OMNISCIENCE OF NOVELIST

entirely on the outside of things. An in- stance is found in Robert Hichens' Gall of the Blood" After we have followed Maurice Delarey night after night over certain dangerous sea wall to certain cottage; after having known everything that the man does there, whether alone or accompanied, we are suddenly at the most important point in the story-at its very climax-left at Che landward end of the wall.
 Maurice is afterward found dead in the water, with sharp wound in his tenn pie; but whether this wound was inflicted by rock upon which he fell, or by the hand of his enemy, we have no means of finding out except those which are open to the public authorities. We are kindly allowed to attend the inquest, and to weigh and consider the evidence, but so is every one else. For the purpose of obtaining a dramatic effect the author has abdicated the omniscience which he exercised for our benefit.
 This is something which the reader in- stinctively resents, and has a right to re- sent. We know that the author knows. but he will not tell us. His only motive $ to keep our feelings on the raw as long as possible. He does not even apologize for the sudden failure of his divine power. We have simply been drawn into his net; he is exercising over us something of the occult power that he has over his own creations. This was not a part of the bargain We are deeply wronged, but there Is really nothing that we can do about it.

Last years total was 22,992, ,3S0 tons, and the belief prevails that this years total will reach 25,000,00O tons when charcoal and other minor classes of iron are included. The three closing months of the year will show whether the round grand total will become the new recordN
 Iron is selling for delivery in 1907, and spot iron Is in sharp demand at advancing prices. The demand is so strong that even the increased produc- tion of the 319 furnaces in operation on October 1 will not do more than perhaps to keep off a runaway market.
 The Alabama coke furnaces pro- duced 132,544 tons in September, against 130,771 tons in August. We are still below the figures of May, when the production went to 137,790 tons. Possibly October with it's thirty one days will attain to the May record.

SUGARLAND.

SUGARLAND Oh, Sugarland's S a pleasant place
 Where little children go When they are seldom naughty and Obey the rules, you know. The trees are thick with sugar plums, The leaves are good to eat, The rivers run molasses and
 The very air is sweet. The rocks are sugar loafs, the hills Are piles of candy drops And soda water springs there are Whose spouting never stops. Oh, Sugarlands a pleasant place For any little chap. A candy king holds mighty sway Who never takes a nap. Rare sweets of every kind are there From cAramels to cake, And travellers arriving say
 They don't know what to take. But don't forget that Sugarland While very fair to see, Is rather close to Stomachache, An awful place to be. By rebuking the noisy press agent, Annie Russell has herself editorialized and creates more commotion than she would have stirred up if she had had her diamonds stolen a dozen times. Isn't An nie the cute thing? Napoleon Lajoie has married a comedy young widow. There's home run for youi
 It's no use We are up against a turkey trust.
 SAME OLD THING. What makes the masses toll and slave? What makes the loud reformer rave? What makes some people try to save! Money. What breeds unrest and brutal crime? What springs from sooty forge and grimei What curse is welcome all the time? Money. What haunts the magnate at his ease? What lets us do just as we please? What keeps me pounding lines like these? Money.
