A prominent official was taking a

the president of the local club at a

Shortly thereafter the meeting
broke up in a row because ten women

six other clubs wanted to arrange
dinners, also.
The engagement of popular So

"What shall we do?" asked the

"Give luncheons and dinners for

A TALK ON STORY WRITING.
BY FLORA STEWART EMORY.

First of all be sure you feel what
you are writing. 1 do not believe
one can successfully portray a scene
his eyes, either physical or mental,
have not gazed upon; can not de-
scribe character the like of which he
has never met nor can he breathe
of an emotion which he has not ex-
perienced. In minor points he can
deal with the unfamiliar but the sub
iect matter must be real life, either as
it is, or as the author conceives of it
as being.
Circumstances alter cases and the
happy domestic woman who writes of
the uncontrolled love of her heroine
feels within herself the same possibil-
tiles of uncontrol. She may never
commit the acts of her heroine, for
her life runs along on an entirely diff
ferent channel, yet were circum-
stances the same around her as are
around her heroine she, too, would do
the same.
Then again if one wishes to be sue
cessful in story writing, he must
know a great deal of human nature,
not as it is on the surface but nature
below the surface. One must delve
way down in it.
An author must not c1eate charac-
ters, he must find them in the every
day walks of life. Of course they
need retouching, as does the pale,
beautiful actress, for the literary foot
lights are as glaring as those of the
stage.
Unless, however, a character ex-
lists, either in part or whole, all the
literary rouge on earth can not erase
the stamp of unreality, hatness, and
insipidness. There must be real love,
real life back of Our characters.
Some one has said. that we can not
see that which has not its counter
part within ourselves. This is a
statement easily misunderstood. A
temperate man would say, Because
I see yonder man drunk does not
make me drunkard. Neither does
it, but if that temperate man has the
slightest conception of the drunkard' s
feelings then there is surely some
thing akin between them.
One may feel the utmost 1oathing
for a sin, yet have within him the
scattered possibilities which together
go to make up the external act.
For this reason truly successful
writer must be one who has equal
possibilities for good and bad. AS
far as I am personally concerned l
have very little sympathy with man
or woman who is not capable of every
human sin q do not say crime, kind
1y note the diference.) But I have
still less sympathy with those who
indulge their capabilities.
My meaning must not be under
stood there are those who would, if
they could, find fault with my senti-
ments. 1 have friend, one of those
cold -blooded creatures who are actu-
ally sweet tempered all through Au-
gust and can almost hear her say
"You would then have all writers
immoral to be successful"
To her and others like her, l wish
to say quite distinctly that if writer
is immoral he is not successful. But
1 will add, that he must not be man
who on July day can wear an over

SUGGESTIONS FOR PARENTS.

What will be to many new
thought in regard to children is the
suggestion made in GOOD HauSekeeb-
ing that elders could add much to the
happiness of children if, instead of
painting the future very bright, the
effort should be to lay stress on the
Joys that are theirs alone. 1t is sug-
gested that if, instead of saying, "You
may not do that now wait until you
are older" we would say, "You may
do that now, while you are young
later you cannot do it," we could give
our children a certain valued sense of
prerogative and take away much of
the envy they feel toward adults. 1t
is surprising how many times in
day mother finds occasion for say
ing, "Wait until you are older, or,
"When you are older you will under
stand" To continually talk in this
strain gives the child the impression
that he is of little Importance until he
has become a grown-up. If we had
been warned, "Ride your pony now,
while you are small ; by and by your
legs will drag on the ground" every
canter would have been precious. 1t is
surely worth while to impress upon
children the beauty and the privileges
of their golden days.

stop him from shooting when the man opened

time

One of the latest is that celery is a
cure for rheumatism; indeed, it is as
serted that the disease is impossible
if the vegetable be cooked and freely
eaten. The celery should be cut into
pieces and boiled in water until soft
and the water drunk by the patient.
Put new milk, with little flour and
nutmeg, into the saucepan with the
boiled celery, serve it warm with pieces
of toast, eat 1t with potatoes and the
painful ailment will soon yield. Such
is the declaration of a physician who
has again and again tried the expert

adds that cold ar damp never produces

THE COMMONER,

Mr.. Bryans Paper.
The Commoner has attained within
six months from date of the first issue a
circulation of 100, 900 copies, record
probably never equaled in history of
American periodical literature. The un-
paralleled growth of this paper demon
strates that there is room in the news
paper field for national paper devoted
to the discussion of political, economic
and social problems. To the columns
of The Commoner, MIR. Bryan contrib
utes his best efforts; and his review of
political events as they arise from time
to time can not fail to interest those
who study public questions.
The Commoner' regular subscription
price is $l.00 per year. We have ar
ranged with Mr.. Bryan whereby we
can furnish his paper and the weekly
Democrat together for one year for
Sl.50. irregular subscription price of
the two papers when subscribed for
separately is $500.
