There are few men, fewer women, who Ho not enjoy a thoroughly good short story. To gratify this almost universal taste arrangements have been made by this paper to secure for its readers i series of original stories of a character superior to any that have hitherto appeared in any newspaper, and that the highest class magazines cannot hope to surpass. This is an idea that is sure to prove to our readers as pleasing as it is new. The stories will be published weekly, and each will be complete. They will be illustrated with pictures of a class it has always been deemed impossible for newspapers to attempt to present first, because of the great expense of obtaining original illustrations from artists of the highest rank; and, next, because of the mechanical difficulties that prevented the proper presentation of such illustra- ; tions in the pages of a newspaper. - Both those obstacles have been overcome, and thus this new newspaper idea has been made possible. This series will be made up of contributions from the pens of the men and women who have won foremost place among the writers v .... of the short story a department of literary art in .which America has always held enviable prominence. They are the writers whose names hold leading place on the contents lists of the leading magazines of the country, the writers who are breathing fresh life and vigor into our literature and whose combined efforts are raising it to higher and higher levels, both in conception and in technical perfection of execution. They are the young writers, the writers of the day who portray the life of the day, and whose lines of interesting, absorbing fiction are hewn closer to the truth than are the drier lines of those who profess to write only of facts. Among the writers from whom stories have already been ob

tained for this series is O. Henry, whose versatile pen Has won fame throughout the land for its humor and its pathos, for its adventurous farce and its delicate touch when dealing with the gravest of subjects, and always, always for its truthfully realistic presentation of the life amid which we move to-day. Leo Crane, with his knowledge gained by stern experience of the wild, frozen lands of the Northwest, writes of the Argonauts of today and of the tragic incidents into which they are led in their search for gold. Hugh O. Pentecost, divine, lawyer, journalist, sociologist and philosopher, who has always had in view the study of humanity, writes, with fiction as his medium, of life as he has found it, of the passions that mould and control life. And "John Oliver Hobbes," Mrs. Craigie, whose death caused mourning on both sides of the Atlantic among the many thousands who had learned to love her through her stories, will still speak to those friends through stories that will appear in this series, stories that have never yet been published. But to -continue the list of authors who contribute to the series would require extended space. To mention but a few, there are Charles Battel I Loomis, a prince in the kingdom of humor; Eugene Wood, Hugh Pendexter, Owen Oliver, Grace McGowan Cook, Margaret Foster, Walter, Hackctt, Ellen M. Palmer, Annie Hamilton Donnell, Henry Irving Dodge, Jeannette Cooper, Zona Gale, Theodosia I. Garrison. The mere reading of the names proves that mental food' for every taste will be given, be that taste inclined to smiling humor, to laughing farce, to psychological study of mind and heart, to stirring incident or tragic adventure. Every phase of life will be touched

up'on and illumined with fiction that is truer than fact can ever hope to be. I And in securing artists to illustrate the stories there has been kept in view more than the mere selection of brush or pencil that has given proof of high artistic conception and skilled technique of execution. There has been kept ever in mind the necessity of so mating pen and pencil that there would be commingling of spirit, and that the illustration presented to the eye of the reader, while pleasing with its technical truth and beauty, would also convey to the mind the spirit of the scenes and characters portrayed. In this twofold direction no newspaper has ever before attempted to venture. As a consequence, there will be found a diversity of manner anft of touch in the illustrations corresponding to that distinguishing the stories they illustrate. Among the artists who will illustrate the stories are A. MetKfessel, who has extended the walls of his studio so that it embraces all out-doors, and whose models are found on every highway and every byway; Ike Morgan, whose, illustrations are sought for by the leading magazines of the country; Walter Whitehead, who in furnishing illustrations for this series has had recourse to brush and oil and canvas to enable him to do justice to his subject; Jerome Uhl, who is noted for his realistic portrayal of the Chinaman in every phase of the life he lives apart, in the tortuous dens to which the Caucasian seldom gains entrance; and in their company will work many other artists of equal skill and fame. Thus our readers may well look forward with pleasurable anticipation to the inauguration of this new newspaper idea.

FOR THE" CHILDREN

A boat Persia Powder.

Young readers will be surprised to hear perhaps that most of the so called "Persian insect powder" now sold and used in this country is the product of

a single farm 300 acres in extent in

the state of California, says the Chi

cago News. It Is produced from a plant that closely resembles the field

daisy and depends for its efficacy on a greenish vegetable oil, which, though

harmless to other kinds of animals.

suffocates Insects. Not many years ago

Insect powder cost about $15 or $16 a pound; today it is sold for 40 cents or

less. In those days the source of the supply and the nature of the product were a mystery.. It had been In nse in Asiatic countries for centuries, being exported from Transcaucasia, where the natives did a large and profitable business in its manufacture. . Eventually an Armenian merchant discovered the secret, which was that the powder was the pulverized flower heads of a species of pyrethrum that grew wild in the mountains. Many attempts were made to introduce the plant into the United States, but at first without success because the seeds sold to Americans had been baked to prevent them from sprouting.

The Lady aad Leopard. One day a worthy housewife in Kaffirland came out from her cooking and, 6tand!fig on the ledge of rock at her back door in a perfectly natural way, emptied a pan of boiling dishwater Into the rank herbage below. It fell, splash, on the back of a sleeping leopard, who jumped right up in the air as high as the roof of the hut. What might have happened next, who can say. But the astonished woman dropped the tin pan with a clang upon the rock, and the leopard took one leap down the bill.
