Apropos Of "The Christmas Kalends of
Provence" by Thomas A. Jauvier. which
is in preparation story was told the other
evening relating how the genial author of
1.-The Passing Of Thomas" ami can EN-
bassy to Provence" once escaped being a
shining light in the guild of professional
American humorists. The scene was
little French restaurant off West Ninth
street, which Mr.. Janvier and his gifted
wife, the well-known interpreter of the
Felibrige of Provence are wont to fire.
quent. Said Mr.. Janvier: II once spent a
very strenuous evening with Bangs who
made an elaborate argument to prove that
writing laughable material was one of the
hardest grinds in literature, and that it's
success PrSsupposed a God-given inspira-
ton. did not think so. But, as | was
obliged 70 confess. 1 had never tried my
hand at IT. The next morning, either owing
10 Bangs's conversation or what we had
drunk on the occasion mentioned. / felt
utterly used Imperative faculties all
numb-bran 9luggish with plagiaristic pro-
clivities, and all that 1 remembered Bangs
was In fit condition TO prove him in the
wrong. In less than an hour 1 had written
nineteen jokes l laughed to myself 1
reread them, and began to decide what I
would do with the money they brought in
1 sent them to dear old Bunner of Puck
and waited. AT the end of week I re-
was something I'm Bangss argument after
all. | dismissed the matter from my mind
Another week passed, and with il came a
check for another half dollar. Then came
check for $50: then one for s., and so
on, until every one of my nineteen Jokes
had been accounted for Ha. | said 10 my
self was right and Bangs was wrong.
But oh, the torture of it all-the consterna-
ton that the receipt of one of those 5O-cent
checks would throw my mind into I would
drop my serious work and begin to twist
the joke around into a possible 81 form
which had just missed. / thought of those
jokes by day and dreamed OF them by
night And now, although ! still have some
doubt as to the God-given inspiration Of
professional humorist, i can easily imagir.

The Novels She Liked.

New York Evening Sun.
A delicately bred woman. keeping her
place with taper forefinger in a story of
inquiry whether she found the book enjoy
able: "Oh, exceedingly. l always make
point of reading stories that are said to
have this local color. You know we all like
TO obtain a diversion in our reading from
the interests of our everyday life. 1 sup
pose that is why nursemaids love to read
about herones who wear ropes of pearls
in the morning or why people of wealth
find entertainment in tracing the process
by which man made up debt of 10 cents
in the course of three years; and in these
New England stories | am sure of never
happening upon incidents such as are fur
nished in my daily life. For instance, I've
never in my life heard any character ex-
cept in fiction say i callate.' Among my
acQuaintances no one would ever dream or
setting the table with a checked CLOTH or
of entering the house by the back door,
or Of putting braided mats on the parlor
floor. or of having pie daily or even week
ly. Then, these stories abound with home
ly wisdom which | find most refreshing.
For whenever l happen TO engage in con-
stone wall, or taking his garden truck to
market or making whistle for his little
grandchild or some such philosophical pur-
suit, ! receive perfectly noncommittal re-
sponse, Good morning. Hope you're all
well this spring? Yes, thank you, but that
was a terrible storm We had last night l
never catch those epigrams worthy of a
James a Meredith, or those sententiOuS
moralties that sound like Marcus Aurelius
or Ralph Waldo Emerson. So, DO you Won
der that these stories are an unfailing re-
source to me? For, you see am New
England woman"

Dickens as a TaIker.

New York Tribune
1t is the complaint of the London Morning
Post that the current Lives" of Dickens
do not contain any account of his wonder
full powers as a talker. LAS boy in a
lawyers Office he was famous for his pow
ers of mimicry, and actor he would
easily have become famous. On the other
hand, his inexhaustible flow of fancy and
humor, a flow which he never made any
attempt to check, must have made him the
most delightful of takers. One remembers
the comment of Thackeray on one occasion,
when Dickens was making an after-dinner
speech: Il cannot afford to coruscate like
that Perhaps 1t was impossible to pre-
serve any of his conversation. Voice, eX-
preston and gesture might seem TO those
who heard him essential to the effect he
produced that the bare words seemed cold
and dead when those who had listened
came TO write them down. But we have a
recollection of story to the effect that
Dickens once took Thackeray out for a
walk and brought him back eXhausted-not
with walking, but with laughter. One
would like 10 have even faint echo of the
conversation on that OCCASION

And or this let every one be assured, that
he owes 10 the impa assioned books which
he has read many a thousand more of emo
uons than he can consciously trace back
TO them.-De Quincy.
Books never pail on us. They dis
