HIS SYMPATHETIC REVIEW.
How the New Reporter Criticized ~
Princeton story.

lFrom Salt Lake Tribune
Many men have written their own
obituaries, but only few have ever
reviewed their own booys. Jesse
Lynch Williams. author of The Girl
and the Game and Other College
Stories, was a very young reporter
on a New York daily when his first
book. Princeton Stories, which
has since run through a dozen ed
itions. made It's appearance, and
Vance Thompson was the literary
critic of the same staff One day the
latter asked the new reporter If he
thought he could write reviews. All
new reporters looked alike to him.
He did not know this ones name.
Il can try, was the answer
We'll try your hand at this one,
said the critic kindly and handed the
reporter copy of his own book
I'm "a Princeton man, Mr.. Thomp-
son added, and might be prejudic-
ed.
I'll do my best. sir. replied the
new reporter. and he did. When the
review was printed a few days later.
princeton Stories" was hailed as a
work of genius in a long review,
written in a sufficiently patronizing
note TO allay suspicion. We hope
to see other and better work by the
same pen, it concluded
That was d very sympathetic ap-
probation said the critic to the re-
porter Are You not Princeton
man yourself?"
Yes. sir.
"Ah. indeed. What is your
nance"

THE FOREST RESERVE.

There seems TO he something radi-

Forest Rangers. Mine owners, and

wholesale removal of our forests

injury to the country at large and
particularly TO those states wherein
the reserves are located. Nor should
the great forests be appropriated by
any individual or set of individuals
simply because they establish great
dustries-lumberin match max
ing and other things The experience
of the past abundantly proves that
the policy of the great lumber COM

We have seen miles of land in the
