sential to Journalism as it is to the dra-
matte art, for the object of journalism
is to make events go as far as possible
Thus it is that all journalists are, IN
the very nature of their calling, alarm
lists, and this is their way of giving in
terest to what they write. Herein they
are like little dogs. If anything stirs
they Immediately set up shrill bark.

Paul Laurence Dunbar while he was
dying of consumption, contributed to
Lippincott's this sermon of resigna-
