dred has paused to notice tEat a news
paper article is written on plan just
the reverse of that OF Il sermon or ora
ton. Comparatively few ministers
have analyzcd the subject sufficiently
to notice this fact, and their ignor-
ance of it will often account for the
reluctance of newspapers to accept
matter contributed by them 1t is
worth the while of every man and
woman to know the general plan on
which newspaper articles are written,
for almost everybody desires at times
TO announce something through the
press. The mere knowledge of the
theory will not make n successful
writer in this or any other depart
ment, but it is the first step.
The skillful preacher or orator us
"ally reserves his most important
points until toward the end of his dis
course, closing with climax The
sktllful newspaper reporter puts his
climax into his first sentence and ends
with the most non essential detail
While the novelist secures his drama
tic effect by Keeping the secret of his
story as long as possible, the reporter
attains success by revealing his secret
as quickly as words will let him. Both

defined as that on which sonnet is

waste time on the rest. He can get
fair knowledge of the whole worlds
news for the day by merely reading
the headlines and opening paragraphs
OF the paper, while perhaps but one
article is interesting enough to read
every line.
There is also another important
cause which has contributed to this
method of presenting the news with
the cream always on top. AS startling
events do not occur in this world with
any regularity. though the paper must
always be issued at the same hour, it
naturally follows that there is an
