accounting on the part of every mer- chant and manufacturer. He has found that in majority of cases busi- ness firms were ignorant of costs.
 Among truths uttered by MT. Hurley were these: Quality and service are becoming greater factors in the field of merchandising. Long after the price if 8 product is forgotten the quality is remembered. The man who does not know his true costs is the man who prices his goods foolishly and thereby impairs the business of his sound competitors at the same time that he ruins his own. Too low price-making based on guess work or on partial cost is menace to sound business"
 MT. Hurley's address is somewhat longer than usual, but it's careful perusal will we'll repay any business man. It will be published in pamphlet form for free distribution.
 Press Operators
 Are Kept Busy
 TIT is generally conceded that there U is a great deal of hard work done in the average newspaper office, but the casual visitor who has watched press operators hammering away at their. typewriters hour after hour, while the telegraph instruments click off the news of the world, cannot fail to be impressed by the fact that these men have no sinecure. When there IS a big "story' to handle the tension is even greater.
 The current Traffic Bulletin of the Associated Press, which serves The Age Herald, contains an article by an Associated Press operator of Boston. While employed on circuit at Man chester, N. H., he proved by figures that he was the hardest worked man in a local newspaper office
 When the subject was brought up for discussion after closing hours it l was decided by most of the newspaper men present that the stereotypers did 1 the hardest work. The telegraph op- orator made a contrivance with the assistance of the office boy by which | he showed that it required ten ounces of pressure to print each letter on his He took report during the night that averaged 14,000 words. five letters to each word, he estimated that he exerted pres sure on his keyboard of 100000 ounces, or 21 IA tons.
 This was simply the mechanical part of his work. The nervous strain of receiving" must also be taken into The 14,O0O words of his report had first to be Tread" as they were ticked off and then tran scribed in the form in which it was published.

The stuart's Have Family Reunion

Prefacing his sermon Sunday morning at the First Methodist church, the first in a series of discourses on the home, pr. George R. Stuart, the eminent pas tor, said:,
 Ut is well for families to unite occa- sionally and touch hands with each other Twice year, at Christmastide and in August, I have my children and my grandchildren come to me and gather ir family reunion. Christmas we were disappointed and so our family reunion has been in progress since last Friday and today have my five children under my roof"
 Dr. Stuart then introduced MT. and Mrs. Stentz of North Carolina, and MT and Mrs Pettyjohn of Virginia, his two daughters and their husbands, all gifted musicians, who sang some beautiful se- lections before the sermon.

Did NijinsIky Dance With PavIowas
 Every now and then some reader thinks he discovers an error in the pages of a newspaper, and it tickles him to death," said Dolly Dalrymple yesterday. He immediately begins to write in about 1t; indites a letter to the editor,' and goes on like something wild. Of course, mistakes have no particular business in per which makes no mistakes Is mighty poor newspaper.
 "The famous Greek district man who brought the news of Marathon to Athens did not wait to get the complete list ot the casualties; it Is just as likely as not that he left the field before the fight was ended The folk in town were glad to hear the general trend of the engage ment.
 "The newspaper man is always in hurry; he knows that if he drops any thing there will be historian along a little later to pick it up, all of which suggests the line I wrote in Sunday s Age-Herald relative to the famous Ballet Russo which will appear here at the Jef- ferson theatre on Thursday evening, February l, which had to do with people who have seen the great Nijinsky dance with Pavlowa will be delighted to see him again
 Storms of protest Nijinsky had never danced with Pavlowa; how's that? What dye mean? As matter of fact, the line was correct. Nijinsl1y has danced in the same company with Pavlowa, which idea was meant to be conveyed, but not with her, as he never appeared on pro- gramme with the other famous Russian dancer, Mordkin. It was either a Paw Iowa and Mordkin programme or a Mi jinsky and Karsavina programme So, after all, Ardent Admirer,' allow me to draw your attention to the fact that the line was correct.

D. Q's, and the Lord only knows what else cor recting my dreadful, awful, horrible, un- forgiveable mistake. Many of them at tributed the authorship of the lines to Brooke, Laurence Hope, some to Ella Wheeler Wilcox, and a few to Bliss Car men, all of which was very edifying and highly educational and will prevent me from ever making the mistake again

From the New York Times.
 6T1HAT the late Richard Watson Gill
 der, for many years editor of the = Century, found the writings Of his friend, Mark Twain, lat times in artistcally and indefensibly coarse,' is one of the many interesting revelations made in the Letters of Richard Watson Glider" recently published under the editorship of his daughter, Rosamond Glider (Houghton Mifflin Co.)
 The most noteworthy letters are those which show Mr. Glider directing the fortunes of his magazine, in correspond ence with contributors who were the most distinguished writers of their day. but with whom, nevertheless he did not hesitate to deal firmly. considering Gin spite of his gentleness and diplomacy the welfare of the magazine as more impor- tant than the pride of the authors.
 In 1886 a superintendent of public schools in the west wrote to the Century severely criticizing some of Mark Twain 8 writings which the magazine was print ing Mir Glider answered the letter, de- lending Mark Twain, but revealing the fact that "Huckleberry Finn" had been carefully edited for a magazine au- dience."
 A copy of this letter he sent to Mark Twain, with a frank introductory note. He wrote
 My Dear Clemens: am going to ven ture upon an indiscretion. I have had a letter from a superintendent of public am sending you my letter to him. It was | not written for your eye. could so over it and make 1t much more complimentary | and leave out something that sounds harsh. but I have concluded to send 1t ] to you as it Is as 8 sample of what often | letter:

 The last time I ever saw Buffalo Bill was in the streets of great Elwo- pean city. He was accompanied by his beautiful daughter. They were laugh ling and chatting and seemed to bi happy and free. Here is one who re- grets that he lost his fortune. Hia ldeath robs America of truly pic turesqus and remarkable man. 'r3u.<kzlfZNlAapn<fH

TOOK TWAIN TO TASK

stand the points to which you object in Mark Twains writings, but we cannot agree with you that they are destitute of single redeeming quality.' We think that the literary judgment of this coun- try and all England will not sustain you in such an opinion.
 I ask you in all fairness to read MT. Howelps essay on Mark Twain in the September number of the Century for 1882 To say that the writings of Mark Twain 'are hardly worth place in the columns of the average country newspa- per which never assumes any literary airs" seems to us to be singularly un- true
 MT. Clemens has great faults; at times he is inartistically and indefensibly coarse, but we do not think anything oe his that has been printed in the Century is without decided value, literary and otherwise. At least, as his Century sketches are of decided force and worth. Mark Twain is not giber at religion believes in the best things. Nevertheless there Is much of his writing that we would not print for a miscellaneous au- dience. If you should ever compare the chapters of "Huckleberry Finn" as we printed them, with the same as they ap- pear in his book, you will see the most decided difference These extracts were carefully edited for a magazine audience with his full consent.
 Perhaps you know my friend. pr. George Macdonald, the celebrated novel; ist. lecturer, and preacher. He is one of the most spiritually minded men now living. and a most enthusiastic admirer of Mark Twain. Once. when Doctor Mac Donald was staying at my house. he spent some hours in reading with great l delight one of Mark Twain's books be- fore preaching one of the most profound. moving. and spiritual sermons to which ever listened.

 That was the fuse that lit the spark that caused the greatest eruption of
