Gelett Burgess pays a tribute to
newspaper men in his latest book,
Find the Woman. IF you knew NY
thing about h profession he says,
you ought to know that any Informal
ton is safer with a good newspaper
man than with any one else" Ex-
perience has taught many people. the
truth Of this statement.

time ago that a posthumous novel by
Vaughn kester is to be published in
the future, the publishers Of MI.
kester's last success, The Prodigal
Judge, " received hundreds of let
ters from all owe the United States

of recent years has made such a broad
appeal as The Prodigal Judge. Ono
reader It the book expresses the opin-
Ion that Mr.. kester must have labor
ed under the influence OF a genuine
inspiration while writing this novel;.
All of those who have written the
publishers express their delight at
the prospect Of reading another book
from Mr.. Kester's pen.
Since writing Secretary Of Frivol-
Gus Affairs. Mrs. May Futrelle has

the novelist that she could do every
thing Louie could do except talk
baseball. Another was frank in con-
Tossing that she thought this would
afford her a good chance to pick n

Mrs. Futrelle has been compelled to
answer that she Is not running an
employment bureau, and that she
fears positions like LOulie'S ara few
