lady admirers, though their decision
was invariably reversed when Elmer
would appeal to the editorial court.
But editors are cold blooded, hard
hearted, incompetents, while girls
When sitting in judgment on the lit
ersry productions Of a handsome
man ass Droad-minded, liberal, en-
H. 'siassie and, by instinct, critics of
nnqaestionable authority.
When Elmer's eye rolled in a fine
frenzy such phrases as "Cupid's
Dart matched to tender heart"
would shower from his pen like dew
drops from a stricken rose.
He delighted to read his produc-
tions to a girl enthusiast. His vocal
chords were like guitar strings, and
when a sensitive ear would incline to
his voice, a sigh would ever and anon
tremble from a throbbing bosom and
a square of soft lace go up to absorb
a tear.
With an enthusiastic hand he
would mail his productions to lead
ing magazines, and with nervous
hands and sickening disgust he would
soon TAKE them from the post Office
again.
But like most Kentuckians, he was
game, and one editor who had tasted
the mucilage on a hundred of Elmer's
return envelopes, wrote to him in
this way:
Il admire your pluck and persist
ency, i'll directed though they be.
Such energy and grit are worthy of
a better cause. If nothing will do you
but write, let your Pegasus catch the
epizootic as quick as possible. Send
me some prose sketches like the
Dance at Daddy Darnelrs,' My Own
Live Dog or Last Fight of the
Feud,' and I'll be glad to look them
over, but please, oh, please, no more

Then Elmer rose early in the morn
ing and gathered together a great
multitude of his poems and cast them
forth into d%evouring flame.
He had just read in a literary jour
nal that, in the sale of popular books
during the past year, David Scare'em
had led all the rest.
He, too, would write a book, crowd

is very poor policy for the supporters
of the military to persistently obtrude

The argument that some unsightly

Country Waking to Need Of Popular
Education.
Whatever may be the outcome Of
the war now carried on between Rus
sia and Japan, there is reason to be
lieYe it will be to the benefit cf Rus
sia in certain ways. Already there is
evidence Of a broader and milder
policy in government affairs ans d ten
dency to regard the interests OF the
more dependent classes.
A movement that can be counted
otherwise than for good is that which
is started by the Russ for the national
education of the masses. The jour
nal is not merely advocating the plan
in words.
It has opened a popular subscription
for the cause and is pushing il in
most determined way. Other large
newspapers are seconding the enter
prise and the probability is that the
proposed schools will be opened in the
near future.

to meet conditions in the civil war and
in the war with Spain, chiefly because
the rank and file Of the armies we're
naturally quick-witted and keen and
because their minds had been dis
ciplined in the schoolroom.
Ability is not wanting among the
peasants. The number OF
writer's who have come from the class
that were originally serfs is not small.
Among them are Gorky and Tchekhov.
II the great artists Of Russia have
come from the middle rather than the
lower classes proof is not wanting that
with enlarged opportunity genius will
be speedily developed among the des-
Of the serfs.
Tolstoi long ago realized that Rus
slams do not count as individuals
but as a mass. In the days when he
did not argue against war as he
has done OF late he urged the recogni
ton and the education Of the indi-
yidusl.
Nothing can develop the individual
more than popular education. If Rus
