The Glory OF War.

Q the glory of the war tmc-thc glitter
of the guns
When the boys are on parade-parade.
The Clashing of the battle
Its deafcnng roar and rattle
And then-the life-blood dripping from
the blade,
AMI under dropping flags
That bullets rend to rags.
The lone graves in the barren meadows
made,
O the glory Of the war time-the rolling
of the drums
When the boys are on parade-parade.
But the missing faces
The phantoms in their places
The red rain on the soldiers broken
blade
And still beneath dronped flags
BY bullets rent to rags.
The lone graves in the barren meadows
made,
Atlanta Constitution.

SHE EARNED $170 A DAY.

Miss Joanna E. Wood, the Phi adal- phia girl who recently received $500 for three days work, is living illus tration of what thousands of women, tor men, for that matter) might do in the way of earning money without setting foot outside of their own homes. This girl determined to earn a living with her pen. The trouble was, of course, to find publisher who would give an unknown writer chance, who was not too deep-dyed-in- the-wool a believer in the theory that name and fame are indispensibly nec- essary to the telling of a good story. So when, one day, she read that the Short-story Publishing company of Boston, Mass, paid from $100 to $1,500 apiece for stories, no matter by whom written, so long as the stories were short, original, clean, clever, and fas- cinating, and were submitted st ictly according to the company's printed conditions Miss Wood set to work with a will. In three days she had finished her story, "The Heart of God" for which the company prompt ly paid her $500, and which will appear in the March number of The Back Cat.
 The New York Press devOtes nearly two columns of praise to the new de parture in the story telling art, which this fascinating magazine inaugurated, and adds that no publication has done so much for unknown writers and for the great body of intelligent people who read and love good story for the story's sake.
 The publishers of the Black Cat rightly believe that there are thou sands of men and women unknown to literary fame, who, if given the op- portunity and proper reward, can write as clever stories as have ever been written. They have therefore begun a prize story competition un- der which the writers of accepted sto- ries will receive all the way from $100 to $1,500 in cash. Any one who has | good story to tell should not fail to embrace the opportunity thus present ed. All should bear in mind, however that no manuscript will be considered at all unless it is submitted in accord. ance with the conditions in the Black Cat copy of which may be had of al
 most any newsdealer for five cents, ol
 will be mailed by the Shortstory com
 pany of Boston. The competitor
 closes on the last day of March.

1.-THE VAIL OF THE OUTSn

Under the above caption the Jour nal-Miner expresses itself regarding home rule as follows:
 ''The home rule cry is the vail of the 'outs,' to get an opportunity to try and get in. So long as a demo- cratic administration was in power in Washington, no one ever heard of home rule. When the administra- tion changed there and with it came a change of officials in Arizona aspir- ing democratic politicians knew there was no hope for their appointment, and having nothing to lose and a pos sibility of gain by election, they suddenly became ardent howlers for home rule.
 Whenever you see man shouting ardently for home rule you may al once point out a man who wants to be ruler. The abuse of republican off cials is characteristic argument ir favor of this doctrine as may be wit. messed by perusing almost any demo cratic paper in the territory advocat ing it. The kind of home rule tha Arizona wants is the genuine kint which can be secured only through ad mission as a state. To this there ii little objection"
