Authors

An author is person whose chief oc-
cupation in life is the DETACHMENT of
good white paper The appellation Is
wide-reaching, and may apply to the
writer of soap advertisement or to
the creator of best-seller.
OF late years authors have become so
numerous that they seem to have Liter
ally fallen out of the clouds upon
long-suffering people, like raindrops
upon an already water soaked earth.
In Indiana these drops fall with such
persistence that the state is kept in
condition of literary overflow.
Among certain authors of the present
time there is great rivalry as to who
can cover the maximum of paper with
the minimum of thought.
Authors are divided into two classes:
A small class who can write and who
let their work speak for them, and a
very large class who can't write and
are continually picking to pieces the
literary elect-Harvey Peake, in Tha
Circle.

Special to The Herald.
SANTA MONICA, Nov. 10.--As a result
of the activity of the teredo practically
all of the piling at the end of the Horse
shoe pier snapped before the high seas
last night, making the condition of the
structure so unsafe as to demand its
complete demolition. The pier was
built about two years ago at a cost of
approximately $4,000.
1t was the intention Of the builders that
the structure should be utilized in part
for amusement and commercial purposes
and that out of it's revenues the city
band should be maintained. Holders of
stock in the enterprise have recently
stated that the pier has proven losing
proposition. Members of the Ocean Park
Improvement company are said to be con-
sidering replacing the pier with a struc-
ture having cement incased piling.

ADVERTISING HELPS
LOCAL MERCHANT HAS FINALLY
BEEN CONVINCED THAT AID
vERTIslNG is THE
REAL THING

#stA couple of weeks ago our adVer-
tising solicitor called on we'll
known business man with an adver-
Using proposition. The gentleman
in question listened patiently to what
was presented him, but said that he
did not believe that such an ad !.
would pay him the cost Of inserting
it. His principal objection was that
he did not believe that people would
read the adj, at least the class of
people who he was DESTROYS of reach
ing, but, after considerable insis-
tence, he was persuaded to take the
space. Our solicitor wrote the adj
vertisement for him and had it put
into type after his own ideas. It is
interesting to note the result On
Tuesday of last week, the gentleman
came into out Office for the purpose
alone of telling us about his ad. His
story in short was this. That since
the appearance, of the ad. he has been
able to note a decided increase IN
his business from the very sources
he desired to reach and It can be
traced directly to that little. piece Of
carefully worded, neatly set piece Of
advertising. Now if it helps him,
why will it not do equally well for
you. The Tribune has a regularly
employed advertising man, one who
knows his business, makes study
of it, and who will be glad at any
time to call on you and give you
any assistance in his power to help
you. That is what we keep him for
end if you will call up the Tribune
Office at any time and ask for the ad.
l,.an he will be very glad to assist

EDITOR BURGLED
EDITOR AT MEDoRA HAD HIS
HOUSEHOLD LOOTED BY
HOBO BURGLAR

Medora Herald: A hobo called at
our ranch house during our absence
Wednesday and effecting an entrance
through a window helped himself to
nearly a loaf of our good wife's ex-
cellent bread, a 80 caliber Smith &
Wesson revolver and we presume a
pair of old trousers and a pair of
clean socks. We say presume as he
left a pair of old overalls and pair
of much worn socks not far from the
house. He disdained such frivoli-
ties as night shirts, pajamas, neck
ties, shandkerchiefs, our best glad
rags and other serviceable garments,
for a nearly worn out pair of trous-
ers. If we must be burgled give us
a hobo burglar every time. We shall
be glad, however, If our sheriff and
| his deputies and the peace officers Of
| neighboring counties and states, If
| they should chance to meet a hobo
who looks as if he, recently gotten
outside Of a loaf of bread and who
wears a bullying pistol pocket, will
take this as their warrant TO appre-
bend him. This is all the descrip-
ton we can give, though if the
| peace officers should wish to put
blood hounds on his trail we are sure
the trailers can pick up the scent al
most anywhere in the vicinity of the
aforesaid socks. This is the second
time in the history of these United
States that an editor has been burg
larized and North Dakota has the
proud distinction of claiming both
instances. The other being one of
the aforehanded editors of the east
ern part of the state, who got ahead
$500 and laid it away in his safe
'gainst rainy day. "A bold, bad
burglar got the coin. In our case
4 the burglar didn't get away with any
money. at least if he did, he has a
better nose for the coin of the realm
than yours truly.
