THE TALE OF A HABIT. j|
The Saci Plight of One Afflicted Wi' ‘
Mental Dyspepsia. ^
Pro mthe New' York Evening Post. Sot
A Habit, a Reading Habit, sat glaring
a pile of books and magazines. He vv. »t
weary of reading, and he wanted some >
thing to read. He had mental dyspepsia
but he needed food. All was wrong with#
everything. And when everything goes*
wrong, the everything of the tangibles
world, the contagion spreals, and no oill
escapes. H
“What do you think of this?” he askr ■
himself, picking up a copy of "The ViolcV
Opera Hat.’’
“A book of unexceeded cleverness.,” a^r*
publisher’s announcement inside confi
dently and modestly admitted.
He muttered softly: “That is why I
don't like it. I am tired of cleverness,
tired of the reiterated admission in fore
words, notices, and reviews, as well as S
from the covers of magazines that books V
and stories are clever. Scintillating wit. ■
excoriating epigram -epigram— epigram! I I
have grown to dread bright sayings. The H
clever stories, the he-and-she tales, and I
those psychological vivisections of female
character, and the made-photograhpic pic
ture-? of men, have wearied me. I do not
like tobasco for soup; chutney for fish,
flesh, and good, red herring; olives eter
nally for vegetables; a salad that is all
mustard; pickles for dessert, and Worces
tershire for my drink.
”1 am weary of literary spice served on
picklelilly. I long for bread and butter,
books; potatoes and beef books: even a
newspaper boiled dinner. Striving after
cleverness has became a literary disease.
It rasps and Addles on my nerves like a
single sound monotonously repeated. The
epigrams drip on my weakening brain like
the spattering drops on the head of a Chi
naman's victim. The » pigramaphone—the
pnlarrn mn nhone!"
He paused in weariness. Then he con
tinued as he gazed on the smart blue and
yellow cover, with symbolic design in red
and gold, of "The Black Doormat" 0,000,
ooo published before it was printed., for
ten seconds the largest selling book of the
week); at the smart magenta and green
cover of "The East Wind" (a magazine of
scintillations); 113.000 copies printed this
month, and at tile smart camel drab and
honey-yellow lithographed cover of the
"Weekly-Stltch-in-the-Side" (devoted to
clevorntssi. a larger circulation than the
combined circulation of all other publica
tions. itself included; "More epigrams,
more cleverness; more smartness; more
bubbles; more sparkles; more predigested
witticism: more waggery for young and
old, and more humorous, incisive phil
osophy of life." |
lie picked up the ' Stitch." ran through
It hastily to see that nil the servants,
MJeks. Rubes. Dagoes, Jews. Hams anil
acrobatic illustrations were present, and
then he began to read: "Agraham John
son, the w U-known bootblack, at the
corner of Wall street and Riverside drive,
tells the following good story concerning
President Roosevelt.”
There was the sound of tearing paper,
and a pile of scraps found their way to
the wastebasket. It was the "Stitch."
price 10 cents. The Habit was angry, for
lie muttered: "Does that man do nothing
but put in his time performing tricks that
are worth space rates? This is the six
teenth-thousandth that 1 have read this
week."
"The Black Doormat" was opened wear
ily. "Blue Mud was holding holiday.
Three-Toed Charlie, in a tit of abstraction,
had taken a wife. It was Cling Stone
Pete's wife, and that meant trouble. A
crowd of men stood before the Yellow Hen
saloon-"
The book crashed through the window
and from the street there arose a terrible
shriek. The Habit turned pale, and in
his exoit, nil-lit hurriedly took out a note
book and Jotted down his name and ad
dress. But evidently the blow has been
sitfilclent. for there was nothing but
silence now. So the Habit resumed his
thinking. "if we could only lie taught
not to lie clever, not to be bright. If we \
could only forget how to read: It I had
Cadmus here. Id throttle him!"
And he picked up a publisher's cata
logue. the most readable of all literature,
ami was soon busy and happy marking
