Bad Story Telling.
If Oscar Wilde's assumption were to
be taken seriously, that fall fiction is ly
ing, it might account for much that
afflicts readers, since the lack of morale
affects the intellect, and what is done
without conscience is apt to be done
badly. Of course all fiction is not lying,
as all killing is not murder, but it is a
sad fact that many writers of noveh
and short stories seem to have left their
consciences and much of their brains
behind when they go forth to work as
if these belongings might safely remain
in seclusion, with the dress coat and
the white tie, to be brought out only
for especial occasions. Artemus Ward
once remarked that he had a giant mind,
but did not have it with him, and that
(or the latter half of it) is apt to be the
case with any of us when we are care
less. True, even good Homer sometimes
nodded, but this affords no example for
as who are not Homers. To come to our
tasks otherwise than with all our wits
about us and invite publio attention to
the chance "oozings of our brains" is
as if one should issue from-his apart
ments unshorn and half clad or enter
upon the busy haunts of men without
money in his pocket Frederic M. Bird
