' They teQ a good story at the Authors' Club la New York on Mr. Will N. Harben Whllft, fct trial !. T- rio kVtla summer a letter .came from a stranger in Aiianta to say mat ne had read Mr. war ben's Abner Daniel, and liked it so well that be bad set his heart on having the author of the book, dine with him at the quaint betel described in Abner Daniel as the "Johnston House. In Dalton The strangar s letter referred In easy terms or ma "am frionrin" .irw riuinit pi Harris and Prank L. Stanton, and said he would not be satisfied until he alsr knew the creator of Abner Daniel. H was willing to make the trip from Atlanta. Harben hesitated over the unusual pro- loepltality of a Southerner, and the in evitable tenderness of reeling of an autnoi towards an admirer of his work, he an swered that h haDtiencd to ba llvln at the hotel in question, and that, he would meet the stranger only on condition that he would be the author's guest.- The Invitation was accepted by telegraph, he hour for the dinner arrived, but no a-uest appeared. That night about II o'clock the town marshal called and informed Mr. Harben that a rather seedy, looking friend of his was locked up In the calaboose. The man had arrived In far from sober condition and had proceeded to make things lively in the town, de claring that he waa the author's chum and was going to collaborate with htm In a new book. The denouement was that Mr. Harben not only settled the stranger's fine, but, In order- to rid him self of ' an embarrassing Incumbrance, paid the exuberant visitors way back to Atlanta. Mr. Harben is now shy of un known admirers. A New Bird Story. A party "of summer visitors at Eiberon; "N. J., were one day very much surprised at the sagnolty of a flock of fiih hawks. One of thefo birds, being mlstuk.n for a barnvard" robber, was shot at wbllo perch ing on the tt-p branch of a tree.

The sportsman came again, Into the orchard With the in tention of putting an end to th pour creature's misery; but be was easily per suaded to wait and see what tne birds would do. , An Immediate result of the meeting was th feeding of the prisoner, several members of -the rescuing party , flying to the ocean and returning with fish In their claws. It was easily seen, . however, that the nearness of the tree to the housa and the lowness of the branches on which the wounded- bird crouched caused the greatest anxiety, and even after the invalid's nunyer was sat isfied, the other birds kept flying away In parties. While ethers still perched on the trees and seemed to be awa'tins; the mei- ' senger's retrurA.lt wafso evident that some .plan had been made that a number of la dles brought their needlework out into the orchard and stayed waiting to see what was going to be done. The hawks were very quiet all dey, except that the suf fer v uttered an occasional hound as it moved uneasily on its leafy bed. while the .watchers replied in low soot bins; tones, p.s If with words of pity or .encourage ment. Toward sunset a single nuwk ap peared on the scone, then another and an other; a chattering began, and the excite, ment Inert tsed as the messen'nrs bent re. turning in tiya and threes. The wounded bird raised Itself as much as possible from "the branch, and seemed Joyfully ex pectant. : while the others new around it gaily. Soon, a loud flapping overhead was heard, a flock of hawks appeared, and in their midst a giant hawk a bird much larger ana stronger tnan a y or tne real. For a few moments It perched upon the tonmost branch of the tree, then started up again and began circling about, coming lower, nearer to us wounded brother, un til, suddenly swooping, It grasped the lat ter in its claws, and raising him gently from the bough, soared away with him triumphantly. The other hawks followed, leaving the spectators overwhelmed with astonishment. They did not doubt that the hawk was being carried to soma safe, retired spot, where ha eould be fed and w14e- trBiat- hhr wound healea:-"---'.- , Face Book the Jle west Fad. - Quite t ha latest idea la to have a face bcok.

The most amusing pages In the face book are ant to be the on in whnh detached human featuree are drawn. For instance, . were may re a nose done by one friend, and an ear by another. Just the tip end or the dimpled thin by a tnira, or the sketch of a hand. It is a good plan to have the pages with these odds and ends of features sketched in without autographs. A good line at the head of the page would be, "By their works ye shall know them." These are the guessing leaves of the book, and many a jolly hour may be passed by visitors who try to guess the- namtuf of the artists. Some women insist that musical friends shall express a sentiment by means- of a bar of musio. The selection of a bar Is made from a popular song, and the first word of the tine is written over the Initial note, while the last one appears atme the closing one.

Margaret Horton Potter, author of the new novel Istar of Babylon, just published by the Harpers, can testify to the labor Involved in writing a novel like Istar. In the first place, It was quite seven years ago that the theme occurred to her. It was at a Thomas concert and a symph onic poem, "Istar," by the original and imaginative French composer, Vincent d'Indy, was played. Immediately upon reaching horns Miss Poter wrote the Pro logue, almost exactly as It stands to-day. She began that same year to build up the theme nn J to reiiil for the story. In 1800 she worked about two hours a - day through six or eight months, reading and studying for it. Book I. was written in Egypt and Sicily, and the main part of the story at Lake Geneva last summer. She spent three days at Sellnunte the old Bellnous. In Sicily last year, studying the ;t6"f the int town, but sh has not been to the site of Babylon, ad bas been reported. Most of the MS. of Istar was rewritten three times. In London, In 1901, Miss Potter met Dr. Wallia Budge, the President of the British Museum, who gave her the freedom of the library there, and also sent her a list of books which he thought might be useful. Miss Potter says that the Assyrian and Babylonish exhibits, however, were of the most value to her; and in the book of Istar most of the small articles Jewelry, knives, dishes, etc. he actually saw In the collection at the museum, or found described in various catalogues of articles found in the mounds.

A country teeming with age: a popula tion with many unlaue custom, d&tintr back as tar in the lapse of time as the churches themselves, where the town crier is almost a daily occurrence, with his rat-a-tap-tap on his old snare drum, and his sonorous voice droning a pro clamation of the ma Ire. Listen with me to one I heard: "The ma ire had heard with regret that the children of the vil lage have been disturbing the birds' nests in the trees; and if these acts "are, not discontinued,- he will hold the parents responsible, ' and ' fine them heavily."
