The Fine Art of EiNfion.

James Lane Allen has produced 4
good novel times enough to entitle him
to hearing upon the art which is his
life work. Discoursing upon the train
ing required for the writer who would
produce really good novel, Mr.. Allen
says:
He shall train himself to see q great
story when 1t Is before his eyes or search
for it until he has found 1t, that he shall
acquire the judgment to pick it out among
thousand inferior ones. Next that he
shall train himself to see the great story
which he has chosen deeply, see it as
deeply as life itself Is deep. Next, that he
shall train himself to fix this deep vision
Of his great story clearly within his own
mind. as clearly as he would behold faces
and forms, lights and shadows groups
and distances in some wonderful pellucid
mistaken mirror. And next and finally,
that he shall learn how to transfix his
vision, whole and true, for the eyes and
minds of mankind. That Is what a great
novelist Is and that Is what a great novel;
list does when he produces a masterpiece.
And that Is why the fine art of fiction Is
not the despicable pastime of turning out
pretty sentences. but the grave and dim
cult toll OF seeing and choosing and
fathoming and then Of delivering faith
fully to others some part of the realities
Of our human life.
The methods Of the novelist at work
have often been laid bare-hOw this one
studied and noted down the phenomena
Of the earth or the heavens, how that
one ferreted out the abnormal traits
of human beings and how others pored
over the volumes of mystical or his
tOric lore in search of motives or char
acters or settings for their stories. Mr..
Allen tells the beginner that he must
do more than train himself for me-
chanical aptitude To his mind the art
calls for grave and difficult toll, a
travail of the soul in reading the mes
sage Of life and delivering it in all
fidelity upon the printed page.

The Old Guard of the New SOutl

The Old Guard of the New South.
The Atlanta Constitution takes ex-
ception to the view which has been
given currency that the south today is
a land of young men. 1t is true, that
paper says, that the young sOutherner
is more in evidence now than ever be-
fore, and the south is the land of the
young man, but the south is now only
reaping the fruits of a development
which began in 1865 and led to the
commercial restoration Of that section.
Starting out with no money, all their
property having been swept away BY
the exigent!es of the great civil con-
fict, the veterans Of the Confederate
armies went bravely to work in the
face of every conceivable obstacle to
rehabilitate the war-worn south. If
they are not in the front ranks today
they are In the councils guiding the
young men whose present golden OPP
portunities they created when they
emerged from Appomattox to behold
a devastated country.

Steering the Immigrant Tide.

The proposed plan of increasing the
head tax on immigrants ought to cure
the evil of congestion If thoroughly
carried out. An increase from 81 to
$40 or even to $50 would not keep out
the mob of political refugees and the
sweepings Of great cities. Friends al
ready here would send them the price
or whatever amount might be lacking
in their own savings. BY wise appli-
cation of the fund accumulated
through the tax the government could
turn the stream Of immigrants into
channels where they would be welcome
or at least not menace to order and
progress.
In the south, the west and the south
west there are areas Of land which the
government could purchase and divide
into small parcels for settlers, who
would eventually return the money by
installments to the original fund. The
cost Of transportation from the sea-
ports to the new homes and the outlay
for tools and seed could also be prOvid
ed from the fund. A large percentage
of the new arrivals would come pre-
pared with their own means and
would not need assistance.
AS a matter Of fairness, the heavy
head tax is defensible for the reason
that immigrants have everything to
gain here under a system that has cost
blood and toll to build up. Others
have founded the state, and if new
corners seek to become partners let
them pay for the privilege. They'll
think all the more of it and work the
harder after they get in.

Stephen Phillips, the English poet is
engaged in the task Of proving that the
fendish Roman emperor Nero was not
so black as history paints him. Poets,

hades and paradise should change
places, but he Is not thinking along
that line now that he is crowding three

ARMADILLO AS A FIGHTER.
Exciting Experience Of Hunter with
One of the Animals in Cali
fornia Woods.

Some curious stories of the wild and
woolly west have been sent to eastern
newspapers, but the following dispatch
from Oakland to the Buffalo Times
easily surpasses all others in the riot
Gus imagination OF the writer, who has
sent one of the most timid of animals
out on the war path against hunter:
Even those who are familiar with the
armadilIo in his native wilds are not
apt to give him credit for his fighting
abilities. While nature has provided
him with a defensive armor which is
protection against most of his enemies,
instances of his attacking man, even
in self-defense. are extremely rare.
The experience of Fred Petmecky on
recent hunting trip proved that an
armadillo can and will fight when able
to choose its battle-ground, and its meth
cd Of attack is unique and terrible
While riding toward camp one evening
Mr. Petmecky heard hound baying
in a thicket Knowing the dog was
aware it was unlawful for it to run deer,
aud not expecting to find anything more
dangerous than a wampus or a grufini
he left his rife in the scabbard and
went to investigate. He Sound the
hound baying at ahuge armadillo, which
he seemed afraidsto attack.
On seeing its new enemy the arma-
dillo rapidly prepared for action Max
ing noise like lion, it seized small
sapling in its mouth and looped its tail
around another Then. by contracting
its body, it bent the sapling held by its
mouth as far as it was able. Having
thus transformed itself into cata-
pnh, it released its hold and was hurled
with terrific force. Doubling itself into
a ball as it few Through the air, 1t struck
Mr.. Petmeeky on the shoulder. knock
ing him down. Nearly stunned by the
force Of the blow and the fall, the hunt
er staggered to his feet just as the ar
madillo was ready for a second attack
which it made with like results.
Tho hound, which had seemed to be
surprised and too terrified to take any
part in the strange battle, now recov-
cred itself. and, before the armadillo |
could launch itself at the man again, /
seized it by the unprotected portion OF
its body and killed IT,
Had it not been for the faithful hound |
Mr. Petmecky's injuries might have
been serious AS it was. he was too
bruised and battered TO mount his horse.

ing with him the dog and one Of the
'aplings bearing the marks Of the az
nadillo's tail as proof Of his singular ad-
venture.

WHY BAT MAsTERsoN QUIT
The Former Western Gun lighter Is
Through with the Wild and
Woolly Life.

Mr. Masterson is an even SO for
years-not great age And yet how
western scenes have shifted during
his brief days. Once he made his live
lihood as buffalo hunter, and killed
30 day-he might have killed 300, but
for the simple reason that 30 robes a
day were all he could stretch and
gcrape and cure. Later, he secuted for
the government in the Black Kettle
wars. Then he was made peace Off
Ger in Dodge in years stormy with
cowboys and staccatoed by careless
six-shooters All these occupations.

day Evening Post, like Othellos, are

less on their reservations, paint no
more for war; the buffalo, like the
dOd0, is a creature extinct; as mar
shal, Mr.. Masterson Is no longer in re-
quest. While the western public is in
the daily habit OF shooting at the mar
shal. folk like Mr. Masterson have

our shooting is done on Broadway,

pleasant farewell reception was
given for Mrs. Luella Moon, Mrs.
Elizabeth Rowe and her daughter,
Mrs. Johnson. The President.
Mrs. Adele NJ. Robinson, called

Mrs. Fuller spoke of the long and
faithful service of Mrs. Rowe, who,

ganize the W. r. G. in Redwood

thusiasm in the work has never
waned. Her work in the official

the efficient work of Mrs. Moon as a
member of the w. R. c., claiming
