How Balzao Wrote.

OF all literary toilers Balzac was GER
tainly the most eccentric in his meth
DDS. AT first he would write his novel
in a few pages, hardly more than the
plot. These would be sent to the print
or, who would return the few printed
columns of matter pasted into the CEN
ter of several large sheets. On this
margin Balzae would work, sketching
his characters. composing the dialogue
and perhaps altering entirely the orig
inal plot of the book. For four or FIVE
times this process was repeated until
at last the few columns had assumed
the proportions of a volume. This ex-
way of building a book
naturally ran away with a consider
able share of the profits ON the work.

scribe the defeat of the "Medicos" by

Journeyed to the park and about one
hundred and fifty of them rooted for
the doctors, but the physicians PLAYED
like men under the influence Of an anaes-
thetic and got trounced to the tune of
p TO l3. The doctors in vain effort
to stem the tide of defeat used four
pitchers. but all of them looked alike to
the attorneys. who knocked the sphere
TO all corners Of the lot and ran
bases like professionals.

lawyers holding the doctors to seven
runs. when he was succeeded by Carter.

LIQUOR CASES ENDED
Dismissed by Corporation Court on
Motion of the Commonwealth. -

The three cases against Eugene Bode
and the one against A l.. Layton for
: alleged violation of the local option law.
which were appealed by the Common
wealth from u decision Of Police Justice
Oannehl IN favor of the accused, were
dismissed by Judge Goolrick in the Cor
poration court Saturday morning on
motion Of the Commonwealth attor-
torney. Mr.. Butzner.
After Mr.. GoOlrick, counsel for the
accused, had moved the court TO fix a
day FOR the trial Mr.. Butzner made a
statement TO the effect that ne had
worked hard on the cases i'm an effort
To Ind peg on which TO base the pros
ecutiOn and If he could have found this
peg he would have vigorously prosecu-
ted the accused, but that in his opinion
the Commonwealth in two of the cases
against Mr.. Bode aud i'm the case
against MIR. Layton had absolutely no
case and. therefore, he did not propose
to fritter away the time of the court
and put the State 10 the expense of
fruitless trials. AS TO the remaining
case against Mr.. Bode. he stated that
Bode had testified that he mixed gin
ger with ginger ale and an analysis
which he had had made showed that
the mixture contained about 9 per cent
oiSOAiots MI DulLncF luftncr stated
that there was a city ordinance permit
ting the sale of Jamaica ginger and
while the ordinance was void. being in
conflict with the State liquor law. vet
II had evidently misled not only Mr..
Bode, but number of druggists here.
as an investigation made by him show
ed that number of drug stores were
selling Jamaica ginger, which contained
large per cent of alcohol. This he
declared was a plain violation of the
Byrd law and any further sales would
result IN prosecutions unless the ginger
was sold on physicians prescription.
Under the circumstances Mr.. Butzner
asked that the case against Mr.. Bode
be dismissed and that all parties take
notice that no ginger or any other prep
aration containing sufficient alcohol to
intoxicate could be sold in Fredericks-
burg.
