The Successful Newspaper.

Journalism is a profession fol
which no institution of learning can
give a diploma. A successful news;
paper is, as a rule, the product OF
plodding, perseverance and hard
work. Yet it is profession requir-
ing sound and varied learning, for
there is hardly another calling where
learning can lie more useful than in
an editorial room. No one can run
a successful newspaper without a
good education and some sort of
preparation for the work.
The greatest journalists of this
and other countries prepared them
selves for the profession in which they
became so illustrious. They were
great readers, men of keen observa.
tion, sagacious questioners and close
and careful students of past and con-
ternporaneous history. They were,
as we'll, great politicians, and be-
came very eminent in writing and
speaking on the great political and
social questions of the hour, shaping
public opinion and leading their
country on to great power and pres

Dead in a Foreign Land.

Word was received here on Satur-
day Of the death of Miss Eunice NJ.
Atkins, at Erzeroom, Asiatic Turkey,
more than two weeks ago. 1t appears
that her death was due to smallpox
which she probably had contracted
while nursing one of her pupils.
Miss A tkins was a daughter Of the
late II. NJ. A tkins, one OF the first
white settlers of Princeton, and was
born at Elk River in 1882. She
graduated from the high school at
that place, and then entered Ham
line university and was graduated
from that institution in 1902. There
was no brighter girl ever graduated
from Hamline than Eunice Atkins.
After leaving Hamline she was
principal of the high school at Lake
field, this state, and later she filled
the same position in a high school at
Orangeville, Idaho.
About seven years ago she volun-
teered as missionary and was sent
by the Congregational society to
Asiatic Turkey, where she labored
increasingly teaching, preaching and
working to promote the spiritual and
temporal welfare of those in her
charge. She. was a warm hearted
and impulsive girl and we can we'll
understand how she would incur .any
risk, however great, to alleviate pain
and relieve distress. But the pity
of it is that such a bright young life
should be sneedlessly sacrificed in
that far-off benighted land. Perhaps
she has not. died in vain.
Eunice Atkins was an exceptionally
bright and loyable member Of an ex-
ceptionally bright family. She is
survived by two sisters Miss
Blanche, who is member of the
st. Cloud Normal school faculty, and
Miss Ruth, who is at present en-
gagged in missionary work in India.
