REAL LITERARY LABOR.
Example Of Charles Dudley Warmers
Infinite PainstakinQ.

Example Of Charles Dudley Warmers
Infinite Painstakins.
The extraordinary pains and patience
with which Charles Dudley Warner
did his literary work are. shown in an
account given by writer i'll the New
Amstel magazine of the strenuous way
in which Mr.. Warner produced an
obituary notice some years ago.
Professor Edward L. Youmans was
a close personal friend of Mr.. Warner,
and on that account when Mrs. You
mans died the editor of a daily paper
asked Mr.. Warner to write a sort of
personal appreciation of her. This he
consented to do.
half past II, when he went to lunch
Returning at 2 o'clock, he worked
without interruption until 4 o'clock,
when he turned over to the editor
what he had written.
Yet the work was not complete. Mr..
Warner read the first proof and in sue
cesSion three revised sheets.
Eacn time he maze cnanSe aItor
change in phraseology, seeking out the
one right word, while even in the
nicely of paragraphing he seemed to
make clearer what he desired to ex-
press. Nor did the close revision end
with the marking of the last proof.
After the paper had gone to press
and the first sheets had been brought
up to the composing room for an o. K.
Mr. Warner looked wistfully at the
editor and observed:
"Would you object to lifting the
form? l see sentence in the last
paragraph that might be somewhat
changed. She was too good. you know,
to have slovenly tribute paid to her"
Even the printers refused to get an
CRY over the delay, and forthwith the
form was sent up and changes went on
for an hour. At last, though publica-
ton was delayed fully two hours, the
editor, but not Mr. Warner, had the
supreme satisfaction of knowing that
the work was as nearly perfect as hui
| man art could make it, and the edition
was sent out

Smoothed the Sea.

A gentleman aboard a steamer run
ming between Southport and Blackpool
approached one Of the sailors during
the passage and remarked to him:
1--WE have a very smooth sea this
morning. 1t is like a sheet OF glass.
You don't always have it like thisT'
mo, SIR" was the answer, "but, you
see. they knowed as how you were
coming today, so the authorities at
Southport telephoned to the corpora
ton at Blackpool, and they at once
ordered out the steam roller and rolled
the sea down for the occasion. That
is why it is so smooth" London Tit
