died in fiction sometimes in the true spirit or
the novelist, but not seldom after the fashion
of the socOlOgist. Here is Mr.. Arthur Symons,
who has always been ranked among the purely

the preface to a new volume that he is grad

expression Of a theory, or system of aesthetics

Every writer, 30 matter what his field may be,
is the better for having some sort of theory in
the back Of his mind. But judging simply
from results, it looks as if a great many of our
younger authors were doing themselves more
harm than good by their thcorizing and their
efforts to provide a solution OF this that
problem. They talk much Of art. They like

"You can't judge a man by the
clothes he wears" said Edward II.
Hill. Twenty years ago my father
had a jewelry store in Smithfeld street,
and l was employed as boy of all work.
One evening a poorly dressed, rough
looking man came into the store, and
my father thinking he was after aims,
told me to see what he wanted.
stepped up and was about to tell him
we could do nothing for him, when in
a gruff voice he asked to look at a
gold watch" says a Pittsburg ex-
change.
Il was completely surprised and
thought would cut his curiosity short
by showing him one of the plOst ex-
pensive timepieces we had. He took
the watch, examined it in detail and
asked if that was the best we had. On
being told it was valued at $3.50 he
said it would do You can imagine my
surprise. l had never made a big sale
before.
"'Now, sonny said the man, have
you got a chain to correspond with the
watch? l showed him one of our heav-
lest gold chains. He then wanted to
look at watch charms and selected a
good lOcket. He put the lOcket on the
chain, fastened the chain to the watch,
put them all in his pocket and asked
me what the damages were.
""Two hundred and fifty dollars /
replied, expecting TO see him hand
back the goods. Instead he loOsened
his vest and, reaching into a leather
belt around his waist, drew out num-
ber of large gold nuggets, gold coins
and several valuable stones. He count
ed the amount of his bill and started
to leave the store. Upon reaching the
door he turned and in a gruff but ear
nest voice said:
"'Say, NY boy, Kinney is my name

turned to the cast from diggin's in Cal

A gray haired man, bowed with age,
whose wlinkled face showed the ef-
fects of exposure to sun and wind,
stepped from a Baltimore and Ohio
train from the west the other morning
and walked slowly up Smithfeld
street. Stepping into Mr.. Hills store,
he laid a gold watch on the counter.
Say, mister" he said in a feeble
voice, my name is Kinney-M. P. Kin

bought here twenty years ago, and, be-
in around these parts again, l thought
I'd just drop in and see if the piece

country since bought that watch, and
it's more'n likely got little dust in it,"
Mr.. Hill took the watch and, shaking
hands with the old man. told him of
how, twenty years ago, in the garb Of
a California miner, he impressed upon
him the truth of the old saying, You

DR.. Parker and His Texts.

The late DR.. Joseph Parker, follow

which he began to preach, used to be-

all night dramatically. The children
