The Infinite Little,

A little dreaming. and we are
Farther than the farthest star;
A little pleasure, and we gain
The fortitude to bear our pain;
A little striving. and is ours
The strength OF all our latent powers;
little purpose and a will.
And we our highest hopes fulfill:
little doubt. intrepid ghost.
And we lose all we cherish most;
little faith. the steadfast smile.
And we the future reconcile:
little earnest. trustful prayer
For 'wildered creatures everywhere,
And that ali bad Is for the BEST
The worst. perchance. be worthiest

OF this spirited story leave little wanting

Hartford Is a fellow With literary ambi-
tions who goes into newspaper work as
the handest thing. He doesn't find IL
easy TO get in and he finds the work hard
when he does get In. He develops fine
respect for the profession when he discov-
ers the dismal truth that the profession
Is not yearning for his services and. In
deed is disposed TO treat him with small
respect And when he finally gets on to
the staff. his respect increases by force
OF circumstances. AS am old editor friend
of ours once observed: Newspaper work
does not always afford the pecuniary re-
wards possible In, some other trades, but
II has its fascnations.'
Newspaper life certainly had Its fasci-
nations for Hartford and Il will for the
reader OF Many Waters" The work OF
the reporter threads its way through the
romance of the novel, through the love
stories and the tragedies. through the pa
thos and the humor, as Is the daily expe-
rience in newspaper life Hartford has
