CreeIey's Strict Rules.

AS an editor Horace Greeley had
become weary of the constant repeti
ton of the word the in opening sen
tences. One issue of his paper in par.
ticular eXasperated him. Almost ev.
cry item had its opening paragraph
begin with TIE" This lack of judg

tice he requested to be posted in the
editorial room. and caused copies OF
it to be sent to correspondents The
order read:
Under no circumstances must the
word the be used in the opening or
subsequent paragraph of news ar.

If YOU cannot write paragraph with

One day. shortly after the issuance
of his new rule. Greeley entered thc
editorial room in fury.
''How is it that we have nothing
in today's paper regarding Hollands
attitude toward the policy of the
north?" he asked of his editor, wlc
had charge OF the foreign news.
This editor was aware that he had
omitted an important news item
which at the time he considered as
unimportant But he was resource
full.
Your rules and orders are posi-,
tive, Mr. Greeley. are they not ?" asked
the editor.
"Certainly." shouted the famous
scribbler
"Then toll me how I could have
used The Hague for the date line
in the Holland dispatch without vie
lating your positive order"
Mr.. Greenlv was beaten. but he NUT
tered: .'If vou fellows could use iudg-
ment. there would be no need for
rules. ."-Detroit Free Press.

madame IS said to have defrauded the

works, many of which are said to have
been executed by the brushes of mas

Competent judges considered the
gem of the collection to be a we'll

The painting was at least well exc
cuted copy and the tones were ex-
quisite. 1t brought only $19750.
1t is said Diss de Bar got the pic
lures from collector, covered them
with paste of chalk and water and,
deftly placing in each hand a wet
sponge, declared while giving exhibi-

was in turn Gerome, Van Dyke or

apparently blank canvas was made to
glow with color AT last accouI ! she
was languishing in an English Jail
