The Country Correspondent.

The man or woman who wields the
pen, the pencil or the shears, in the
sanctum of a country newspaper may
occasionally cherish the idea that he
or she, is the whole thing" or most OF
it. But such an idea is not Justly cher.
ished The country correspondent--the
man or woman who watches the course
of events in the home town and makes
due note of the personal, business and
society happenings in the community
for use in the local paper, is entitled 10
full share Of glory for whatever sue
cess the local paper achieves, for the
measure of that success depends in no
small degree upon the regular contri-
buttons of the interested, loyal cor
respondent, who while helping TO make
a readable paper, does the home town
a signal service by revealing its activi-
ties, its enterprise its ambitions and
its general wakefulness, to the people
OF other towns not only in so-called To-
cal territory but throughout the state
In thus taking care of the news Of his
or her immediate section, the cores
pendent deserves, and should have, the
cordial cooperation Of every member Of
the community.
The Tribune is fortunate in having a
corps of 80 or more interested and de-
pendabe correspondents in surround

ice they are rendering from week to

Asst week began to tell this page of one Of those

studios, type of those which are responsible for
most Of the criticism with which the profession Of artists
model is burdened 1t win explain in large measure,
why the artists model who retains her to
be compmented than young of other professions
Adelaide very pretty and modest girl who had been
posing but short time had been the inspiration and
model for statue Of the nude which, exhibited in i'm
portant art gallery, had attracted wide attention As
have told already she received letter sent to her in
of the studio Of the artist who had done the statue and
addressed to "The Model" The letter invitation
to her from unknown to be his guest gathering
of his friends both "ladies and gentlemen at his home
evening in the near future. The correspondent
wrote that he would be glad make her present of his
check for hundred dollars she could spare him and
his guests the evening.
Adelaide knew in her secret soul that she should
that She asked her that evenings
"What would you do if someone wanted to give you
hundred dollarsi :.
The roommate's reply was terse and to the point;
:'Take it,
"But," said Adelaide, "when he does not say why he
wants to give the money, what hew require for ti
"Take it anyway, said the practical roommate-also
model but of experience than Adelaide and not
the rest" :
Adelaide knew this was the worldly advice Of young
woman who had not the same refnements the
ideals she had brought away from her home in small
Pennsylvania town. Her roommate good girl, but
with goodness that was hard and rather cynical.
There no else Of whom Adelaide could ask
advice. And one hundred dollars seemed such lot Of
money! 1t would mean new dress, pair of new slip
pers at least extra pair of silk hose and perhaps
extra money order for the folk at home.
There could be harm in answering asking for more
information, so the little model thought. II
She wrote many letters before she had composed one
which she thought would be just right-not informal
that it would commit her and give her correspondent
wrong idea of her character and yet cold that it
would positively alarm him. She wanted to strike this
happy medium she told herself she might really not
miss opportunity to get that hundred dollars IL she
could earn it without embarrassment.
Her letter read;
