An Editors Confessions.

Years ago young and thoughtless
man carrying on the profession, trade or
business Of free lance journalist pre-
sumed TO congratulate friend upon the
dignity Of his position as assistant edi-
tor Of great daily papeT. Those were
the days when editors were editors,
When nobody dreamed of assigning tho
title Of news editor or sporting edi-
tor to the man who divided his time
between the scissors, the paste and the
noisome and oleaginOUs himsy or TO the
man who knocked into shape the effu-
sions Of the sporting reporter. Thoge
were the days also when to be an assist
ant editor was 70 occupy a position of
responsibility, trust and power, where
as in these times the assistant editor Is
too often nothing better than the edit
or's secretary. The assistant editor and
the free lance journalist were not far
apart in sge. They had almost been
contemporaries ut Oxford, but the man
Of digniiied position had harassed and
weary look, tired eyes and ragged
beard, and the free lance was young
and lusty as an eagle. And this wac the
answer to the conEratUlation:
Ny dear X, wait until you have
tried your hand as an oditor, then you
viii know what it Is TO long for TIE
days that are past. You will realize THAI
the life Of a tolerably successful con-
tributor is q thousand times more choice
worthy than that of an editor. I used to

has been living at Matamoros,
Just across from Brownsville,

months prosecuting their claim
from this point. Yesterday
the eldest son informed a News

Not Eager For Service In cubp.

Spanish soldiers are betTaying an in
surImountaDle aversion TO campaign in
Cuba, and assertions have been very
frequent Of late. This has led to the
adoption ST an extremely strict suryeil-

all the trains running to France are

JUVENILE LITERATuRE.
In France It Is Prln to tho Extreme Of

IN france 1t Is Trim TO tho Extreme o.
Insiptdity.
Literature IN our country not having
as it's aim either instruction or amuse-
ment, but the production Of works of
art, is forbidden to French children.
except fairy tales Perault has written
masterpieces; Mime. d'Aulnoy and 9TH
ers have followed him. Tho fairies of
other countries may have been more
poetic, but they have never been as wit
ty as the French. Leaving fairy tales
aside, children were obliged for IA long
time to be satisfied with The very slight
collection bequeathed by Berguin,
Bouihy, Mime. de Genlis, those clever
people and who know how to coat moral
lesson with THU layer of pictures, as
bitter pills are coated with sugar. In
fact, this is the French parents very
ideal in the matter Of story books, and
to please them the lesson must not 10
too we'll coated or hard TO find. for the
spirit of investigation is not encouraged
in young readers.
During the past 90 years, however,
the meager library at their disposal has
grown wonderfully. Celebrated pens
have contributed toward it. We need but
mention Jules Verne, whose scientific
fairy tales have, alas, almost completely
dethroned those that appealed to the
imagination alone. But neither in his
books, nor in those of any of his com
petitors, will you ever find what both
English and American writers currently
| permit themselves to do--namely, TO ar
raign a relative, as, for instance. the
wicked uncle in kidnapped, or to
make teachers hateful, or merely ridiou-
lOus, as is the case in Dickens works.
This would be an outrage upon the re-
spect due them in the aggregate. For
this reason TRANSACTIONS are nearly al
ways expurgated. The friendly adop-
tion of poor Laurie by the four girls in
Little Women" would be considered
very unseemly. Yet, for all that, they
were good little New England girls. T.
B. Aldrioh's "Story of a Bad Boy" was
deprived of one OF its prettiest chapters,
the one about his childish love for big
girl 1T is useless. they say, to draw
attention to that kind of danger"
Authors and editors are often greatly
perpleBed before this severe tribunal Of
French parents The difference between
the books children are allowed to read
in France and those sought by their
elders, the contrast between the taste
less pap on one side and the internal
spiceness on the other, must greatly as
tonish both English and American read
ers, who nearly all accept the same lit
erary diet, young and old, parents and
children. TIL. Benton in Century.
