess with her
betrothal was announced, and present
ed her with large sum of money
known as ''The Peoples Dowry." She
in turn, graciously gave presents OF
money to six brides OF Denmark, poor
folk, who were to be welded on the
same day as herself. And loudly the
English people expressed their Joy.
The Poet Laureate rose bravely to the
occasion with stirring ode:
Clash, ye bells, in the merry March air
Flash, We cities, in rivers Of fire!
And welcome her, welcome the lands
desire-Alexandra.
The Royal yacht, Victoria and FL,
bert, brought the Danish wedding par
ty to England, reaching Gravesend Oh
March 7. Then came one of the great
est moments in the lives of the betroth-
ed pair. Advancing quickly to where
she stood awaiting him, he took hel
hands in his, and before them all kiss
ed her on the lips-a touch OF nature
which set all the men present cheering
and all the women smiling or crying. =
