MODERN MAGAZINES.
The Work That Must Be Done by a
Successful Editor.

The poor editor who should be so
fatuous as to depend for the contents
of his magazine on the driftwood that
came in to him would soon be re-
placed or his magazine would needs go
out of business. Not only has the day
gone by when editors sat in easy
chairs and majestically sifted wheat
from chafr in the piles of stuff sent
prayerfully to them, but gone, too. is
the day when an editor could sit in
his Office and plan good magazine
out of his inner consciousness. a good
magazine today represents the skillful
collaboration of several bright. keen
men. or men and women. and its make
up is a nice medium between what the
editors have reason to think their sub
scribers want and what they have re:,-
son to think their contributors can do
best.
1t is an important part of good edit
ing nowadays to keep in as close touch
as possible with the greatest possible
number and variety of persons who
write. 1t is part of an editors bust
ness to keep we'll Informed on all the
new books and all his contemporaries
among the periodicals-to know Oct
ter, perhaps. than the man himself
knows) what kind or kinds of Work any
given man can best do and TO have
the knowledge filed away in his mem
ory for ready reference. 1t is part of
his business, too, to see and talk with,
whenever he can. not only the persons
who are trying to write for him. but
all persons whose situation in life is
at all interesting in way which ought
some day to make them valuable to
him.-Clara E. Laughlin in Reader.

pieces are already cut.
Miss Lucy Boesl is here from Osna-
brock visiting her parents for few

Quite number of Mt. Carmel people
took in first communion services at

A very enjoyable time was spent Fri
day evening of last week at the beauti-
full home of Nicholas Kartes, the oc-
casion being in honor of his newly
equipped residence. Nearly fifty couple
participated in the festivities which
consisted of dancing, singing and re-
freshments. Mr.. Karte's new home is
one of the most neat and up-to-date
residences in this neighborhood.
An amusing incident occurred in our
neighborhood the other day, the victim
being one of our falrer sex she was on
the eve Of departing for short visit to
Canada when the discovery was made
that she had forgotten to change cloth
ing. The following extract is taken
from the writer's small portion of
cerebrum and is as follows:
a pretty lot of our girls,
With pretty looks, and dainty curls.
Became at once so very rash,
And gently raised the window sash.
They lifted one foot, then another,
And boldly entered, without a shudder
They upset everything within.
Stove, table, pail and tin.
On the wall they gently wrote,
And from their throats, they gently
spoke.
Some nasty phrases, l do declare.
Enough to make Christian swear.
Then quietly from the place they
strode,
And gently moved toward the road.
Over the hill they smoothly glide,
Who they were, we must decide.
Oh pretty girls: we do implore,
You call again, one, two, three, four.
But leave behind your store of gall,
And let us know before you cali.

The raj lroad, which the farmers of
this section of the county have been
waiting for SO long seems to be actually
in sight at last as there is a camp of
graders on the farm of John Fast and
grading started yesterday morning, but
as to how far they are going nothing
definite is to be found out.
There are not many hay stacks
noticeable out around here as the
sloughs are SO wet it is impossible to
get into them to put up hay. Quite a
number Of farmers around here have
not started haying yet as they have
been waiting for the sloughs to dry up
and last weeks rains raised them up as
bad as they were in the spring.

herds of these creatures from fifty TO
eighty feet in length, with limbs and
salt analogous to those Of gigant ic
elephants, but with bodies extending
through the long, flexible and taper

and reaching back into the equally
long and still more tapcring tails.
The four or five varieties which cX-
listed together were each fitted to
some special mode of life; some living
more exclusively on land, others for
longer periods in the water.
The competition for existence was
not only with the great carnivOrous
dinosaurs, but with other kinds of
hcrbiyorOus dinosaurs Uhc l9uan0-
