Portland Oregonian: Mark Twain

1900 words day. That is about the
average days work Of the newspaper
writer on large daily paper, day in
and day out. seven days week. In
the course Of year this amounts to
657, 600 words. The ordinary novel
contains about 100000 words. The
newspaper man writes enough to make
a novel of the best selling type every
two months, with plenty left over at
the end of the year to make another
book of respectable size. Let US sup
pose that he works at the business forty
years; he has written 26, $50, 900
words or 240 books. Not even Mrs. E.
D. E. N. Southworth could beat that

that journalism is an easy job.

Norway in this city. They are natur-

of our townsmen. Peter and Joe Scott.
He is stationed at Lesja and has been
in the army for forty years. The fol-

There is no doubt that such message

citizens who were born in Norway or

don t blame them. To ultimate and

The shirt-wast girl is with us once

True enough. she has been with us all

ever since she first came on-how many
seasons ago was il?
Hut since the chill days of autumn as

her cherished and chic shirt waist with
warm wraps. aud so it has been more or
less hidden from sight.
But with the 'irst days of spring the
shirt-waist suit aud the shlrt-waist girl
will assert themselves; and Dame Fash
ion has prepared some delightful novelties
for these initial appearances.
Just when and where the shlrt-waist
suit first asserted itself is a question and
a problem. Ask any girl who follows the
fashions at all, and she will tell you that
It was she, she herself, and none other,

There Is just one point to be observed
in the belts, and that is that they are Il"

The girl who is all frlls and fluffs, who

with joy the chiffon taffetas and louis

But no matter just who invented it,

it is in the highest vogue just now at the
Southern resorts, and that 1t will carry
its vogue up North with it, Is the fact
that appeals most to the girl who Is plan

And the way that every type of girl is
taking to the shirt waist and the shirt

these days when everybody is striving for
