There is no good reason why a good re-
porter may not make first-rate novelist.
On the contrary, there is every reason why
he should Most of our best-known novel
lists have, in fact, first served the appren-
ticeship of newspaper training. Thackeray
began that way; so did Dickens; and so
have most of the novelists who stand at
the top. William Black before he wrote
"A Daughter of Heth" was proud OF the
fact that he could turn out his column of
copy" for the London paper for which he
was writing in an average time of less
than an hour. We have met fiedgling nov
elists who have beaten this record by many
minutes. In fact that is the one stumbling
block. The facility that produces a column
of readable copy in rush for an extra
afternoon edition is more than apt TO turn
out very unreliable copy in the pages of a
novel. We recall an instance of one of the
best known among our younger novelists
to the effect that while employed as a re-
porter he wrote magazine stuff" as soon
as he became a novelist he wrote in the
style Of the newspaper reporter. 1t is I'M
necesss ry, of course, TO point cut that a
wide difference does. and should, exist be-
tween the two ways of writing. The diff
Guilty is that il is too rarely recognized by
the one il most concerns-the author. We
could select any one of many recent novels
to illustrate what is here meant.

RULES OF NO GRAMMAR.
Lack of Early Training and Environ
ments Cause Language Lapses.
Kansas City Star.

Kansas City Star.
In these days when the newspaper and
the cheap magazine have placed reading
matter within the reach of every one ii is
at first blush a cause of surprise that so
many people talk ungrammatically. While
the ordinary newspaper article is not to be
classed literature, yet the construction
of its sentences and the arrangement of its
words dramatically correct. And not
only are these articles within the reach OF
the multitude, but they are read by the
vast majority. Doubtless there is an i'm
provement in the forms of speech now used
over those of an earlier generation, yet the
difference is not as great as the force of the
example would warrant. In the common
places of life, as well as in such a mo-
mentous event that to which he applied
it. Edmund Burke's statement that Eek
ample is the school of mankind and they
will learn il at no other has force. Just
why the little boy who said that dog, L
and daddy are goin' huntin' is the type
of as large a class to-day as when his
grandfather was a boy seems strange. The
force of early illiterate environment IL
would seem should yield TO more learned
surroundings
Perhaps one reason fer the longevity of
ungrammatical usage is that there are as
hard and fast rules for speech that is incor-
rect for that which comes from the lips
of the purist. They are rules to be followed
in spite of the fact that they have never
been set down in print and have never been
formulated even in tradition. If one takes
the pains TO note the speech of an INGRAM
NAUTICAL person it will be observed that he
always misuses the same words or the
same syntaX in precisely the same manner
every time he has occasion to use them.
There is as little variance in his forms of
speech as in those of the most punctilious
verbalist. His intuitive rules guide him as
accurately to incorrectness as the rules of
grammar guide the educated person to ele-
gance.
The misuse of the personal pronoun, be-
cause it is the most common. may serve
an illustration of a set of rules which holds
through all the range of illiteracy. Never
by accident does the person who glibly
substitutes him and me" for "he and T.
fail in the substitution. And such a person
is TO be put in a class apart, too, from that
other who uses me and him." The two
never encroach upon each others domain.
Each is too confident of his rules to ques-
ton them even unconsciously.
AT times a half-caste, one who has wet
his lips at the Pierian spring, will lapse into
him and L." Such one is 10 be pitied. He
has lost the sturdy independence that the
rules of no grammar give He has thrown
away his compass the plain of Hitter
acy. The tree of knowledge he has planted
has grown 10 be only a shrub, and he dare
not wander from its limited shade. He is
