WRITING TO HIMSELF.
Author Hits Upon Scheme to jog His
Own Man7Orv

Author Hits Upon Scheme to jog His
Own Memory.
Nothing could apparently be more
absurd than the idea of people habit
ually writing letters to themselves.
Still, it is something which is very
frequently done, and that by men
who are perfectly sane and of a serf-
Gus turn of mind
One of the most striking instances
is that of a dramatist well known to
the writer Realizing the fact that
good ideas often came to him at. odd
and unexpected moments, when he
was bordering over the construction
of a new piece of work, collecting
data which revealed the characteris-
tics of the different people in the
play, and that he often had happy
thoughts for bright bits of dialogue
which came in a flash and We're for
gotten as rapidly, he determined to
make memoranda of them SO that he
might preserve his finds.
At first he began in the ordinary
way by writing them down on scraps
of paper He found, however, that
these precious bits of manuscript
which were written ON old letters
and envelopes which he found in his
pockets, or on the margin of news
paper which he happened to be carry
ing-were always either being lost or
were never to be found when he want
ed them Then he had recourse to
the more orderly notebook, but, as
that was often mislaid and was never
in his pocket when he wanted 1T, he
reserved to post the scrap of paper to
himself.

Because the Ladysmith newspapers
have not had a great deal to say con-
corning the copper find south of this
city, some of our readers may have
come to the conclusion that the story is
something of a myth. Perhaps the
prevalence of such myths in some pa
pers makes such a conclusion natural,
but copper in Rusk county is no myth.
1t is here and in paying quantities. 1t
has already been learned that it is
more valuable than the average run of
copper ore, and the prospectors are
still at work to ascertain the extent of
the vein.

CHRISTMAS DECORATION.
Unique Display Arranged in Window
of York Flower Store.

One of the most attractive of the
numerous beautiful window displays
arranged for the Christmas season in
this city is that which has been pre-
pared at the York flower store on
Quincy street. The lower part of the
window is taken up with a representa-
ton OF country church. with color
ed windows through which the light
shines at night, produced by an cleo
trio light placed in the interior. The
roof of the church is covered with
spangled cotton to represent snow and
a number of small evergreen trees are
planted in the "snow" surrounding it.
The upper part of the window is fes-
TONED with evergreen and hung with
red Christmas bells. while the rest of
the display is composed of brilliant
red poinsettias and geraniums, giving
a most pleasing effect. There is a
very large demand for plants and
flowers this season for bouquets and
decorations and the force at the store
and the greenhouses is rushed to
handle the Christmas trade.
