POINTED PARAGRAPHS.

Probably the easiest thing in the
world is to be a bore.
You waste half your time. There's
reform work for you.
1t is possible to laugh at trouble, but
the laughter doesn't mean it.
What disagreeable world this would
be if people were perfectly candid.
1t is easier to talk a man out of q
thing than it is to fight him out of it.
There is one thing sure about a fuss
it does not do any good to talk it over.
When men talk together, it is of
prices at which things can be sold.
Women talk of prices at which things
can be bought.
The sentiment seems to be always
in favor of abusing the man who OBJ
jects to cost when it comes to funerals
or weddings.-Atchison Globe.

DETECTIVE STORIES.
The Literary Weakness In the Novel
of Crime and Detection.


of Crime and Detection.
know of one good reason, and only
one, which really prevents detective
stories standing among the nOblest
forms Of art. Most of the objections
raised against them by the vague mind
ed world of modern culture probably
the most vague minded world that has
ever existeD are quite narrow and
childish. TO say that the detective tale
Is sensational is simply to say that it
is full of feeling or is aesthetic. Aes-
thetic is the Greek for sensational.
Sensational is the Latin for aesthetic.
To say that the thrill which it gives
is connected with bald and positive
sin, with bald and positive death and
not with any of the fine spun drawing
room emotions which it is now the
fashion to consider deep" is to pay it
high compliment.
The Bible is concerned with these
great plain sins and judgments. So
are the great Greek dramas, so are
the tragedies of the Elizabethans, so
are the old ballads, and so are all men
anywhere who live lives sufficiently
real to have ever seen the great plain
sins and judgments.
There is one good argument, as
have said, and one only, against the
police mystery, and that is that police
mysteries exist to destroy mystery
when they have created it. A sad tale
should be saddest when we finish it,;
happy tale should be happiest when
we finish it, a stirring tale should be
most stirring at the end, a fantas-
| tic tale most fantastic at the end
! But this kind of mysterious tale is
not most mysterious at the end. 1t
is then least mysterious, or, rather,
not mysterious at all. Instead of max
ing a commonplace thing mystical
| the aim of all good art) the detec-
tive reverses the process and makes
a mystical thing commonplace. And
| from this comes that one fatal weak
ness in the sensational novel of crime
and detection, the one thing that does
| separate it, l am afraid, from great
fiction. the fact that there is no i'm
pulse to read it again. A detective
tale we have read is an empty bottle
| of wine, an exploded shell, a thing de-
stroyed. The mystery of the sanity of
Hamlet is alive and kicking still.-G.

carelessly open by the stage hands one
night after the opera was over and had
been in the charity ward of a hospital.

worthy and volunteered further the
whispered information that she was

came back with a ticket for a seat in

When WiXtOn ushered his charge into
the box he found, to his surprise, that
the place was unlighted. The curtain
had just closed on the first act, and the
solitary occupant was shrinking into
the farthest corner as though seeking
to avoid observation.
John reached out to press the electric
button and turned in the blaze of light
to confront the woman who had re-
fused him the week before. His lips
tightened, and his face went white
"Egnice! You here?"
The woman turned a lovely pale face
up to him entreatingly without speak
ing. This unlocked for contretemps
had destroyed her poise, woman of the
world though she was, and left her as
excited and embarrassed as a school
girl. There were traces of tears about
the dark eyes, hollow from sleepless-
ness. Her soft white throat worked in
the stress Of emotion, and her bosom
rose and fell pantingly.
At last she found her voice. 1t was
low and tremulous, and at the thrilling
sweetness of it the mans heavy heart
pounded like mad thing behind his
immaculate shirt front.

The American girl is admired and liked
at home and abroad because she is the
happiest, usually the healthiest and friend
liest of girls. She is fond of life and is
alive to everything beautiful and good in
existence. Mrs. Langtry has said that the
American woman has little to learn from
her English sisters.
DIR. Pierce, the specialist in women's dis
eases, of Buffalo, N. Y, advises simple ex-

tilated rooms.

MORALES PROMISES TO
OVERCOME HIS ENEMIES

Cape Haytien, Hayti, Dec. 2o.-The
greater part of northern Santo Domin-
go is said to be in favor of General
Morales, the fugitive president of the
republic. 1t is understood that Morales
left the capital in order to join his
partisans in the north and General Rod
riguez, the governor of Monte, Christ,
with his followers have gone to meet
Morales. Rodriguez's forces are said
to be numerous. 1t is claimed here that
the report that Morales intended to
establish new capital of Monte Christi
is correct and that he will use that
place as base from which he will en-
deavor to suppress the uprising of the
Caceres party. at the old capital of Santa
Domingo. A censorship of all mes
sages has been established at Monte
Christi. Important news from Santo
Domingo is expected momentarily.
