STORIES AND THE DRAMA.
Harder Work to Write a Novel Than to
Construct a Play.
One reason why a play is easier to
write than a novel is that a play is
shorter than a novel. On the average
one may say that it takes six plays to
muke the matter of a novel. Other
things being equal, a short work of art
presents fewer difficulties than a lotig
er one. The contrary is held true by
the majority, but then the majority,
having never attempted to produce a
long work of art, are unqualified to
offer an opinion.
It is said that the most difficult form
of poetry is the sonnet But the most
difficult form of poetry is the epic. The
proof that the sonnet is the most dif
ficult form is alleged to be in the few
ness of perfect sonnets. There are,
however, few more perfect sonnets
than perfect epics. A perfect sonnet
may be a heavenly accident. But such
accidents can never happen to writers
of epics.
Some years ago we had an enormous
palaver about the "art of the short
story," which numerous persons who
had omitted to write novels pronounc
ed to be more difficult than the novel.
But the fact remains that there are
scores of perfect short stories, where
as it is doubtful whether anybody but
Turgenev ever did write a perfect
novel.
A short form is easier to manipulate
than a long form because its construc
tion is less complicated, because the
balance of its proportions can be more
easily corrected by means of a rapid
survey, because it is lawful and even
necessary in it to leave undone many
things which are very hard to do and
because the emotional strain is less
prolonged. The most difficult thing in
all art is to maintain the imaginative
tension unslackened throughout a con
siderable period Metropolitan Maga

STRENUOUS LOVEMAKING.
Mme. Lablanc Fairly Flung Herself at
Maurice Maeterlinck.
Of the wooing of Maurice Maeter
linck by Mme. Georgette Leblanc the
Gil Bias tells the story as given by
the lady herself. Mme. , Leblanc, on
reading one of the poet's volumes, said
to herself, said she, "This man shall
be my husband and no other." She
communicated this resolution to her
friends, who made her believe that
Maeterlinck was an old man with one
foot in the grave. What was her sur
prise, when the long hoped- for meet
ing took place, to find that he was
'-young and strong and beautiful."
The lady ran toward the poet with
a cry. But the poet bashfully re
coiled, and little wonder, perhaps, for
listen to Mme. Leblanc's own words:
"I was like a little tigress. My heart
was terribly excited, my cheeks burn
ed, and my eyes were aflame." But
there is no armor against fate, es
pecially when fate takes the bizarre
but alluring form bl a "little tigress
in a tight black dress with a long
train and on the forehead, between
the eyes, a simple blazing diamond."
So continues the story of the inter
view: "I took his hand" thus Mme.
Leblanc "and said to him, 'You are
mine; you are my husband.' He "was
disconcerted by my boldness, which
had the force of a storm in a forest.
He questioned me on myself and my
life. Sensitive as I am, I realized that
he doubted me. 'Give me the time,'
l said, 'and I will gain your confi
dence.' " Was ever poet in this man
ner wooed and won?

The regular army was praised for the part it played at the recent reunion nt Gettysburg. Secretary of WarGarri
son visited the camp with General Wood and complimented General Liggett fur the arrangements. The three were
snapped as shown above, the- secretary in the-center and General Liggett on the left- The task of handling the 4C,
000 veterans was no easy one, especially because of the great crowds that visited the camp. Despite the heat and the
advanced age of most of the vets the army men provided as comfortable quarters as was possible under the circum
stances. There was naturally a great deal of grumbling on the part of. soine, and most of these left before the four
day celebration was over, but fot the most part the old soldiers bore up splendidly under the temporary inconveu
lences of camp life. " - -
The Final
Argument
By BELLE STORMS .
It was . the season when the roses
bluom. and they were sitting together
in a garden on j rustic bench enjoying
the delicious perfume. He had just
proposed marriage, and it' would seem
that their surroundings would induce
that fervor which is to be expected at
such times, if, indeed, the case was one
of mutual love. But the lady was
above such influences. She was look
ins at the step before her analytically.
The wherewithal to keep house togeth
er did not concern her, for each pos
sessed a fortune. Her minddwelt
rather upou those matrimonial quick
sands married persons are liable to fall
into and which, though she knew them
uot. she dreaded.
"I confess." she said, "that f am
predisposed in your favor, but"
"But what?" -
"It is not marriage with yon that
causes me to pause. It is marriage it
self Indeed, we bear mora and more
every day of the disadvantages of two
persons binding themselves together
for a lifetime. We hear a great deal
of divorces, of marriage being a fail
ure and lately of experimental mar
riage and independent marriage. These
things indicate that the world has
passed beyond that old fashioned union
of the sexes wherein the man provides,
the woman takes care of the home
and the children, and domestic life is
Jike a field of growing cabbages."
"Not a garden of roses, with their
delicious perfume."
"And their thorns."
"What do you say to our entering
upon independent marriage?"
"There are many marriage contracts
that may be classed under the head of
independent marriage. To what par
ticular form do you refer?"
"Suppose we consent to live together
as man and wife; that we may not
shock society and for the sake of our
children we submit to a marriage cere
mony. But to us it will be a form
without meaning since we will live
together only so long as we both de
sire to do so The finances are kept
separate."
A silence followed this suggestion
during which the lady pondered and
the mau waited.
"1 cannot see." she said, "that your
proposal can alter the case We will
be on the same footing as other mar

CRAY, FADED HAIR WITH SAGE TEA
Druggist Says When,
Mixed With Sulphur
Prevents Dandruff and
Falling Hair.
Common garden sage brewed into
a heavy tea with sulphur and al
cohol added, then left to age and
carefully filtered, will turn gray,
-streaked and faded hair beautifully
dark and luxuriant; remove every
bit of dandruff, stop scalp itching
and falling hair.
Just a few applications will prove
a revelation if your hair Is fading,
gray or dry, scraggly and thin. Mix
ing the Sage Tea and Sulphur recipe
at home, though, is troublesome.
An easier way is to get the ready-to-use
tonic, costing about 50 cents
a large bottle at drug stores, known
as "Weyth'g Sage and Sulphur Hair
"There Is this advantage-;we will
feel an independence, -a freedom, that
we would not feel if married under tho
understanding that the contract was
till death do us part '
Again the lady maintained silence,
turning the inattei over in her mind
Stretching out nei ' band, she grasped
a rose growing "near her and held its
stem so that its waxen, petals fell
against br lips while, she Inhaled Its
perfume. . - " ,
"I have- a counter proposition to
make," she said finally. "1 will ac
cept your proposal, it being understood
that you are bound till death do us
part, I to be free, as you have stated."
It was now the man's turn -to con
sider He said nothing tor a time,
though lie gave a startled glance at his
companion. He was young.' and this
was his fir.st serious experience with
womankind. The proposition that had
just been announced seemed a trifle
one sided. , .
"Would you consider that an equita
ble arrangement?" be asked.
"Perfectly." -
"Why so?" -...
"Because If we should not get on to
getherif you" ill treated me, if any of
the misfortunes of marriage should
come upon us I would be free to re
turn to my present state."
"And I? What, In case of these
matrimonial misfortunes what would
I do?"
These matrimonial misfortunes
would not be my fault Therefore you
would have no occasion to exercise
freedom."
He was a law student and had the
day before listened to a lecture of an
eminent jurist on "contracts." U it to
be wondered that this specimen of
feminine jurisprudence in the abstract
astonished him?
"I think " he said, rising, "that 1
would not care to enter upon matri
mony with 'such an understanding."
"Why so?" she asked, looking up at
him reproachfully.
"It would avail nothing to give my
reasons. 1 do not care to do so."
"How absurd! Didn't I just give
you my reasons?"
"Reasons!" Do you call them rea
sons?" "Of course Why not?"
"Very well. I will give you mine.
I am to be an attorney, perhaps some
day a judge. What would I do with
justice in court and such want of jus
tice at home? Ooodby."
He had taken but two or three steps
when he heard a sound. Turning, he
saw her holding her handkerchief to
her eyes, while convulsive sobs shook
her He went Nick, drew down the
hands and kissed away the tears.
"You see." she said, stiU weeping,
"that. I was risrht .Inst think of bevnt?
IF
Remedy," thus avoiding a lot of
muss. Some druggists make their
own, but It isn't nearly so nice as
"Wyeth's." -
While wispy, gray, faded hair is
not sinful, we all desire to retain
our youthful appearance and at
tractiveness. By darkening your "
hair with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
no one can tell, because it does it
so naturally; so evenly. You just
dampen a sponge or soft brush and
draw It through your hair, taking
one small strand at a time. Do this
tonight, and by morning all gray
hairs have disappeared; after an
other application or two it will be
restored to its natural color, and be
even more glossy, soft and luxuriant
than ever. .
Local druggists say they are sell
ing lots of "Wyeth's Sage and Sul
phur;" It surely helps folks appear
years younger,

I. C. S. An Ethical Power
Now, gentlement, just for a moment, I would speak to you, not as
an educationalist, but as a preacher of manhood and a lover of his
kind. The question of the use of alchohol by the student when study
ing, has carried me back to the thought. The International Correspond--ence
Schools are not simply educational, they are ethical; they not
only make foremen and craftsmen and draftsmen, but they mak
MEN in capital letters. For you can never awaken any ons to his
.commercial! possibilities without stirring up all other possibilities so
cial, patriotic, philanthropic, intellectual, moral. The moment you suc
ceed breaking up one araa of inertia you set vibration moving through
every part of the being and all kinds of dormant and stagnant powers
are set into healthy motion. When a man's mind gets engrossed with
an intellectual occupation and he finds that he has a grip upon the
laws and forces oi the universe, the saloon, the vulgar and degrading
bow, ths curb-stone loafing, and the hours of inane and ribald waste
all seem to De unworthy of him and his eelf-respect clothes him in a
protective armor which helps to keep his entire manhood inviolate. A
great American preacher used to speak much about 'the expulsive pow
er of a new affection," and, having as your life work the duty of both
supplying and developing this "new affection" the love cf the best, by
which the unworthy and base will be expelled, perhaps unconsciously
but surely,, from many and many a man. Success to you in your work!
The Trained Man Never Worries
When the chiefs put their heads together to hire ur "fire," the
trained man doesn't worry. He knows that there is always a place for
him. ,
You can look your job and every man in the face if you possess the
training so much in demand everywhere today. The International
Correspondence Scuools will go to you in your spare time, whereever
you live, and will train you to become an expert in your chosen line
of work. Such a training will forever take you off the "anxious" seat.
It costs you nothing to find how the I. C. S. can help you. Mark
the coupon opposite the occupation for which you have a natural lik
ing, mail the coupon today, and the I. C. S. will send you facts showing
how you can earn more money in the occupation of your own choice.

POTATOES GAINING
IN PRICE, QUALITY
With potatoes gradually regaining
strength as a market staple the trade
is now reasonably firm at $1.25 per
hundred. Stock is nothing to boast of
in quality, but there is a growing de
mand, and it is expected that with the
arrival of better spuds things will
look brighter. The recent early sum-
mer slump in this line has been about
as severe as any on record.
Cantaloupes from Washington's
fruit belt will be in the market today.
Owing to their flavor and general per
fection they will be quoted wholesale
at $2.50 per case, or two-bits higher
than former offerings. Demand gives
promise of being brisk.
Canby corn is finding favor in the
buying market at from $1.25 to $2 per
case. The wide range in price is due
to a considerable variance in quality
and size.
The second ten-cent rise in sugar
has become effective in all Pacific

dered to equalize prices in the east
and west. .
