anything, positively anything that
their stomachs can be stretched wide
enough to hold-it will take two
banks to hold your roll.
But the minute you undertake to
put anything in their heads you are
up against a hard proposition, for
many reasons. One is they don't
want anything in their heads, except
pipe dreams and jazz. Another is
that drilling through solid bone and
ivory spoils so many drills that it
takes all the profit to employ mechan-
at $40 a day to temper and sharp
en- them.
Young man, if you have brains
enough to write things like an editor,
take something to kill the inclination
and then employ your brains invent
ing something new to eat or drink.
Pat the public ON the back, where the
patting is easy and soft, and keep
away from its head, or you will egt
your knuckles all skinned up.

ADVERTISED STORES

The advertised store give the
people news in which they are IN
terested. The closer an item of fact
comes to the personal affairs of the
people, the more persons are inter-
ested in it. There are few items in
a newspaper that come closer home
to u daily life than an annuonce-
ment that a merchant has a lot OF
goods which he can offer at an I'M
usually low price.
When you get a lot of people to
reading about a store and what 1t is
doing and offering, the same people
will Don be seen visiting that store
The desire is 81 keen to avoid high
prices, that any suggestion Of econo-
mics attracts a crowd.
A store that advertises bargains
impresses them as a store where
there is life and motion and things
doing. So the advertised store is the
well-filled store. and the well-fllet
store is the store that does a big bust
ness.

THE HEREAFTER

There must be some hereafter
some solace for sorrow, else why dc
u thoughts and sentiments flow
back and engulf US as an Alpine tor
rent? If it be the end, seems like We
would not care Is we do.
There are moments in all our lives
when there come flashing back into
memory's changing track recollec-
tons of friends who have been called
to that home beyond the stars not
made by hands. AS one contemplates
the moments, or maybe years, spent
with them, i~nexpressable sadness
creeps into the heart, and there is a
loneliness that cannot be described
a yearning for the comrade sleeping
beneath the sod, tongueless, silent,
inanimate as the clods that ratified
down upon the coffin. 1t is a part of
the great plan to love and be sepa-
rated, to have friends and have them
move away, to form attachments and
have them torn asunder by death,
the great leveler, who is no respecter
of love or friendships. Today we re-
joice, tomorrow we mourn; today we
laugh, tomorrow we cry; today our
friends are with us, tomorrow we are
alone. Thus has it been since the be-
ginning of time, and so will it be I'M
til there is no time, and the earth
shall be swallowed up in the final
eternal design of the Creator.

STOMACH VS.. A

In the open Forum" department o
a big city paper we notice a communi
cation from a young chap on a farm
who says to the editor: Il believe
can, and many of my friends believ,
! can, write things quite like you do
Will you kindly inform me where
can find a market for it?"
Now, that misguided young fellow
doubtless well off on a farm and
don't know it has been bitten by the
worst microbe that ever ate its way
into the human brain. 1t is a pity
some serum cannot be found by
science to kill that bug off.
Say. you poor fish, come out of it!
In the first place. o can't write for
sour apples, but just imagine you
can, like millions of others do. Be-
cause you have written two or three
pretty pieces for the local paper or
he school publication, which might
have possessed more or less merit
you imagine you have the earmarks
of a journalist, when in point of fact.
1t is only the earmarks of another
hallucination that is riding to a fall.
Writing a piece" once in six months
is one thing and grinding out a whole
newspaper every week, or every day,
containing hundreds of such pieces

on the former, the chances are a
thousand to one that on the latter
you would fall flatter than a cold
pancake. Journalists, like poets, are
born, and there are too many of 'em
born, at that, for half of them today
are making less money than tarriers
tamping ties on railroad sections.
Average up the whole country and
you will find, young man, that you can
hire all the college professors, minis
ters and editors you want at just ex-
actly one-half the price you will have
to pay for an equal number of car
penters, brick masons. plasterers and
hod carriers.
Better stick to that farm. There
are always spareribs, 'taters, corn
bread. pumpkins and greens on the
farm, while the journalistic road is
strewn with wrecks, bumps, pune
tured ambitions and wrinkled stom-
achs.
II you want to grow fat and pros
porous like a politician or profiteer,
rake in the scads, wear silk socks,
and win the hilarious plaudits of
your countrymen, don't feed them
anything in the head-feed it to 'em
in the stomach. People will pay a
dollar and a half for a T-bone
steak, but only a penny for a news
paper, and then boiler like they had
been hit with an ak when they cough
up the penny.
People will make you rich and bow
down before you, and pay you any
old price you ask-two or three
prices-if they can pour you offer
fngs into their stomachs. 1t does not
make much difference what it is, just
so it is something to eat or drink.
