Money Well Spent,

A new York paper tells this story OF
the strange and unheard-of conduct of
certain editor whom he is wise
enough not to Identify:
1.-THE editor had read some newspa.
per stories Of certain reporter They
were better than the average newSpa,
per story, but not the type for maya
zines. But the editor asked the re.
porter to send him story. He did
and received q glowing wire, saying ir
effect that the story was masterpiece
and a check. With the check was a
request for more stories The stories
came and the second third, fourth and
fifth stories appeared. but not the first
story. Months later the certain editor
and the certain reporter met. The lat
ter asked what had happened to his
first story. The certain editor answer
ed: 1T was the worst thing I have
ever read. Yes, paid you for it and
wired you that it was magnificent.
Do you suppose that I wanted to put
out the spark that knew would soon
be great light? invested that praise
and that money in you because I felt
that when you had confidence In your
self you would make good. And YOU
made good"

Natural Freaks,

Double nuts often grow on the wal
nut, chestnut and hickory trees, but
these are more frequently double
only on the outer covering, with an
Ill shaped interior and kernels that
are deformed
Double cocoanuts are deemed a
wonderful curiosity among the natives
of the lands where they grow. They
are highly priced as charms against
disease and other calamities, and are
kept for centuries by some tribes.
The best explanation of such freaks
Is that they are due to the peculiar
manner In. wls4eaf the fertilizing pol
len is caught4And retained. The posi-
lion Of the fruit or nut may have
some effect on It's growth in double
form, and In the case of vegetables
