Felix Feneon Editing La Revue Blanche --painted by Felix Vallotton
from Nouvelles en trois lignes/Three Line News Items/ Short Stories
with perhaps "more in mind" than his own punning use of the Faits Divers' Nouvelles en trois lignes--
he may have been thinking also of the example of Gusrave Flaubert
who several decades earlier had created out of a provincial journal’s Faits Divers the novel Madame Bovary:
“Delphine Delamare, 27, wife of a medical officer in Ry, displayed insufficient austerity. Worse, she ran up debts. To avoid paying them, she took poison.”
Nurse Elise Bachmann, whose day off was yesterday, put
on a public display of insanity.
A complaint was sworn by the Persian physician Djai Khan
against a compatriot who had stolen from him a tiara.
A dozen hawkers who had been announcing news of a
nonexistent anarchist bombing at the Madeleine have
been arrested.
A certain madwoman arrested downtown falsely claimed
to be nurse Elise Bachmann. The latter is perfectly sane.
On Place du Pantheon, a heated group of voters attempted
to roast an effigy of M. Auffray, the losing candidate. They
were dispersed.
Arrested in Saint-Germain for petty theft, Joël Guilbert
drank sublimate. He was detoxified, but died yesterday of
delirium tremens.
The photographer Joachim Berthoud could not get over the
death of his wife. He killed himself in Fontanay-sous-Bois.
Reverend Andrieux, of Roannes, near Aurillac, whom a
pitiless husband perforated Wednesday with two rifle
shots, died last night.
In political disagreements, M. Begouen, journalist, and
M. Bepmale, MP, had called one another "thief" and
"liar." They have reconciled.

Grazie sempre tanti per il nostro correspondente di Guerra, d' Arte e avvenimenti dice "Paranormal"--

G-P Vidiamodopo
During a screening of the remake of The Day the Earth Stood still, in a remote village in the Bolivian Andes,the screen opened suddenly, and from it emerged the robot Klaatu, who walked straight down the aisle and out of the cinema. Following him
to remote heights, the audience observed the Earth Stand Still.and out of it emerge the Ancestors, Beings not unlike Klaatu, so that descendents and antecedents joined in dance and much chewing of Coca.
Not satisfied with bombing only the living, Israeli planes also made quick work of Gaza's cemeteries. Apprised of the situation, Director George Romero and a skeleton crew flew immediately to the area, to document the living scenes of the Living Dead emerging, and setting out for Israel, groaning with hunger.
