What Is a Short Story?
What is a short story?

Learned men disagree very SER
iously as to its elements. Magazines
pay many thousands of dollars in
contest for clever short stories,
seeking to gain the maximum
amount of entertainment pabulum in
the MINIMUM amount Of space. But
all who profess to know agree that
the story should set forth a COM
plete incident, and that the element
of surprise adds to its effect.
All this is preliminary to publica-
ton of "short story" written by
Ernest Mason of Lenexa, who is 10
years old and is in the fifth grade.
Ernest's story may not take rank
with those of o. Henry and Ruyard
kipling, but 1t details an incident,
and certainly has the element of sur
prise. At any rate, it is a most cred
liable imaginative production for a
| 10-year-old. The story is entitled
THE Fish," and here it is:
| "Once there was little fish who
lived at the bottom of the sea. His
| uhSio hdu uiCu lelL HlH, ny
will, $4,000 oyster pearls, which the
fish used for money
so the little fish decided to take
a trip. He had carpenter fish
make him a carriage.
THE main part was made of a
large shell. The wheels were made
of round little pebbles.
''He harnessed sea horse and
drove out into the sea. Suddenly,
the horse became frightened, broke
from the reins and ran away. When
the fish looked to see what had
frightened his horse he saw a whale
1.-THE whale ate the poor fish
whole. When the fish got to the
whales stomach he thought he saw
something on the wall When he
looked more closely he saw these
words:
| "JONAH-B. C.
Mercy me- exclaimed the fish,
this is the very whale in which that
man Jonah lived for three days."
Ernest Mason is grandson of
Rev. and Mrs. r. P. Stephenson, and
the above was taken from the Kan
sas City Star. The grandson is a
Kansas boy.

Recently President Carran-
"a appointed Edward D. Hasi-

for the de facto government in

rama has several Japanese in

Mexico are very friendly.
Uncle Sam is now sending mu-
nitions to Mexico for Carranza
and the Japanese government
has secret service employees in
the United States to learn all it
can for the purpose of a war
with us if conditions are favor
able. 1t might serve Japan
well to have us aid in arming
Carranza's treacherous Mexi-

strength President Wilson is

be used against us, by Carran-

Villa, who might overthrow

that in an indirect way Japan
