The Joy of Journalists.
From the Indianapolis News.


Perhaps because so many authors OF
popular fiction are former reporters the
impression has become pretty firmly es-
tablished that journalism Is poor school
for the training of writer's. Enforced
haste In composition and the distractions
attendant on writing in a newspaper
office preclude great nicely of style and
results often in crude workmanship One
recalls the letter written by Robert Louis
Stevenson to Richard Harding Davis, then
reporter, and to others working
with him, that IL they ever expected 10
become writers they would have to burn
the midnight oil In overcoming the faults
contracted in the hurried pounding out OF
stories and ideas in the days work
But now comes Anatole France, the
master French stylist, with a word OF
cheer for the plodding thousands of en-
bryo Thackerays and Stevensons in news
paper offices. ut is an inyeterate preju-
dice" he says in a recent introduction to
book of verse, ito believe that one
spoils his pen in writing for the news
papers. On the contrary, one gains in
that way supplenes, as also ease and that
readiness without which the phrase does
not move gracefully and never smiles"
His dfctum will be accepted as final by
the host of newspaper reporters who al
ready see in their STYLES the growing sup.

maid who had been assigned to minis
ter to our comfort accepted her duty
as a trust. She was unbelievably short,
and very sturdy. Her broad face and
the strength of her round, shapeless
limbs proclaimed the hardy bloom OF
the peasaantry: The physical, mental.
and emotional unity which comes as
the heritage Of such unmixed rustic
blood is in itself prepossessing
charm. Our daughter of mother earth
was as maternal as she was diminu-
tive. She might think Of thousand
services, her bare feet might start Of
an instant across the mats to respond
to any request, but never did she sur
render one iota Of her instructive belief
that we, merely being men, were only
luxurious accessories for the world to
possess. She was SO primordially FEM
mime that she inspired a terrifying
thought of the possibility of society be-
ing sometime modelled after the queen
dom of the bees.
She had never seen a foreigner, but
she had heard much gossip Of our GUS
toms. Her inquiring mind was intent
upon verifying this gossip as far as
possible, and she was also very curious
how to hold our chopsticks and how to
drink our soup. A little more noise
from our lips would show that we were
appreciating the flavor. she admon-
ished.
When the beds We're finally laid she
brought fresh brewing of tea and re-
plenished the charcoal in the hibacii
She lighted our after dinner cigarets
for us by pressing them against the
embers. She sat waiting until we
dropped the last stub into the ashes.
Then the guardian midget rolled back
the quilts, ordered US to bed, tucked
US in carefully, giving to each imparti-
ally a goodnight pat. Her days work
! finished, assuredly her efforts entitled
her to a quiet enjoyment of one Of the
cigarets. She sat down on the foot Of
| my bed and, deeply drawing in the
smoke, blew it into the air with a sigh
of contentment.

BREAKING HORSES FOR
ARMY PROVIDES SPORT

Camp Funston, Kans., (by mail.)-
Risks not often met with on the battle,
field but equally as hazardous are a
part Of the daily routine at the remount
station at Camp Funston, where for
hours every day the fun is fast and
furious as a "puncher" from the west
is put to the test to curb the spirit and
cunning Of an almost incorrigible horse
which has been sent to the station from
some one of the many horse and mule
n1arts Of the country.
The Camp Funston remount station
includes in it's personal q number OF
men from western states such as Col
orado, Arizona and New Mexico who
have literally grown up with horses. Fl.
Y. Shuler, for instance, late trick rope
artist and star rider with a Wild West
show, is a soldier at this auxiliary re-
the comand Of Major Robert Blaine
The horses and mules come to the
station branded for the particular use
in the service to which their build
seems to fit them. All are to be broken
to saddle and harness. When a horse
arrives at the station, a. description Of
it is taken and it is then given the
Maileen test for CHAMBERS, vaccinated
for distemper and placed in quarantine
for 21 days. Just as detention camps
are provided for the enlisted men of
the service, so are there detention
wards for the horses. The hospital
sheds and operating room are in charge
Of Lieut.. H, G. Gale, chief oe the vet
Urinary corps, assisted by Lieut.. Fl. G..
Beaumont.
The remount station is COMPOSED of
some 6S buildings, including the bar
racks, and has a capacity of 5000 ami
mails. Approximately 5000 horses and
mules have been furnished the S9th
national army division, and at present
there are about $500 head on hand.
Commenting on the work Of the sta
ton. ''Puncher" Shuler said:
I'VE have never struck anything yet
that we couldn't ride He admitted,
however that some incorrigibles had
been met which had taxed the wits of
the best of the men before they finally
We're conquered.
Among these were BLACK Demon
and Denver Mud" 1t was the latter
which c. E. Ruby, a buster" from
Broadwater. Neb., rode to a finish. The
horse was snubbed to another. heavy
blind was placed over his eyes and
Ruby swung into the saddle. Cautious
ly the blind was removed. but at first
the horse did not comprehend Under
the prompting of Ruby, however he
responded. Head down, back arched,
legs straight and stiff he gave snap
py and artistic demonstration of cum
ming and power. But Ruby never turned
a hair nor touched leather" After
his first wild spasn, the black settled
down into a wild run, from which he
came back with his temper broken to
bits.
Training schools are conducted at the
remount station in army packing, horse
shoeing and teaming.
