lcnce without labor; that writing, re- vising, again and again, creating anew over and over, and again revising, are the only means to real success.
 Mark Twain places the works of the writer by the side of all other occu- pations.
 There is an unWritten law he de- clares. about all human successes, and submit to it's requirements. The law is:
 No occupation without apprentice ship. and no pay to the apprentice.'
 This law stands right in the way of the subaltern who wants to be a general before he has smelt powder; and it stands and should stand n everybodys way who applies for pay and position before he has proved himself.'
 A noted psychologist entertained General Lew Wallace when the popu- larity of Ben Hur was at it's height.
 What" asked the great scientist, "does it mean to be genius? The world recognizes you now as ge- nius, and I want your definition of the word"
 And Lew Wallace replied:
 If l should give you three delni- tions for genius, my first would be work; my second would be work, and my third would still be work"
 And he added If I should show you the heaps upon heaps of my rejected manuscripts of Ben Hur, you would understand me-"

refers to all rules as merely the "un conscious sense of judgment and ad- vises that when you write, Don't bother about rules, and don't follow any method that does not suit you, but seven,' which, being a parable, means unto the measure of perfection"
 Over and over again he urges the writer to be-to dare to be--himself to exercise initiative, to do things in his own way
 And replying to the question of whether writer is born or made he answers: Both, but if he is not born he can never be made" and "the big gest part of preparation is the cul- tiNation of ones own personality"
 Ones own personality How much is embodied in that one phrase? To have lived, to have seen and expe- rienced the vicissitudes of all things human, to have mingled largely with Gods creatures in all the varied phases of life! This is vast portion of pre- paredness. efficiency and must enter largely into qualifications for author ship.
 Let every writer then who is so equipped fight bravely against dis ragements-which are sure to come flor they are part of the appren ticeship, a part of the success which is just ahead, and finally accept the message of "The Magic Story" to Co, therefore, and do that which is within you to do; take no heed of gestures which reckon you aside; ask no man permission to perform"

The Birmingham Writers club is very young, only few months old, but al- ready it has outlined 6 programme that has given valuable lessons to those who are trying to accomplish something with the pen. Whenever a club begins to rem der service, then it s most appreciated by the members, and it's influence pene- trates society Especially is this true when 1t helps those who are sending mat ters to the press. The public eye catches the story and it's expression, truth and style have much to do with holding the interest of the readers During a series of meetings there have been many in- structive papers read leading those who write to give serious study to the meth ods of those who have already succeeded.
 The club also invites criticism on papers presented, and thus there is a valuable personal service at each meeting. The last meeting was especially entertaining and instructive. Mrs. Sidney Ullman read some original poetry pieces, the lines were peculiarly touching; the one didi- cated to ''Alabama's Autumn" was not only very Rbeautiful, but so true to the season. The scenes of our forest were painted in words of splendid rhyme.
 Mrs. Flora Buell. reaC very forceful story from her own pen, entitled, The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayryan and the Ecc1esiastes." The story was told in such pure English, so simple and yet so full of thought. Mrs. Buells pen is directed with great depth of truth, of study and her own wonderful interpretation of life, and mind stored with liberal ideas, and an expression that gives out to her lis- teners the force of a profound thinker.
 Mrs. Alex M. Garber has kindly all lowed the writer the privilege of publish ing her very valuable paper. Its useful ness speaks for itself and gives out to struggling pen fiends lessons of great value. While there are lines of encour- agement, there are suggestions of weak ness that we all possess and assurances of growth with application. In her own style she stimulates efforts and those lines she has borrowed she has applied justly and well. Mrs. Garbers paper is valuable; she has helped; this is the real purpose of the cluD, ana in publish ing this paper the opportunity Is extend ed others who yearn ito Write'

FILIPINOS;
TIME INDEFINITE

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25-A promise
of complete independence for the
Philippines when "in the judgment OF
the United States the people Of the
islands shall be fitted therefor" Is con-
tained in a revision OF the preamble
to the pending bill to enlarge the self
government of the F1liplnos, adopted
today by the senate committee.
After adopting the preamble, which
was written by Senator Kenyon of
Iowa, the Philippine committee voted
10 to 9 to report the bill as amended
with recommendations that 1t be
passed. .
In the Jones bill as 1t passed the
house the preamble declared that It
had always "been the purpose of the
people of the United States to with
draw their sovereignty over the
Philippine Islands and to recognize
their independence as soon as a stable
government can be established there"
There was no reference, however,
as to who was to determine when the
Flipinos should be ready for indie
pendence. The Kenyon amendment
leaves the question to the government
OF the United States.

Secretary of State Says He
Favors Treaties With
Costa Rica.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-Suggest-
ing that it was not unlikely that the
United States some day would build
another i~nteroceanic waterway to
supplement the Panama canal, Sec
rotary Bryan tonight explained that
he regarded ii as a wise precaution
for the American government to ne
gotiate treaties with Nicaragua IL
Costa Rica. giving this country an
option on a canal route across that
section of Central America.
He also spoke of the Importance OF
q naval base In the Bay OF Fonseca
and announced that the state depart
ment was prepared to treat FOR this
with Honduras, Salvador and Mica
ragua.
ANY great enterprise like the
Panama canal" said Mr.. Bryan, I'm

the route across Nicaragua was re-
garded as the favored route. As a
matter Of business 1t Is wise to pro-
vide against contingencies. Anybody
who Is interested in so large al en-
terprise as our canal at Panama a
afford to pay Il small amount for
this addititnal route"
The secretary explained at length
the purpose of the pending treaty
with Nicaragua, which, in its orig
inal form awakened a protest from
Costa Rica as well as Honduras and
Salvador. He expressed the opinion
that these protests had arisen from
a misunderstanding of the purposes
of the United States n thought the
situation had now been clarified by
the announced purpose of the Ameri-
can government TO treat literally with
Honduras and Salvador for their
rights in the Bay OF Fonseca, and
with Costa Rlca separately for her
portion OF the River San Juan, which
forms a part Of n Of the suggested
routes.
As a result Of these treaties, the
United States. by the payment of
3 100000 to Nicaragua and about
half that amount to Costa Rica,
would obtain an option on any canal
route across those two countries.
Mr.. Bryan explained that when
Costa Rica protested that her rights
were not recognized in the Mica

ment pointed out that whenever the
canal was dug and there was n

we would purchase an option at any

What Costa Rica complained Of

canal would affect them. II you ex-
anime the treaty with Nicaragua you
will find reference Is made to the use
of Costa Rican land in making the
canal, and | told them that whenever
we had to do anything that affected
their land we would, OF course. pur-
chase the option at once. 1t may
have been that Costa Rica misunder-
stood the proposition and thought It
included the Plat amendment but

When Rev. Aloysius Smith went out
of his study and saw the man stand
ing in the hall he could not repress
. shudder of disgust. Broad as an
OK, with short and rather bowed legs,
still his figure was that of an Adonis
compared with his face. And the
last straw was that his name should
be Cupid.
Come in. my friend" he said after
an effort. What can ! do for you?"
I'm looking for a position in Little

in town, but my health gave out and

The pastor looked at the fellow
with a repugnance which he could
not conceal.
Il know my face is against ME,
SIR" said Cupid with a smile.
And it was astonishing how the
smile changed him. Cupid smiling
looked almost decent.
The pastor racked his brains. He
took a sudden liking to the man, and
he was resolved not to be prejudiced
against him on account Of his looks.
Miss Cavendish was wanting a
handy man to take care of her garden
and pony" he said. Il don't know
whether that is in your line. my
friend?"
Il was bred on a farm" answered
Cupid. Il think, sir, could manage
the job tiff you'd see Miss Caven
dish first and-and mention my looks

That softened the parson complete

considerably as possible. 1.-THE mar
