BURNETT Newport, Tennessee it i NOVELS WITHOUT ENDINGS. Six Famous 8torla to Which Daath Wrt th. Word ""Inis. . There are about six famous nov els in the English language which have only a beginning. Like the grandfather's clock, "ther stop short never toy go again," because the author, when he had got so far, laid down his pen and died before he could take it up again. The most famous of these is, of course, "The Mystery of Edwin Drood," which some critics think would have been Dickens' master piece had he lived to finish it. But there it stands, unfinished, and the brain that conceived it carried to the grave the solution of the mys tery and a mystery it remains to this day, in spite of countless efforts to solve it. I ' Kobert Louis Stevenson also left an unfinished novel upon which he was engaged when death ended his labors. The novel wns entitled "St. Ives," but happily there was more to go upon than in the case of "Ed win Drood," and it is generally ad mitted that Sir Quillcr-Couch made one of the best attempts on record to finish another man's novel. He proved quite the ideal man for the job. While everybody knows that Dickens left a novel unfinished, few know that his great rival, Thack eray, did the same thing. The. nov elist had just started the Cornhill Magazine, of which the most promi nent feature was a novel from the editor's pen entitled "Denis Duval," whiqh he was writing month , by month as the installment fell due. Suddenly he died, and the serial was but half finished. Happily, how ever, the careful Thackeray had left full notes for the development of the story, which was finished by Frederick Greenwood. Who has not read "Pride and Prejudice" and "Sense nnd Sensi bility," the productions of a quiet, consumptive little woman named Jane Austen? The white scourge carried her off when she was in the midst of another masterpiece, en titled "The Watsons," which was found in her desk after her death. What the world lost when Char lotte Bronte died, after a brief year of married life, who can say? It certainly missed a nameless novel which the gifted author of "Jane Eyre" had started. But so little had she done of it that none of her successors in fiction hr. had the te merity to attempt even-to finish if, and it is likely ever to remain an in teresting fragment. - In this respect it may be compar ed to nnofher unfinished work. Ed gar Allan Poe's weird story,' "The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pvm." Who could finish that story? It is doubtful whether Poe liimsclf rou'd. for he lived eleven year aftor it was first published in its frag mentary condition. Philadelphia Ledger. Luck In Disquiss. "Don't tell mo after this". said Mrs. Mcdford as she put her paper aside, "that there's nothing in luck." "Who's been having luck now?" her husband asked. "The Caldwell". Bnrelan broke into their house last night." "Oh! I thought from the way you spoke somebody had been hav- i ing a streak of good luck." j "It was good luck..

Chicago Pecord-llerald. around,' "the necktie of the hand somest man in the room is even now up the back of his collar." And then she smiled, for every man Ijrcsent had put his hand up be tind his neck! A Sad Misfortune. Jaht Tannenbatini, who owns a big theater In Mobile, goes to New York two or three times n year nnd there meets' a lot of his frelnds. One morn ing, before be had left hi hotel for a stroll on Broadway, u press agent who had met him In Mobile rushed In and engineered n swift touch. : "Mr. TannenbHum," he anld breath essly4 ."I've got to have $20! It's a matter of life nnd death. Lend me that twenty, will you?" "Thnt all very well." replied Tan nenbuuin, "but when do I get It back?" . "l trive It back to you at "2 o'clock this afternoon." the press agent reas sured him. y "Hut will your "Mr. Tannenbaum. I'll give It to yon at that time If I'm alive." The theater owner handed out the money. At 2:80 that afternoon .lake walked down Broadway, displaying on his coat sleeve a tremendous band of crape. There were tears in his eyes, and If Nlobe had been living he would have made her grief look like a fit of laugh ing hysterics. "It's a sad thing." he lamented. "I'm all broken up: A young friend of mine, a press agent whom 1 knew well in Mobile, died some time before 2 o'clock this aftemoon"-Popular Mag azine. Ho Knew latter. It was a bitter cold day, the snow was deep and the sidewalks frozen hard. . A colored man, bundled up tu a moth eaten chinchilla coat, stood shivering against a building trying to avoid the freezing blasts. Just then another darky, dressed In thin, threadbare clothes nnd with no overcoat came out of a nearby barber shop and started up the street, whis tling cheerily. Still whistling, he pass ed nnd glanced up fit the darky in the big chinchilla coat. The latter took one withering look at the passerby and yelled: , "Say. niggah. you can whistle as loud as you please, but you can't make me believe it ain't cold." Pittsburgh Chronicle-Telegraph. Trouble of an Amateur. ! " "I thought you had gone to rais iing bee.," said the man from the city. I don t see any sign of them around here." "I had half a dozen colonies of the finest bees I could get,"'ansvcr cd the suburbanite, "and a whole library on bee racing, but thev i swarmed one day, and while I was looking through my books to find out what was 1 lie proper thing to do when bees swarmed the blamed things flew away, and I've never seen cm since. Chicago Tribune. Men Are Not Vain, They were talking of the vanity of women and one of the few ladies present undertook a defense. "Of course," she said, "I admit that wo men are vain and men are not. Why," she added,, .with a glance Early British Money. Small change was more common in Saxon days than at later periods in English history, for, while the Normans coined nothing but silver, tho earlier Saxons were accustomed to the use of brass in addition. The number of things not always met als of which British coins have been made is surprising. Julius Caesar is said to have coined leather money in Britain. James II. tried pewter and gu:i mclal, and some antiquaries have thought that pieces of coal were once used as money. At any rate, coal was once a slang term for money, as is the French braise (live coal) at the present day. The Typowriter, Inventors wore at work over fifty years ago endeavoring to make n typewriter that could answer the purposes for which the machines are now used, but it was not until 1873 that the device was so improved as to be made practicable. There were many machines constructed for mechanical writiug which were in the main similar in principle to those in present use that is, in the use of keys for manipulating mov able typo, but the dilliculty was in getting the machines to work sutis factorily.

The mental "attitude determines the tendency of the life. Accord ing to this law, there is everything in feeling rich, rich in everything that is good for us, everything that will help us to become what we in tend to become. Many people have' sof long felt poor and imagined that thur lives must necessarily be dry and barren of comforts and luxuries which others enjoy that they have- en couraged such conditions. The hab it of feeling that you are poor and unfortunate; that the good things of life are for others, but not for you; that there is something. in the universe which permits such condi tions, is deadening to all the noblo impulses, deadening to all that makes character, all that makes life beautiful. The way to make the ideal the real is persistently to hold the thought of their identity. The wa to demonstrate abundance is to hold it constantly in the mind, frequent ly to sav to yourself, "All that my Father hath is mine." "The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want." If all this is true (and you know that it is) any want or lack in your life is abnormal. If you woul,d use the same effort and energy to see prosperity and to picture plenty as you do poverty, you would not long be poor. Yon would very soon get away from these distressing conditions. But somehow the whole human race has 6uch a horror of poverty that they concentrate upon it and attract it. The man who thinks he is going to be unlucky in everything he at tempts is infinitely more likely to be so than ' the man who is filled with confidence, assurance and ex pectancy of success, because a fail ure atmosphere creates a negative, unproducing mentality, while a hopeful, expectant assurance, confi dence, creates a productive mental ity which does things, achieves. Orison Swett Harden in Nautilus. A Story of Jenny Lind. When Jenny Lind visited Edin burgh in ISCj she went into a music seller's in Princess street to buy some songs. The young man who served her, not knowing who stood before him, asked if she had heard the great Jenny Lind. The answer was in the affirmative, and tho stranger then put the same question to him. IJogrct fully he replied that he had not been able to afford' to go, much as he desired. Jenny Lind then asked him to play the accom paniment of the song she held in her hand. Unconscious of every thing except the rich notes which poured from the singer's throat, the young nun played on. When the song was finished the great singer 'remarked, "Now you have heard Jenny Lind!" and left the shop without waiting for any thanks. Her Recitation. 'Tut some spirit into it, child," shouted the father, who is an actor. "Make some gestures. What is she reciting, anyhow?" he demanded of his wife. "She won't need any gestures with this," retorted the latter. "She U reciting the multiplication table." -New York American. Rheumatism Relieved In a Few Honrs N. It.
