itor of this paper has been shoulder
to shoulder with this man Monroe, ye
editor of the Montrose Enterprise.
Mr.. Monroe paid this office pleasant
call Monday afternoon and evening
and really he is not so vicious as he
appears against this paper at times.
We allowed him to sit in the editor
ial chair, in fact We showed him the
very best time that we could. But
our efforts were in vain. A man drop
ped into the office while Mr.. Monroe
was explaining some highly impor-
tant editorial matters and called him
Charley Adams. Thus our good Of

in fatality, had it not been for quick
police action.

If you decide that acting is the oc- cupation in which you'll be happiest, learn the technique of it so thor oughly that you'll never have to de- pend on me to land a position but can get it through your own sheer ability.
 If you feel that you want to write stories or articles, learn that pro fession thoroughly. Study it care fully. Know what you're doing and how you're doing it. And make success of it. Don't be content with mediocrity.
 If you feel inclined to teach, learn that profession. Or if you want to go into office work, become a good stenographer. You know I know stenography thoroughly and find it big help to me.
 But, Vera, dear, whatever you go in for-whatever line of activity you decide to take up so that you can always feel yourself capable of mak- ing your own way in the world-go in for it strong. Don't be half way about it. Success never comes to half heartedness or mediocrity.
