Getting Into the Papers.

Like most actors have always enter
tanned the idea that possess journalistic
ability said Morton Selten of the kelcey-
Shannon Company the other day.
a few years ago decided to turn my
talents in that direction to some practical
account. I picked out one of my choicest
effusions and called upon the editor of a
big daily, whom Iknew personally. After
little preliminary sparring asked him
bluntly how I Icould get an article in his
paper.
1T all depends upon the article you
want to get in our paper, replied the
editor. 1.-THE article is small in bulk, like
a hairbrush or pumpkin pie, spread the
paper out on the floor, place the article
in the centre, wrap, it carefully and tie
with string. This will keep the article
FROM slipping out of the paper. If, on the
other hand, the article is portable Eng
lish bathtub or a hatrack, I would advise
you not to try it at all
"Since that experience lhave remained
away from editorial sanctums. ] write an
occasional letter upon matters of public
interest," but am always careful to sign
myself Subscriber and never use the nom

The Exposition During the Month OF
Nav

The Southern Railroad, the Atlantic
Coast Line, and the Plant System have
arranged to continue the sale of the cheap
Tuesday tickets to the Exposition, as sold
during the month of May. This will en-
able all who have not yet visited the Ex-
position to do so during its closing month
and those who have visited it to again
take advantage of the low rate offered, as
many will undoubtedly do.
There has been great deal said through
the columns of the papers in regard to the
Exposition and its many attractive fea-
lures. There is one, however, that has
almost entirely ignored or overlooked BY
all correspondents, and probably from the
fact that its location is such as not 20 at
tract general attention. Reference is made
to the grass garden of the o. S. agricul-
tural department, which consists of four
acres of ground, and is located just east
of the encampment of the marine corps.
Every farmer who visits the Exposition
should visit this garden. Here are to be
found growing over fifty different forage
crops referred to have been gathered from
Africa, Egypt, China, Ireland, Scotland,
England, Australia and many other coun-
tries. The representative of the agricul
tural department in charge of the garden
is practical farmer and can give the visi-
tor full information regarding each and
every species of the crop, and it can be
said to every farmer if he can spare time
to come down, even if ne spends only one
day at the Exposition, let him carefully
study these forage crops, get a list of such
as he wants to use, and he will be ten times
repaid for the expense of the trip and for
the time he may think he is losing from
his farm.
