A Hutchinson paper recently pub
lished paragraph concerning Miss
Cloe Arnold, a former Topeka news |
paper woman, who has some friends
in Topeka interested in her career.
on account Of some domestic troubles
she left home when she was quite
young and went to school at the
Northwestern university, Chicago. She
returned after two years to Kansas
and got a position with the Wichita
Beacon, but lacking experience, she
was unable to keep it, but entirely I'M

Bob Evans was printed over her sig |

of the office decided her to go to
Kansas City, and she sent telegram
to one of the papers of that city that
she was coming to work for them, and
somehow the self assurance of her
methods didn't prevent her from land |

Arnold has gone east and has sold her
stories to some good magazines, in

been published by her were about

ton Booth and Charles Zueblin, edi-
tor of the Century. She also con-
tributes aphorisms to the New York
Sun and criticises fiction for a New
York house.
