Whooping Cougb

This is a very dangerous disease,
particularly to children under five
years of age, but when no paregoic,
codeine or other opiate is given, is
easily cured by giving Chamberlain g
Cough Remedy. Most people believe
that it must run its course, not know
ing that the time is very much short
ened, and that there is little danger
from the disease when this remedy is
given. 1t has been used in many cpl

THE AMERICAN PRESSASSOClATION
THURSDAY, MAY "a, 1922
LITERARY EFFORTS

Popular belief concerning pc
cuniary remuneration received by
writers of stories in popular magazines
is somewhat allayed by an article in
The Bookman for May, which offers
little in the way of encouragement to
the amateur writer, or even the writer
who has arrived in a small way.
The belief that a person who has one
story published in a magazine has al
most won his way to success is not
really founded on fact. Persistent eff
fort is required, even to place single
story, while only a few reach the
goal for which every amateur writer
of fiction strives-a name and high
earning power.
The Bookman article sets forth that
5 cents a word is high pay; even for
a writer with name. "Anything
over cents a word is doing pretty
WE'LL" the article continues, and
then sets forth actual prices which
have recently been paid for fiction,
among which are $12 for a 2500-word
story; $40 for 1000 words, that had
been rejected by score of editors
and finally placed $12 for 1900
word story; $25 for 1000 words and
$50 for 1000 words.

THE CHAUTAUoUA

United effort of the entire commu-
nifty is necessary to insure the finan-
cial success of the chautauqua, to be
held in June. The committee of ap-
proximately fifty guarantors of the
chautauqua has pledged the sale of
500 season tickets, at $3.50 each, or a
total of $3.50, and the sale of these
tickets is essential in order that =

There is a growing sentiment against
making guarantees to the company
for next year, but this is quite another
matter, which can be decided later.
The outstanding fact is, the chautau-
qua win be held this year, the guar
antee has been made, and by the pub
lie failing to cooperate, the chautauqua
company loses nothing on the present
contract. 1t will only be the guaran-
tors who viii be required to pay, and
surely, in deciding to bring the chau-
tauqua here they have been actuated
only by altruistic motives.

Animals That Eat Stones

q TONES are commonly found in the stomach Of
the crab-eating seal Of the Antarctic Seas;
and it is believed that they, with certain
amount Of grit, are scooped up with the crustacea
from the bottom Of the sea. The emperor penguin,
on the other hand shows an instructive craving for
stones for gizzard- grinding purposes; for these
stones must be assiduously sought, since these
birds never rest upon dry land. but only upon ice.
The fate Of stones swallowed by birds is not easy
TO determine.
Another unexpected name in this list Of stone
swalowers is that Of the Lesser Rorqual. This
is a ''baleen" whale, feeding upon minute crusta-
cea and fish. From the peculiar method Of feed
ing which is, so to speak forced upon this animal
it is unlikely that any portion Of its food is
scooped up from the sea-hoor; hence the pebbles
found in its stomach must be deliberately swal-
lowed and it is supposed, for the purposes Of
digestion. or, rather, Of trituration. They are
hardly likely TO be derived from the fish which
are engulfed for these are mostly herring.

advised her regarding the mysteries of fried

n HENRY's dearest romance-ths one
~ above all others for which he wanted
happy ending-has gone to smash His
daughter, Margaret Porter Cesare, herself an
able writer, Is suing her husband, Oscar E.
Cesare, celebrated cartoonist, for divorce.
In this discOrdant climax to the love idyll Of
o. Henrys daughter is something tragically
ironic 1t is as though real life with mischievous
perverseness, had decided to make the Porter
Cesare marriage spiteful object lesson to all
tellers Of tales
William Sydney Porter 20. Henry, was the
master Of the love story to the life, the eternal
believer in the victory Of young hearts over old
handicaps, the optimist of marriage, Cupid's first
lieutenant
Of all the castles in Spain he builded for
others in his books. none meant quite so much
to him as this living romance which first lowered
under his own eyes and with his gentle encour-
sgement.
In the attachment Of his beloved little Mar
garet for his friend Oscar Cesare, he saw, per-
haps, the beginning of of those tender dramas
he pictured so skilfully with his pen.
He adored his daughter. She was born to
him in those early Texas days, when he was only
venturing disastrousy IN newspaper work with
the Rolling Stone, occasionally landing a sketch
a story in the magazines for So and so.
During the shadowy years when o. Henry,

glorying in her love for Joe, sacrificed her hair
that she might buy him the beautiful watch
chain he so desired. And Joe, loving Deias hap
piness than anything earth, pawned his
watch that he might purchase the lovely pair OF
combs for Delias crowning beauty. So, facing
each other over the presents that were earthly
use to either, they both laughed and Joe began:
when one loves ones art no service seems"
But Della stopped him with her hand on his
lips. NO" she said-"just When one loves"
A pretty ending to a typical o. Henry love
story The sort he would have written for Mar
garet and Oscar Cesare. But life wrote another,
in which, though the details have not all been
given, the climax has. Here it is, told by the
telegraph
"Reno, Nev.-A suit for divorce, charging
failure to provide has been filed here by Margaret
Porter Cesare against Oscar Edward Cesare.
They were married in New York in July, 1915.
The failure TO provide charge is de-
MED by the defendant in his answer, but the suit
will not be contested"
The reader, scanning his o. Henry for
PLANTATION, may find it in another story, Cab
bages and Kings" For there o. Henry, in
paragraph, forgot for moment that he was
Cupid's first lieutenant.
Trouble" he wrote, often begins, instead OF
ending, with a romance"
