Hints To Writers.

These points will apply to young
people n high school who are worry
ing over their themes and essays. as
we'll as those who send in news items.
BE brief This is the age of tele-
graphs and stenography.
BE pointed Don'twrite all around
a subject without hitting il.
State facts but let the reader do
his own dreaming.
Use a simple vocabulary. The
plainest Anglo-S Saxon words are the
best.
Make your sentences short. Every
period is a mill stone at which the
reader may pause and rest
Plunge at once into your subject.
Don't preface il by a lot of unneees
sary remarks.
Condense Be sure you have an
idea and then use the fewest pos
sIhle words to tell about it,
Last, but not least, write legibly.

converted from his adventurous ways and again returned to the pulpit back in his old home in Virginia. James F. O'Brien, Knickerbocker's companion in that slow moving conveyance from Tonopah to Goldfeld, started the fast est advancing newspaper of that time and in less than twenty months sold out his interest for $75,000. Old "Dobbin," although slow in getting to Goldfeld, brought fast financial re- turns for his travellers. The increase in the marketable value of Goldfield securities during 1906 was upwards of $1OO, 100000 as set forth by various stock exchange quotations for Janu- ary 1, 1906, to January l, 1907. The following is San Francisco newspaper item of the excitement over the discoveries at Virginia City fifty years ago:
 "The San Francisco mining stock excitement continues on the uneven tenor of its way. Crown Point was $2SO and Belcher $130 the first of the month. June 6, Crown Point declared monthly $10 dividend, and on report that Alvinza Hayward, mining capi- talist, had bought 4,10O shares at $500 a share, it advanced to $335. June 13 came report that Belcher had cut into the extension of the Crown Point ore body and that stock advanced in a few days from $40 to $240 share. The market at these prices continued active until June 29, when a sudden break dropped prices of Grown Point to $285 and of Belcher to $165, at which they closed month of enor- nous trading.
