born right. in him was the right kind of blood breeding and stick-to-itness which comes only from the right class of men and women.
 This Is little volume, but it is really a delightful little book, not simply because 1t touches one of this reviewers personal hobbies, insofar as the man not doing what he says he is going to do or any thing of the kind; that helps, of course, in forming the opinion made, but if a person in a book insists he or she will do cer- tain thing and doesn't do it, there must be satisfactory explanations or the uniues are destroyed.

 This department told in issue of Decem- Der 13 of the offer of $50 for the best 200 word answer to this question quoted above insofar as 1t touched the ending given the novelized drama "Strongheart, ,' the latter written by MT. Frederick R. Burton.
 G. w. Dillingham; company, publishers of the story, offered the $50. The New York Times says that a committee com posed of Edwin Markham and others, who were selected by Dillingham; company, to  completed its labors and made the award to Florence Finch Kelly of New York. The successful competitor took the posi- tion that marriage between the hero and heroine, Strongheart and Dorothy, was in- evitable not only a result of charac- ters, temperaments and strong mutual att traction, but also to preserve the unity of the story. The intermarriage of the races was defended on the score of prece- dents, and as making for a realization of universal brotherhood It is stated in the Times that the committee reported that every section of the country was repre- sented in this contest. That the majority of the competitors approved marriage as the denouement of the story. That sur prise was felt by the committee that fully half of the criticisms from southern states favored this, and that many New Eng land competitors condemned the author on the sole ground that mscegenation is indefensible.
 The committee needn't worry about that half of the Southern critics approving the marriage between the red man and the white girl Those critics figured it out in their minds no doubt that criticism approving MT Burtons denouement would be the one to win the prize. as 1t was ''The Career of a Journalist" by William
 
 Salisbury (B. w. Dodge & Co)
 MT. Salisbury was for nine years at work on different metropolitan journals in five American cities, on papers of every shade of political opinion and a stay afterwards in four foreign capitals.
 In his book which has been discussed from one end of this country to another, ''The Career of Journalist" MT. Sails bury has simply told his experiences, for those nine years.
 MT. Salisbury says that the book is a protest against the hopelessness of in- dividuality In most newspaper work. That the business office domination of the metropolitan Journals, in Chicago and New York, he realizes is more often the result of evolution than of chosen policy.
 As MT. Salisbury is no longer connect ed with the press, he feels that he can tell just what happened to and through him while connected with journalism.
 MT. Salisbury went to work in Kansas City at the age of 19 years from 1890 to 1895 on different papers of that town. He was on the Kansas City Times first when he rose from collecting suburban notes to special writer. He had many exper- fences in Kansas City. all of which he faithfully describes; how he was not per mitted to write about this and that, by the owners of this and the other paper Oi dSNVuht ol ihJtiih tiiio ol tu1e liicllu or friendly interest MT Salisbury gives names, and quotes dates in most cases, in some only using psuedonyms for city editors and so on.
 From Kansas City MT Salisbury went to Chicago where he was employed on the Chicago Chronicle, owned at that time and up to the time of the death of that paper, by MT. John R. Walsh. 'He had begun his business career as a peanut vendor Now he conducted or helped to conduct two banks, a railroad, a dredg- ing company. stone quarries, street rail- way and gas corporations, a baseball club and many other unjournalistic things. saw list of Is corporations on the desk of the city editor.
