That was the song with which the
poet Of the Sierras greeted the Salem
reporter who first called on him at Ho-
tel Willamette On his arrival by the
Dallas stage.
"God made the world beautiful and
good. He made the garden Of Eden and
planted II with all that was fairest and
best. Man was merely an alter
thought-put In 10 tend the garden

and the universe was made for him.

ARE THE BEST
 STORIES TRUE
By Mary D. wilkins.

It almost goes without saying that the best stories must be true in the highest sense. In them the two and two of human emotion and experience must always make the four of natural result. The revelations of character must have the Nights and shades of their own circumstances and no others upon them, or the story will be es- sentially false. But when it comes to the question: Are the best stories true in the ordniray sense of the word?9 l doubt it. 2 1t is tsefaom If ever mat an exast, or exact a4. possible rendering of an occurrence, CT "a hait1fta record of a life gives the most artistic and the best results. It is mot even . as True as Untruth though that sounds paradoxtcal It is eye and ear work, but mot Esoufvwlork. The truth Is that of the surface only; there are revelations of depths, no retrospect and no forecast. It is mot even as reliable as photography. It is more Nike the tracing of the baret out l5nes of a life seen against the fall of its own environments, and of no more value than a dhIld's sketch upon the sohoolyard fence.
 Of course story which lis a story and mot Ia mere newspaper report, is seldom, if ever, told with such utter regard for and stern adherence to the actualbties. They almost never are true; it is impossible that they should be. There Is uhe inevitable mark of the authors own individuality upon them; the results of his own expert ences on similar Hines, which give him points of comparison; he exaggerates, un- consciously often, simply because of some ffaborn s1Iort or far sig'htedness. Simple si5atements can be made. One can write tElapt Betsey Jones and William Smith were born and brought up in the same village; that Betsey was soft and gentle and fadr; tlnaJt William was proud and reserved and dark; that early friendship rlpened Unto 8ove; tGTa't they finally married and lived fin peace and happiness ever after. But when one trdes to develop bare and un-

 Of course all this is one opinion only. It may be, after all, that the strictly true
 stories, as strictly true as possible, for which we inquired In our artless and credu- lous childhood are the best. It is poSsHble5 that lthe H1lonest youth of whom I know
