CAREFUL AUTHORS
WHO WERE WORRIED
ABOUT COMMAS,


London Tit-Bits: 1t is surprising
how punctilious some authors have
been with respect even to the smallest
detail of their manuscripts. Dickens
was a perfect terror, and would make
enough fuss over an error of pune
tuation to drive a poor comp" out of
his wits.
Tennyson, too. was most particular
that not a comma should be omitted
or misplaced, whilst his revisions were
never finished. Perhaps the greatest
terror OF the compassion was Thomas
Carlyle, for he would cover every
square inch of vacant space both in
the margin and between the lines with
minute additions and emendations-
and not once, but a dozen times.
Victor Hugo was equally difficult to
please and satisfy. or one of his
famous works he made the printers
supply no fewer than eleven success
sive revised proofs, and the last half
dozen were furnished in order to
make quite sure that the commas
were in their right places.
But perhaps Thomas Campbell. the
famous poet VINO wrote sucn stirring
masterpieces as Hohenlinden, The
Battle Of the Baltic, and We Mariners
Of England. takes the cake in this re-
spect. He was fastidious TO a degree,
which fact probably accounts for the
small quantity and perfect quality OF
his literary output. 1t 10 said that he
once walked six miles to his printers,
and six miles back, In order to nave a
comma changed into a semicoloni

ably the best known poem in the
English language.
Its first line reads,
The curfew tolls the kneIl of part
ing day;
but when Gray sent it to the press his
manuscript read:
The curfew tolls, the knell of part
ing day.
The thoughtful compositor did not
understand the word tolls as an
intransitive verb, so dropped the com
ma thinking the poet had put 1t in by
mistake, and when Gray read the line
his sensitive a at once caught its
new, sustained melody, and he adopt
ed the compositor's correction.
Probably the most fastidious living
writer is the poet William Watson.
His work bears the impress of extreme
care, and, like Tennyson, his revision
seems never to be done.

NOME and VICINITY

Valley City, N. D., Jan. EFT is we'll
worth while to go to Nome. The fires
have purified the town and now it is
practically all brick business places
and about the neatest little town in
the state. One might go for a drive
in the country between Valley City
and Nome and easily come to be-
lieve himself in the most thickly pop
ulated sections of IoWa as the small
farm up that was is the rule rather
than the exception and the result of
good farming is to be noticed in the
buildings and splendid improvements
one every side and when one arrives
in town they will at once be attracted
to the place on account of the clean
yards, we'll painted buildings, and the
solid blocks of neat brick on the main
streets. The builders of Nome are to
be congratulated on their enterprise
and foresight and also, we suppose, on
the timely fires that cleaned out most
Of the unsightly old buildings and left
| Nome the most beautiful little town
in the state.

fear Of finding her in blue funk of
regret. But to my surprise. found
her quite serene.
When l asked her II she had felt any
regret she actually smiled YES" she
said, Il did at first. AS soon as the
disadvantages began to appear-you
know there are always some disad-
vantages in any house that you don't
find out until you actually live in tt
began to wish I had taken the other
house, and to think Of all its advant-
ages. And then-I don't know how 1t
happened-it suddenly came over me
that If I had taken the other house,
some unexpected disadvantages would
have been sure to appear In that, and
of course shouldn't have known about
the disadvantages of this one, and so I
should have felt Just the same about
this house as do about that one. Since
then, every time I have started to re-
greet the other house I've just put my
mind right on that fact and you don't
know how much 1t has helped"
Don't you think that's wise point Of
view?
And not only in regard to selecting
a house. but In regard to any decision.
Whatever line OF action you choose you
will find some disadvantages in 1t, and
by contrast the course you didn't
choose will appear alluring. But don't
be deceived by this. Keep constant
ly before your mind that there must
be disadvantages in the other course
which following 1t would have brought
out. They may be less than the pres
ent evils but then, again, they may be
more. Who knows?
So the next time you find yourself
about to have an attack OF the regret
devils after a decision, try to exercise
them with that medicine thought.

The Eue11;11g Chit-Chat

me Of the two most futile and
foolish wastes OF energy In the
Hi world is to worry over the fu-
nj ture; the other Is to regret the
past.
The first Is rather more common; the
second rather more foolish. For
whereas worry might possibly spur one
on to action, regret cannot in any way
affect the past Things done are done.
THE moving finger writes. and having
writ, moves on, not all your piety nor
wit shall lure 1t back to cancel half
a line, nor all your tears wash out
word of IT.
All of which is just a prelude to the
introduction of a medicine which may
help anyone afflicted with the disease
of regret.
1t is the discovery OF friend Of
mine. She has always been afflicted
with a tendency to this vitality sapping
disease. Decisions are agony to her
because she knows that the moment
she has decided either way she will be
seized with an attack OF her chronic
disease. All the advantages of the
line of action which she has reject
ed marshal themselves before her mind
and haunt her like avenging ghosts.
Recently this woman had to make a
very important decision. She was to
buy a house In which she would prob
ably live many years. She was so fear
full that she would do the wrong thing
that she became almost hysterical over
the matter. The selection finally mar
rowed down to choice between two
houses. She vacillated between these
for about month, asking everyone's
advice and making up her mind three
times a day
When she finally took the fatal leap
