How to Write.
~ Or. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1915. by Prank Cransl

We don't like book that tells US
something entirely new; we like book
that tells us what we already know.
The object of writing is not to impart
information but to stimulate the readers
mind
The most read book in the world, and
one OF the Oldest, is the Bible. II Is
priced because of its moral instruction.
And yet every moral truth in It was In
us also. 1t utters humanity.
Within us float myriads of dumb half
convictions. nebulous ideas, incipient
convictions, partly glimpsed enthusi-
asms. The writer is appreciated who
makes these vocal and clear.
When you read thing and lay it
down and exclaim, There! That's what
| have always thought, only could not
say it, you have paid the author one
OF the greatest compliments.
Straining after novelty is sure TO lead
to bad writing. perhaps to literature"
and one who starts out 10 write "litera-
ture" is rather sure TO write nonsense.
The best ideas in the world are the
old ones. To make them new and vi
brant with life is art.
The most interesting thoughts are
those that are the commonest property
of all men; not the rare, unusual. NOR
bid. or bizarre. If you can find out what
everybody feels, and can say il for them
IN lucid terms, the souls Of all readers
leap to you.
The wisest man in the world is Every
body.
The unframed and ungifted writer
seeks for strange and outlandish sub
jects yet tells Of them in the old banal
forms You must have originality, or
rather personality, in your style, to-
gether with universally in your theme.
Personality in style is gained only by
rigorous loyalty to yourself. You must
avoid the worn plstitudes, the faded
types of expression, and write succinctly
in your own language.
In style there is no master. 1t must
be your very own, the flavor of your
own life
To write well, therefore, nrst listen TO
mankind, know people, appreciate and
understand the commonalty, for here
are the deep, ever fresh springs of eter-
nal human interest.
Second, when you see the truth clear
ly write it down in your own way, M
simply and foreefully as possible.
Add TO these infinite practice, mo day
without line" just patient, hard work
and perhaps you can learn to write.

From Another Point OF VieD
By c. T. S.

Somehow we feel that the G.. w. in O..
w. Jackson. %, in the list of marriage
licenses. does not stand for George Wash
ington.
There are many kinds Of patriot,
We note since wars declared;
There's the fellow who Is going
And the one who can't be spared.
There's the one that they will have 10 draft
And he who volunteers;
one 10 his country gives his life;
The other just three cheers.
Germany is said TO be doing everything
possible now to gain time. 1t is too bad
Germany hasn't the new watch We
bought.
Gardening at this rather chilly season
will be found more pleasant, of course,
near the hot beds.
THE money OF our country Is in the SOIL
From speech.
Slight correction: The money of our
country is neither in the soil nor in the
till until we till.
If we knew what il cost, originally, TO
pave Cass-ave.
And If we knew which one OF our pubic
service monopolies ripped up the pave
ment last summer and ruined it.
And if we knew just what it is costing
the city at the present time to patch the
holes the public service monopoly left in
it
We could tell you just how much
tribute the taxpayers pay in this instance
TO public service monopoly.
Wasn't last Wednesday a delightful
springlike day. ~

1t Is a Great and
Grand Parade That Is
Marching Home in Russia

A scene is TO be witnessed in northern
Asia such as this old world has never
before beheld.
1t is a procession of fifty thousand
sledges loaded with men and women
from the mines and convict settlements
of Siberia who are freed By the downfall
of Russia's autocracy.
These people are mostly martyrs TO
their opinions.
They thought or acted too strongly for
the cause of human freedom, but now
they are on their way to their old homes
in free country, their own country.
The worlds war is unparalleled in its
horrors, but who, looking upon this null
titude of people restored to home and
freedom, shall say that the war is with
out great compensation.
Millions of Jews restored to manhood
and the miserable, enslaved hordes OF
Siberia on the way home!
When the angel whipped Adam into
the wilderness to earn his bread by hard
labor, there was still the mercy or God
in il.
This war is not all hell when, thru it.
a hundred and ninety millions of people
step out into the sunlight of freedom
with full opportunity TO progress.
No more shall Russians who dare To
think justice, equality and liberty stag
ger thru the snow, with hopeless faces
turned toward the Siberian blackness
with the lashings of brutal drivers or
their backs.
Today the long trails to that hell in
the far northeast are crowded by an
endless procession of smiling, singing
glorying ex-slaves, bound for home,
And the arch-iend of sutocracy is un-
der lock and key.
We rejoice with Russia.
