THE VENEER OF THE YEARS
BY WALTER CREEP.

"But, Mr.. Johnson" Merlin ar
gued, lit is so appropriate, So"
Never mind, cut it out"
"But is is"
Never mind" said the editor,
waving his hand for silence.
Merlin considered this a very
quick though extremely improper
way of closing. However, there
was nothing for him to do but com
ply with editorial wishes. SO he
wrote the story over, emitting the
quotation.
But such incidents as these were
not nearly so trying as were the
numberless temptations that were
daily presented to him. Many an
other young man of his type-am-
bilious, sensitive and unsophistic-
ated-would have fallen. But not
so he. That spirit of determine
ton that, when he had failed in
Chicago, had led him away to the
west, almost penniless and had at
last pointed the way upward
that spirit would not let him yield
now to the trivial desires or the
vain lure of sin. Rather it forced
him onward over the stony path
toward a golden future; lifting
him buoyantly above the petty
waves and tides that ebbed and
flowed about him, urging him
swiftly forward, like an argesy I'M
der sail, toward the light that
cleaned on the further shore.

Merlin explained that he had
heard that there was a vacancy on
the staff of the SUN and that he
would like to have the position.

the editor, but who told you
about it?"
"A gentleman on the train

"He did not tell me his name,
but can give a description OF
him" He described the stranger
who had told him the story.
"Uhuh, that was Burton, a stock
holder in the SUN. His recon-
mendation counts good deal,
young man. Can you report
news?"
II can" confidently asserted
Merlin. though he had never writ

had achieved an object and, as he
thought, was started on the road
that leads to wealth and glory.

TEMPTATIONS


It took Merlin several weeks az j.
ter he became reporter on the SUN
to become accustomed to the duties
that were imposed upon him. First,
after an interview with the edi-
tor, he found that his boss was
not an educated man, and it was
extremely CALLING to be ordered
about and advised by one he knew
to be his inferior in learning. Mer-
lin was sensitive to the superlatiye
degree. He strongly resented any
correction that was made in his
copy" and was not slow about
saying it, This insolence on the
part of his employe was not at all
wholesome to the gruf proprietor,
resulting in many bickenings and
disputes in which the impudent re-
porter invariably lost his side of
the argument and usually had to
rewrite the whole story. Merlin
contends that these arguments did
not always conform to the rules
laid down in logic. AS for in
stance story was one day brought
in about IA mar who had just died
in abject poverty. 1t was reported
that the deceased was the owner
of one of the richest claims in the
section aud during the boom of the
last season, had been offered one
hundred thousand dollars for it,
but refused and held for higher
price. AS consequence, the
boom passed, the claim was never
bid for and the poor fellow died in
destitute circumstances. Now Mer
lin, who was detailed to write this
up, could think of nothing more
appropriate than to begin his arti-
Gle with pOetical quotation. So
he commenced it this way: shake
speare says, There is tide in the
affairs Of men,-which taken at its
was this more fully verified than
in the strange romantic life of
Pete Hawkins, who died here last
week." etc. And while he was
rafting his typewriter keys IN
preparation of this article, the boss
decided to inspect it.
Here, you will have to change
that" he said, looking over Mer-
Inns shoulder at the new words
that were fast taking their places
on the page.
"How's that?" he asked in sur
prise.
"Why, that Shakespeare was there
at the beginning. What do you
think the readers of a daily news
paper, in a mining town in COlora-
do, here in the twentieth century,
care what an old English codger,
who has been dead four hundred
years, said about fortune? This
is so school journal we're running,
nor is it magazine for the dis
cussiOn of classics. They're after
NEWS-these miners are Not
that they care particularly about
Pete being dead, but some of them
might want to know about that
claim, so should the boom come
again, they could fasten on it, !
suspect you'd better cut that part
out-what do our readers care
about Shakespeare"
unfortunately, suspect they
care as little as they know, which
is nothing" Merlin said sarcasti-
cally, but then it would not hurt
them to learn"
"It might not hurt them to learn
but II would probably hurt our cir
culation in teaching them. You
will please write the stcry over"

The sugar shortage threatens to cut

several weeks to keep druggists sup
piled. Letters received from this COM
mittee by druggists in various parts
of the city yesterday developed that
this committee is contemplating dis
banding because it finds ii almost I'M
possible to obtain even meagcr con-
signments.
Max Lipshitz, druggist, Of 615
East 165th Street, declared that unless
he obtains sugar to-day it will be i'm
possible for him to fill some prcscrip-

provide sugar having proved futile, the
matter will be taken UP with Commits
