The Girare,s Timidity.

A giraffe is very timid on hearing
slight sounds but is Indifferent TO loud
ones. A writer In The Leisure Hour
says
Noisy sounds, like a man walking by
with hobnail boots. 1t does not notice,
but a lady coming in with hardly more
sound than the rustling OF her dress
makes it start, with prieked ears and
eyes dlstended.
We remember well, after a terrible
explosion of gunpowder on a barge on
the canal, asking the keeper of the gil
RATES. of that day how they had taken
1t, and he said he was surprised how
very little notice they took. They
jumped TO their feet, but almost at
once lay down again when they found
nothing happened.
But" he added. "if | were at night
time TO creep along that gallery in my
socks they would be so scared that
believe they would dash themselves to
bits"
They fear the lurking foe, and bling
bang scares them less than a faint,
rustling sound. They are in that re-
spect very deerlike.

There are many Of these In Wisconsin

In the "sa wdust towns" the small

THE REPORTERS METHODS.


Marked Difference From Those of the
Orator. Preacher and Novelist.
Probably not one reader In hundred
has paused to notice that a newspaper
article is written on a plan just the re-
verse of that of a sermon or grafton.
Comparatively few ministers have an
alyzed the subject sufficiently TO notice
this fact, and their ignorance of 1t will
often account for the reluctance of
newspapers to accept matter contribut-
ed by them. 1t Is worth the while of
every man and woman TO know the
general plan on which newspaper arti-
Giles are written, for almost everybody
desires at times to announce something
through the press. The mere knowl-
edge of the theory will not make a sue
cessful writer in this or any other de-
partment, but 1t is the first step.
The skillful preacher or orator usual
ly reserves his most important points
until toward the end of his discourse,
closing with a climax; the skillful
newspaper reporter puts his climax ill.,
to his first sentence and ends with the
most nonessential detail. While the
novelist secures his dramatic effect by
keeping the secret of his story hidden
as long as possible, the reporter attains
success by revealing his secret as
quickly as words will let him. Both
are working on principles as clearly
defined as that on which a sonnet is
constructed, but the modern newspa-
per article is of so much more recent
date that few critics have analysed 1t.
writers work daily upon the foregoing
principle without knowing 1t. No man
can work many days under metropol-
itan city editor without learning it,

Shcridan's Wit.

Richard Brinsley Sheridan was one

purposes and intentions are substantially
the same as those embraced in Secretary
Hays noteworthy circular of the Sd of
July.
In that circular Secretary Hay announced
traditional policy of peace with the Chinese
nation. of furtherance of lawful commerce
and of protection of lives and property of
American citizens, and its purpose % pre-

has also acted steadfastly in the same line,
and the attitude of Germany Is clearly in
