Howells told me that he had hard time getting
over that difficulty, and only the other day
another great writer who started as a news
paper man, was complaining that he could not
carry novel he planned beyond one chapter
He had been running hundred-yard dashes so
long he couldn't last a mile.
My second warning IS to look out for a place
to fall in If you fail in literary way-and
this is important, because so great proper
ton of the applicants for newspaper work
think they are literary geniuses. They can
do some fine writing, which is unmarketable
in any newspaper office, they have been
praised at college. Their style must be formed
on their professors or on some more famous
model but the only style that is worth any
thing is inspired by the experiences and the
material of the writer after he is graduated
into real life.
Of course, do not mean by all this that the
study OF particular subjects for knowledge of
the facts is useless only that old-fashioned
general culture IS the best, and that special
ization begun too early is bad. All newspaper
men need history, politics, and literature
Geographyis a much neglected essential to cor
respondents, editorial writers, telegraph editors,
and managers. The critics requirements are
those of the essayist, specialized according to
music and the drama with technical training
are rare and well paid on papers that can
afford them at all Every large newspaper
has some men who have studied law and med
lClllci ana q man WIN q SCl6nllIC training
who can write English is invaluable to a news
paper But to 60 on along this line is simply
to illustrate the general truth that all knowl-
edge is useful to make a living on a news
paper, if man has it handy enough to write
simply of it; while intelligence, the result of
thought, and style, and gift of character are
indispensable to great success on the editorial
side At the business end of the paper the
traits that pay are the same as in any other
business.
But even if a man writes well and gets the
news correctly and quickly, he may not rise
very high. There are forty reporters to one
correspondent and two hundred correspond
ents to one novelist. The alternative for the
disappointed literary genius is to find out what
he can do best financial news, railroads. poll
tics, fires, shipping. sports-no matter what
it is so that he can master all its details-then
if he takes care of himself land the work is
terribly wearing) he can have place to die.
But, of all things, DOM be general newspaper
man. 1t is bound to lead in the end to failure,
and to fail in general work" is one of the
worst fates in life.

tence he may be highly paid and rank high in
the business Good clear orderly statement of
the facts IS sufficient in the thorough reporter,
and some papers don't want more. But none
of them objects to art if it comes in, they can
hide it away in an obscure place if it is the
policy OF the paper to inform and not charm.
At any rate, the young man who wishes to
write novels or plays or essays can support
himself in this, trade which makes 1t his
business to 90 wherever ANYTHING happens. He
sees the banker when the failure is rumored,
hears him lie and calls again when the lie is
given the lie, and the man is down. He
watches him settle up, and follows him as he
RECEIVERS, and interviews him when, once more
on his feet, he IS concentrating a big deal.
" hen human nature does what Othello did,
Hamlet or Julius Caesar or Macbeth, the
reporter has murder story; and II he is
mistaken yellow journalist he describes the
blood; if he is a detective in the wrong calling
he describes the clues; but if he is a fine mind
he feels tragedy and surely there IS story
made to his hand And the less obvious
stories, the dry rot of a railroad deal, where
all seems statistics and names-these also are
riches. Men have fought and lost and won,
and they are men.
Why not master the details SO as to have
the right to know these men and their motives,
too2 The Wall Street novel has not been writ
ten. The business mans story is not told.
The reporters who think they are literary
avoid these subjects because they think that
There is romance in rails as there is in spars
there is comedy in Broadway well in the
drawing-room; there is courage in Wall Street
as in war. But the technical, dry, clerky fell
lows handle the news down town so that we
get few stories there.
The reporter who writes wildly at police
headquarters and learns to get there in
the slums and at a fire, may go to Cuba or the
Philippines or South Africa. Sir Henry Stan
ley was police reporter. The local political
reporter is advanced to Albany, then to Wash
ington, then to London. A descriptive writer
of power can go all over the world, and if he
wishes may give up the newspaper for the
magazine and the book publisher. The polit
ical reporter who analyze motives infer
purposes, and judge and win men, has par
allel career. Both are journalists, both lead
farther and farther from the home Office, and
the end may be either great influence lit
erary triumph in the form of fiction or drama.
Two warnings must be given, however:
Look out for the newspaper habit of diving
into a subject taking all that you can seize in
one plunge and then writing only as much as
occurs to you in one sitting" Cigarette writ

Two or three years earlier an enterprising
Frenchman of the name of Rousseau had deter
mined to provide Slavna with first-rate modern
hotel and cafe. Nothing could have consorted
better with the views of King Alexis Stefano-

she thought to herself, smiling perhaps rather bit

But Sophy had come to Slavna to be ndepend-

to make her way in the world; first governess

committee was held:
'In view of the appalling calamity
