ill their orders and are refusing all new
overtures. And these are not writers
Of fame either. They are men and
women who have an accurate idea of
what the good part of the reading pub

ply it. For such literary workers there
is AN abundance of room.
1t is not a question of reputation; it
is entirely one of correctly filling a
want. And that young author of to-
lay is wisest who first ascertains what
is needed and then tries TO supply it,
instead of the reverse. as thousands are
doing today and missing fire. The beet
literary training for the modern young

demand rather than the supply. That
is one class for which. literary success is

Probably most readers have seen or

said that il is a bushy plant growing
eighteen inches to two feet in height,
having a small root and the branches

Oregon, and especially along the line

the summer fauow IS seeded, the har
rows tear up these weeds, but as they
are tough and wiry and are not broken

when Bagpipe. Had No Charms.

An amusing episode recorded of the
Peninsular war seems TO prove thai
even the charms of our beautiful ma
tiOnal bagpipes fail TO soothe these a v
age beasts. IL happened that, while
one Of the Highland regiments was
marching across a desolate part Of
Spain, one Of the pipers for some ineI-
plicable reason found himself separated
from his comrades. Hating on a lone
" plain, he sat down TO eat his break
fast, when to his horror he saw wolves
approaching. When they came very
near he flung them all the food he had
with him. fully conscious, however,
that his meager meal would not stay
their advance for many seconds.
With the calmness of desperation he
then said, "As we've had the meat yen
haze the music, too" and thereupon he
proceeded 10 blow up his chanter."
No sooner did his unwelcome guests
hear the fnt ''skirl" of the pipes than
they turned in wild terror and fed as
fast as their long legs would carry
them. Dell hae ye!" said the piper
had | thocht ye were so fond o the
music We wad haze gotten it afore meat
instead o. after!'' Then hungrily he
went his way, not forgetting from time

shrill as might effectually scare any
