that his daily work is very serious
and earnest business. and not a game.
no matter how much he chaffs about his
work.
And il is fashion in the newspaper
Office for men to talk charity and light
somely about their work and others
work, but if they treat the work itself
lightly they soon become secretaries or
officials of one kind and another. 1t is
common inside knowledge in newspaper
Offices. but knowledge which 50 per cent
of the people outside the Offices do not
have, that highly efficient or even plain
ly efficient newspaper writers and desk
men" are not looking around for ordi-
nary public Offices. They make more
money in their own business. and their
education and intelligence than public
office. or course, it is more exacting,
but the real man in a newspaper Office
works all the time, because he likes to
work There are some cases Of hard
luck in our lives. just as in the lives
OF other people, and some fellows lose
out because of unfortunate circum-
stances over which they have no control.
but the general rule is in this line of
work. as in all other lines of work, that
the fit survive and follow the profess
sion with honor and profit to them
selves.
The Rambler does not forget that he
promised cot to bid goodbye to the
little church on the ridge--the Bethesda
Presbyterian Church-without recalling
to their friends and kindred, where such
recollection may be required, the names
of those buried in the solemn little ceme-
terry. He would like to recall all the
names. but many OF the sleepers there
have no monuments Here are the

them by clairvOyance or magic. He
tells what the record is and where he
got 1t.
II he has too few facts or too many
facts Of kind that might jade the
reader, he tries his hand at some
form of descriptive writing or intro
spective discussion TO keep the in
terest Of the reader awake. For. il
the Rambler fails to hold the atten-
ton of a sufficient number Of read
ers, the "rambles' would be ac-
counted a failure. Therefore. when
the Rambler has too few facts or
too many of a particular kind to
keep the attention of the average

work about wild flowers, birds,
snakes, butterflies, beetles. rocks,
sands ferns, MOSES and natural his

ries about ghosts and fairies or try
humor about ancestors. ancestry,
blood" human vanities and the like.
The matter. according to the way
it is written and put together, consti-
tutes either good workmanship or
poor workmanship. If the reader fol-
lows it with interest and does not see
the cracks and joints or "mechanics"
of the writing, it is a good job. II he
yawns before getting through the
first paragraph and turns to some
other page or column, the story may
be piece of poor workmanship or it
may be that the reader is not inter
ested in story of that particular
kind or subject. But generally the
story gets the blame. and the man
who writes it may fail under sus-
picion Of having done piece of poor
work, and having fallen under sus-
picion. he may at length be convict
ed of doing poor work. If a fellows
average falls below the standard of
the newspaper on which he works
he loses out" and then he may turn
up as private secretary or the
holder of some sort of a public office.
Then all the papers. in the compli-
mentary spirit which they commonly
show toward all persons. will print
his picture with a pleasant story to
the effect that Mr.. John Doe, long
distinguished member of the staff
Of the Daily Bazoo, has been appoint
ed consul to Dahomey or assistant
director of the department of useless
documents or worthless statistics, or
something like that. 1t may say that
he graduated at the head of hts class

Of High Hope and earned his degree

which his mother and father spent
on him in the University of High
Hope, could never learn to write
good enough English and quick
enough English to make first-clas
living on newspapers. Then, this
gentleman, on settling down to the
public service. will cross his legs and
stick his thumbs in the armholes of
his vest and say to every reporter

hero, and he established a club for
the baseball fans over a saloon.
Meantime he found more profitable
labor driving the Fourteenth Street
horse cars, and once, in front of
Tammany Hall, one Of the horses
baked and decided to take a rest.
Traffic was blocked, a crowd gath
cred, and when a policeman was
about to shoot the horse, which had
all the symptoms Of dying animal,
Murphy, with considerable fuss, re-
moved the harness, quietly readjust-
ed it, and then yelled:
"Whoa, there! Stop him.
The horse jumped up and started
like mad, thinking he was free, but
Murphy was back on the platform of
the old Blue Belt Line car, leaning
over the dashboard, silently chuck
ling over his strategem, as the
horses resumed the slow trot of
their kind.

dropped the reins and took out his
