Effect f Newspapers on Fiction.
There is a story told of a newspaper
correspondent who telegraphed his
editor as follows : "Have column
story on so-and-so. Shall I send it ? "
The elitor , mindful of the value of
space , wired back : "Send six hun
dred words. " In a few hours he re
ceived another message from the
anxious correspondent , reading :
"Can't be told in less than twelve
hndred. " The editor promptly tele
graphed back : "Story of creation of
the world told in six hundred. Try
it. " And in due time the corre
spondent sent in his story written
within the prescribed limits. The
condensation of language in the news
papers of our time has undoubtedly
had a reactionary effect on our liter
ature. Our novelists no longer in
dulge in the elegant efforescense of
two chapters in a book where one
can take its place , and even the
leisurely introductory pages of Scott ,
fine as they are , would not be read in
a novelist of today , unless , indeed ,
another Scott should arise.

A Maine farmer , after witnessing

and you'll know what a game of foot

Care ot the Feet.
Many people abuse their feet by
confining them in cramped and ill
fitting shoes. We talk learnedly of
the necessity for ventilation , and
then we encase the feet in air tight
coverings , and expect them to bear
up the weight of our bodies all day
long without a grumble. Or we take
pains to have our shoes long enough ,
and then put on socks or stockings
half an inch too short , and wonder
where the corns come from.
Almost as necessary as the proper
sheas is the proper toilet. At least
morning and night the feet should be
bathed and then manipulated to keep
them smooth and supple. Stockings
should be changed very frequently ,
because the feet , owing to their con
finement and the hard work they are
called upon to do , are nearly always
perspiring. The same pair of shoes
should not be worn two days in suc
cession. It is an easy matter to have
two pairs in use on alternate days ,
and is excellent economy besides , as
it gives the shoes a chance to become
perfectly dryand consequently they
keep in better shape and last longer.

Why Didn't the President Go to Yel
lowstone Park to Hunt Them ?
When President Roosevelt appreci
ates the real significance of the annual
report of Secretary of the Interior
Hitchcock that part of it relating to
the plague of bears in Yellowstone
Park it is possible that there will be
a scene between the cabinet officer and
his chief. It is considered downright
queer in official circles that the Secre
tary of the Interior should allow the
President to go bear hunting awa.v
down in Mississippi , where the bears
run from strangers , when right out in
the Government's own domain the
bears are so tame they will take pie out
of the hand.
If Mr. Hitchcock is seen looking pale
and distraught within the next few
days it ivill be known that the Presi
dent's eye has lighted on those fetch
ing paragraphs in which the facts
about the Yellowstone Park bears are
told , says the New York World :
"The bears have increased in num
bers and continue to be a great source
of interest to tourists , as thejr can bo
Been at any time during the season
around the garbage piles at the various
hotels and camps. They are perfectly
harmless as long as they are let alone ,
but if fed and petted they lose all fear
of human beings and are liable to do
considerable damage to property at the
hotels and camp kitchens , and are also
liable to frighten tourists by following
them with the expectation of being fed.
The black and brown bears are the
most friendly and consequently give the
most trouble. Three of them became
such a nuisance during the past sum
mer that it became necessary to have
them killed.
"It is difficult to make some of the
tourists in the park realize that the
bears are wild and that it is dangerous
to trifle -with them. The possibility of
injury to some one was anticipated , and
on Aug. 8 , 1902 , a circular was issued
by the acting superintendent of the
park and posted at all the hotels and
permanent camps absolutely prohibit
ing the interference with or molesta
tion of bears or any other wild ani
mals in the park , and also forbidding
any one to feed them except at the reg
ular garbage piles.
"A violation of the instructions con
tained in this circular' resulted in the
serious injury of a tourist from Hart.
Mich. Since this accident barriers have
been put up at all of the garbage piles ,
and signs indicating danger of approaching
preaching too near the bears have been
oosted. "

Initiation pranks of a secret societj
almost caused the death of William
Dorkin of 131 South Twenty-Fourth
street , who had a most thrilling expe
rience early yesterday morning after
being made a member of oneof these
orgnaizations.
Being a newly elected member , Dor-
kin was put through the ordeals. Ac
cording to him , a large balloon was at
tached to his shoulders and he was
put in a room Avith a high ceiling. The
rope attached to the balloon was cut
lo"S ? , and Dorkin was carried to the
ceiling time and again.
Dorkin afterward loft the hall , which
is situated near Thirty-ninth and Mar
ket streets , and started alone for home.
After walking some distance he was
seized AVith the idea that the balloon
Avas still attached to him and AATas car

In one factory a bed was always kept

name of "the slaughter house ; " and in
another was found a standing rule of

GREAT many remedies to

have been devised from time to
time , such as sprays , Snuffs , creams and
other local applications , but , as a rule ,
the medical profession has little or no
enthu iasin in the treatment of catarrh.
It is generally pronounced by them to
be incurable.
It therefore created a great sensation
in medical circles when Dr. Iltivtman
announced that he had devised a com
pound which would cure catarrli per
manently.
The remedy was named Peruna and in ,
a short time bee ' .me known to thousands >
of catarrh sufferers north , south , east

Letters testifying to the fact that Pe

"I'was troubled with catarrh of- the

sense of smell , hearing and sight. I
spent lots of money with doctors and
the use of local applications to relieve
me but to no purpose , until my atten

of Peruna.
"I must say that I met with most
surprising and satisfactory results.
Peruna took hold of the complaint and
drove it entirely out of my system.
