something Entirely New.

The spacewriter seemed elated over
something as he entered the office of the
managing editor, says the Chicago Post.
Il have a great scheme" he said en-
Enthusiastically.
''Yes?' said the managing editor in
coldly inquiring tone.
The managing editor has great schemes
proposed to him on an average of TWENTY
three times a day every working day In
the year, and in consequence he has
reacher a point where he doesn't enthuse
very readily

something entirely new. 1 don't believe
II ever has been done in the whole history
of the word"
Possibly that's because 1t hasn't been
considered worth doing" suggested the
managing editor, but the spacewriter ig-
nored the suggestion and proceeded to I'M
fold his scheme in his own way.
What would you think" he asked "ot

alone In the broiling city while his wife

man wouldn't sit in the front row at The

ooh. no. not at ALL He wouldn't teka
either"
Really"
Certainly not. Neither would he spend
his evenings playing poker at the club
and after writing to his wife about his
loneliness; nor would he take the pretty
girls driving and I'LL them up with ice
cream and firt and otherwise make a fool
of himself
Wh-what would he do?' asked the
managing editor. aghast
That's just where the novelty of my
story comes in replied the space writer
| proudly. He would behave himself pro-
perly, as self-respecting married man
should, and he would be really and TRULY
lonely, although he wouldn't say much
about it for fear of spelling his enjoyment

absolutely new and novel in the story
line, and think 1t ought to"
1T is new enough" interrupted the man.
aging editor reproachfully, but 1 don't
see how you can expect us. to pay space
rates for a story written to square your
self with your wife for your antics while

like to have our stories possible and pro-
bable."

added, that there's nothing in this day
to call forth exhibitions of high courage
and true fearlessness. Let the occasion
arise, let the country be IN peril let trail

put men TO the test, and you would see
that we would match in splendid courage
the heroes of any age!
