FICTION,

One advantage of reading a seria.
story in a daily newspaper is that ar
installment of a convenient length is
received every day that does not con-
sumo an undue amount of the readers
time. An installment of a high-grade
serial story appears in every issue OF
the Chicago Record Herald, a popu-
lar feature of that enterprising Chic
ago daily. Among the successful
stories which have recently been en-
joyed by the Record Herald readers
are sGraustark," by George B. Nc
Cutcheon; when Knighthood Was
in Flower by Charles Major, and
"Alice of Old Vincennes," by Maurice
Thompson, Every issue contains also
a short Illustrated "human interest"
story on the editorial page. Readers
of the Chicago Record-Herald can de-
pend upon a ~neyer-failing source of
pleasant entertainment in the note
worthy fiction that is always to be
found in its columns.

GETTING IN THE SWIM.

To get sin the SWIM is a most
natural and human aspiration.
Most of us prefer being like other
people, and doing like other peo-
pie, to posing as original and
unique specimens of the race, OF
acknowledge ourselves as no
bodies. We may be very well
aware that getting in the swim
may lead to ruin, but the knowl-
edge doesn't render the puddle
less attractive.
To those looking on, the SWIM
mers seem to be the most blessed
and favored of mortals. They
have money, position, friends
and honors galore, but just like
ordinary mortals they are never
satisfied. The trouble is, be it
the. social, financial or political
pool, every one. in it, wants to
eclipse somebody else, and SO
his struggles are never ending.
This ceasless contest to hold van
tage gained, becomes burden
some, and wears out body and
soul. No matter how brave has
been his fight, soon or late, the
swimmer must sink, others take
his place and he is forgotten.
Those who fail to get in the
swim may console themselves by
remembering that they have plen-
ty of good company, who gene
rally come out better in the end.
Noah is a shining example of one
who didn't get in the swim, or
permit his family to get in either,
and no one can deny but that
this old time preacher came out
a long ways ahead of even the
most expert swimmer in the great
overflow.

THE PRACTICAL 4ND
TIE IDEAL.

The present is essentially an
age of realism, OF action. The
day dreams 81 centuries have
crystalized, and we are reaping
the benefit 81 theories of the past.
While II is all right and well to
enjoy the fruits of our ancestors
dreams, it should also be borne
in mind that there is danger of
the practical crowding out the
ideal, without which life would
be one long chapter of prose.
The dreamer of dreams, the
ideaiist is as necessary to pro-
gress as the practical business
man and should be as heartily
encouraged. Happy is he who
combines both ideal and practi-
cal ability, but when separated
neither should be despised. The
practical and ideal r as the
string unto the bow-useless each
without the other.
