Stories Old and New.

Some men are born story tekers.
some achieve the story telling faculty,
while others-who constitute the
great majority-can only sit in amaze
ment and listen to the man who can
glibly reel them off, one after another,
as If they were all new, fresh and
original. You can recognize good
story by the number Of times you
meet it, for the good story is picked
up and repeated, interchanged, en-
larged, improvised and spread, until
1t is liable to reappear, as natural
or in disguise, at the four corners
of the earth, and at widely separated
periods of time That's what makes
the modern story teller such delight,
because until he finishes you cannot
know whether you are about to meet
an old friend or be initiated into
novel mysteries. The redeeming fea
ture of it is that every year another
crop of listeners grows to maturity for
whom the old ones are always new,
and who, in consequence, must be
the perpetual inspiration and the liv.
ing encouragement to the story teller
