A Fable with "A Moral TO Those whs

A Fable with Moral 10 Those Who
Arc Wise.
Once upon a time there was a real
true gentleman of q humble and retir-
ing disposition who always tried to get
along with as little friction as possible
and who weighed 100 pounds and was
three inches below the normal height.
One day he went to a prize fight, and
when il was finished OH his way home
he stopped and bought q new set Of
golf clubs. instruments that he had
never dallied with before. and when he
marched home he said TO his Wife:
"I've turned over new leaf. After
this l play golf. while you stay at home
and take care Of the baby After this
go to my club regularly and toy with
the chips. 10 learn 10 carom on the
rcd, or sit in the front row and watch
the antics Of the chorus, or anything
/ please, while as for YOU you can
mourn for me If you see fit and shed
appropriate tears for the lamb Of the
flock that has gone astray. After this
you sit in church alone every Sunday
while am home with my feet holding
down the mantelpiece, smoking a
large perfccto and reading the Sunday
supplements. After this | root for my
favorite baseball nine, 80 TO all the
yacht races, swear at the meals and do
the gladiator act around my own prem
ises. DO you understand"
In reply his wife got a firm grip on
his collar and lifted him swiftly but
gently upstairs and. shaking him as
many times as necessary, while he be-
gan to look exceedingly sheepish, re-
piled:
"No. Henry, you VIII do nothing of
the sort. You will do the same old
stunts you have been celebrated for
and lead the quiet, humble life you
have always led under my manage
ment. Don't you know that your size
and weight are against you?"

NOVELS without End.

1t Is recorded as something remark
able that n Japanese novelist has COM
pleted story which occupies ninety
volumes Such a work would seem
rather long if one had TO review il, but
there are possibilities in the very long
novel. One very we'll known writer
has frequently said that If he were en-
tirely free he would select a group OF
characters and at the end of two years
would have produced a tale dealing
with all that happened to them in a
single twelvemonth. In the next two
years he would carry matters on for
another twelve months. and so on to
the end. 1t is not incredible that he
might do this with complete success,
for where a man has written seriously
he very often leaves his characters at
the end of the book in such relations
that they cannot go on living in the
world without helping to make another
and an interesting story.-London Post.
