A TALK TO THE TYPIST.
ITraer Star Clipper.

Some time ago we received a type
written letter marked dictated"
which made us think of & few things
every aspirant Cor typewriter position
ought TO know but which evidently
this particular typist had not learned
First, we would say, before applying
for position. master the spelling book!
No poor speller can ever stay long in
good office. This is, to many, an
irksome study, but If you do not care
to master it Your road to success will
lie in some other occupation. Second.
pay large attention to grammar Get
the general principles of the science so
clearly in mind that you will not have
to stop and correct your sentences be-
cause of faulty construction. 1t may
not be necessary that you master all
the minute details of grammatic
science, but the more you know about
it the stronger will be your hold on
any job worth keeping. Third, remem-
Der that the general style Of letter
has much to do with the effect it will
have. especially upon persons Of liter
airy taste. If the style be easy, direct
and clear as to the meaning OF every
sentence a favorable impression is as
sured. The attainment Of such a style
may, where one has not had the advan-
tage OF training in that line, be some
what tedious but it will pay if one de-
sires to get really desirable positions.
Tt this the careful reading Of good
books or essays, and OF forms Of BUSH
ness letters given In many publications,
will be Of great assistance, provided
the reading be done with studious at
tentfon to the language used by the
writer, and the arrangement OF the
words by which he attempts to make
his meaning clear. A good style never
comes by intuition but by absorption
thru careful attention to COED models
in writing or oral addresses. This Of
course means work outside Of business
hours, but Il is we'll to remember that
the difference between 50 and week and
$15 for the same time makes consider
able Of such work paying investment.
We would add az final suggestion,
study the machine. The typist who
knows how to locate any trouble that
may arise in the working Of the ma
chine and also knows how to adjust II

TO LIVE A LITTLE LONGER
Ever the Elusive Hope Of Humanity,
From Which Il Seems II Can
Not Be Separated.

The fountain Of youth is the dream
of the young. At thirty the springtime
Of life is all but gone. Lines come

to Ponce de Leon in Porto Rico and
lured him to Florida In search Of the
magical island of Bimini and the foun-

that we do not really grow old: We

God in History.


Professor w NJ. Vests address on
God in history, or, rather, on God not
in history, might give rise to an end
less and meaningless lot of talk unless
the debaters first understood what was
meant to be conveyed by the phrase.
God in history.
God, it may be admitted, has not
appeared personally in history since
the Jehovah conducted Hebrew affairs
directly or thru appointed prophets.
But that a divine and directing power
has appeared at all times in the history
of the human race is not denied by any
but those who deny God entirely. Ger
tainly a man who denied Gods exist
ence would not be likely to admit Gods
appearance In history.
We do not understand that Professor
West puts himself in this class. What
he denies, substantially. is that God ap-
pears on the battlefield or in the for
UNI or at the death bed to suspend His
own laws Of cause and effect. This is
som ething that can be easily denied,
and its denial will have little or no in
f1uence upon those who felt that Dr.
vine Providence did intervene in their
oowa :Nairs These believers can be
found everywhere, and their affirma-
tive faith is of as good repute as the
negative Of those who happen not to
have felt such an influence in their
own lives.

Railroad Across Ocean.

That remarkable railroad which
goes out to sea" along the Florida
coast and Is carried by concrete
arches from key to key, as the islands
in that quarter are called. is likely to
find an imitator, proving anew that
American genius gives impetus to en-
terprise in other directions. A project
is under consideration to construct a
railroad connecting the island of
Ceylon with the mainland OF India.
The distance is about eighty miles.
and the route will be across several
small islands and a sunken reef, the
track to be carried by means Of con-
crete viaducts and steel bridges. The
plan, If put into effect, will provide a
great addition to the transportation
facilities Of the east and be Of vast
importance in stimulating commerce
And 1t will be another illustration q
the application of American principles
to the solution of such problems as
are involved in the undertaking.

WHY THIS DIFFERENCE,

An order mailed in Oskaloosa Mon
lay evening arrives in Chicago Tues
day morning, is filled during the day.
and arrives in Oskaloosa Wednesday
forenoon.
The same order mailed in OskalooSa
Monday evening and sent TO s.. Louis
gets there about Wednesday, is hung
on a peg and filled when the shipping
clerk gets down TO it, Ii is sometimes
shipped on Friday, but more frequent
~ on Saturday evening and arrives
in Oskaloosa some time during the
next week
This is not an isolated example, but
an everyday occurrence. And this
explains why st. Louis does not get
more trade from Oskaloosa and all
this section of Iowa. Naturally our
people are very friendly to St. Louis
and would like 10 patronize that good
old town, but life is too short in this
day and age. to keep sympathy warm
for a week at time.
1t may be those toll bridges across
the Missouri, or il may be st. Louis's
proximity to the Sunny South that
causes the delay. but whatever it is,
it surely is vital to the growth and
development of the city.

THE GROWTH OF REFORM.


At the annual meeting of the I.li-
nois State. Medical Society. held May
II, a resolution was adopted urging
the house of delegates to reform the
present "inequitable and undemo-
cratic methods of elction.' and pro-
posing, among other things, "a pro-
vision in the bylaws for the initiative
and referendum for safeguarding the
interests Of the membership at large"
The doctors are to be congratulated
that in the too few hours afforded
them for study of matters outside
their profession, they SO quickly per-
ceived the democracy OF the initiative
and referendum, and seek now to ap-
ply II TO their society aaffirs.
1t will be another step forward
when the doctors, as citizens, urge
the wider application of the initia-
tive and referendum in civil affairs.

DEATH OF SENATOR wHIPPLE.

lCedar Rapids Republican,
All Iowa will sincerely mourn the
passing of the estimable Senator
William P Whipple of yinton. Few
men in public life. in Iowa have been
held in higher regard. Senator Whip
pie was a splendid man. an efficient,
conscientious. public servant, high
minded citizen. a lovable friend.
Senator Whipple was a member Of
the legislature a number of years and
guished service. He was recognized as
one of the hrainiest men in the state
senate. He was leader He occupied
a commanding position among the able
men of that body of legislators.
Senator Whipple has left his inn
press upon Iowa legislation. and his
impress is one of which his friends may
well be proud Especially was the
creation of an educational board of
control his product. And while the
plan he advocated so long and which
finally triumphed thru his persistence
has not been in operation more than
few months. yet its desirabilitv is be-
ing everywhere recognized. The edu
cational board stands az monument
to his devotion 70 his view of the right.
AS a friend, Senator Whipple was a
man among host No truer friend
ever lived. His friends loved him and
he was true to his friends.
Those who had the pleasure and
honor Of acquaintanceship with Sena-
tor Whipple feel deep sense of per-
sonal loss
