In the morning he might take part in a fencing match with single sticks and even blindfolded beat the most expert fencers.

No MollycoddIea There.

Molly coddles do not insult actresses on the stage or throw eggs at actors. one of whom happens to be graduate of their college "Muckers' might be expected to do these things; but muckers are vantages of a college education.

4 SUCCESSFUL NEWSPAPER MAI


 Among the few men who have made good" in the newspaper world few have made greater success from a small beginning than Joseph Pulitzer owner of The New York World and The St. Louis Post Dispatch. A Hun- garian by birth, he came over here in 1864 and. although but a boy, serv- ed in the Union army until the close of the war. Then he became a re- porter on a German newspaper in St Louis. later becoming editor and part proprietor. Later he bought The St Louis Dispatch and consolidated 1t as The Post Dispatch, which he still owns In 1883 he purchased The New York World. and both it and The Post-Dis- patch are among the most prominent and influential newspapers in the country.
 MT. Pulitzer, who is now in Europe dinner given to the attaches of the two papers. at which sixty people were en- tertained, and which were presided over by two of his sons. To the execu- tive stan of The World he sent the following:
 Express to the editors, managers and entire stan my warm appreciation of their excellent and successful work for an institution which should al- ways fight for progress and reform never tolerate injustice or corruption always fight demagogues of all par ties; never belong to any party; al- ways expose privileged classes and pub- lie plunder; never lack sympathy with the poor; always remain devoted to the public welfare: never be satisfied with merely printing news: always be drasticaly independent: never be afraid to attack wrong, whether by predatory plutocracy or by predatory poverty.
 These sentiments embody the vital principles of a great newspaper. While some of them will not be endorsed by party organs in the main they comprise the vital clements required to build up American journalism and make 1t the great power for good that it should be in q free government. Mir. Pulitzer Is to be congratulated.
