HOW TO LEARN TO WRITE
Road to Success In Literature Is q
Long One, ard tho Path Thickly
Beset With Sorrows.

Putting words together is not writ
Ing; making fine sentences is not
writing; celebrating striking plots is
not writing. or all the arts, lltera-
ture is the most eXacting mistress. To
write you must have lived, you must
have suffered and know JOY, you must
be able to analyze people, to under
stand their motives, to love them.
Granted that you have learned
something Of the motives, the pas
slons, the sorrows that rack us hui
mans, then you must also have your
medium In control. Words are IKE
little creatures that march and fight
and sing. They are like extra hands
md brains. All the passions wait on
them. Until you get this sense OF the
cholceness, the fragillty, the power
of words, you are not ready to tran
scribe your thoughts.
You must support yourself. then
study when you can. Write all the
time, get facility with words, then
tear up your manuscript. Don't try
to sell things. Begin to watch people,
get abreast of events. Read the pa
pers and the magazines In the library.
Read Shakespeare, Fielding, Dickens,
Thackeray, Bunyan, Meredith, Barrie
md Galswcrthy. You might even try
Shaw.--Amerlcnn Magazine.

for idle curiosity or impudence," OBJ
served Reuben. "But will watch and
see If can't find out what Is troubling
him.
The speaker glanced tenderly after
the fair girl as she sighed, nodded an
adieu and went on her way. A victim
Of hard luck In the city, six months
previous Reuben had struck out for
the country. He had found home,
indeed, at the Drake farm. More than
that, he had found Meta and life had
taken on new and inspiring guise for
him.
Reuben placed himself In the way Of
his employer without arousing suspi-
ciOn or resentment. The dark cloud,
however, did not leave the brows of
the sturdy farmer and he never opened
his lips on his personal affairs. One
day Reuben made discovery that star
tied him. He learned in the village that
MIR. Drake was arranging to mortgage
the farm for five thousand dollars.
Reuben did not tell Meta, for he
knew the intelligence would grieve her.
He was sorely mystified himself, for
he could place no reason why his en-
ployer should borrow money, unless for
some secret purpose. Then twice he
saw Mr.. Drake come from the direction
OF the Drew farm, each time looking
broken and depressed, and once, as
Drew drove by, not observing Reuben
standing in the shadow of some
bushes, the latter saw him shake his
whip In the direction of the house and
grin and chuckle as though vastly en-
joying some spiteful triumph over the
man who in the far past, 1t was said,
won his wife against the efforts of his
rival.
Reuben went into the sitting room
late one afternoon, to find Drake at
his desk counting over great heap of
banknotes, his face colorless and
drawn with some mental anguish. He
uttered deep groan and Reuben
caught the muffled words:
"In the grasp Of that villain, and /
dare not defy him. No, no, for Metals
sake / Will make the sacrificed !"
"Mr. Drake" spoke out Reuben,
startling the farmer with his sudden
and unexpected appearance and in
tensely moved at the old mans deep
distress, Il must speak out"
what about, lad?" questioned
Drake, trying to disguise his emotion
with the friendly hail.

Chinese Golden Rule.

The foundation for all the Confucian
teachings on human relations, writes
Miles NJ. Dawson, in the December
Case and Comment is set forth in the
"Analects' as follows: "What | do
not wish men to do to me, also wish
not 70 do 10 men," and in another
place, what you do not want done to
yourself, do not do TO others"
This which we Occidentals call 'the
golden rule" is the fundamental con.
cept Of justice underlying all Chinese
Jurisprudence. From it, and not from
special commands or direct texts, is de-
rived the "Thou shalt not Kill, "Thou
shalt not steal ETC., Of the Chinese
law.
This in "the Great Learning" is ex-
patiated on AS follows: What a man
dislikes ia these who are over him,
let him not display toward those who
are under him. what he dislikes In
those who are under him; let him not
display toward those who are over him.
What he hates In those who are ahead
of him, let BIN not herewith precede
those who are behind him; and what he
hates in those who are behind him, let
him not therewIth pursue those who
are ahead Of hin! What he hates 10
receive upon the right, let him not be-
STOW upon the left; and what he hates
70 receive upon the left, let him not be.
STOW upon the right! This is called by
the standard, 10y which, as by measur-
ing square, 20 regulate ones conduct. IS
Confucius did not 70 10 the length OF
the adage. Love thine enemiesn'
but, when once questioned concerning
this, answered, "With what then will
you recompense kindnesSf Recon-.
pense kindness with kindness
Yet, in the "Analects" Confucius ID
reported TO have defined the admirable
virtue Of beneyolence, 1T is 10 love all
men,

WHEN JAMES TOOK A HAND
His story of How Wonderful Machine
Worked First Caused Astonish-
ment and Then Disgust.
EIGTN BUTTER

While | was running bolt cutter at
the Rock Island shops in Chicago,
writes a contributor to Railway and
Locomotive Engineering, | boarded at
a house which was frequented by To-
comotlve engineers and firemen. These
men talked great deal about their
tremendous feats In getting over GER
tain hills without the help Of second
locomotive.
My opposite nelghbor Mt table, a
young fellow who ran lathe In the
shop, grew tired of this monotonous
Dragging; he thought he was entitled
to do little talking himself. One eve
ming be called out to me:
"Well, l went over and saw that
new machine today, and it's astonish-
ing the fine work 1t does"
"How does 1t work." inquired.
"Well," said James, "by means Of
n pedal attachment, fulcrumed lever
converts a vertical reciprocatlng mo-
ton into circular movement. The
principal part of the machine Is a huge
disk that revolves In vertical plane.
Power Is applied through the axis Of
the disk, and when the speed Of the
driving arbor is moderate, the periphery
of the apparatus is travelling at high
velocity. Work Is done on this periph-
cry. Pieces Of the hardest steel are by
mere impact reduced to any shape the
skillful operator desires"
"What In the name Of sense Is that
machine, anyway" demanded Tom
Briggs.
"Oh, It's new grindstone," replied
james, and silence that could be cut
with knife fell upon the crowd.

When his wife asked him what had

the underbrush and then treed some
thing. We went to the tree and
thought It was coon, and we laid

The next morning we saw that we had
treed a big black cat instead of a
