Read This Before You Write.


Never write poetry until you are at
lenst 30. unless you fall in love, when
It will come to you like the measles.
You would better begin with stories
that Is. IL you have leading idea and
can invent situations. Do not attempt
the novel until you have passed your
fortieth year. A novel requires
knowledge of men and manners, n
study of human character, and powers
10 create dialogue and invent surprises.
I know that there have been instances
when very young men have written
clever poems and novels. but these
were freaks OF genius which do not
often occur. Avoid attempts at hu-
NOR. That mine has already been
worked for more than It Is worth. and
the best of It seems TO be labored
What the funny men do produce is moi
equal to the unlntentional humoi
which IS to be found IN congressional
speeches on the tariff. and In the ole
fashioned epitaphs in the country
churchyards.-T Dunn English

Mrs. Payton is having the Criterion

cost Of 100000 and hopes to cater to
those who appreciate the exclusive
drama, as did the patrons Of Mrs.

place OF amusement for her field.
She will not only have a place OF
amusement for the ''grown-ups,' but
for children, for whom she viii have

who patronize Mrs. Payton's Theatre

A. Covalt, the director Of the band. is doing
much toward the enjoyment Of it's visitors.
Covalt's Manawa band is already known to
lovers OF fine music as one Of the finest
bands ever brought together in this part
Of the country. II astonished people on FRI
day morning last when II serenaded the
newspaper Offices. While they had seen the
band advertised and heard friends speak OF
It as a fine band, they did not realize what
a prize they had giving concerts every
afternoon and evening at Manawa. The
Council Bluffs people seem to appreciate
this fact better than Omahans, but with
fine seasonable weather Omaha will un-
doubtedly turn out its full quota. Forty
musicians, every man a recognized star, is
something any locality might be proud Of.
This band is composed Of musicians from
all parts Of the world, selected by Mr..
Covalt entirely upon their merits. The
obo player arrived yesterday from the east
and has taken his place with the band.
They are probably only sight OF ten obo
players in the United States today. It is

In addition, one that is recognized as a
